limb" or leg. What will de-
velop my hips, and neck How
many times should a person eat a
day? What will make my eyelash-
Ies long and thick? And what is
good for chapped lips? JOY.
Ans.-Use Benzine on the gum.
If it does not remove 1t, try ether.
1t depends on whether you are
speaking of a tree or person;
limb for a tree, leg for a person.
Develope the hips by walking; the
neck by massage. Eat when you
are hungry, use vaseline on the
eye lashes, and cold cream on the
lips.

"A LIVING IDEA"

The St. Louis Globe Democrat. a
| high protection paper and defender
Of the Payne Aldrich tariff law, speak
ing Of Canadian reciprocity. says that
the passage of a reciprocity bill by the
house puts permanently upon the
map Of American policies the principle
OF closer trade relations between the
two great English speaking nations Of
the continent and in so doing il writes
The name OF Taft LUMINOSITY upon our
historical record. Reciprocity is here
to stay. II is a living idea and il can
not be smothered no matter what con-
gressionaI combination there may be
against IT,"
II is worthy of note that an advo-
cate Of protection, so ardent as the
Globe democrat. a defender of the new
tariff law, should indorse so highly the
policy Of reciprocity and the action Of
the president in tearing down the bar
rlers to freer trade between the two
great English speaking nations of the
North American continent. What is
here said of President Taft indicates
grasp of the subject akin TO that
which has dgnihed and strengthened
the presidents advocacy Of this policy
from the beginning. Freer trade be-
tween Canada and the United States is
a living idea" The defeat Of reci-
procity at this time would undoubtedly
smother ii for many years TO come.
and probably lead TO a British prefer
ence in favor of Canada and against
the United States but the two great
English speaking nations Of this con-
tinent will not permanently submit to
the interposition Of artificial obstacles
in the way Of the intercourse; the nat
ural order Of things will ultimately
prevail, although it may not be and
probably will not be for many years
to come, IL ii is not adopted now.

CONGRESS NOW FOR DIRECT
SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

Very little doubt can now survive as
TO the triumph of this session of Con-
gress Of the proposal for direct election
Of senator's. The House has passed
the resolution paving the way TO the
necessary constitutional amendment.
1t has been reported favorably by the
Senate committee on judiciary and
heads the calendar. with the vigorous
pressure that will be put behind it,
there can be little uncertainty that it
will get a vote at am early date.
In the last session the resolution
failed by a very small margin Of the
two-thirds vote necessary to carry il
through the Senate.
Two things give ground for the ex-
pectation that it will pass at this ses-
sion. First comes the change I'm the
Senate personnel. The striking change
in membership on the Republican side
has removed from the Senate a long
list Of the men who voted against the
resolution. and put in their places ell
Their progressive Republicans or DEM
ocrats who will support IL. Second,
the Lorimer scandal has so riveted
the attention Of the country and fixed
its determination TO have this reform,
that it will require more hardihood
than most senator's possess TO vote
against the measure.
Evil from which good results is not
evil unmixed. The Lorimer case Is
in point. The national sense of de-
cency needed just such a shock as has
been administered by this revelation
.of the debauchery Of a whole state
tho cynical betrayal OF the people, and
the cool substitution of big business
for their will as the determining factor
In designating a senator.
The senator from Illinois will have
rendered a useful service. however un-
willingly and unwlttingly.

Miclss s New Mortgage
Tax Law
Tax Law

The new method for taxing mort
cages in Michigan which is to result
from the passage of the Fowle bill by
the recent session of the legislature
bids fair TO meet with very general
approval Furthermore, IT seems fair
To say that the change proposed will
be of everlasting advantage to all of
the people of the commonwealth.
AS is very generally known, the
present system Of applying the regular
state tax rate TO the face of all record
ed mortgages, is to give way to a spe-
.cihc filing fee which is to be paid
once when the mortgage is made a
matter of record.
For years our former method of tax
ing mortgages has been subjected TO
bitterest arraignment. II has been
properly said that probably only a
small percentage of mortgage papers
actually in existence have been really
filed within the state. II is probably
true that the old mortgage tax law
has put a premium on tax lodging and
citizens who have been perfectly will
ing to justify their refusal to file their
mortgages on the theory that the
mortgage tax methods were too unfair
and improper to deserve recognition.
The last available data regarding
Michigan mortgages comes in the re-
port of the state tax commission for
1907 and 1908 which is their last pub
LEGATION. From this it appears that
the amount derived to the state for the
year 1907 from mortgages was $746,-
923. The same year the report shows
the total of mortgages recorded for
the year 10 be 500 S3S, 491-of which,
under the new law, $3,4S5,5 500 would be
exempt. A recording tax of so cents
on the hundred dollars of the remain
der would yield but $4S7, 26495.
1t is TO be plainly seen that If this
were to be all there is to the estimate,
the new law will fall short of produc-
ing the revenue derived from the old.
But this is not all.
Not only is il expected that the new
law will result i'm the recording of
practically all mortgage papers made
in the future, but IL is also expected
that the new law will greatey stimu-
late mortgage loans so that the total
will be greatly in excess Of the figures
be proportionately greater. In our
