According TO John T. Mercy, president

nary increase in the cost OF debt service
TO New York City in the next four years,
due principally. he says, to the fact that

stead Of being assessed upon the land
that is 10 be benefited. will be paid for
by the city as a whole. Mr.. Mercy pre-
diets that the burden will fall heaviest on
industry.
81 am advised that several large manu-
featuring plants are considering invita-
tons to move to sites outside the city on
account OF high rents. high taxes and
cost of land" Mr.. Mercy said
'In view OF the fact that the Legis-
lature has greatly increased the cost OF
doing business by increasing the profits
OF land owners so that New York is the
paradise OF real estate spectators,
maintain that the tax rate on buildings
should be gradually reduced TO half that
on land. and thus give relief TO legiti-
mate business. IT would recover more
OF tho annual ground rentals the natu-
raj source OF revenue for running the

Scents From the Garden.

This Is the time to make potpourri-
| that is to say. If You live where there are
| roses Early each morning go into the
garden and gather the flowers full blown,
covered with dew and just ready to begin
| to fall Pull the leaves apart and spread
| them on towel or sheet or a big table
| in an attic or unused soon where they
can be left undisturbed until they are dry.
| Add more roses from day to day until
you have all you want: Turn them, II the
weather Is damp, that they will not
| mildew and keep the air about them fresh
and circulating. When they are dry put
them in wide mouthed fruit jar--the
pint size is easiest to handle-in LAYERS
half an inch thick. with salt sprinkled
between. Stir them each morning for ten
or twelve days and then begin to add
spices and oils
The kinds of spices and oils added are
optional. A tried recipe calls for a quar-
ter Of an ounce of ground cloves, the
same amount of both allspce and cinna-
mon. an eighth OF an ounce of mace and
the same amount of dried lavender flow
ers. The lavender may be omitted if its
odor is not found agreeable. Add also
quarter of nutmeg, grated. Now begin
to fill the rose JAR putting first a layer of
OIleU ana Sdlled rose leaNeS, lnen a
sprinkling of spices, then. few drops Of
oil-oil Of orange flower. rose, bitter al
mond or any other oil will do-and SO on
until the Jar is full When it is full pour
half an ounce of cologne over it to bring
it's parts into harmony.
Powder can be scented with fresh flow
ers Mix the powder-pure rice powder
and orris root make good combination
and put it in a bowl. Thrust fresh bios
SONS, highly scented, into the powder,
cover the bowl with a plate, put more
blossoms in every day and at the end of
week remove the blossoms, straining
the powder through a wire sieve or a
piece of coarse cheesecloth to do so.
Roses. violets, Glove pinks. tuberoses or
any other strongly scented flowers can be
used to scent powder.
Several dried leaves can be used for
sachet and will be found to have a more
interesting and at the same time more
bought in the shops. Lemon verbena
so can rose ,geranium leaves The leaves
should be picked when fresh and green
and Immediately placed in linen sheets,
bureau drawers, handkerchief or glove
box or wherever the scent is wanted.
Any one who likes the scent of laven-
der will enjoy having lavender bush
growing in the garden. The flowers should
be picked blooming and laid away to
dry.

The New Kind of Glove.

It is not possible to go out in the aft

Of short sleeve and not wear the long
gloves which the manufacturers have in
vented to meet the occasion. These are
thirty-f1ve buttons in, length, and even
longer, and they are wrinkled from wrist
to shoulder and cover all the arm.
The effect is not pretty unless one
wears a white or light gown, in which
case the long expanse of white kid on the
arm is not decided contrast; but when
one wears gown of any ordinary color.
and especially of black, the white or buff
sleeve is too conspicuous for beauty.
Yet what is one going to do if one in

A DAILY HINT TO
WORKING GIRLS
How to Rest the Feet.

/ get a number of letters each week
from girls who work in stores or other
places where they are kept most Of
the time on their feet, asking what they
can do to save their feet and legs from
swelling and pain.
1t is a problem difficult to solve, be-
cause the best thing is, OF course, to stop
standing, and that they can't do unless
there is some nice job at sitting down
waiting to be enjoyed.
Yet there are little things that will help
tremendously, particularly as preventives.
or before the trouble Is severe. When it
is very bad elastic stockings must be
worn, or varicose veins will result.
In the first place, remember what I
said before, and don't wear high-heeled
shoes if you must spend lot of time on
your feet. Get pair OF broad, low
heeled. easy shoes. and take them with
you to your place of business. if you pre-
fer not to wear them in the street. They
will last a long while If you keep them
for your work alone, and are an excellent
investment.
Then, when you reach home, battle
your feet and legs as far as the knees
in really hot water, rubbing them with
a circular upward nOtlOn anu HldSSdSlHS
the toes and soles of the feet thoroughly.
Have ready another bowl filled with cold
water in which you have dissolved a
handful of common kitchen salt. and
transfer your feet into that, rubbing them
some more, till they fairly glow. Dry
thoroughly. dust with talcum powder and
put on pair of fresh stockings.
The next thing to do is to take walk.
1t may seem to you that it would be
better to sit still and rest them, but this
is not so effective: walking relieves the
strain on the muscles that have been
oyertaxed, and restores q normal circu-
latiOn.
Simple care of this kind will do won
