VertiSing when Il little space in the

results Every sign in Rio de Janeiro
is taxed. A cafe having a special
"Sorvcte," or ice. to serve makes a
plaCard and hangs it to a doorpost or
to one of the palm trees in tubs which
commonly decorate such establish
ments. The notice thus posted must
have revenue stamp attached. Per
mHECHt signs are taxed on a perma-
nent basis. temporary signs on a stamp
basis. \ sign House For Rent bears
Il revenue stamp. Under such circum-
stances the tax on signboards or bill
boards is the expected thing. but nat
urally there is much less general use
of such forms of advertising
As in the cities of the United States,

Enclosures about buildings in course of

of boards to erect such signs, there are

Mr.. ma ynard's New Vest.

Representative Harry Maynard, who
dwells at Tidewater. Va, where the
whispering wavelets Of Chesapeake bay
weep pityingly about the boundaries Of
the jamestown exposition grounds, blew
into the House the other day with a
new fancy vest. Now. new and even
startling waistcoat upon the person of
any one of the gay boys of the House
excites little more than passing comment
But upon Mr.. Maynard. who4 ordinarily
dresses with the atmospheric gentleness
OF a Chopin nocturne. and who loves
the farmer even as Cain loved Abel, the
effect was startling.
Mr.. Maynard Is Lot small. Canvas back
duck. hay terrarir and the other goodies
that dwell in hi. district have done
their work From the front Me resembles
Falstaff of blessed memory and his rear
view is reminiscent of a depot wagon.
And as he entered the House, while
Champ Clark was speaking and prone
thumbs in the armholes of his vest,
joyous in the pride Of possession, Mr..
Maynard looked all to the good.
The vest is of that happily indetermi-
nate hue that dwells between the mus
tard on the coaxins plaster and the
color of the human face after a severe
bilious attack IN the tropics. 1t is an
active energetic Shade. 1t doesn't wal,
till you get close To T. to make your
bounding through the atmosphere, to
shake the limp and reluctant hand and
stun all eleven senses at once.
There Are fears in the House that Mr.
Maynard ConteTplates the purchase of a
checked suit and crimson tie.

porter today that the condition of the pa
tient had been considered serious for a
week preceding his death, and his rela-
tives had been notified to that effect four

Here are a few of my SIM

the years that have passed

many younger men around
me:
81 never ate as much as l
could eat, in my entire life.
81 never drank intoxicants
of any kind.
Il have never used tobacco
in any form.
II have never taken more
than half a glass of ice water
at once,
II never drank ice water
after meals, thus paralyzing
the digestive organs.
81 have never gone in wa
ter above my head. A mans
head has no more business
under the water than a fish
has out of it.
Il early learned what foods
were injurious and those
which assisted nature in its
work. / always avoided the
former.
81 have never remained in
draft when overheated.
Il eat only two meals a
day-at 8 am. and q pm. >
