Has 1t ever struck one what a num- ber of terms belonging to cuisine are applied to man under different circum- stances? Sometimes he is ''basted," he 'boils with rage," is ''baked" with heat and "burns'' with love or jeal- ousy. He is often "cut up," "deveur. ed" with a flame and t'done brown" We "dress'' his jacket for him. Some, tunes be is "enten up" with care, and occasionally he is fried" We cook his goose" for him, and often he makes a goose" of himself. We mabe shash' of him. and soetimes he makes a hash of something else. Ike gets iuto "hot water and sometimes into mess" is made into "minee meat" and is often in "pickle." We are oftest asked to ''toast' him. and he Is frequently put into a "stew' or is in s'stsw." no one knows why. A "soft" is "har baked" and one severe ly handled is well ''peppered.'

PROBATION TAX
 IS RESPONSIBLE
Many Companies Surrender Charters Rather Than Submit to Additional Burden of Taking Inventories Un-
 der Operation of Federal Law.

Little Rock, Ark, July 2.-Within the past week probably thirty cor porations have surrendered their charters and ceased to operate as corporations. This does not mean, however, that they have all ceased to them are going right along in busi- ness way.
 By surrendering their charters, however, they escape a double taxa tion, that of the state and the United States in the way of franchise tax.
 The striking fact also appears to be that most of them surrender because of the federal corporation law. Two of the largest corporations in near by county have given up their char ters frankly because they objected to the federal corporation law enacted by Congress recently and which re- quires not only franchise tax, but an accurate statement as to the busi- ness of the corporation.
 Very few corporations object to the state law. It is not rigid in the matter of statement, and allows the corporation to make report to the county clerk about the first of the year when most merchants have just taken their annual inventory.
 The federal law, however, comes on later in the year and practically ne- cessitates another inventory. Here is where the merchant balks. One prom inent merchant "sized up" the situa- tion by declaring that it was easier to operate as a partnership than to spend two weeks during the summer taking an inventory in order to com ply with the new national corporation law. Hence he gave up his company's charter.
 The amount collected in the state by the federal government from this source this year will be over half the amount collected by the state itself from the same source.

Plenty of Them in Pine Blum, ana
 Good Reason fer it.
 Wouldn't any woman be happy,

 Days of misery, nights of unrest,

 No reason why any Pine Bluff read
 Should suffer in the face of evidence like this.
 Mrs. Charles Sylvester, 1102 West Fourth avenue, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: I suffered for several years from kid ney trouble and was caused much an- noyance by too frequent passages of the kidney secretions. I also had a severe pain in my back and hips, was bothered by headaches and dizzy spells and could not sleep well. I finally heard of Doans Kidney Pills, pro- cured supply from the Mann-Tan- kersley Drug Co.,, and began using them. By the time I had taken the contents of four boxes, I was in good health. I occasionally use box of Deans Kidney Pills, finding that they keep my kidneys in normal condi- tion."
