Will You Read This Twice?

"A very Important question
to-day which every housekeeper
must decide for herself is whether
she prefers pure, cream OF tartar
baking powder like Royal or
whether she is willing to use
baking powder made of inferior
substitutes which do not add
healthfu1 qualities to the food.
One kind is easily distin-
guished from the other, since
the Laws Of vari Gus States require
the ingredie nts to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in
doubt which kind is most health
full, it Is worth while to ask the
family doctor. Then decide.
And when once decision is
reached let no advert sement or
Dealers argument or canvasser's
solicitation change the decision.
It is not a question of few
cents or Of pleasing a salesman.
It is question Of health.
If this appeals to you as rea-
sonab1e and sensible advice, 1t
is worth reading twice. And it
is worth remembering.

STREET CLOTHES TAILORED:
AND SEMI-TAILOREDIN CUT
Plain Coats and Zouave Jackets Mark
the Divergence of the Mode
BOOTS AND HATS MILITARY ORIGIN

New York, May 6, 1915.-Now that
Easter is past history and the smart
woman has placed her stamp Of approval
on this style and by that actual wear
ing, street clothes resolve themselves
into two distinct types, the tailored
and semi tailored suit.
Perhaps it is the anticipation of a
crosS-cocntinent trip to the fair that is
making the tailored suit so popular or
1T may be milady on charity bent finds
the plain coat and short skirt in keep
ing with her mood. Whatever the ir-
restible influence is, it has left them
for the most part plain creations with
coats medium length and skirts short,
even to the top of the high boots.
In the window of Fifth avenue
shop, model of dark blue gabardine
is attracting the gaze of the never ceas-
ing stream of well dressed women who
frequent this thoroughfare. Suggestive
of uniform, it bodily stands forth with
patch pockets over the seams, a small
one above and large one below the
broad belt of white leather that sports

ions. Suits of serge, gabardine OF
checked worsted have edges bound with
Hercules braid in black. white, tan o,
blue. Narrow soutache braid in white
makes another smart finish on blue
serge, placed in four rows around the
skirt above the hem, but if there is a
preference it is given to the new silver
tinsel braid which appears in floral Dor
ders on the bottom of the serge and
gabardine coats. So quickly did it come
and so smart was the effect, its popu-
larlty was instantaneous-to day in one
shop, tomorrow in another, and by the
end of week the whole avenue wears
IT. Nor are these borders confined to
the tinsel alone. One Of the small spe-
cialty shops shows a serge coat with
the border in white silk braid and the
effect is really fetching. There are
other suits, too with the borders en-
broidered with blue silk floss. Indeed,
variety is endless in these strictly tail
ored suits. Their style is even accentu-

cut on semi-tailored lines.
Distinctly different in purpose and
appearance the suits with short Zouave
jackets in no wise conflict with the
vogue of the tailored, but are selected
for theatre, afternoon and dress wear
One of New York IS most famous houses
has on display an attractive model in
mouse gray faille silk, the coat short
and boxy and the skirt laid in soft
pleats. Fine silk covered motifs in the
corners of the jacket and woven buttons
in self-tones make rich trimming.
The other day in theatre party of
four young girls, who braved the un-
certain April weather to wear their best
to the matinee, two had the new short
jacket suits, one blue taffeta with silk
covered buttons placed close together
down the closing and the other a gray
silk with frogs of silk covered cord.
In some of the better shops they are
introducing these short coats in cloth,
but taffeta and faille are used in the
great majority of the models.
1t is like great painting, the suits
forming the central figure and the ac.
cessories background that makes the
picture perfect. Neckwear is
alluring. In the stores, we
read small painted placards bearing -
Berthas," "Jabots' and "Fichus''
and marvel that such confections of
net, lawn, Val. and filet lace, chiffon
and crepe de chine can so quickly come

overs, dainty flat organdy collars, part

linen collars cut on the Buster Brown

a black buckle. The collar, notched in
the most approved manner, is faced with
white broadcloth to match the belt and
bound with black braid the same as the
front and the lower edge. Huge white
ball buttons complete the trimming and
below the binding ON the circular skirt,
the cuffs Of Russian boots are seen in
black patent leather to match the vamp,
while the quarter is made Of white kid.
A small turban Of black straw with
white wings flaring on either side car
ries out the balance Of the black and
white, making the skill Of clever
modiste.
Many variations are seen in this suit,
Here it is made without the pockets,
and there with shawl collar in place
of the notch. However, if you start
in quest Of some really new fabric you
are doomed to disappointment unless
the fabric be cotton. Invariably as
you roam through the racks and models
of the cloak and suit departments, you
see the black clad saleswoman pause in
front Of the chair of prospective Gus
toner and hear her say, ga dark, blue
serge or gabardine, shepherds check
worsted or Donnegan Tweeds" and
there the choice ends, unless, as I said
before, you want cotton for your tail
ored suit. Here magic has been wrought
with the wrap and wool. Carnival is
one of the interesting new cottons; it
is material for all the world like a
duvetyne that has borrowed the knots
of ratine, and there are numberless
other good suiting cottons and linens.

Hats equally stunning, appear in tur-

and tricornes, all straw or satin faced,

of the crown and have heard it said,

SUPREME JUDGES SCORED.

That the Preseutssoapfeue court ;re
verses the findings in decision of
that tribunal rendered 10 years age
when constituting section 6975 Of the
new revised codes, in it's opinion on the
application for writ of habeas corpus
granted State Auditor Fred l.. Huston,
automatically quashing the Indictment
that stood against him charging the
transportation of public funds, is
pointed out by Justice William M. Nor
gan in dissenting opinion handed
down, along with the majority opinion,
today by the court. Some time ago the
court rendered an oral opinion grant
ing the writ and announced the writ
ten opinion would be filed later. At
that time Chief Justice Sullivan and
Justice Alfred Bulge held to grant the
application. Justice Morgan dissent
ed. The written opinions subsequent
ly followed and were made of record.
The majority opinion holds in brief
that as the facts alleged in the in
dictment do not state public offense
against the petitioner, Huston, he
must be discharged. by Sheriff Pfost of
Ada county. Huston technically ad-
mitted his incarceration in the county
Jail in order to bring the habeas cor
pus proceedings. Justice Bulge wrote
the majority opinion and it is con-
cured in by the chief justice. This
opinion discusses at some length the
facts in the case reciting that James H.
Wallis and Huston were jointly in
dicted by the grand jury on the charge
of appropriating without authority Of
law public money in certifying and
issuing 500 salary warrant drawn on
the travelling expense fund. Section
1915 of the revised code is then dis
cussed and the case of State versus
Browne, Idaho, 1873 a Latah county
case is cited.
Holds Distinction Clear.
The majority opinion holds there is
a clear distinction between that case
and the Huston case and that the facts
are entirely different; that the priu-
ciples of law applied in that case cam
not consistently be made applicable
to the case at bar. 1t was in this case
that I. c. Hattabaugh, well known here,
was involved. The duties of the state
auditor are then discussed and num-
srous citations given. The court says

And yet, all along this route, our
commodity has controlled the act1v-
tiles of men who are but the persona
fication of economic interests. One .
hundred use-values have been pro-
duced, containing the same value
that five formerly contained.
This distinction between use-value
and value is distinction that the
single taxer calls abominable reason
ing. He is hardly to be blamed, for
on one side we have to consider the
expenditure of the life-force OF labor,
and this expenditure is surely abom-
Unable especially in system where
the laborer, as a result Of the equal
ity'' of competition, only receives a
bare subsistence, regardless OF the
quantity of use-values he creates.
When we enter the ideal realm
the market-reason does not prevail.
It is economic necessity. And Wells
is surely right when he says it is
abominable.
Any system of competition presup-
poses also the competition OF labor
ers (wage workers) in the sale Of
their labor-power and competition
between laborers means that the
price of labor-power must descend to
the bare subsistence of that labor
power.-A. E. M.

with the old hand loom a man
can weave S, with new power loom
he can weave 100. What produces
the difference if the loom does not?"
&C. F. Hunt.
Let us lay all abominable reasoning
on one side and let us take our 100
under our arm and enter the single
takers paradise, Free Trade, where
the ideal condition prevails of the
equality of competition, with the
means of production owned by
class; and let us see if the loom pro-
duced the additional 95.
The market value of 5, until we en-
ter the market, has been, let us say,
$40. But we now offer 100, which
have cost only as much as formerly
did. We are pressed to find demand
"a buyer for our extra supply-and
we must hurry, because we find our
competitors have also taken advan-
tage of the new method and are offer
ing their commodity in competition
with ours. The effect is that the
value of 5 is now the value of 100,
and the market is the retort in which
the value of commodities is distilled
out.
If capital had added any value it
would come to light here. The only
thing that manifests itself is the les
sened labor-time required in produc-
ton, and hence the lessened value.
In the end our commodities get
kicked around in the market from
manufacturer to jobDer, to whole
saler, to retailer, to the receiver in
bankruptcy, to the consumer, each
taking off his little bit and adding
his expenses (taxes, profit, rent, in
