TAFT TO OUTLINE
AMBITIOUS PLANS
WOULD REGULATE STOCK
AND BOND ISSUES.
FAvORS "RAILROAD COURT"
Most of the Bills to Affect Corpora
tions-Expects to Arouse Much
Opposition.

Washington, Nov l6.-The chief
subjects to be discussed by President
Taft in his forthcoming message to
congress are not secrets since the
recent tour of the President. He
has indicated pretty clearly what
they will be and has mapped out a
programme Mr.. Taft proposes to
submit the whole programme to
congress at one time-to ask in a
single message for the enactment of
laws that, if they are passed, will
mark the coming session of con-
gress as truly epoch-making.
Most of the bills he proposes to
have introduced affect corporations
in one way or another, and the most
important of them promise to arouse
fully as much opposition as any
thing that developed in the fight
over the rate bill three years ago.
The chief subjects on which the
President will recommend legisla-
ton are:
Supervision of the issue of stocks
and bonds by interstate corporations.
REIMBURSEMENT of the duties and
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Expansion of the duties of the
Bureau of Corporations
Creation of new bureau in the
department of justice to deal with
violations of law by interstate car
riers.
Amendment of Sherman antitrust
law.
Establishment of so-called "rail-
road court"
Creation of postal savings bank.
Ship subsidies.
Amendment of the procedure re-
garding the granting of injunctions.
Conservation of natural resources

ENFORCEMENT or The LAW
Wormy Apples and How to Use Them
Protect Your Neighbors

The question of wormy apples is
again confronting growers and dealers.
The law with regard to fruit thus in
fected is explicit. 1t must not be
offered for sale. If found on the mar
ket or elsewhere it must be destroyed.
Inspector Darlington of Wenatchee
says:
THE question has been raised as to
whether it is lawful to sell or purchase
infected fruit for cooking purposes.
While it is impracticable for the in
spector to visit every Preside in the
district, it is not impracticable for him
to visit the market places, and he has
the power under the law to condemn
such fruit wherever he finds it. l see
no other way to do than to enforce the
law, as this is one of the best preventa-
tives of wormy apples in the future"
Orchards in the East are being aban-
doned because enemies of perfect fruit
have developed SO rapidly as to de-
stroy both trees and product. 1t is to
prevent this calamity in Washington
that the local law was passed. Every
fruit grower owes to every other fruit
grower, and to the public, not only
strict compliance with the law, but also
the greatest care in handling his Or
chard and output to produce only per-
feet fruit.
Inspector Darling further says:
1t seems too bad that there is such
a large percentage of this class of fruit
and that there is no way of utilizing it.
But under the circumstances there is
to do but to enforce the law.
There can be no objection raised to
the use of these apples so long as they
are not removed from the place. But
if they were allowed to be sold on the
market farther evasion of the law would
result. 1t would seem that the most
way of using these apples
would be to can them, dry them, or
make cider and vinegar from them on
the place.

Tanning Skins With the Hair On

1t often happens that one wishes to
preserve the skin of a calf, sheep, dog,
goat, or other domestic or wild animal
for rug, robe, or other purpose. In
many instances they are sent to tanner
at distance to be dressed, at consider
able expense for transportation and
other charges. This work can be done
at home at small cost and little labor if
a few simple directions are followed.
To tan them with the hair or fur on,
take the skin when fresh and stretch it
tightly against a door or smooth wall
and nail it fast. Then wash with solu-
ton of soda and water, and scrape off
all the adhering pieces of flesh and fat
with dull, broad-bladed knife, trowel,
or some other like instrument. Take
it down and clense the hair, wool or fur
with water and soap, rinse well and let
dry. Dissolve four ounces each of COM
mon salt and ground alum and one-half
ounce of borax in hot water; and when
thoroughly dissolved add sufficient rye
flour to make thick paste. Spread this
mixture on the flesh side of the skin.
Fold it lengthwise with the flesh side
in, and place it in an airy place, where
the rays of the sun will not strike it,
and let it remain for ten days.
Then shake it out, remove the mix
ture from the surface, wash the skin
and wipe it dry with soft cloth. After
this treatment lay it on board and with
blunt knife or other suitable instru-
ment scrape until all the moisture is
removed. Lay it away and in day or
two take it down and work it over
beam-or with the hands if it is small
skin-until it is soft and pliable. In
case the skin is large one, it will re-
require larger amount of the material
than suggested above. Skins treated
by this process will be found to be as
satisfactory as those manipulated by a
professional tanner.

SETTLERS WIN DECISION
Real Workers on Irrigation Projects
to Be Paid.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Settiers on
government irrigation projects who
assisted in constructing these pro-
jects, and who were paid in water
users certificates, since declared in
valid by the encouragement, are
to be paid in cash for such services
as they rendered. This will be done
under the decision of the controller
of the treasury, who concurs in the
view of the attorney general that
the issuance of certificates was IL
legal, but who further holds that,
inasmuch as actual work was per-
formed in the interest of the gov
eminent, it must be paid for.
There are about 100000 worth of
certificates outstanding.

Bath Breaks His Heart.

Portland, Or, Nov. 16.-That he
pined away because he had been
forced to break vow that water
should not touch his flesh, is the
only cause physicians can ascribe
for the death of Chin HUI, Chinese
patient at local hospital. During
the four days he was in the hospital
he was forcibly washed three times,
and each time he seemed to suffer
a greater mental agony, his grief
finally terminating with his death.

How to Make Milk Paint

Into gallon of milk stir three pounds

This is good for trees where large

TEARS START WHEN
GIRL TEST|F|ES
ELLA GINGLES, CHARGED WITH
THEFT, TELLS STORY
OF LIFE.
SAYS MRS. BARRETTE ROBBED
HER OF WATCH AND
kEEPSAkES.

Chicago, July Billie Gingles took
the witness stand in her own defense
in Judge Brentano'S court room here
yesterday, telling story that aroused
fresh sympathy of the many women
prominent in church and philanthropy
ic work. who crowded into the room
to hear her.
The girl told the story of her life,
when she was charged with the theft
of lace from Miss Agnes Barrette, OF
the Wellington hotel. She declared
that this charge against her was
manufactured, and when she left the
stand, her attorney promised that to-
day they would go into the details of
the attack on her in the hotel and
how she was almost forced into a life
of shame by women who pretended to
be her friends The men with whom
these women were acting would be
named, it was stated.
The young lace maker came to
Montreal alone, two years ago, she
said. After working few months
in Canada, she came to Chicago and
rented little room in a boarding
house. She worked as chambermaid
during the day and at night made
lace, 1t was the story of a struggling
unsophisticated country girl to that
point Then Miss Barrette entered
her life and the trouble began. In
stead of stealing lace from Miss Bar
rette, the girl said that Mrs. Barrette
and Mrs. Celia Kenyon, who died a
few days ago, came to her room at
night and ransacked her belongings,
taking her money and her watch and
The little things she had made in her
childhood. Her eyes filled with tears
at times as the injustice she had suf-
fered came home to her.
