DANCES PAY WAR TAN.
Boys and Girls Who Indulge Must
Add Their Bit to War Fund.

Dubuque, Nov. 12.-Wihle the
boys somewhere in France" won't
get a chance for many day, maybe
to dance with the girls they1left be-
hind them, they'll be getting some
good out of the dance anyhow. For
when the girls go to a dance with
the home guard" the home guard"
will have to pay a war tax on their
pleasure. The tax which affects adj
missions to theaters affects dances
also, admission paid roller Kinks,
and every place to which admission
is charged. Collector of Internal
Revenue Louis Murphy said that
wherever an admission is charged
for dance the person buying the
ticket will have to pay war tax of
cent on each 10 cents on the admis-
sion. The individuals or organiza-
tion giving the dance will have to
turn over the tax to the collectors
office, precisely as required of the
theater men. The collector wants the
name and address of every organi-
cation giving dances to which adj
mission is charged at the door, or
the names and addresses of individ-
uals giving dances. Moreover, he
wants owners of town halls and
theatres who have received no COM
munication from his Office to put
themselves in correspondence with
him at once, since taxes must be paid
on every admission they charge.
This goes, too, for wrestling matches
aid other sports and athletic games.
The only exceptions are games, ex-
hibitions and plays, or dances, the
entire net proceeds of which inure
exclusively to the benefit of rei-
gious, educational or charitable or
CARNATIONS or societies.

lenient lines promoted much short COW

In this particular department did not
inspire buying Of consequence in other
industrial shares. and final prices in
most instances showed but slight varia-
ton. compared with yesterdays closing
quotations. In direct contrast to the
form displayed in the industrial shares
was that exhibited in the railroad quar-
ter Of the list. where in many instances
sharp declines were recorded. It is on
ly natural to believe that considering
heavier expenses incurred through tho
working Of the Adamson 8-hour nav and
other high operating costs that No -
turns will probably compare rather un-
favorably with that Of heretofore. On
this theory. much selling was INDUCED
in and the lowest prices for many Is
sues recorded in some Of the so-called
coaler shares. It Is to be expected
that the industrial shares will exhibit
rather Indifferent price tendencies ana
be guided chiefly by the doing at Waah-;

all this constipation poison, sour bile

Turkeys mature slowly, and for this
reason it is preferable to select for
breeders hens from two to four years
cid mated with two or three year toms.
Old hens lay larger eggs, and their
poults are not only larger but stronger
than poults from immature stock Do
not inbred, or mate related stock to-
gether. Medium-sized birds, plump,
fine In bone, active and vigorous are
best. Mate one tom with about ten
hens.
A shed open on the south side, and
closed otherwise to afford protection
from the weather, is an ideal house.
Do not keep turkeys with chickens in
clese, poorly ventilated houses.
