NOW, THEN; YOU'RE A

WASHINGTON, d. c., May S.-Three
courses will be the maximum, even for
formal dinners in the United States,
while the nation is at war, if the wo-
men follow the lead of the first lady of
the land. White House banquets, in
the past noted for their extravagant
elegance, have been placed on war
footing Instead of the usual seven to
ten courses, only three were served to
the visiting English and French COM
missions at two dinners rivaling in
Importance and Formally any ever
served in America. The menus for
both dinners included an appetizer of
tomatoes with anchovies; plain soup.
fllet of beef with peas and potatoes:
salad, ice cream and coffee and cigars.
The dinners were in line with the pol
icy of economy recently announced by
Mrs. Wilson, and the wives of the cab

COTTON DEALERS PROTEST
AGAINST PROPOSED TAX OF
$3.50 A BALE ON THE STAPLE

ATLANTA, Ga, May S.-Atlanta cot
ton dealers have joined their protest
with that of dealers in other cities
against the proposal in the ways and
means committee of the national house
OF representatives to help raise war
revenue by levying tax of $3.50 a
bale on cotton.
In this connection it is pointed out
by former Governor John M. Slaton
that already the government is taxing
the Southern cotton planter, indirectly,
it is true, but no less effectually, by the
tax on oleomargarine, which is made
from a base of cotton seed oil. The
proposal in congress to lay a direct
Ter bale tax on cotton is not accom-
panied by any similar proposal to tax
corn or wheat or pork or beef, al
though clothing is equally as essential
as food and cotton is an indispensable
| ingredient in the manufacture of high
explosives. In the spring of 1914 when
it was proposed to limit cotton acre
age by legislative enactment, Slaton,
then governor, threw the whole of his
influence against it, and the idea was
soon abandoned
Cotton dealers of New Orleans, Au-
eusta and other large markets besides
Atlanta, have sent their vigorous pro-
tests to Washington, and it is believed
here that general action of similar
nature, taken throughout the South,
will put on end to the proposal now
before the ways and means committee
Of the national house,

PING BODIES RECIPE
FOR "FENCE BUSTING
BY Fl. C. HAMILTON.

| NEW YORK, May S.-If you have an
ambition to attain fame almost as great
and as lasting as that of President
of the United States all that is neces-
sary is to outguess the pitcher, grab
your bat like it was your last dime,
and sling with all your might. Then
hope and hope hard.
That's Ping Bodies recipe for bust
irg the fences in any league where he
may happen to be playing. Inasmuch
as it has brought him back to the
American league and chance at more
fame as a big league outtielder there
nut be some truth in it.
Ping says swing hard the first time,
go into second speed on the second,
and then if you've got to do it again,
turn on all the gas, jam down the &C
celerator and Swing!
Ping cracked out twenty home runs
while amassing batting average of
something over 800 last year on the
Pacific coast. He already has started
the terrible bat working on rivals of
the Philadelphia Athletics, and his
work has biven the Mack pupils some
respect this year.
Its all in the way you grab your
bat and swing" said Ping. THE pitcher
who can throw harder than | can swing
amt been found. If you miss the first
two, whang again, and you've got to
take Old Man Confidence tC the plate
with you.
You gotta think you're going to
make the fences rattle, or you're done
for Watch the pitcher, outguess him,
and you've only gotta hang onto your
bat like grim death and swing your
head off to set a new ground record"
That was the advice he passed out d
year ago when he was telling Bobby
Jones how to make good as Tiger.
How do you bunt?" Bobby wanted
to know.
| How do | bunt ?-search me. l never
tried it" Ping responded after period
of grave reflection.

Valuable Advice for Madison Readers

Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of back
ache, pains about the hips, blue. ner-
Vous spells, dizziness and bladder
disorders, hopeless of relief because
she doesn't know what is the matter.
1t is not true that every pain i'm
the back or hips is trouble peculiar
to the sex" Often when the kidneys
get congested and inflamed, such
aches n pains follow.
In many cases there are bladder

dull, languid feeling. Help the weak
ened kidneys. Don't expect them to
get well alone.
