Good Ar in the House.

Clean air in the house is. as much 8 necessity to health as clean water, and, inasmuch as considerable DOT ton of the air in the house rises from the cellar, the cellar must be as clean and pure as 1t is desired that the house atmosphere shall be. In the ab- sence of any ventilating system win dows and doors must do the work of bringing in and letting out the air. The impure air must escape to make room for pure air. Open the windows at the top as we'll at the bottom. the warmer air at the top of the room will thus pass out. Keep one window on the top floor open a little most of tho time to provide a general air-escaps for the whole house. When airing bed rooms in the morning leave the cup board door open. A sleeping room used as a sitting room during the day must be given good airing before bedtime. The bath room and tho kitchen need special ventilation. and the living room must be well aired the last thing at night. otherwise tha used-up air will make It's way through the house.

Retort of John Wilkes.

In the days when George III. waa king, and when his periodic lapses Into !nfirmity of mind brought about re sumptions of the regency and changes of policy. there was an English lord chancellor who trimmed his sails to the doctors bulletins. He was a poli- tictan of type with which we are all too familiar. He heard one day that the king was better and would resume the reins of office, and he made an i'm passioned speech against the regency in the house of lords. Ill his perora' ton he cried, T cannot forget all that [ owe to the bounty of my gracious sovereign; and when forget him. may my God forget mel" He was impressed with the magnifcence of his own ora tory. and could not refrain from re- beating the last phrase to John Wilkes. whom he met in Westminster hall aft. or the debate. Forget you!" said Wilkes. He'll see you damned first Wall Street Journal.

OTHER "lsTsv 4 POOR SECOND
Pessirist and Optirnist Alike Had to Yield the Palm to the Quiet,
 Undisturbsd Fatalist.

Three students of philosophy sat on top of high hill. One was pessi- mist, one an optfmist and the third had not declared himself.
 While the first were warmly dis cussing their opposing theories of life, a sudden gust of wind stmultane- ously lifted off three hats and sent them bowling down the hill. The pessimist and the optimist gave chase. but their companion remained calmly sitting on top of the hill and watched the others running after the hats. Presently each procured his own hat and the optimist picked up also that of the third man. Then they panted back up the hill.
 "Whew!" gasped the optimist. as ne handed over the hat to him who still sat on top of the hill. q guess you're an optimist. too. You didn't seem to worry any"

Publicity Aids Economy.

As taxpayer it is to your per- sonal and individual interest that the receipts and expendi- lures of county, city and im- provement districts be publish ed. Even if you don't care to analyze or even read the reports the very fact that they HAVE TO BE PUBLISHED is what is important to your interests. The official who knows that every fi- nancial transaction of his of flee is going to have to be pub lished in the newspaper of his county, is going to be an econo- mical, careful and more effi- cient public servant no matter what his conduct might be if no publicity were required by the law. Act No. 3, to be voted on in September, is the act that re- quires publicity in public af- fairs.
 The law requires that the de- linquent tax list be published in the newspaper. Do you hear anybody saying that this is not right and proper? Why isn't it just as right and proper to pub- fish a list of taxpayers who have their assessments reduced by the county judge or Board of E. qualization? The public has 8 right to know. Vote for Act No. 3 in order to get publicity in public affairs.

Arranging Flowers.

To arrange flowers the best way take lesson from the fields. woods or garden where you find them grow ing. Where red and white clover. daisies and grasses are found. arrange them in g loose bouquet to look just as they grew: and. as these are unpre- tentious flowers. do not put them in a glass vase. but rather choose an or dinary vessel---a brown unglazed pot, q gray Chinese ginger jar or an earth en crock. The effect will be artistic. Indeed. the nnding of exactly the right weasel for every flower is . delightful study. just as well as to the proper ar sanxement of tho Nowers themselves.

Praises Presidents Peace Efforts.

A committee from the general con-
ference of the Society of Friends. which
recently met at Saratoga, consisting
of men and women, laid before the

ton of parliament of nations. backed
by a worlds court and world police
force to enforce the laws of the parlia-
ment and the decisions of the court.

lovers OF peace to work for such a
plan. The United States is in position.
il is claimed, to use decisive influence
for a. permanent settlement on the
basis Of world organization rather than
a mere temporary truce which will re-
suit in future wars.
President Wilson is asked to initiate
the movement for worlds peace by the
creation of a worlds parliament, court
and police.
The President was praised for his eff
forts so far and said he was pleased

BEFORE DEMOCRATS

sion in War Revenue Bill
Are Registered.

Whether stock brokers shall be ex-
empted from a special war tax OF sou
a year was up for determination when
democrats of the House ways and
means committee resumed work today
on the war revenue bill. This phase OF
the matter was before the committee
in connection with Treasury Depart
ment estimates of revenue to be raised
from special and stamp taxes to be
levied.
Numerous protests against the pro-
nosed tax, which was authorized by
the democratic caucus. have been
lodged with the committee by stock
brokers, A similar tax was levied
during the Spanish war.
The closing of stock exchanges all
over the country on account of the
European war, the resultant democrat
ization of their business and uncer.
tainty as to when the exchanges Will
reopen is the basis OF the claim OF the
brokers for exemption. Several COM
mittee members contend that the tax
should he included, because the brokers
have not closed their offlces.
Plan to Oppose Measure.
The outcome of tonight's conference
called by House republicans to discuss
plans for fighting the war revenue bill

were being made by republican leaders
in both houses today for opposing the

nestle wines in the war revenue bill.
but Representative Underwood. chair

there was no disposition to change the
plan of taxing dry wines. Represent
atives Of California wine growers are

/ Later the committee decided to in
| crease the tax on dry wines to IA cents
a gallon, the argument being that the
| original proposal of II cents was too
| low as compared with a tax of 20
| cents on sweet wines.
| The committee spent some time de-
| batting the language of the section
which will relate to the wine tax. Later
today it proposes to take UP the mat
| ter of stamp tax rates. Several OF
| the democrats declared that the pro-
tests of brokers against tax would
be ignored.

While the immigration stream is at
