BUT WON'T MAKE CUTS
(By United Press Leased WIRE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 16.
that President Taft feels his re-
sponsibility to his party and there
fore favors a downward revision
of the tariff is the substance of a
statement issued at the White
House today following the visit of
La delegation of republican con-
gressmen, who pleaded with the
president to have raw material in
their districts placed on the free
list.
The president informed his
callers that while he was commit
ted to the principle of a revision
downward he could not see his
way clear to advocate that raw
material should be admitted free.
He declared that he was obliged
to observe the question from the
viewpoint of the whole country,
and not any particular district.
President Taft pointed out to his
visitors that the republican plat
form stood for a revision down
ward. although the principle
might not apply to every case. He
said that IL iron, ore, oil, coal and
hides did not need protection they
should be admitted free.
However. he declared that the
question raised by the delegation
was one that he would give much
thought, and at the same time he
would take advantage of all vail
able information in order that he
might carry ont what he under
stood to be the promises of his
party.

Gold Hat Bands

The new directoire bands worn across the forehead in the evening have started the style for ornamental gold bands around the hat crown. All the directoire lines are formal and severe, even in jew elry and this hat band follows in the fashion.
 It is made from heavy bullion thread, joined together to follow series of open squares; or it is made from coarse gold ribbon, arranged in lattlcework
 The band itself is three or four inches wide and goes around a furry beaver sailor without the addition of any other trimming. It may be caught at the side with a fiat bow of itself or a barbaric buckle.
 A beaver sailor trimmed in this way and secured with four imitation turquoise hatpins and covered with black fshnet veil makes attractive and fashionable headgear for the street hours.

Louisville, January 12.-A cargo of coal. the first of 10000, 900 bushels from Pittsburg, which has been delayed in the upper bends of the Ohio river, is floating through Louisville tonight for the south. The coal came on a rise in the headwaters.
 All night long steamers followed the first five which arrived here during the course of the day, some of the coal being left for this city, the re- mainder going through the canal and southward. Because of the low wa ter in the canal here the big tow boats had to be swapped and returned to Pittsburg while lighter tows car ried the shipments along. This is the first coal which has been able to be floated for 21S days because of low water.

Suggestions For the Housewife


 Never add salt to cooked pork until tract the juice.
 An old turkey has rough and reddish legs. Fresh killed. the eyes are full and clear. and the feet moist.
 
 A fish sauce can be served in the half of a hard-boiled egg. Remove the yolk, pour in the sauce and place the little egg ramekin in the heart of a lettuce head.
 Run peanuts through the chopping ma chine and cream them with melted but ter Some like pinch of mustard in peanut butter. especially when used for dark bread sandwiches.
 Clear soup or consomme should be strained through a folded towel laid on a colander. It must not be squeezed or some of the small particles of egg used in clearing will be forced through and spoildthe soup.
 Clean iron holders are the exception rather than the4rule They need not be, for little washable cases are open at one end like a pillow slip, are easily made. and can be renewed as often as desirable with little trouble. Tie cases on with tapes.
 Save old kid gloves for ironing day. Sew a pad made from the left glove on to the palm of the right one and you will find your hand Is saved from becoming blistered, while the fingers and the back of the hand will be protected from the scorching heat which is so damaging to the skin.

Trimmed Furs Very Stylish

That to be ornamental as well as useful is the mission of furs this season has long since been proved. The elaborate, rather than the practical, features make the fur garment this winter.
 For instance, the beautiful chinchilla, that costly skin, usually ranked as a luxury, this season is used 70 adorn other skins and is a most effective trimming.
 Furs for afternoon or dress occasions are decorated with laces, fringe and all sorts of trimmings, the only plain models being reserved for stormy days.
 The continued popularity of the throw" scarf is amazing, and can only be ex- plafned by certain "chicness" that they nossess. which makes them very attrac- tive.
 .Crokers'' are the latest fad in furs, and while scarfs are desirable on the score of becomingness and the long, dropping ends giving very smart ef- feet, the short neck piece is more pop ular.
 The "chokers" are very jaunty Nothing else seems to so exactly express the smartness of the short bit of fur which eQc1rcleS the neck Wllll lO looPo oi OhN'o dangling. For the person who is sus- ceptible to cold, the "choker' is rather a dangerous neckpiece, for when left on it is more than apt to engender cold.
 Persian lamb is one of the most pop ular furs of the season, and lends itself to many attractive fashions for young and old
 Next in favor is mink, and of course Hudson Bay sable. Both are always good style and worth while owning.
 The fad for marten, which was re- marked some years ago, is seldom heard of now.
 White fox is one of the seasons popular furs.
 The muffs of all these furs are larger and more exaggerated than ever, and the square corners differ from last seasons in as much as they were round and the huff not so large this winters style.

A simple way to get warm after ex- posture to cold is to take a long breath with the mouth firmly shut Repeat this several times, until you begin to feel the heat returning. It requires a very short time to do this.
 The long breath quickens the pulse and thus causes the blood to circulate faster. The blood flows into all parts of the veins and arteries and gives out a great deal of heat It is stated that this method of deep breathing prevents colds and a great many other ailments if taken in time.
