FREE PRINT PAPER.

Sioux City Journal: It may be all
right for the democratic tariff trainers
to impose a duty on the paper on
which newspapers are printed. In or
der to make such duty poular all the
democrats would have to do would be
to convince the newspapers that such q
duty is desirable. So far as has been
noted the impression prevails widely
among newspaper publishers that print
paper and wood pulp ought to come In
free Of duty.

The measure. consequently. has q
larger Importance than that Of mere

politics. Democratic leaders are con-
fident that business will suffer no I'M

benefited.

featured products.

have been transferred to the free list

been substantially rednced.
The income tax feature of the bill is

Practical Pillows

Nothing gives such an air of COM
fort to a room as a large. roomy
couch filled with clean, artistic pill
lows. and nothing is so much appre-
ciated by the men and boys of the
family as a place where they can
throw thepselves down for few
moments relaxation without the fear
Of soiling something.
1t is in these moments of relaxation
that we gather energy, and they are
very necessary to our welfare and
happiness.
The wash pillow cover is the only
practical thing for the living-room
and porch. Many housewives who
are extremely neat in every other
particular will have couch full of
shabby pillow covers which have been
in use for two or three years without
being cleansed. 1t is better to have
plain Bingham or linen covers than a
decorated one which cannot be laun-
dered.

that will make them forget the cares
of business for while each day.
Let the hobby be chickens, ducks,
pigeons or anything that will take
them into the fresh air and sunshine
away from the enervating atmosphere
of four walls and roof.
If your chickens disappear, watch
your cat and your neighbour cat,
and keep them off your premises, if
you have to plant" a few of them.
Cats do lots of mischief in the poul-
try yard that is blamed on rats. Rats
are bad enough, but cat with an
appetite for chicken will do more
damage than rats.
Don't cut off the head of the hen
that eats eggs.
Ask nine out of ten men you meet
what to do in such case and you
will get the answer Cut off her
head" But l will tell you a better
way. Give your birds an all-round
diet; then they will not want to eat
eggs. 1t is when they are on short
rations in some particular line, or
because they are not kept busy
enough that they get into this bad
habit. Balance up the rations then
give the birds something to busy
themselves with all the time, and
you will not have any need to bring
out the ak.

for chicken cholera, which they often
get after this rainy spring weather.
Take half white bour and half

but do not burn. Mix with just
enough milk to moisten and feed this
