STYLISH TAX DODGERS
MAY YET BE CAUGHT

CHICAGO, July Social leaders who
have been conspicuous for dress and
jewelry displayed at the grand opera and
other public functions may have to en-
rich the county treasury materially If
plans OF the board OF review materialize,
Summonscs Will be issued for their ap-
pearance before the board of review to
show cause why they should not be as
sesscd on the gowns diamond tiaraS,
pearl dog collars and necklaces that
they are known to wear at balls and
festivals.
The reviewers have discovered a unique
method OF ferreting out the personal
property of some of the wealthy social
leaders now taxed nominal sums. Their
method Is to read carefully the news
In the society columns and to file It away
for future reference, or until taxing time
comes, then II comes in handy in rails
ing personal assessments.

EPIsTLEs TO Be KEPT SECRET
Court Rules That Lawyers in Murder
Defense May Not See Them
n Preliminary Hearing Post
poned for Grand Jury.

Kansas City.-John G. Paxton, in
al answer filed in the circuit court
at independence, Mo-, accused DR..
B. G. Hyde of bad faith in try
ing to get evidence in Paxton's pos
session. Paxton described this evil
dence as tending to prove that the
plaintiff has murdered by the admin
istration of poison, Thomas H. Swope
and Chrisman Swope. He has also at
tempted to poison Margaret Swope,
and by the same kind of treatment had
communicated to the members of the
Swope family typhoid fever"
This was the first time that DR..
Hyde had been openly mentioned in
connection with a communicating OF
typhoid fever to the Swope family.
Paxton's amended answer was filed
in connection with a motion filed by
DR.. Hyde's attorneys to compel Pax
ton to include in his deposition in a
civil suit, letters or other communica-
tons he had received from DR.. Lud-
wig Hekeoen of Chicago. After hear
ing the arguments in the case, the
court overruled the motion filed by DR..
Hyde's attorneys.
The taxing Sfldepositions in Attor-
ney WaIsh's office in Kansas City was
continued to the afternoon on account
of the death of Mrs. Yates, wife OF
one of the members of the Reed f1rm
of lawyers.
When the Ease of DR.. Hyde, charged
with the murder of Col. Thomas H.
Swope, was called in Justice Loar's
court at Independence for the prelim-
mary hearing, "a. continuance was
taken by Prosecuting Attorney Conk-
ling for one week, on account of the
grand jury being in session here.
If the grand jury has. not concluded
its inquiry next week, another continu-
ance will be taken. If an indictment
is returned DR.. Hyde will be re-arrest.
ed under that and the proceeding at
Independence will be dismissed.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fled and beautifed, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, feelings,
limitations and chatings ~dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure, SO
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston, for their free
32-page Cuticura Book telling all about
the car and treatment of the skin.

How often do you eat this foodG

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of n of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. IS

IRRIGATION PROJECT
Settlers Are Deprived of Water ls the
Statement Made by Senator
Carter in Senate.

Washington, D. C.-For more than
two hours Thursday the Senate
listened to a discussion of the senate
bill authorizing the issuance of $780,
100000 worth of certificates Of indebt-
edness for the completion Of irrigation
projects already begun.
The measure was championed by a
number Of senators, especially Messrs.
Carter and Borah. Mr.. Carter said
that in a number of cases reservoirs
had been completed while the bitches
had not been constructed, thus provid-
ing for the storage, but not for the dis
tribution of water. The effect was to
withhold the water from settlers.

WANT PROOF FROM PEARY
Congressman Apt to Require World
Exhibit Of Peary Records Before
Award of Medal.

Washington, d. C.-Members of
the House may demand that Robert E.
Peary exhibit his proofs to the world
in general before voting him a gold
medal and the thanks of congress. 1t
was learned that the naval committee
was not entirely unanimous on the
proposition to bestow honors upon the
~discoverer of the pole.
One of the leaders, who declined to
allow the use OF his name, said that
he was opposed to accepting the
proofs of Mr.. Peary that he discov-
cred the pole merely because the Ma
tional Geographical society had ac-
cepted them. He charged a precon-
ceived prejudice in favor of Peary on
the part of the society.
Several members have expressed op-
position to the proposed Peary honors,
and one or two have threatened to dis
cuss vigorously the matter on the floor
If it is brought up there.
