Shipping Of Citrus
Trees
(Special to The Herald*
SAN BENITO. Aug. 29.—Concert
ed action on the part of Valley
nurserymen to prevent the shipping
of Florida citrus trees into the state

BEAN TARIFF

Committee Grant/ Special
Hearing on Valley
Tax Protest
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. Aug. 29 —The sen
ate finance committee today is re
considering its action in lowering
the tariff on beans to one half cent,
according to a telephone conversa
tion between Brown White, chair
man of the Valley tariff committee,
and J. A1 Arnold, manager of the
Southern Tariff association.
The tariff on beans previously
has been placed at 3 1-2 cents, ac
cording to White. Recently, wher.
the serate finance committee, at
the request of Gulf coas*; growers,
cut out the seasonal provision or
most vegetables, it cut the bean
tariff to one half cent the year
round.
Mr. White wired senators from
Texas, and officers of the South
ern Tariff association. He said to
day that the reduction of the bean
tariff would put the Valley section
at the mercy of northern Mexico.
“I was informed that the Nation
al Grange, the Federated Farm bu
reau, and the Southern Tariff as
sociation were granted a special
hearing today through the efforts
of Senator Watson.” W’hite said.
”in an effort to get the bean tariff
back where it was.”

the state is supersede l by federal

will apply, he said, unless the trees
are barred because of some other
reason.
The Valley nurserymen plan to
take the matter up with leading
residents cf this section in other
lines of business, with congressmen
and others in public life, and with

Every person should have a clear skin.
If you have skin blemishes why not get rid
of them PERMANENTLY ?
THOUSANDS of people have weak, im
pure blood—to this may be attributed pim
ples, boils, eczema, “run-down” systems, rheu
matism and even more serious ailments.
Without plenty of rich, red blood, there
could be no strong, sturdy, powerful men, or
beautiful, healthy women.
When you get the number of your red-blood
cells back to normal, that sluggish, let-down
feeling, loss of appetite, those pains usually
called rheumatism, boils, pimples, and skin
troubles disappear. You get hungry again and
sleep soundly; firm flesh takes the place of
that which was once flabby. You feel strong.
Your nerves become steady. You are resistant
to disease.
Throughout more than a hundred years S.S.S.
has been a blessing to millions of people who
have taken advantage of its wonderful medicinal
properties. It is Nature’s own blood tonic for
improving the appetite, clearing the body of so
, called skin troubles, and building strength and
resistance to disease.
S.SS. increases the count of red-cells in the blood.
If eak, impure blood is injurious to the system, low
ering resistance to disease. Rich, red blood builds
and sustains the body. S.S S. Jiclfs Nature build
rich, red blood. Good blood improves the processes
by which the body is nourished, promotes construc
tive metabolism (healthy body building) and works
against infection and disease. Take SSS. daily at
mealtime. To get full benefit you must take it regu
larly and over a sufficient period of time. At all
Drug Stores. Ask for the larger size. It is more
economical.
Skin troubles—
pimples, boils, ec
zema, and sallows
com 11 ext on—are
usually but symp
toms of a deeperm
a more dangerous
trouble—a lack of
the normal count
of red-cells in the *
blood."
When you tab*
S.S.S. to get rid of,
these outside blem
ishes, • you are
building up the sys
tem to ward of the
graver diseases of
which these blem

warning.
