Charlotte Russo.

This is a most delicate and delicious
dessert and one that will be liked by
whoever tries it.
Run a little clear jelly into the top
of a plain round or oval mold and lay
i'll some small pieces of fruits of va
rious kinds, such as glace cherries,
half apricots, sliced bananas. Allow it
to set, then line the sides with lady
fingers, cut straight at the edges, press
well together, then fill with the fol-
lowing: Whisk up half pint of cream
to stiff froth and three ounces of
powdered white sugar, the Juice of a
half lemon, three ounces of raspberry
jam rubbed through hair sieve to ex-
tract the seeds or any fruit and half
an ounce of isinglass dissolved in a
tablespoonful of boiling water. When
the charlotte is required for table dip
the top of the mold into warm water
for a few seconds, wipe dry with a
cloth and turn the mold on a glass or
silver dish.

Cane Cod Stew.

Fry five slices of salt pork that have
been cut in strips until crisp. Cut two
pounds of beef into large cubes and
brown in the fat after having taken
out the scraps. Put all into a kettle
and cover with boiling water. Cook
gently two hours, then add parsnips
scraped and cut in halves. turnips cut
in round slices and when nearly done
white and sweet potatoes whole or cut
in halves if large. When the potatoes
are almost done lay dumpllngs round

will touch them. Cover closely and
cook fifteen minutes without lifting
the cover. Put the meat in the center
of a platter, the vegetables in a border
round it and the dump'ings on the
outside Thicken the gravy, cook five
minutes and pour over the meat.

Adoption Likely Next Year.

1t is probable that the income tax
amendment will be adopted not Later
than 1912. In letter just received
from the Office of Senator Brown, the
author of the measure, and written al
his direction, he confirms the list OF
thirty states that have already ratified
and adds, New Hampshire, Vermont
Rhode Island, Delaware, West Virginia
and Utah ON account of biennial elec
tions or other reasons are unlikely tc
ratify before the 1918 legislative ses
sions." This leaves ten states thai
may ratify in 1911 or 1912, or twice the
number necessary.

When vegetables and fruit are pared
the hands are generally left stained.
To take this out rub over with a cut
lemon or wash the places with a little
vinegar. Deep stains can be taken off
with pumice stone. Wash in weak
suds and rinse and wipe dry, with an
emphasis on the necessity Of drying
the skin well, for this will keep away
roughness and chaps.

To Wash White Skirts.

In making white underskirts, if one
wishes to wear them before washing
and ironing, dip ruffie in cold starch
and let stay ten minutes, then iron.
They win not be so hard to wash when
soiled as they would be without any
starch. On wash day put a table
spoonful of turpentine In boiler, also

~% HE income tax amendment IL
FL not yet a part of the Conetitu.
H ton of the United States, al
though the prospects are
bright for its ultimate adoption. In
the two years since congress submitted
1t to the states for ratification thirty
states have approved, FIVE short of the
number required. Six weeks ago the
advocates of the measure believed the
five states needed would ratify the
amendment this year. but that now
seems doubtful. The New Jersey sen.
ate failed to adopt 1t and has adjourn
ed. In Florida it has been held up in
one house. with adverse action feared.
This leaves New York, Massachusetts
and Minnesota as practically the only
states in which favorable action can
be expected this year. Even if ali
three should approve there would still
be two short of the required three
fourths. Next winter there will meet
several legislatures that only assemble
biennially. and out of these the needed
votes will almost certainly come. In
the meantime the recipients of bloated
incomes will escape the threatened tax.
1t should be explained that when this
amendment does pass it merely enables
congress to enact an income tax. III
other words. it will make it impossible
for the supreme court to declare an
income tax law unconstitutional. 1t
will place the country exactly where
it was before one supreme court JUS
tice changed his mind overnight and
Joined in > to decision multiplying
n former income tax law. That was
more than fifteen years ago, and it is
certain that a vast majority of the
American people have been in favor
of an income tax during all that time.
1t takes this people a long while to
get what they go after, but they finally
arrive.

should be taxed, as failure so to do
would result in creating a privileged
class. Taxation of such incomes
would not injuriously affect the rela
tive value of these bonds, since all
other securities would be equally
taxed
Nevertheless the Hughes special
message had the effect of defeating
the amendment in New York state
and doubtless influenced the result
elsewhere. The New York senate of
1910 passed the amendment by one
vote. but the assembly defeated it by
two votes. This year it has passed
the senate by about two to one and
has every prospect of going through
the assembly by a like decisive ma.
jority.
Governor Dix For It.
Governor Dix has taken as pro.
nounced a stand in favor of the pro.
posed amendment as did his predeces.
sor against it. In letters to Speaker
Frisbie of the assembly and Mayor
Gaynor of New York city he said in
effect that failure to pass the measure
would be Reputation of Democratic
promises and would spell party dis
honor; that the contention that the
Democratic state platform indorsed
"an" amendment and not the
amendment pending was a miserable
quibble, since everybody understood
the Endorsement to apply to the
amendment now before the states for
ratification; that the clause from
whatever source derived was entire.
ly just, since it would be only equita.
BILE to tax all incomes alike, and that
the argument that the amendment
would interfere with the rights of the
states to impose an income tax was
not made in good faith, since few
states had imposed such tax or would
do so, thus creating a situation that
was inequitable and impractical
Governor Harmon of Ohio also sup
ports the amendment vigorously, as
does Governor Woodrow Wilson Of
ing the assembly in his state pass it
The advocacy of the measure is by NJ
means partisan, however. When +
passed congress President Taft gave i
his warm Endorsement, as had Theo
dore Roosevelt before him. One of the
strongest arguments in favor of tht
tax was made by Senator Elihu Roo
Of New York. Root argued that, what
ever the language of the amendment
state and municipal bonds would no
be taxed.

Some of the Arguments.

Some of the most vigorous argu
ments in favor Of the measure were
made in the recent hearing given by a
committee of the New York assembly.
Among those who appeared in behalf
of the amendment were w. r. Hearst
and Professor Edwin r. A. Seligman
of Columbia university. Professor Sc.
ligman did not mince words. He said
that if any of his students should urge
the chief argument of the opponents
of the measure-viz. that the proposed
tax would depreciate state and munici
pal bonds-he would "funk" him. The
press interpreted this as an attack on
former Governor Hughes, who is now
a justice of the United States supreme
court. Professor Seligman in a signed
letter said he meant no reflection or
Justice Hughes, who had never made
this ridiculous argument, but that his
criticism was directed at those who
shielded themselves under Hughes
great reputation. When asked what
John D. Rockefeller now pays toward
the support of the national govern
ment Professor Seligman said, refer
ring to the internal revenue tax: "Well
he doesn't smoke. If he drinks at all il
is only a glass of beer. He pays very
little toward the national funds" Will
an income tax Rockefeller would have
to give his share to the support of the
government under which he has made
his millions

First Income Tax.

The income tax was first adopted in
England in 1899. Those who had the
money raised as big a roar about that
as their kind over here do now. As
IA consequence the law was repealed
two or three years later, but was soon
re-enacted in a different form. This
time it stuck, there being no court
in England, supreme or otherwise, that
dares override the acts of parliament.
About the middle of the century tliF
law was strengthened At present the
British government, so far as practicn-
BILE, takes the tax out of the income
before it reaches the hands of the
recipient, experience having proved
that taxpayers honesty and patrio-.
ism do not necessarily increase in di-
rect ratio to the size of his income.
Frankly, the officials had various kinds
of trouble in collecting the tax. being
met with all the forms of evasion from
cOncealment to plain lying. If there
