ALL AROUND
Gleanings of Interest From
our Exchanges and Elsewhere.

Few housewives use waste paper as
thrifty as they might. In olden
times it was artfully rolled up into
firelighters, but matches did away
with that. Now its principal use is
for kindling. 1t might serve hun
dred other purposes. Nothing cleans
a spider or grease so well as an old
newspaper. Laid over ones knees it
keeps out the wind on drive better
than any blanket. Paper quilts are
warmer than down. And yet we burn
this precious material.-Portland
Oregonian.
Quite evidently it hurts the Ore
gonion's feelings to work hard all
day to make a newspaper only to see
it used for kindling fire hours later.

Although they themselves are re-
sponsible for the new income tax law,
under which taxes are assessed begin
ming March l, 1913, Senators and
Representatives are jubilant today
over a ruling which exempts them
from having their salaries taxed be-
fore next May at least. While most
folks subject to the tax are "pony-
ing up" for the ten months of 1913
and all of this year, the congressman
are immune from the new tax for
months to come. Bachelors of Con-

Summer Constipation Dangerous.

: Constipation in summer time is
more dangerous than in the fall,
winter or spring. The food you eat
is often contaminated and is more
likely to ferment in your stomach.
Then you are apt to drink much cold
water during the hot weather, thus
injuring your stomach. Collie, fever,
ptomaine poisoning and other ills
are natural results. Po-Do-Lax will
keep you well, as it increases the bile,
the natural laxative, which rids the
bowels of the congested poisonous
waste. Po-Do-Lax will make you feel
better. Pleasant and effective. Take
a dose tonight. soc at your drug
gist's.

many of the ungainly and formless

quite refreshing to run athwart a
show with a unity and uniformity,
with a plot basis of some strength
and with occasional thrills
The chorus too, is not obtrusiVe; IL
is small. and a monotonous note in
its costuming is not what the Adele
herads led us to believe But the
chorus is discreet and discerning APP
pearins only when in the logical order
of events it should appear, and re-
firing without a meaningless furry
of heels and lingerie.
The charm Of Adele however is
none Of these. but is its music There
has been no other such wealth of at
traCtive melody attractively purveyed
in Atlanta this season. OF the eight
cen numbers there is no one that is
lacking in its charm.
