Just in the Same Old Line.

The European war and the conse-
quent stoppage of exports from
Europe have cut tremendously into
imports into the United States.
Therefore our collections of import
duties have fallen off to such an
extent that Uncle Sans revenues
are cut short about one hundred
million dollars. 1t is proposed to
collect this sum by placing an addi-
tional tax of SOC barrel on beer
and by levying other extra taxes on
luxuries. This unexpected and un-
proven table situation is being glee-
fully handled by a few standpat
newspapers with the aim of BEAM
ing the new tariff law with the re-
suit of the European war. All of
which is in line with the old claim
of the same crowd that good crop
price were the work of a Republi-
can administration. -Linneus Bulle-

Middle Age and Contentment

1t is really the wisest thing to make
the best of what we cannot help. IL
there is no use in fighting against
principalities and powers, why not
give in with as good grace as posi-
BILE and reap what little reward we
can for our submission.
Now this thought is not prompted
by reading the war news in the pa
pers. but rather by hearing a remark
made by a spinster, who, realizing
that she was no longer young, sensi-
bly, looked that fact straight In the
face and said: "Well, 1t is comfort
to have arrived at last at that period
of life where | may begin with clear
conscience 70 enjoy myself, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.

To Preserve Historic Church

A board of architects which has
been considering the preservation or
st. Pauls Cathedral, London, is dis
cussing a remarkable scheme. The
idea is the immersion of the founda-
lions in a huge tank of moist earth.
Expert builders have found that tho
sand and gravel in which the cathe-
dral foundations stand have become
parched and unstable, and, owing to
the plateau formation on the summit
of which the foundations rest, there
Is a tendency for the foundations to
spread. Until recently the gravel ON
which ST. Paurs is poised has BEEN
bound together by the natural mois-
ture filtering through from the SUR
face, contributing to the stability of
the edifice.
The paving In the enclosures, the
substitution of concrete for kidney
pebble road and the surface drainage
system have deprived the rubsoil of
this necessary moisture. Other cases
are cited in the London district where
similar injury has been caused to
buildings by the drainage of the soil
I'm which the foundations are buried.
To preserve st. PauPs 1t is proposed
to rewater the subsoil and thereby set
up a new cohesive action among the
particles. A vast container would
have to be constructed below the sur
face. Those proposing the scheme
suggest that the London blue clay
should be used as the flooring, with a
ferro- concrete enclosure. This con-
tainer would isolate the whole of the
cathedral site and into 1t would be
poured water. at intervals through
perforated pipes, sunk vertically into
the subsoil.-Public Ledger.

Worse to Come

The regular trombone player OF a
Scottish orchestra was laid up with a
cold, and the conductor reluctantly
accepted the services of brass band
amateur. He was a little doubtful,
however, as to the suitability of his
substitute.
After the first performance the new
player asked the conductor how he
had done.
The conductor replied that he had
done pretty fairly, but that perhaps
he would do better next night.
The newcomer, cycling him CRATE
fully, answered:

shair OF yet, but you wait tae the
morn's NIGHT, an yen no hear ane o

Every woman Is more or less par
ticular about her footgear. If she has
small feet she Is usually proud of
them, and you will find her very par
ticular as to their clothing. II her
feet are large that is all the more
reason she should be particular.
Conference.-The average woman
suffers.
To begin with no woman should at
tempt to wear pumps all summer
without a change now and then to
high shoes or straight oxfords. This
change will rest the muscles of the
instep and relieve the strain on the
arch. High shoes worn twice a week
will be found to be a great relief
says the Trenton Daily State Ga
zette.
The principal suffering in summer
comes from dry and burning soles.
Great relief may be had by bathing
the feet about once every two weeks
in washing soda. Take a couple Of
tablespoonfuls to a couple of gallons
of water or about as much water as
YOU need to cover the entire foot in a
deep vessel.
Upon taking the feet from the water
rub them vigorously with a rough
towel--a buck towel is best. If there
are soft corns they can be removed
very carefully with a penlSnife. but
the very greatest of care must be
taken to remove only the soft top and
not to break the skin, which is very
tender under the corn. The vigorous
rubbing to the soles should remove
some of the callous.
After the soda bath, however, II
will be found that the feet will be-
come drier than ever if not properly
cared for. They should be well oiled
and massaged at once. Vaseline or
olive oil is best, Use as much as the
feet will absorb, massaging 1t well
in, not only on the callous place, but
over the entire foot. Where there are
corns between the toes, place bits of
cotton to prevent friction. This treat
ment should be kept up daily after
the fee thave been given a cold waetT
bath in the morning.
Though the stockings may become
a bit oily, 1t will not harm them
any and will add comfort to the feet
Stockings should never be worn more
than once without washing. anyway
After a few treatments there Will bl
no more grease or oil to be absorbed
by the stockings than that which

The Waterless Ocean
BY HOWARD FALK.

bottom? Why. the pressure of the
water might crush the submarine
into bits" But the brothers knew
better than that. The cave was not
far enough down for the pressure of
the water to endanger the submarine
That evening in CHANGING to buy an
evening paper Guy read the follow
ing headlines:
Arlington Court Road Storehouse
No. Robbed of its Ammunition and
Cannon.
"sentinels Found Bound and
Gagged"
The newspaper account read thus:
Sept. /. 195-.-Owing to fear of
international complications the home
government has been keeping secret
the robbing of arms from different
storehouses at different times, but
when the No. was robbed and all
the Secret Service baffied the govern
ment finally has appealed to citizens
for a clue. 1t is thought the arms
are being used to aid q revolution
now in progress in Central America.
1.-THE service thinks arms are hid
somewhere on the ocean in a vessel
or on an island.
"The government does not want any
trouble with any nation, but calls on
| its citizens to help catch the person
or persons concerned in the theft"
He rushed to his brother. You
know that wood" he said 'the
initials are the same" handing him
the paper mo. Z Arlington Court
road, No. Z, A. C. r."
Lyss jumped in amazement. "These
figures and this board may help to
run those clever thieves to earth and
avoid a bloody war"
The next day at Washington the
brothers related their experiences and
were given command of a submarine
to investigate A crew of sailors and
twenty secret service men were to
help them.
The leader of the service men said
to Lyss and Guy: ut will be better

to approach at night as if such a cave
exists the men probably will be away
and We can search it."
Two days later when within ten
miles of their destination they kept
below the surface of the sea.
That night they sighted the cave,
which really existed in the side of a
steep hill They anchored in back
of the cave SO the men would not
see them of they returned.
Downing their diving suits they ap-
preached the cavern. 1t was shaped
like a triangle, one end of the tri-
angle extending into Cuba. The
cavern was waterproof, but if the
top should cave in it would probably
disappear.
Approaching the entrance all were
amazed at the way the sea stopped
at the entrance. They entered with
difficulty, for a current of air
stronger than the sea held the latter
back. The air probably came from
the mainlands of Cuba. 1t was dry
and comfortable within.
The end toward Cuba was stored
with stolen contraband war goods.
The centre of the room had a large
rock on which was rested an electric
searchhght. Electric guns were
hastily disposed of by the service"
Suddenly the men saw a dark form
loom up in front of the entrance.
They sped toward Cuba = Two ""t
of triangle which would hide them
from sight to the entering NJ. -
powerful searchlight from the sub
marine played on the entrance and
four men entered, carrying a heavy,
iron waterproof chest from which
they took some stolen rifles. The
chest had figures on it--No I, A. G. Il.
This was enough to the service. The
leader removed his helmet and led his
men forward.
