TAXING THE NECESSITIES
How Hosiery Duties Will Affect the
 Consumer.

From tho Boston Herald.
 True, coffee and tea, cocoa, and candy are not necessities of life. They are luxuries. But they are distinctively the luxuries of the common people. However, the table tax is not the only part of the tariff bill which has direct interest for the average man or woman. Stockings, 1t will be generally consid- cred, are necessities of modern civiliza- tion. Whittier's barefoot boy is not a type of young America. American civil ization has not accepted the example of Sockless Jerry Simpson. Stockings 1t must have. Under the Dingley bill there has been an average tax on i'm ported hosiery of 58.88 per cent. The Payne bill increases this tax from 40 to 42 per cent on the cheaper grades, and % per cent on the medium grades. On stockings costing S1 a dozen abroad, every American family must contribute 70 cents towards making up the nation al deficit. A Chicago dealer has figured it out that under the Payne bill 5o-cent stockings would be advanced to S5 cents; 10cent stockings would sell at IT and IS cents. and 25-cent stockings would sell at 10 cents. Do you wear stockings7 If you do, figure out your interest in the Payne bill. Come one has figured it out that the average schoolboy wears out eighteen to twenty two pairs of stockings a year; that the average girl requires fifteen pairs and the average woman uses twelve pairs of every day stockings every twelve months. The imports of women s hos iery, according to the ways and means committee are 5,101 ,5S9 dozen pairs, or two pairs for each woman and girl in the country. The average grade of imported stockings is of the value of II cents a pair, on which grade tho greatest increase of duty is imposed. The relation of tariff to the individual is thus rated as simple arithinetical problem.

WOMEN AND TARIFF
Increased Duties on Towels as Well as
 on Hosiery.

From the Chicago Tribune
 Dear Madam: Already we have told you of the increased taxes made in the new tariff bill on gloves and hosiery. But of scarcely less importance are the heavy increases in the taxes on hem stitched and drawn-work linen. A cas- ual reading of the new bill would lead one to believe that linens escape these advances, but a careful reading dis closes the fact that ill another portion of the bill hemstitchod and drawn work linens are assessed at highly increased rate.
 The popular grades which have under the present law been taxed 35 per cent ad valorem are now advanced to 60 per cent ad valorem. Do you realize what this means to yoa? You will have to pay on every dollars worth of these goods not 35 cents, tho present tax, but 50 cents-an increase of almost 100 per cent.
 For instance, plain hem stitched damask towel for which you now pay 25 cents will cost you 35 conts. A plain hem-stitched towel which now costs 35 cents will cost you 50 cents. A plain hem-stitched linen lunch cloth for which you now pay 75 cents will cost you $1. The plain hem-stitched doilies which you now get for $1.75 dozen will cost you about $2.50 a dozen.
 You should know that these sharp ad- vances will apply upon the most elab- crate. An article of daily household use is placed in the same category as the most expensive, so that the plainest hem stitched cloth is assessed at the

THE RUSSIAN PEASANT.
Stupid and Poor, Good Fellow Who
 Merely Exists

mereIy ESiSSS-
 The Russian peasant does not live: he merely exists. "Nitchevo" cit is nothing'0, he merely says when any thing happens to him. Nothing mt ters, nothing could be worse and "Nitchevo" is his pauacea for all evils, Aud yet the Russian moujik is really a fine fellow. Ordinarily. H. r. Kennard tells US in bis book. The Russian Peasant" he is splendid, well built man, large limbed. large headed and healthy. lie is equally unaffected by . 20 degrees of frost or twenty glasses of vodka. He is clothed in uncured sheep skins and carries in winter more clothes than the ge EnglishInan could stand up in.
 He Is unspeakably stupid. however and his dream of happiness is to gorge to sleep as much as possible through the winter and dance and sing in the summer. But the strangers first ob- jection to the moujik is that be smells not because he does not wash him. self. AS matter of fact, in every vil- lage there are public baths-baaza-- and the peasants wash themse.yes there unfailingly every Saturday in order to be allowed to go to church on Sunday, for the Orthodox church CD joins cleanliness.
 The Russian peasant is always poor and generally in debt. He blows the land ill the same way that his father plowed 1t and gets as little for bis la Dor. His main worry in life is how to pay the governors taxes. If be says he cannot pay he is logged, or perhaps he will sell part of his next years power of work-!. e., work for noth- Ing for several mOnths--to raise a loan. and of course he Is worse on than ever the following year.
 On Christmas night at dusk the mar. riagcable village girls. go out into the streets and meet their young men. and one says, What is your namer" The young man answers ''Foma," and she replies. My husbands name is Foma"
 Some days later at the girls home relations are gathered together. There comes knock at the door. The sta rosta and the young man enter. carry ing loaves Of bread. The starosta says something like this:
 We are German people, come from Turkey. We are hunters, good feI- lows. There was a time once in our country when We saw strange foot prints in the snow, and my friend the prince here saw them. and we thought they might be fox's or martens foot prints or it might be those of beautl- ful girl. We hunters, we good fel- lows, are determined not to rest till We have found the animal. We have been in all cities from Germany to Turkey and have sought for this fox. this marten or this princess. and at last we have seen the same strange foot prints In the snow again, here by your court. And we have come in. Come, | let us take her, the beautiful princess, | Tor we see her in front of us, or can ! 1t be that you would keep her till she grows little older?'
 Thus does the, moujik ask for wife.

BUSINESS IS GOOD"
Business is good


 During the past few days the si- yer Belt has been preaching a number of short sentence sermons from the text
 Business is good.
 We have advised you to print tho words on & sign, tack 1t up in q con spicuous place and to carry the same sentiment into your talks with your GUS toners over the counter, in the count ing room, or wherever you may ap- proach them.
 'Rusiness is good That is opti- mism--an expression of satisfaction 1t is inspiring, magnetic, drawing; it means success, and the world worships at the shrine of success and buries it meath showers of boquets.
 Did you ever think of this7
 No person likes a.

 And, bless you, the world never stops to encourage this species of humanity. People are loath to approach them; they are summed and avoided and per mitted to grow even more sour on the world and--themselves.
 Naturally this unpleasant weakness is detrimental to business; and it would be pretty hard work for mortal so constructed to form the habit of sn,i!. ing and repeating the legend
 Business is good"
 But this expression of optimism and satisfaction is the keynote to business success. It may reqriro courage some times to repeat tito act it--but don't ever lose your nerve, nor take your eye from the sight upon the gun barrel.
 There be whole lot of business houses in Globe that have made this sentiment their motto in business and they have succeeded.
 There is striking example of the force of this expressed optimism in the business career of Sam Seelig, the grocer, down on North Broad. We .Ae making mention Of this case without the permission of MT. Seelig, but he won't feel bad about it when we arc through, because we're going to contine ourselves to the truth, and the tcuth in this particular case isn't the dope that hurts.
 MT. Scelig embarked in business de termined to win.
 And he has won.
 The Seelig store is success this very minute, and it isn't a yea old, either.
 Before Seslig opened his doors for business he called at the Silver Belt office and contracted for more advertis- ing space than any grocer had ever before used in Globe. He used this space for "counter talks -; that is, he told tine people in plain, straightfor- ward way in his advertisement just what he was telling them over the counter.
 That's genuine advertising.
 He did more; he gave them assur ance that business was good; that it would be better if he had their trade, and he concluded his conversation by making a gentsel bid for it.
 Go down to Seelig's place any day. ask this enterprising young business man how business is--
 "Good, good-growins better every day--every minute. Now, last month, continues Mir. Seelig, II did steen dol lars worth of business. I'm going to do % per cent better this month, and still better next. I'm out after new customers all the time and my book ings show that I'm getting thsm.''

Eat What You want of the food you need Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it.
 Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak.
 You must eat in order to live and maintain strength.
 You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat sufic- lent amount Of food regularly.
 But this food must be digested. and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it. you must take something that will help the stomach.
 The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol di- gest the food.
 Nothing else can dc this. When the stomach is weak it needs help: you must help 1t by giving 1t rest, and Kodol will do that.

STOP POLICEMAN
And AVERT PANIC

Chicago. Nov. 25.--Fire in a hotel
adjacent to the Grand eperahouse to-
night caused the audience, which was
witnessing the FIRST act Of The Dawn
Of Tomorrow to leave the theatre.
A panic in the theatre was averted
when attaches stopped a policeman
who ran into the foyer shouting:
Fire, fire, there's a fire in the build
ing"
House employees prevented him from
getting into the auditorium, and, when
the facts were learned, an announce
ment was made from the stage that
the hotel adjacent to the theatre was
on fire and that the audience would
be temporarily dismissed. The thea
tire va emptied quietly, and, when the
fire was discovered to be inconsequent-
ial, the performance was resumed. All
but thirty persons in the audience, re-
turned to their seats The thirty APP
piled at the box Office for a refund.
