SALT TAXATION IN ITALY.
An Obstinate Traveller was Forced to
-. Pay For His Goods.

Italian salt is heavily taxed, not
because 1t is a luxury, but because 1t
is necessity, and the poor suffer
greatly. Sugar Is taxed also, even In
the frivolous form of white orna-
ments on the top Of cake. So a
traveller from Alexandria found of
late, arriving in Venice, bringing with
him a decorated cake. Having no
taste for cake, the traveller sailed into
the port of Venice with his Egyptian
sugar uneaten and forgotten. Down
upon the cake came the Italian Off
cials, demanding duty. The English
man protested that cake was not
contraband, whereupon the white
ornaments were denounced. 1t was
argued, besides, that the substance
of the pastry itself was probably
sweetened. The traveller, who did
not like paying duty, proposed to
heave the whole thing overheard into
the lagoon. Not so; his arm was
grasped; the sugar was now the pro-
perty of the king Of Italy. The
traveller paid

ATTRACTIVE TRIMMINGS
ON THE NEW MILLINERY

Representations of fruits and nuts
are now seen on millinery. Fruits
have, of course, been copied for some
time. but nuts are quite new in the
millinery realm and very attractive
trimming they make, especially when
accompanied by berries and foliage.
Kid, suede and chenille novelties are
all good. and tailored hats are revel-
ing in them. according to the Phila-
delphia North American.
Ribbons are to play an important
part in the trimming of hats, especial
ly the tailored hats. These narrow
ribbons are usually of grosgrain or
faille. There is, too, atendency to

II ouseho old HintC..
To Reduce the Gas Bill.

Pin the following suggestions near
the gas stove, carefully follow, and
then note the gas bill lessening:
Remember: "Matchess are cheaper
than gas"
Have all food ready for the blaze
before lighting the burner.
Never use large burner when a
small one will do.
Remember a small blue flame
gives more heat and burns less gas
than high yellow flame.
After the water on the vegetables
reaches the boiling point, turn gas
down. Slow boiling cooks just as
well and takes less gas than fast
boiling.
A strip of asbestos pinned around
burner causes the heat to concen-
trate on the cooking, instead of scat
tering into the atmosphere.
Place colander in sausepan
where potatoes or other vegetables is
boiling. In colander set sauce or
soupplate containing pudding or any
leftover vegetable you wish to re-
heat. Then set saucepan cover In
colander. Thus no extra gas is re-
quired for heating "leftovers."
Set gravy, to be rewarmed, on top
of any boiling vegetable; cover, and
it will heat thoroughly.
When having a roast, do all the
cooking in the oven. Any article
that requires boiling will cook just
as well in the oven.
Sailed nuts can be cooked just as
well in popcorn pepper as in an
oven.
The burner on top of stove, as well
as in the oven, may be eXtinguished
after food is cooked, and still retain
enough heat to keep food warm for
at least five minutes.

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

For Chapped Hands-Five table

pint of water; use as a gargle.
When giving a sick person an al

Morgan Assailant Kills Himself

New York, July Crank Holt, the halfcrazed professor of
languages who shot j.. Pierpont Morgan twice last Saturday after
setting off a bomb at the National capitol on Friday, is a suicide
He was found in a pool of blood in his cell in the Mineola Jail to-
night at 1885 o'clock. He had killed himself while his keeper had
stepped away from his cell to 60 to the end of the tier. Earlier in
the day he had attempted suicide by opening a vein in his wrist.
This was but one of the sensations in the aftermath of the
Morgan shooting.
In this city to-day the police found a Trunk full of dynamite
and other explosives sent to the city by Holt
In a bungalow near Central Park village, on Long Island,
Hollis bomb factory was discovered. Explosives and tools were in
the house. Hundreds of empty revolver shells and SCARED targets
showed where Holt had practiced shooting.
Plunged To Floor OF Cell
Theories as to how Holt ended his life are conflicting. The
most generally accepted one is that he climbed to trelis at the top
of his cell and plunged to the floor below.
This belief is borne out in report that Police Commissioner
Arthur Woods received tonight from Captain Tunney, and Scull,
his secretary, whom he dispatched to Mineola as soon as he heard
of Hollis death.
"In some way Holt climbed to the top of his 15ioot cell, I am
informed" said the commissioner early this morning at the Har-
ward Club "He doubled himself into a knot. it seems, and then
plunged head-downward to the cement floor below. His skull was
fractured, nearly every bone in his body was broken and he received
internal injuries"
The body of Holt was taken from the Mineola morgue this
morning and an autopsy was performed. 1t was found that Hollis

and on the forehead. There also is a large confusion on the top of
the head.

Increased Mining
Activity In Nevada

The United States Geological has
received reports from V. G. Heikes
of satisfactory conditions in Nevada
that promise well for the 1915 out
put of metals. Since May, the mines
and mining districts of Nevada are
more lively than they have been in
years and more ore is being shipped
than for months past.
Over 100 cars of ore per month are
being shipped from the Yellow Pine
district, in Clark County, where near
ly every zinc and copper property is
working, but zinc producers without
contracts for their product are ex-
periencing a hard time selling it at
the present high prices. The silver
mills at Tonopah are operating at
usual capacity. treating about 10000
tons of ore weekly.
On the Comstock lode the pumps
of the Mexican and Ophir Wine have
lowered the water to the 2700 level.
Nothing that has happened on the
Comstock in 25 years is of such inn
portance as a vast quantity of virgin
ground that has been opened up in
the north end mines. Last month
the first ore in 80 years was brought
up from the $500 level of the Com
stock. Rochester district is equipped
with a custom mill. and recently
made a second shipment of silver
bullion valued at SIG. 900 after a run
of l6 days. The Nevada CONSOLE
dated mill and smelter at Ely are
operating at full capacity. A fiota-
ton process has been added to its
concentration. At Thompson. the
Mason Valley smelter remains idle
and nothing is being made public
concerning the success of the leach
ing process on Nevada Douglas cop
per ores. The gold production for
Nevada will likely not exceed the
output of 1918, although greater
activity has been reported from

HURRICANE DESTROYS
SEVERAL WESTERN TOWNS
More Than Fifty People Reported
Killed and Property Damage
Estimated at 81, 000, 900

Cincinnati, o., July S.-The most
devastating storm that has visited
this city in several decades descend
ed about $50 o'clock last night, ragged
with cyclonic intensity for half an
hour. took a toll of lives estimated
as close to 35 and wrought property
damage between half a million and a
million dollars.
List of Missing Grows
AS definite reports began to filter
in to-day from the suburbs, the list
of the missing, which at last reports
last night indicated between Is and
20, was increasing.
Cincinnati awoke this morning to
find railroad service partially para
lyzed, its wire communication with
the outside world hampering to such
an extent that only press wires were
available. its streets Uttered with
fallen trees, signs, roofs of houses
and other wreckage that had been
tossed here and there by the wind.
Church Spires Blown Down
Numerous church spires were
blown down and with the wreckage
in the streets not yet removed. street
car service was limited.
From the other side of the Ohio
river in Newport. Covington, Fort
Thomas and Fort Mitchell. KY. come
reports of collapsed houses and the
street car service of those cities has
been entirely suspended. In the
outlying districts of Cincinnati the
property damage which was unknown
last night appears to be heavy, par
ticularly in the resident section of
Clifton, Avondale and College Hill.
Valuable Race Horses Killed
A special train on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, carrying race horses
from the recently ended meeting at
Latonia to the eastern tracks was
wrecked at Terrace Park. a short
distance from this city. Nineteen OF
what are considered the best horses
that raced at the Latonia meeting
were killed. 1t was also reported
that two caretakers were killed anC
10 others injured, including severa
Jockeys.

advance. They have taken Tolmino,
north of their principal objective,
Gorilla, in the Isonzo district. This
will be of much benefit to them in
their operations to reduce and cap

The Montenegrins have seized
Scutari and the Servians have taken
Durazzo, both Adriatic seaports.
This has caused much alarm in Italy,
which entered the war largely for
the purpose of controlling the Adria-
tic. Italy now holds the port OF

also concerned by the advance OF
