A DEATH
BLOW TO
BUSINESS
0IeomaTgarIne Men to Protest
Against the Passage Of tho
{. Grout 9III by Senate.

Several representatives of the oleomar-
garine industry have gone TO Washing
ton from this city. in order TO protest
against the passage OF the Grout bin by
the Senate. their argument being that
the bill, which places what Is termed
a prohibitive tax upon the manufacture
Of oleomarearine will. II passed by the
Senate, result in closing the big manu-
factories of this city.
There are three factories in this city
and one of them. much larger than the
others, has an output as great. probably,
as any individual plant In the country.
In the business in this city is invested
a capital of nearly three-qusrters OF a
million dollars
From the industry In this state tho
government receives annually s2l5, 900 in
round numbers, for internal revenue.
In the manufacture of their product
these manufactures use an immense
amount Of milk. which comes from farms
in Rhode Island ana the easteriy end
Of Connecticut.
MI Jereriah Han, secretary OF ire
Oaktale Manufacturing company, said
there were three factories in this city.
the output OF which is about 900
pounds Of butterine each month, from
which the government receives a revenue
OF $1,000 q month, which IN IL month
amounts TO sls2.ooo.
Mr. Hall said that he believed there
were about 400 holders Of retail licenses
in the state. At the rate of sis for each
retail license this makes a total OF 5000
paid In 20 the government treasury.
There are four wholesalers Of oleo in
the city whose licenses at $3.50 each.
amount annually TO 1920. The three
manufacturers here each pay a manu-
facturer's license Of $500, which amounts
70 $500 a year
The revenue to the government, there
fore, may be summarized as follows:
Tax OF two cents per pound on 100000
pounds a month. $1,000. or $4,000 year;
400 retailers licenses. at 34S each, 1890
year four wholesalers licenses, al $3.50,

TO DRESS WILL AND CREaPLy.

The woman who wishes to dress well
with as small an outlay of time and
money as possible finds a tailor suts~ the
most important item OF her wardrobe
Such a suit of cheviot serge. medium
weight. IL suitable for wear all the year
round In this climate
In summer the jacket will be little used
except on Journeys, the waist being
chosen to suit the weather, while In win
ter, with suitable change in undercloth-
ing, the jacket needs only TO be supplant-
ed with fur collar, or. at most, on bit-
ter days by golf cape. to be entirely
comfortable.
There are many really handsome ready
made suits ranging from $50 To $50. For
the unfortunstes who can never be a.ted
from these garments there are firms who
make suits to measure at prices CORE
spending to those OF ready made gar
ments.
1t is q mistake TO wear ones street cos
tune In the house II should be removed
and carefully shaken and brushed off as
soon as one comes in.
IL is equally a mistake to think that
ANY old gown" will DO to woar at home.
The family's tastes need some attention.
Simple IL may be, but let II be up TO date
and becoming In celor and fashion. The
so-called wrapper" Of ginrham Is an
abomination. II a woman prefers the neg
ligee style, she should avoid the ready
made" as IL IL were nettles, unless she
can AFFORD to pay At least SIS. Otherwise
she must content herself with pretty
lawn shirt waists and lightweight skirts.
If che would look well dressed at home.
Having selected a. handsome a tailor
made suit as her means justify, and
taken good care of It, a woman can be
stylish in IL for several seasons. The year
she needs no tailor suit tho thrifty wom-
an will nnd time TO repienish her ward
robe-with an evening or dinner dress. The
separate waists are a boon to economical
femininity for they can be made of most
anything you have. Honey" as Dinah
said OF her soup, and many a remnant
has been evolved into a thing OF dainu=-
ness and variety dear to the feminine
heart. Hats, gloves and shoes, so import
ant in tho toilet. need to be well chosen
il they are not to prove the stumbling
bleck in the path or economy. For ths
nnatron black bonnets and hats, always
refined and elegant, are most serviceal,le.
A black velvet hat OF fine quality will

gloves; the really good makes give 80
much wear besides looking well from
first TO last. IL is "a mistake TO use ex-
trcinely light gloves, except for gala oc-
casiony and nothing is more untldy than
soiled gloves. sy cleaning them at home
with benxine or gasolene many a dime
may be saved.
Eethins is more extravagsnt In the end
than cheap shoes, as only well made
shoes will give satisfactory wear. An
excellsnt plan TO strengthen the soles Is
TO varnish them. after wearing once or
twice. with copal varnish. letting IL dry
thoroughly before wearing. Ten cents
worth viii suffice for many pairs.
