For scenic beauty some go to the
historic Rhine, some to Alaska. some

personal acquaintance, maybe, but it
would be risky for him to extend the
limit of his statement 1t is freely
charged, indeed, that in what is called
the reading world of today the great

known when at all only by name, and
are buried under mass of trivialties.

GOES TO DINNER AND HAS THE
TIME or HER LIFE WITH
SPOONS AND FORKS.
Whether to Eat the To3thpck or tn
Cherry Was Problem Hard
For Her to Solve.
(By Ma'amselle Misft.)

Did you ever eat pie with a salad
fork? If you did you have the sym
pathy of nearly every society woman
and practically every man whose name
frequents the social page.
Forks and spoons are common
enough within themselves, but the
proper use of either at an afternoon
or evening function is perplexing
proposition. I shall never forget my
initial appearance at a "quiet" recep-
ton at one of the fashionable homes
of the city held in honor of Mrs. B
retiring president of the l. c. M. A.
social club
Watch the hostess a friend told
me.
And 1 did. This proved my undoing.
When the salad was served, the
hostess, being short of salad forks,
used some other implemant of war,
and so did l. My salad fork was on
the outside of the other tools beside
my place card, too, but 1 was deter
mined, despite my better judgment, to
follow instructions, SO I Waded into
the salad with q dessert spoon. kept
watching the hostess and also the
other guests; no one, save the hostess,
used the dessert spoon so here l broke
ranks and licked off all traces of the
salad from the misused article and
grabbed up the tool intended for the
purpose and sailed forth, feeling
somewhat relieved.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, July T.
The matter of the selection of sue

TARIFF AND THE SPECIAL TAX.

1t is a safe assertion that, in the
minds of many republicans, the tar
if revision ordered last November did
not include an income tax, an inherf-
lance tax or a corporation tax. The
proposition, pure and simple, was a
revision of the Dingley schedules, all
period of extreme business depression,
and some of which had now become
unWise and oppressive. What was de-
sired had reference to an adjustment
which would lower customs duties now
too high. In this way many articles
would be cheapened to consumers ana
revenues increased.
There had been in the campaign, 1t
is true, some talk about special taxes,
and the republican candidate had him
self participated in it. But no such
tax had been pledged outright by the
republicans. Had the house when it
met in extra session confined itself
to a revision of the Dingley law as it
piled strictly with the spirit of the
November victory.
But a special tax at once became
an issue. The president favored an
inheritance tax, and the house adopted
his view. With this new issue thrown
into the arena, the republican men,
bers of the senate finance committee
took a look around. They did not like
any form of special tax, and Mr.. AID
rich asserted that the house bill as
amended by the senate would, without
a special tax, yield all the revenue
needed But the president wanted a
special tax, and to meet the difficulty
raised in the senate as to an inheri-
special message took up the corpora
ton tax.
So stands the matter today Those
who wanted the schedules of the Ding
ley law revised so as TO equaIize bur-
dens and yield support to the govern
ment are disappointed. They did not
desire the situation to take it's pres
ent shape. They were opposed, and
are at heart now opposed to a special
tax in any form.
But a special tax is on the cards,
and the presidents latest decision
seems assured of adoption. To sug-
gest, as has been done, that the whole
thing is play for effect in conference,
and that the bill will lack both the
corporation tax and the provision for
submitting the income tax PROPOSE
ton to the decision of the states is a
hint that seems not amiss. Such a
result will bring the republican party
under the severest censure, and
tag it with the charge of double
dealing. The president cannot draw
back, and he has the final word. And
in very short time now that word
/ will be DUE

MISFIT'S MIX

1 felt all the time that the outside
implement was the proper one, but
then-the hostess. Some small voice
whispered "old sport you would better
lay low there is som ething else coming
on the bill of fare when you will need
your salad fork a blamed sight worse
than you do now"
However, after the change I got IN
swimmingly until punch was an
nounced. I had heard of Punch and
Judy" but I did not have the slightest
conception how either would serve for
a food or beverage and even when
saw what punch looked like I hardly
knew whether to tackle it or not, be-
ing a church member in good stand
ing, but as everybody else took punch
decided that it was either all right
for church people or 1 was in with a

Punch" 1 found was made of in
gredients-I did not know what they
were-but among other things I found
cherry, pierced through and through
with a toothpick.
I was then in a quandary whether to
eat the cherry or the toothpick. Real

nothing which had the slightest n
clination to stick to my teeth mucn
less my ribs. Finally 1 made way
with the punch, cherry and likewise

to be looking, slipped it into my hair
where it remained until I reached home.

success in the treatment Of nasal and
throat diseases, recommends a solu-
tion of water and vintoX. Get from
