with this capitalization the trust
owned and operated n number of sub
sldiary corporations and engaged In the
buying. manufacture, distribution and
sale OF tobacco and licorice products.
The courts held that the trust could
not, through one office. conduct tho
unified business.
HERE is THE PLAN FOR THE
"MoDEL" TOBACCO TRUST.
Here is how the Trust. In the petit
hon which It thinks the Government viii
accept, proposes to get around tho
trouble into which the Supreme Court
1.unged It:

never changing his position with refer

nor Its position with reference to him.
In Its last analysis the change seems
to be merely one of label. and the at
torneys who are working on tho plan
are curious to know what view the pub
lie will take OF tho plan. II In known
that there 10 no unity OF sentiment
among Government lawyers respecting
the question as to whether this model

DlD you ever think how many uses
the safety pin could be put to? Well
here are few out Of the ordinary
ways of employing this useful article.
Most women have washable waists
and skirts from which the buttons
have to be removed when they go to
their bath. and a safety pin will keep
them together and save the wild ex-
citement OF finding that last button

most exasperating moment Half a
dozen long. fine safety pins in the
workbasket threaded with buttons Of
various kinds. hooks and eyes and the
like Will save trips TO the button bag
and prevent nervous search when one
Is In a hurry.
Nothing win take the safety pins
place In the small travelling sewing re-
ceptacle. A small pin will take on all
the buttons one can possibly need for
an ordinary trip. and another will hold
together hooks and eyes that may be
required For the closet, especially in
travelling or visiting. a few safety pins

there are not tapes on the skirts-and

she was. Fuel bills may be consid-
erably lessened by using the furnace
for much of the family cooking. The
broad ledge or threshold OF the coal
door makes an excellent oven for the
quick baking of potatoes when the
thermometer In the living room above
