BOOZE TAX HIGH
DISTILLERS GRUMBLE ABOUT n
ATHLETIC GOODS AND
MEDICINES.

Washington. ID. c., June ia
prohibitory tax on foodstuffs used in
making beverages, tentatively agreed
to last week by the senate finance
committee. was still further increas-
ed yesterday and then was formally
written into the war tax bill. The
new rate is $50 per 100 pounds, in
stead of $40 per bushel. and repre-
sentatives of the distillers declare it
unquestionably would be effective in
forcing suspension OF the distilling
industry. The section as approved
also limits the production of distilled
beverages.
Other liquor tax increases we're
approved by the committee today,
virtually without change from the
house schedules. The manufacturers
tax of 5 per cent on athletic goods,
cameras. patent medicines. perfumes
and cosmetics was reduced to 2 per
CEN and a subtax on scalpers' sales
of tickets was adopted. making the
rate from 5 to SO per cent flat.
Today. the income. excess profits
and publishers taxes will be taken
up. The committee now hopes to
present the redrafted bill in the SEN
ate early next week.

TO PAY PRISONERS
CAPTURED OFFICERS TO GET
PAY-AGREEMENT OF THE
HAGUE TRIBUNAL.

Washington, ID. c., June 16.-The
United States has proposed to Ger
many. through the Spanish govern
ment. that each country agree to
grant to military and naval officers
of the other country who may be
taken prisoners of war the rate of
pay the officers of corresponding
rank in the capturing forces receive.
The second Hague convention pro-
vides that Officers taken prisoners
shall receive the same rate of pay as
officers of corresponding rank in the
country where they are detained, the
amount to be ultimately refunded by
their own government" Both the
United States and Germany are sig
natories of this article. but there is
great question If any of The Hague
agreements are still in force.
The big difference in pay between
American and German officers will
probably be a matter of adjustment.
as, If German officers captured by
this country are paid at the Ameri-
can scale, their government would
have to refund much more than they
pay their men at home.

TO EAT WHALE
TO REDUCE LIVING COST-FIRST
CATCH A WHALE
TRY ONE.

Washington, ID. c., June 15.-"Eat
whale and live cheaper" the depart
ment Of commerce advises in a state
ment given out last night.
For some time the bureau of
fisheries has been advocating the
use of the meat of whales, porpoises,
dolphins and other cetaceans for
food" says the statement. There
is evidence of great interest now be
ing manifested in this matter by
whalefishermen on both coasts, and
it would not be surprising if within
a short time the meat of whales and
smaller cataceans. in both fresh and
preserved form. would be in demand
and extensively utilized"
Whales and porpoises are manuals.
and their flesh is meat" not fish, >
says the department of commerce.
In texture, appearance and taste they
resemble beef, though the color is
darker red.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO

Every Madison Reader Will Admit
the SOundness of the Logic.

Would Madison people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do If the

they confirm their statements after

pains through my kidneys and loins.

months ago the badly decomposed
body of a man thought to be Pete
Zurich, an Austrian or Hungarian

w. membership card and a memoran-
dun book indicating that the de
ceased had worked last fall in the
North Dakota harvest fields.

pockets. The coroner's jury return
ed a verdict of murder this after

SENATOR Sterling
WANTS PROBE OF CANTONMENT
COST-INTRODUCES A
RESOLUTION.

Washington. ID. c.. June 16.-Sen-
ator Sterling yesterday introduced a
resolution authorizing the senate
military committee TO investigate the
erection of buildings to be used by
the soldiers in the training camps.
The committee is asked to ascertain
the cost of the environments, the
wages of carpenters and other labor
ers and the price paid for the mate
rials.
Because of the short time for
building the military camps, competi-
tive bids have not been asked and
contracts have been let on the basis
of cost plus a percentage of profit
for the contractors. 1t has been al
legged in some instances that con-
tractors paid extortionate prices to
raise their profits.

Normal School Letter

To the Home Makers of Madison and Lake County:
The Normal School located in your midst was
organized and is maintained primarily to prepare
young people for teaching, but in connection with
this function, rather as a feature in this activity, the
institution maintains departments of instruction
having laboratory facilities and scientific apparatus.
The teacher sin charge of these departments can
often help the public in scientific service without
in the least impairing their other work, that of
class instruction, to resident students. Our Agri-
cultural department has for several years given
proof of this fact and is doing considerable to help
those engaged in agriculture to improve farm meth
DDS and processes.
Our Department of Chemistry now comes for
ward with an offer to give courses of lectures dur
ing the current summer term on Chemistry of
Foods and Conservation of the same with special
reference to the needs of the hosekeeper. These
lectures will be an elementary presentation of APP
piled Chemistry to household arts. They should
prove invaluable at this critical time to every house
keeper in the county. Our plan is to offer two of
these lectures per week, on Tuesdays and on Thurs
day, at either 10 a. m. or 3 p. m, as may be most
convenient for those interested. We shall be
obliged to charge a small fee to those who enroll,
but not more than $Ioo for the term. No other
charge will be made. Those interested may apply
at the Executive Office for enrolment cards and
work will begin next Tuesday if there is is any
demand for this service which j~ustifies carrying out
the program herein outlined.
