There are many persons who. from
a misguided sense of economy, pur-
chase food which they know to be in
ferior, so that they may thereby save
in order to meet other demands of the
family. Handsome clothing and fine
houses in aristocratic neighborhoods
are desirable, we admit; but not at
the expense of the most important
factor of our existence: especially
when we know that pure, nourisha-
BILE food is the immediate cause Of
pure blood, and, consequently, more
perfect nerve and brain power. 1t is
not only false economy but positive
crime to obtain edibles below the
standard for the use Of sustaining
both the mental and physical health
of any human being. Baltimore

Senator Hill Argues that Income Tax ON

In the Senate Tuesday morning n. Hill
withdrew his tariff bill amendment to ex-
empt from taxation the income OF United

the clause read @the principal and interest
of which are. by the law Of their issuance. {"
etc. That suggestion was accepted BY Mr.
Vest on the part of the Finance Commit
toe, and the clause was 40 modified.
Then Mr.. Hill said he had offered his
amendment last Saturday to call attention
to the fact that s6a5, 900. 900 OF property was
by this clause taken out of the taxable
property OF the country. He then offered
an amendment to include within the ex-
emption the bonds of q State. county. mu-
nicipality, or town, and he made an argu-
ment In support OF that amendment Mr..
Vest argued against it. The result of such
legislation, he said, would be to put an
enormous premium on those securities to
the disadvantage OF other securities of the
country. Mr. Hill argued that with this

so durable that specimens three centuries

About the beginning of this century the
old Bank of Albany, long since defunct,
but then presided over by 10 distinguished
representatives of the Fatherland issued
its first circulating notes Almost imme-
diately after they were received from the
printer an application for loan was made
to the bank by drover who was web
known in Albany for his financial sound
ness. The loan was promptly passed" by
the board
The cashier considered whether he would
pay out the beautiful new currency OF
gold. He reconvened the directors and
faithfully laid this weighty question be
fore them.
A long discussion ensued, and it seemed
as if no satisfactory conclusion would ever
be reached, until the following deep think
ing speech was made by one of the mum
Der:
Gentlemen Of the board, these bills of
ours, received today, have cost this bank a
large sum of money. The engraver, the
printer, the paper maker and incidentals
all have to be paid The thought of these
expenses, so justly incurred does not stag
ger me in the least, for the bills are very
fine and an ornament to the bank. But,
gentlemen, when it is proposed to send
these new bills into the far west, there to
be traded for cattle-torn, soiled and per
haps utterly destroyed-I for one solemnly
protest.
II venture the opinion, gentlemen, that
should you be so unwise as to allow these
new bills to be sent north and west beyond
Lansingburg and Schenectady and away
the other side of Utica, as / understand
this man proposes to take some of them
you will never see them again so long "a
the Bank of Albany has an existence or 1
name"
The motion that gold should be paiC
was carried unanimously.-Yo Cor"
Danion.
