What the War Moves Mean
BY J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

Hitherto the British have been the
only belligerents who have not tried
to dodge the financial responsibilities
of the war. Parliament long ago Inn
posed heavy war taxes on British
people whose chief complaint was
that the government had not done so
sooner. When the example of Baden
spreads throughout the kaiser's en-
pire, the Germans will then begin to
realize how seriously the war must af-
feet their pocket books for many
years to come.
In what manner Germany will take
this discovery, may have an import
ant bearing on peace. DR.. Helfferich,
the minister of finance, declared in
the reichstag last August that war
taxes would be unnecessary for Ger.
many because the cost of the conflict
would be collected from Germany
enemies through an indemnity. This
week, however, DR.. Helfferich revers.
ed himself and told the reichstas that
despite any indemnity Germany might
obtain, increased taxation after the
war. would be colossal"

Wonderful gowns worn by Iheda
Bara in D'Annunzio's 'The Devils
Daughter"
Every woman should be on the look
out for the wonderful gowns which
the sinuous Theda Bara, the far
famed Vampire woman of the Antoine
theatre, Paris, wears in the new
screen drama 1.-THE Devils Daughter
especially written for her by Gabrielle
D'Annunzio, the noted author OF Ca
biria, which is produced by William
Fox, who brought Mile. Bara to this
country; and under whose manage
ment she has appeared in the famous
successes "a Fool There Was" The
Clemenceau Case" and the 1.-TWO Or.
phans" D'Annunzio bases his film
drama Of 1.-The Vampire" upon his La
Gioconda which, when Eleanora Duse
created the character, made a world
wide sensation and was the most
talked Of drama ever written.
Grace of line and a generally YAM
pirish'. effect has been sought for by
the French actress in selecting hey
gowns for this character. The result
is startling in it's sensational art
Every woman who sees these wonder
| full creations is going to rave over
them. Already Mile. Bara has ere
ated a sensation at the Belmont park
race track and at the fashionable
cafes and hotels by her wonderfully
effective gowns. But in "The Devils
Daughter" her garments Guido in
amazing effects any thing she has yet
worn.
'The Devils Daughter" is to be
/ shown at the Hippodrome theatre to
night. Critics have stated that the
DEVILS Daughter" is by far the great
est photoplay that Theda Bara has
ever appeared in-so be sure to see it

mace When Flames
Reached Him.

Earl D. Erwin, proprietor of pool
and billiard halls in Warsaw, and son
Of the manager of the Dairy lunch
room on Main street, between Third
and Fourth streets, threw coal oil on
smoldering Goals in a furnace under
the restaurant building yesterday aft
ernoon about 4 o'clock, to start fire,
and then ran back. But the explo-
sion was quick and the flames shot
out further than he expected and at
fourteen feet he was envelopeu In a
sheet of fire with the result that his
head face and hands were painfully
burned. Luckily his clothing did not
catch fire. His hair caught but he
put the flames out with his hands.
DR.. F. G. Smith was called and
dressed the burns. HIS face was
scorched and his eye lashes, eye
brows and part Of his hair burned off.
He was standing sideways when the
flash shot out. His hands were also
badly burned.
Erwin had gone to the basement to
start fire in the furnace. There
were few live Goals smoldering In
the bottom and Erwin put some kind
ling wood in on them. He had can
of coal oil with which to sprinkle the
wood. He said today that he knew
1t would explode, but did not look fol
the blast that came. AS soon as hi
had thrown the oil in the furnace he
hurried back away from 1t and was
about fourteen feet away when the
flames shot out. The furnace is situat
ed at the rear Of the restaurant un
der the kitchen.
The young mar was confined to his
bed today and will probably be laid
up for some time.

. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-TfC first
important new taxation within Ger
many since the beginning of the war
have been levied by the grand duchy
of Baden, which has increased its in
come tax by twenty percent on all
incomes above $3.50. Other states
within the German confederation have
announced their intention of follow.
ing Baden's example and the i'm
perial government, as well, is pre-
pairing to meet the financial burdens
of the war; Income taxes in Ger
many are assessed by the German
states individually and not by the i'm
perial authorities. The taxes now be-
ginning, therefore, are subsidiary to
the more stringent action which the
reichstag must take sooner or later,
in order to pay for the war. Baden's
increased income tax, while produced
by conditions resulting from the war,
is not in reality a war tax itself. 1t
is no more than an intimation, to the
German people of the frightful finan-
cial load which eventually the reich
stag must saddle upon Germany as
whole.

these vacancies were caused by the
fact that the respective Institutes

Another Old Custom limo Has Re

Another Old Custom limo Has Re-
moved.
With the passing of time has come
the passing of many old customs; fam
lily traditions are long forgotten.
This is particularly true Of one Of
the Oldest of customs among house
wives, that Of daughters following
their mothers in the use OF foods and
methods.
In the olden days If mother did a
icertain thing this way or that way.
daughter did likewise, regardless of
newer and improved methods.
If mother used a particular brand OF
food, daughter was blinded to better
kinds merely because mother had used
the same brand for years.
But now both mothers and daugh-
tiers have changed their methods and
investigate and compare, not by price
alone, but by actual results obtained.
The older order is changing. The
lcandle has given way to the electric
light; the old fashioned fireplace go
scientific heating methods. Millions
OF housewives have changed their
brands of coffee. tea, extracts, baking
powder and other foods. Calumet
Baking Powder is one of the most
popular brands on the market today
because of the uniformly good baking
results obtained by those who use It.
