IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Exclamation Of the Differences Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard Of young married
women Of today and those OF the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following Is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
MEANS they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill.
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals IN
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons: in short. every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made It easier for her by
doing likewise"

Why He Couldn't Sit Down.


Harry, aged six, Is an orphan; Dut
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care OF MIN.
The first pair Of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and 1t was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement Of knickerbockers'
and there was a suspicious fullness IN
front and an equally mystifying tight
hess in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down"
Grandma, I can't. My pants is chok'
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder Of the service.

a T1old-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, IN ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
of Chicago, charged that there is In existence q
coffee combine which IS 'the most monstsous I'M
position in the history Of human commerce"
There is very slight exaggerstion about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is 8 coffee combine IN Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by 1t, which com
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, Ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists" I y -
The worst thing about this is that the consum-
ers Of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury Of the United States
was diverted to the treasury Of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
"valorization'' plan was evolved in Brazil
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in q season OF
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands OF the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian COZ
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from Us. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining a trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel Amer1san con:
sumers to pay an exorbitant price Tor the coIee
they use. What is the remedy!-Ssaas f"''4"'

THE ESTIMATE APPROPRIATION
FOR THE STATE GOVERNMENT
FOR THE YEAR.
HAVE ASKED FOR $2,554,514
This Amount Is Going to Be Cut
Down BY the Ways and Means Com
mittee.-Ths Taxes Amount TO
About $1,650,0o0.

Columbia.-The estimated appro-
priation for 1.-THE state government
for 1912 Is $2,554,514.62, as compared
with 81 1888, 26S.27 in 1911, according
to reports that have been filed with
Comptroller General Jones by the
heads of the various departments Of
the government, including the public
institutions. The estimate was pre-
pared by the comptroller general as
required by law, and will be sent to
the ways and means committee OF
the house. The income from the
state tax will approximate about $l,-
$50, 900, and this means that the estl-
mates will be trimmed down by near
ly $500, 900 by the ways and means
committee before the bill is sent to
the house and senate FOR considera-
ton. The statements prepared by
the comptroller general shows the
various amounts asked by each de-
partempt.
THE state revenue" says the
comptroller general, "for 1912 form
taxes, estimated and based upon the
present assessment of 87,132,O 900, at
a rate OF 5 34 mills on the dollar
would produce $1,651,000 To that
add the estimated income from
sources other than taxes Of S257,8O0,
and we have a total estimated reve-
nue. of s1,908,S 800.
1T will be thus seen that the ap-
preparations asked for exceed the es-
timated revenue of the state by $685.
7O6. O2, and if we make all these ap-
preparations it will be necessary to
increase the rate Of taxation. .,
in view of the prevailing low price
of cotton, the staple crop Of this
state, on which the great mass OF
taxpayers are either directly or in.
directly dependent, they will not be
able to stand an increased burden Of
taxation, such as would be necessary
to meet all the appropriations asked
for by the various state officers and
heads of state institutions.

show q falling off in sales during the last
two years Of over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from the

tremendous increase in the sale of Postum
in a like period of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that we'll

very likely due to q public awakening to

things found in a general hardware
store, and they have attracted scores of
spectators. The prices range from $3.50
to So, 900, 900, marked down for special
