ONLY A MOUSE IN THE CREAM
The Butter Tasted Just as Good to
the Woman, and She Didn't
Recognize II.

Some years ago, when Thomas L.
Calvert, chief inspector Of the Ohio
dairy and food department, was run
ming a general store in a country
town, a woman came into the store
with small quantity of butter which
she wanted to sell.
I'VE made this for our own use,
but we found that a mouse had run
through the cream, so we decided to
sell it," she said. You know, It will
make no difference Just so the per-
son who eats the butter does not know
that the mouse was in the cream"
she added.
Mr.. Calvert bought the butter. pad
died 1t into a different shape and put
it away in a cool place in the rear of
the store. Two days later the woman
came back to the store to buy some
butter. Mr.. Calvert sold her the but
ter he had bought from her. He had
bought it for that very reason, intend
ing to teach the woman a lesson. The
next time the woman came to the store
she told Mr.. Calvert that the butter he
had sold her was of fine quality. and
she asked where he got it.
1T was what you sold me; you
know, you said that it would make
no difference if no one knew that the
mouse ran through the cream" Mr..
Calvert said.-Columbus CO., Dispatch

CAUCUS DIVIDES ON
MUN|T|ON TAX
Strong Sentiment to Put Even Heavier
Charge on Excessive
Incomes.

Washington, Aug 10.-The Senate
Democrats in caucus tonight reached
no conclusion on the general revenue
bill. owing to the failure OF the COM
mittee to agree on the proposed mu-
nitions tax.
The opposition to a SPECIFIC tax on
copper, lead. zine and steel became
so general that many suggestions
were made and urged to provide the
requisite revenue by increasing the
surtaxes in the income tax section.
The committee has fixed this at IS
per cent on all incomes above 81 .o00,-
900, that being an increase of per
cent above the House bill As high
as 90 per cent was advocated tonight.
The committee will vote tomorrow
on the munitions tax proposals The
amendment that seems to meet with
most approval Is one assessing a grad
uated tax on the net profits of all
articles sold to a foreign govern ment
or its representatives. This would In
clude everything from clothing to ac-
tual munitions, The proposed tax Is

FINAL SETTLEMENT OF
LUS|TAN|A CASE SOON
In Meantime General Discussion of
Diplomatic Situation May Harm
American interests.

Washington. Aug. lot was indi-
Gated. clearly and officially, at the
State Department today that the final
settlement of the Lusitania case. in
Guiding claims, would be reached
shortly at personal conferences be-
tween Secretary OF State Lansing and
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassador. Secretary Lansing discussed
very guardedly several published
statements relating to the present
status of the negotiations. 1t Is known
that Count Won Bernstorff and Mr..
Lansing have arranged that a basis
for settlement was furnished in the
last note of Germany on the Lusi-
tania and on the subsequent Sussex
cases.
The incident of the Sussex, it is
stated. alone developed the satisfac-
tory progress of the negotiations be-
tween Count Won Bernstorff and Mr..
Lansing personally at the State De-
partment The Sussex case. however,
eventually was settled to the satisfac-
ton of this government. The only
rift in the agreements between the
United States and Germany on ques-
tons of principle developed about
on his vacation. 1t was then init
mated that the department would en-
deavor to ascertain If Germany had
carried out to the letter her promises
In her note accepting responsibility
for the Sussex disaster. 1t was stated
that this government might ascertain
through Ambassador Gerard whether
Germany had punished the submarine
commander who was responsible for
h
now that the inquiry was not made.
Mr.. Lansing, discussing the Lusi-
tania, case today. described the nego-
tiations other than those which have
been given out in the text by the
State Department as informal" He
intimated that unwarranted references
to these informal discussions or con-
lectures as to their nature would
probably do harm to this government
The State Department denies abso-
lutely that it has asked the permits
sion of Germany to make public any
document relating 70 the LusItanfa
case as published today.

Still IN DOUBT AS
TO BABY WILLIAMSON
DOCTORS Have Not Yet Decided Posi-
lively As to the Character OF
His Disease.

Further observance of the case of
little Douglas Williamson. who is at
the detention pavilion suspected OF
having infantile paralysis. have not
satlshed the physicians that the dis
ease is present. 1t is still regarded
as extremely suspicious. and 1t is ex-
pected that further diagnosis OF the
eHild's Illness will shortly prove con-
elusive the nature of the disease.
The view is held by some of the
investigating physicians that the child
is afflicted with meningitis SYMPTOMS
indicating the disease having been
manifest. This, however, is likewise
uncertain. Twice fluid has been
drawn from the spinal column OF the
child, and subjected to tests, but moth
ing has developed to warrant a de-
cision by the. physicians.
Since the removal of the child to
the isolated pavilion near the City
Home, there has been no way that
the disease could spread. If 1t is
proven that the illness is infantile pa
ralysis. The quarantine on It's pa
rents home, $40 North Twenty first
Street, has been raised. as there were
no children in the house. and no
preventive measures are necessary.
