GEDDES (Staff Correspondent of the United Press.) Washington, Oct. and aches and some forms of illness may be made somewhat "easier" financially, under the new Democratic tariff law.

At least, that's the way it looks from here, after a study of schedules on medicines, and raw materials used by druggists and chemists i in the manufacture of medicines, and which are admitted free or on which import duty has been lowered. Of course, there will be the same rates of charge by the doctors; and of course, you'll have to wait until the present supply of raw materials and drugs gives out before the anticipated (but by no means certain) reductions in retail prices materialize. The trend of the tariff reductions is all broadly toward reducing the cost of curing aches and pains. Import taxes on medicinal and chemical compounds and preparatoins (patent medicines) all are reduced from 5 to 10 per cent. Duties on many drug store supplies are also slashed considerably.

The import tax on hospital utensils is cut 15 per cent. Gum arabic, which druggists use in great quantities and practically all of which is imported, will cost more. It has been taken off the free list and made subject to a duty of one-half cent: a pound- and imports of 5,000,000 pounds are expected next year. Balsams, free of duty under the old law, are now taxable at 10 per cent of their value. But castor oil, the old reliable family remedy, should be cheaper, as castor beans can now be imported for 10 cents less a bushel.

Castor oil ready for the family spoon is imported for 22 cents gallon less than heretofore. For those preferring a less drastic remedy, calomel can now be imported 20 per cent cheaper, but calomel imports are small. The duty on epsom salts, too, has been cut in half and that on rochelle salts pared a half-cent a pound. A new duty of 1 cent a pound has been placed on sarsaparilla root, but the retail price of figs should go down a half-cent if the buyer gets all tariff benefits. Quinine is still on the free list and 29,000.000 pounds of the bark are the estimated imports for next year.

The duty on camphor is reduced one cent a pound, but the consumer will hardly save anything on a dime a bottle as a result. Cod liver oil should be bought cheaper, at least in the east, where a duty of 15 cents a gatlon has been removed. Disinfecting one's home after sickness should be cheapened, as the duty on has been reduced from 25 to 4 per cent. Leeches the old-fashioned "blood-letting" devices, are still on the free list. So are all anti-toxins, including vaccine virus.

SPLENDID ORANGE CROP AT LEMON COVE. W. H. Clarkson, one of the leading orange growers of the Kaweah district, said Saturday, speaking of the orange crop: "Lemon Cove is preparing to pick the largest orange crop ever secured in that district.

The oranges are coloring slowly, owing to the continued warm spell, but as soon as the cool season starts. the shipments will be underway." PORTERVILLE GIRL TO BE MISSIONARY.

He states that the accident was due to the employment of foreigners who were unable to understand his command to stop a car that finally came crashing down on Swanton.

TULARE COUNTY FRUIT TO DOMINATE MARKET. Because the orange market in the East is practically cleared at this time and because the Tulare oranges are the first to arrive on the scene, extra good prices are anticipated.

The Tulare oranges are slightly undersized at this time but it is hoped they will fill out within the next fortnight. MERCED ADDS TO FIRE EQUIPMENT.

In an effort to learn more of the geologic formation of the rock outcropping at Nevada Falls and Bridal Veil in the Yosemite, a group of Mariposa teachers in oil skins inspected parts seldom seen by the tourist Thursday. The water coming over the falls is now at its lowest and this made possible the close inspection. The teachers are also trying to find out the cause of the strange booming, characteristic of these falls, and which every tourist well remembers. This booming sound is heavy enough to rattle windows and has never been adequately explained.
