THE BANANA DUTY

The trainers of the tariff bill pro
pose to place a duty of one-'ehlh oi
a cent a pound on hanans. AS All our
are imported a duty on them
would be a revenue duty, pure ana
simple. And the people who eat ban
anas would pay it-all of ii. One-tenth
of a cent Is not much. Neither is a
pound of bananas much. But "heh
we consider the number of bananas
used, the returns from such "A lax
would he considerable. And h eat
ers @ fthe fruit would pay, not only
the tax, but something more.
The tax would form a part of the
cost of the fruit to the importer. He
would need to make a profit, not only
on the first cost of the fruit, but on
tho tax which would form part OF his
investment. The jobber who buys
from him must make his profit on first
cost, tax and importers profit. because
ali these things are included in the
cost of the jobber. So with the re-
taller. The consumer would therefore
find himself loaded up with the tax
and three or four profits on that tax.
And we need not doubt that good
measure would be taken in each case.
The duty is to be taken off sugar
by easy stages Most of us approve
of that, because we hope it will have
q tendency to make sugar cheaper to
the masses. The imposition of a tax
on bananas will tend to make bananas
dearer to all who use them, and the
banana seems to be-, more than any
other single thing, the fruit of the
plain people.
There are conditions in the banana
trade which make the tax seem I'LL
advised. Much of the fruit that m
to our shores reached III ports so
ripe THAI it is necessary to dispose OF
it Immediately for whatever it will
bring. That fruit is sold on the
streets of the great cities at pheno-
menally low prices. The imposition
of an import duty which would aver
age about five cents a bunch would
hit this trade hard, and would make
a vast difference in the consumption
of a food article which is of immense
value, and which is used more than
any other n fruit by poor people.

ONE HIGHLY CREDITABLE AP-
POINTMENT.

New York Times: There will be no
great excitement over the appointment
of a new head for the weather bu-
reau. Fol- some mysterious reason,
an minimizing and uninstructed-and
therefore very large-part of the pub
lie has always refused to take that bu-
reau and its activities seriously. ana
has laboriously maintained, in contra
diction to reason and evidence, the be-
lief, apparently much enjoyed by
those entertaining it. that the official
forecasts. as they put it, ARE always
wrong"
That statement. which magniticently
combines the qualities of pithecism
and psittacism, one can hear any day
from people otherwise fairly intelli-
gent n yet the weather. is about
the first thing read by those same
people when they take up their paper.
and they all know in their hearts that
the warnings and the promises there
given. while not infallible, are about
the most trustworthy form Of proph-
ecy accessible to mau-nowadays.
anyhow. And they are trusted, as
they deserve to be, even by the scorn-
ers, while those who have, dependent
upon weather vagaries, interests larger
than that Of keeping their new straw
hats from getting wet, long ago came
to realize the enormous, almost in
c~aiculable, value of the bureaus serv-
ice and the dreadful calamity it would
be il politics were to replace science
in its conduct.
That calamity has not occurred.
The new chief. Professor Charles F.
Marvin, is a meteorological of long ex
p%erience and recognized eminence, be-
ing equally we'll known to the in
terested few as an inventor of instru.

To Absorb Freckles
and Other Blemishes

Every spring one receives many
letters from girls seeking some re-
liable. recipe for removing freck1es.
Last year many tried mercolized
wax. Such favorable results were
reported that this season nothing
else is recommended for the pur-
pose. The wax seems to possess
unusual properties which COM
pletely absorb every freckle, with
no harmful effect. The complexion
improves wonderfully, becoming as
3 soft as a rose petal, and as deli
cately tinted.
Get an ounce of mercolized wax
at any druggist, spread a thin layer
of 1T over the entire face every
night for q while, washing this off
in the morning. For rough, red
skin, sallowness, blackkheads, pim-
pies, and all cutaneous blemishes,
this treatment is superior to any
that has ever come under my OBJ
servation.
Springtime also brings wrinkles
to many sensitive skins that are
much exposed to winds and chang
ing temperatures. Pour a half pint
witch hazel into a basin. then an
ounce of powdered saxolite, which
quickly dissolves. Battle the face
In this: the effect on q wrinkled
skin Is remarkable.

To Godfrey O'Hara, a New

this task. He has just begun his
work by taking monograph rec

our Indian schools does not ap-

of their race. In recording their
music on photograph | will not

sing. Song to them is a natural
expression of the various occa-
sions of life-the utterance they
give to their religious emotions.
Every act of their daily life Is in
terpreted in song. Their music is
a mosaic of all the passions, the
doings, the striyings OF their ma
