The senate is on the right path IN
adding to the war tax on wealth Inc
senate finance committee was more
solicitous for the sacred rights VI
property" than the occasion called for
in framing its war tax bill. There Is
no sound reason why men OF great
wealth should be less GENEROUSLY dealt
with, in comparison with their MEANS
than the rank and file, in meeting the
cost of this war. The argument that
capital must not be discouraged OF
frightened at the outset in order thst
it may be more heavily drawn on later
is weak enough excuse for the IN
Fiction of consumption taxes on the
whole people while excessive wealth
is lightly touched by the tax gatherer'
A tax on tea, coffee, sugar or any OF
the other necessities of life, reaches
everybody to be sure, but it hits the
Door man and his family heavy blow
while its effect on the rich is too small
10 be noticed. Income and profit taxes
are fair and equitable means Of meet
ing extraordinary expenses, and the
taxes should be increased as the in
come and profits increase. If England
finds it just and feasible to take 80 per
cent OF war profits why should the
United States demand only 20 per
cent? What excuse, based on justice
and equality, can be advanced for
conscrlpting men and not money! For
once since this war began, Senator
La Toilette is right-right in his ad-
vocacy OF heavier taxes on wealth to
meet the expenses Of war.

at the parting, she cut loose entirely
from the family, not even letting them
know where she had gone. Her room,
though small, was neat and comfort
able, and in a good part of the city.
She got her breakfast over the gas in
her room, and her other meals at a
cheap restaurant.
At home when she came from the
office, she was expected to wash dishes
and help with the housework Now
after Office hours she was free to
sew, keep her clothes in order, read
rest, or 60 where she pleased. If there
We're hours when she missed the COM
partnership of mother and the children,
they were more than balanced by the
Joy Of her new freedom. She had more
opportunities for going out with her
friends, and making new acquaint-
ances. On one of these occasions she
met a man who told her he was about
TO open an Office, and he offered her a
position as typlst with a much better
salary than she was getting.
Frank Austin, the man in question,
was "A good talker, we'll hammered, well
dressed, about thirty-five years of age,
and TO all appearances a gentleman.
Gussie accepted his offer, and found
her new quarters pleasant and attrac-
tive. On the glass door in gilt letters
were the words: "Pyro Mining and In
vestment Company, Frank Is. Austin,
President"
GussIe was kept busy addressing
hundreds of letters and circulars all
over the country. Besides this she
wrote great many letters at Austln's
dictation She was working harder
than she had been but she reasoned
she was getting better pay. II seemed
very wonderful 10 her to be writing
about millions, and enormous returns
for money invested, and one day She
ventured to shy she wished she might
own Il few Of those shares, whercupon

Direction for washing painted walls /:
Common baking soda works miracles,
1t has been found. Use two pals Of
tepid water, wet cloth, sprinkle little
of the soda on it and wash space that
can be easily reached. Rinse in clear
water and wipe dry. Be sure to wash
in one direction in order to avoid
streaks when dry. All grease and dirt
will disappear with very little rubbing
and you will be pleased with results.
Use the soda sparingly Ga five-cent
package will be sufficient for the aver
age kitchen). In cleaning paint add a
teaspoonful Of Kerosene oil to warm
water.

SECURED IRON FROM METE0RS
Had Tools and Weapons Obtained
in This Manner.

In the old world the art Of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 b. G.
It has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at an earlier period from me-
teortes, and recently considerable
amount of evidence in behalf Of this
hypothesis has been presented by Mr..
G. +. thinner He has compiled list
Of the known iron-containing meteor
ties, nearly all accumulated within the
past century, and he shows from these
alone about two hundred and fifty tons
Of iron might be obtained. OF this
amount more than 30 per cent Is NAL
leable, consisting Of a nickel-lron al
10y.
Hc also shows by means of series
of illustrations how easy it is to detach
from the metcorltes fragments Of iron
suitable for use as tools or implements
when mounted in handles. Thus 1t
seems fairly probable that a wide
spread u3e may have been made Of
meteorc iron in prehistoric times. At
the time Of the Spanish conquest of
Mexico the Aztecs had iron knives and
daggers, which they declared had been
obtained from the sky. Moreover, the
use Of meteorIc iron by Eskimos and
American Indians is n matter Of recent

Great Enulish Estates.

A few illustrations of the size OF
some English estates are as follows:
The Duke of Northumberland owned a
few years since 191 ,481 acres; the
Duke Of Devonshire 49, 1913; the Duke
Of Bedford, S7515. Those who know
nothing of the facts cxclaim, "Why
don't the English people break up these
big estates and give the people a
chance to get land" If this were done
and tinkcrs, tailors and candlestick
makers got to farming and treating
their lands just as they liked down
would 90 its fertility, and away for
ever would go the well-ordered, fertile
estates that now make England fam
Gus. The English landlords as a rule
take n real interest and pride in their
tenants and spend money freely IN
providing pedigreed horses, horned
cattle and sheep for the improvement
Of their hocks, studs and herds.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being great

conditions requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine

Gusie Felstrom worked all day in
the box factory. 1t was mOnotonous
wearlsome work, and very small pay.
She saw on the avenue, when she
went home, other girls, no prettier than
she wearing becoming, beautiful
clothes. When she went in to buy a
pair Of cheap cotton gloves she saw
women buying long kid ones, and a
kind of rebellion surged up in her heart
at the existing state of things. But
there was the WORKOUT, overworked
mother, and four children, all younger
than herself. The fathers small, inter-
mlttent earnings barely kept a roof
over their heads.
Had Gussie not been a girl who
thought, she might have drifted along,
perhaps in the footsteps of her moth
er, or worse, have become a girl Of
the streets on the downward road to
despair and death. She determined to
fit herself for something better, so
she went to night school, and then
learned typewriting.
She began working in an Office at So
q week. This was not much better
than the box factory wages, and she
required better clothes, in order to
make decent appearance, so from a
monetary point of view her condition
was not much improved But she felt
she had taken a step upward, and the
family regarded her advancement in
life with considerable pride. AS the
girl grew older and wanted more, and
her wages did not correspondingly in
crease. After she had been a typist
for two years she was earning only
So week.
She was now nineteen, and her asso-
citation with other girls in Offices had
shown her homes cleaner, brighter and
altogether more livable than her own.
She determined to have something bet
ter for herself Two of the young
er children were now working, and she
resolved to seek a room away from the
home roof.
Both father and mother endeavored
to show her how ungrateful, unfeeling,
and utterly inhuman such a course
would be to them; but in spite of up
braidings and entreaties Gussie found
room, and installed herself therein.

How Deaf Mutes "Hear,' Music.

According to teachers Of deaf mutes,
musical instruction is more important
as an educational factor for the deaf
child than II is for the hearing. OF
course 1t Is doubtful If the totally deaf
child can lenrn to distinguish pitch or
tone, and dlscord from harmony, In
the accepted sense. But there is no
question that they feel music and that
1t stirs their emotions. In the New
York Institution for the Deaf, eye

rhythm arp all utilized.

Great Mountain plsappeared.

Oregon had at one time probably
before the dawn of life upon the
earth, Il great volcano which lowered
possibly 5000 feet above Mount Hood.
This was the great Mount Ma2ama.
But thousands Of years ago this noun
tain disappeared into the bowels of the
earth, and all that is left today is the
huge rim around Crater lake, Crater
lake IS the caldron of this extinct and
collapsed volcano and Is nearly six
miles In diameter. The inside walls of
the rim OF the ancient mountain are I'm
places nearly 1000 feet high and al
most perpendicular. The lake Itself is
In places 1000 feet deep, and parts of
the wall rise above Its waters 1000
feet more. A restoration Of the noun
tain In fancy, using rs basis the an
giles of the lower slopes, which still re-
main, shows that the apex could not
have been far from 10000 feet In
height, SO that Mount Mazama was one
Of the most lofty and majestic peaks
IN America.

the longer straw to the Ieraelites that

WAR CIOUD

My riend, let me tell you all Gods
way is not like war The Bible said
the Ethiopian shall stretch forth her
hand, and princes shall come out of
Egypt. Then, If We are believers in
the Bible, then let US look for better
friends. Let me call you to one
part of the Bible. Note the Sth chap
ter of Daniel: I'm the third year Of
the regn of king Belshazzar a vision
appeared unto me, even unto, me
Daniel, after that which appeared un-
to me at the first. And l saw in a
vision; and it came to pass, when
saw, that | was at Shushan in the
palace which is in the province Of
Elan; and | saw in a vision, and
was by the river Ulai. Then l lifted
up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold,
there stood before the river ram
which had two horns and the two
horns were high; but one was high
er than the other, and the higher
came up last. l saw the ram push
westwardm, and northward, and
southwark; 50 that no beasts might
stand before him, neither was there
any that could deliver out Of his
hand; but he did according to his
own will, and became great And as
was considering, behold he-goat
came from the wet on the whole
face of the earth, and touched not
the ground; and the goat had a
notable horn between his eyes. And
he came to the ram that had two
horns, which | had seen standing be-
fore the river, and ran into him in
the fury of his power And l saw
him come close unto the ram, and he
was moved with choler against him
and smote the ram, and brake his
two horns; and there was no power
| in the ram to stand before him, but
he cast him down to the ground, and
and stamped upon him; and there
was none that could deliver the ran
out of his hand" Therefore, my
friend, just look who is STANDING
with all the power, but the Germans
when they come they will not come
on the ground; but they have but
one horn because there is not but
one and they are coming and YET
the power looks impossible. But the
Bible must be fulfilled. SO look out
boys, God is for us if we will serve
him.
So we all ought to pay up if We
