not so promising. among the vegeta-
bles and minerals well worth further

latter a constitutional remedy had to
be found; one that would impregnate

The native Hindoo malcontents
continue to provide the viceregal
government Of India with an admin
istrative problem of the gravest Diff
ficulty. Lord Mimic, observes the
Philadelphia Ledges, has recently an
nounced that the lenient policy which
has permitted the circulation of Sc
ditious and infiammatory manifestoes
in the native press is to be discon-
tinued, and the publishers hereafter
are to be held severely accountable.
1t has just been ascertained during the
trial Of an alleged conspirator at La
nore that group Of fanatics had
been plotting to establish an inde-
pendent monarchy, with a king. a
council and a parliament. The highly
educated natives are precisely the
ones who are most ready to aid and
abet the ceaseless agitation against
India's geratest benefactors.

feet girl in the world The judges have
so declared, critics have agreed with
them, her mother thinks so and the lit

While the precious bit of bronze dan
giles prettily upon the young girls
bosom, il stirs no thought of vain pride
in her little head, nor does it give her
any inner or outward consciousness Of
her great beauty and perfection. In

ing more Of sliding down the grassy
slopes of her fathers ranch and picking
peaches from the burdened trees than
parading before the multitude as a
prize winning beauty.

Mrs Edwards, who is the superin-
tendent of instruction in physical
culture in the Vallejo schools, holds
her daughter up as a model of what
can be done by any willing mother in
the home. Every child can be made
perfect even if nature is tardy in de-
veloping, and. declares Mrs. Edwards,
tuberculosis or kindred diseases can
find no foothold in the system of the

As to the aim of art, this mother
believes it consists in the manifesto
tion of beauty, and nowhere can it
be better expressed than in the per-
fectly developed limbs and torso of the
young female. This is not altogether
estheticism. Mrs. Edwards theory is
based upon something more than
beauty for beauty's sake: beauty and
goodness are Synonymous with her;
one can not show without the other.
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle held up
Goodness to shame Beauty and di-
rectly opposed any coincidence. vet
Mrs. Edwards has ideas of her own
and says one can not be without the
other Evidently leaning upon the
theory that beauty begets kindness as
does goodness, she says Marguerite is
unusually grateful for respectful at
tention, and seems to think every
glance cast in her direction or every
advance made to her by strangers is
but a gentle manifestation of their
kindness. She sees no evil in the
world and remains truly wonder
of the present age.

WHY THE OLEO TAX SHOULD NOT
BE REPEALED.
The Southern Farmers Great Inter-
est i'm the Dairy Industry-Why
Not Sell Oleo for What IL Is?

Not Sell Oleo for What 1t Is?
Messrs. Editors: If the law taxing
colored oleomargarine is repealed, it
will prove a stunning blow to every
farmer who keeps but small dairy
heard. There can be no great pros
perity to the Southern farmer who
tries to farm without live stock. The
South Is just waking up to this fact
and small dairies are springing up
all over the South. There Is no sec
ton OF the country better adapted to
dairying than the South, and there
should be no antagonism between
the cotton oil man and the dairy
man. The cow has already made a
price has advanced $40 per ton in the
last few years.
Oleo comes from the packing
houses as by-product. It's natural
color being white. it was colored to
| resemble butter. and was sold as but
ter for years. Thousands OF people
bought oleo, thinking they were get
ting butter. Naturally the low price
at which cleo could be sold, together
with the deception OF many people,
was forcing real butter from the mar
ket. and the dairy industry was suf-
fering great loss. At this time the
United States Government stepped
in and relieved the situation by tax
| ing the manufacturers of artificial
butter one-Quarter cent per pound on
the uncolored and 10 cents per pound
on that colored like butter. This tax
has a two-fold purpose.
IL protects the consumer from be-
ing imposed upon, that is paying for
butter and getting cleo. 1t also pro-
tects the dairymen from dishonest
competition that was running their
business. This tax is not, and never
was. for the purpose OF raising reve-
nue., but 1t is stated that the tax
should be lowered, as the high rate
OF taxation makes the sale Of colored
oleo Improbable and cuts down the
revenue from this source. No objec-
ton is offered to the tax on uncolored
oleo. and there Is the niger in the
woodpile." II the cleo interests real
ly want to give oleo "a square DEAL"
why do they not pay the small tax
rate OF one-quarter cent per pound
and save the extra 90 cents? Sure
ly white oleo is just as good to eat
as the colored article.
To prevent any enactment that will
lower this just rate of taxation on
oleo, farmers and dairymen every
where should write their Congress-
men briefly exposing this trick that
the oleo manufacturers are trying to
play.
Let the COW alone and she will eat
al the cottonseed meal and bulls
made in the South and so enrich the
soil that two bales of cotton can be
;rown where only one was grown be-
tore.
