THE POWDER PUFF.

1t reposes on every toilet table.
Yet few who use it know anything
about it
1t is bit Of down from swans, wild
geese or elder ducks.
AS many as 10000 young swans are
killed yearly to supply it.
This in addition to innumerable
young geese and ducks.
The swans and geese who make this
Offering at beauty's shrine live on the
islands OF Baltic and in Norway and
Sweden.
The elder ducks are inhabitants OF
the northern and ice-bound seas.
One young swan. or cygnet. will
make nearly a dozen average-sized
pufIs
The down of a cygnet costs little
more than IS cents.
A single pun, however, when mount
ed. sells at from 81 up.
SO it will be seen that the pun trade
is q profitable one.

NEVER MIX CIDER AND VINEGAR

If there is a cider mill near by it will
pay 70 have the surplus apples ground
up into cider, says Farming. IT is al
most always readily marketable as
vinegar. Sweet cider should never be
added to vinegar. because the acetic
acid in the vinegar will prev ent the
sugar in the cider from being convert
ed into alcohol, and consequently the
result will be very poor quality OF
watery vinegar.

STRIKE TAX REDUCED. j..
Union Printers Advised That but
Per Cent Will Be Collected.

An official communication from the Inter-
national Typographical Union was received
by President T. c. Parsons of Columbia
Typographical Union, this city, last even
ing, which directs that beginning with the
week of November 1926, 1906, and there
after until further notice. the assessment
will be per cent of all moneys earned.
Further reductions will be made as the
situation warrants
This order is understood to mean that
the officers of the international body believe
the fight for an eight-hour day and the
union shop. which has been waged since last
January, Is nearly won. All union printers
throughout the country had been paying
into the strike fund 10 per cent of their
earnings. The assessment was next re-
duced to per cent, and the order Of last
night, as will be observed, still further re-
duces it.
There was considerable iubilatien among
the union printers of this city last night at
the turn events have taken. and the belief
was expressed that by the beginning of the
the new year there will be still further
reduction of the strike assessment or, that
1t will be entirely wiped out.
AS to the local situation. an officer Of the
union said last night that only a few of
the job printing houses are holding out
against the union demands 1t Is the ex-
pectation of the Washington typos that
a. complete victory will be written upon
