times. The reason is not difficult
to find. A pair of shoes may cas-
lily be made to wear a double
length of time. Thelman who,
in good times, would discard
shabby pair of shoes and buy a
new pair will, in hard times,
have a small patch put on the
uppers and a new half sole nailed
on, and then wear the repaired
shoes until he gets thoroughly a.
shamed of them. Parents who
would encourage their children
to wear shoes in good times will
encourage them to go barefoot
when money is scarce. All this
| makes dull times for the dealer
in shoes, who, by making his
clothes wear twice as long. cuts
down the trade of the clothing
merchant. The clothing dealer
makes up his loss by letting his
house go another year without
painting, and the painter and
paint dealer must economize in
some other respect. 1t is SIM
pie process of elimination of bus

Looks Like Judgment
on Them.

New York importing firms have
$50, ,OOO, 900 of merchandise tied
up in ports abroad because of the
British commerce restrictions on
goods made in Germany and Au-
stria. These importers have ap-
pointed a committee to take up
the matter with President Wilson
and to demand that these goods
be released.
Many of the men appearing on
this committee are known to the
members Of the Ways and Means
Committee of Congress as advo-
Gates of near trade on goods
competing with our own manu-
features. They spent time aud
money when the Underwood law
was being framed in lobbying the
tariff reduction. But as the Dem
ocrats were framing an import
ers' tariff law, these men were
called in as advisors. " and were
not known as lobbyists. The
Underwood -Simmons-Wilson tar
iff law gave them about what
they wanted, but higher power
is delaying their enjoyment of the
fruits of their iniquity. 1t looks

by ruling that manufacturers of
certain disputed products would
be exempt from taxation if they
changed their advertising.
The levying of the tax was thus
made to depend, not upon the
product itself, bat upon the way
it was advertised, virtually re-
solving a portion of Schedule B
of the war tax" law into a spe-
cial tax upon advertising rather
than upon the goods under dis
cussion when Congress enacted
the statute,
1t is elementary In law that
Interpretation of a law shall not
usurp the function ofIegislation. F"
This principle has been violated
in the administration of the war
tax" law. The Democratic Con,
gress named two confi( ting dates
as to the time Schedule B should
take effect, and the Internal Rev.
enue office by an arbitrary ruling
had to determine what Congress
intended.
The courts may decide that the
same thing has happened in the
rulings as to the tax on ''cosmet,
ics." in any event the history
of this portion of the war tax"
law has served to emphasize the
slovenly methods employed by
the Democratic Congress.

What are Cosmetics?

Every blunder in a statute is a
gilt edged invitation to a law suit.
A typical example Of one of
these invitations, so numerous in
practically every important stat
ute passed by the Democratic
Congress, occurs in Schedule B
of the "war tax" law, 1t threa
tens to vitiate the effectiveness
of the entire schedule.
That provision declares that
''perfumery, cosmetics, and 9th
er similar articles" shall be tax
ed. What are "cosmetics?" The
term is general, not specific. 1t
is not defined in the law, and the
question of what shall be termed
a cosmetic" has been plunged
into doubt, which the courts only
can finally clear up. A suit is
now pending to determine it.
From the earliest days of at
tempts to enforce this schedule,
there has been continual confus-
ion. Many manufacturers of ar
ticles of this character resisted
the tax, declaring that their goods
were not cosmetics" Revenue
collectors were at sea, and con-
flicting rulings from Washington
as to specific articles merely add
ed to the confusion, delay ard
expense of administration.

When the outbreak of the Eu-

dollars worth of emergency cur

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who
would like to increase their
weight with 10 or Is pounds of
healthy stay there" fat should
try eating little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note
results. Here is a good test
worth trying. First weigh your
self and measure yourself. Then
take Sargol-one tablet with ev-
cry meal-for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. II
isn't a question OF how you look
or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the
tape measure will tell their own
story, and most any thin man or
woman can easily add from five
to eight pounds in the first four
teen days by following this SIM
pie direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not OF itself make
fat, but mixing with your food, 1t
turns the fats, sugars and starches
of what you have eaten, into rich,
ripe fat producing nourishment
for the tissues and blood-pre-
pares 1t In an easily assimilated
form which the blood can readily
accept. All this nourishment now
passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and
does 1t quickly and makes the fat
producing contents OF the very
same meals you are eating now
develop pounds and pounds of
healthy flesh between your skin
and bones. Sargol is safe, pleas
ant, efficient and inexpensive.

of Oklahoma.
II will be recalled that Just be-
fore the Adamson bill came out
OF the reactionary committee on
commerce of the house, Senator
knute Nelson of Minnesota was
discovered to have submitted 10
Rome @. Brown. the well-known
attorney for the water-power In
terests, confidential draft" of
q water power bill which would
have absolutely turned over the
water powers of the country to
the trust with practically no COM
pensation to the federal govern
ment. Many Of the passages In
this confidential draft" and
many OF the amendments suggest
ed by Mr.. Brown were found to
have crept irrso the Adamson bill,
but were eliminated on the floor
Of the house.
The senate committee on COM
merce, of which Senator John X.
Shields of Tennessee Is a member,
refused to consider the Adamson
amendment bill when II came to
them. Instead Shields introduce
ed a substitute bill, which was
sent to Secretary of War CART
son for his suggestions. The war
department, through the chief OF
engineers, has jurisdiction over
power sites In navigable rivers.
Secretary Garrison recommended
to the committee the adoption or
certain amendments to the
Shields bill embodying the worst
feature of Knute Nelson's con
fidential draft bill approved By
Rome G. Brown and the water
power interests. Curiously enough
his proposed amendments were
In some cases identical word for
word with similar amendments
