The horrible prophecy and the ghost of her past haunt her throughout the play, one of the most impressive which Paralta has yet produced.

DISCUSS TAXING
 OF COTTON AS A
 REVENUE MEASURE
Pensylvanian Sugge e s t s Such Action in Discussion
 of New War Taxation.

Washington, June 7.-Represen- tative Moore, of Pennsylvania, Re publican, declared today cotton taxes would be Hive subject" in drafting the revenue bill. Cotton, he said, had been source of great profit and would be fruitful revenue source,
 Hearings preliminary to framing a new war revenue bill designed to raise one third pf the nations ex penses lby taxation were begun by the house ways and means committee to- day. Thomas c. Marvin of Boston, representing the Home Market Club, the first witness, advocated raising several million dollars more revenue by increased import duties.
 Bejamin c. Marsh, of the Farmers National Committee on War Finance asked a heavier tax in oncomes and Representative Albert. Johnson, of Washington, presented plan for graduated taxes on second class mail matter.
 MT. Marsh said that during the war no patriot would want an income Of more than $5O,OOO.
 "On the basis of 1916 income tax returns if we take all incomes over $5O,0QO. some 9,199 persons would pay $1,68O, ,000,OO0," he said. '"A heavy tax on lower incomes would yield ap- proximately $1,SO0, ,000,O00. From in come taxes therefore, at least $3,4S0,- 100000 can be secured. =.
 During 1916 the net taxable in come or corporations in the country was nearly sS,7OO,OOO, ,OO0 at least half of which should be taken" {:

To Cut Paper.

When you lose your knife or do not have a pair of scissors at hand for cut ling the paper a common pin or needle of any kind serves the purpose admir-. ably. says Popular Science Monthly. If 1t Is single sheet from which the clipping is to be removed, lay the part on another paper, hold the pin slant wise so that ths point will follow around the clipping, just as if tracing Its outline. Pass back over the scratch with the point in the lead and you will be surprised how smoothly the pin cuts the paper.

sedassa 2ostry.

Poetry like every great force. has followed sn evolution of its own, and as 1t comes to US today we may trace in 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex- precision of broad communal or na- eional feeling, and expresses now far moro than 1t did. in far more subtle and intricate directions, the feelings of the individual. If 1t gives voice on public, national or International events 1t does so from a far more specialized and personal point of view than of ole. and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of the party politician. The strength of mod ern poetry hardly seems to He foS the future In this direction.

COMFORT KITS FOR SOME ONES BOYS

Since the order of the Post Office Department restricting the shipment of mail parcels to individual soldiers at the front was issued March 29, many parents have been prevented from sending comforts to their boys because they are not aware that the Red Cross will help in this matter of aiding the boys. The Red Cross makes the following statement:
 'It should be remembered that the Red Cross will accept such articles as are suitable for shipment iii bulk to soldiers and for furnishing comfort kits that the Red Cross is supplying. This will enable each individual con tributing articles to feel that while his particular gift may not reach the the soldier or sailor in which he is especially interested, yet in the gener- al distribution of thise articles all soldiers will benefit"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To keep mold from gathering on canned fruit or preserves, cut a piece of letter paper to fit the top of jar or can and wet well in alcohol or brandy, and no mold will gather.
 To clean painted walls dissolve two ounces of borax in two quarts of water and add one tablespoonful of ammonia Use half this quantity to each bucket of water do not use soap. Waash a small amount of the paint at a time and rub dry with a clean cloth.
 Ink stains may be removed from polished wood (table top or desk) by rubbing with soft cloth wet with sweez milk. Use light colored cloth and turn to clean portion as it becomes soiled, so you will not be rubbing tho stain back on. If it is an old stain pour on enough milk to cover and let stand a few minutes. Repeat if necessary. Persistency will usually remove the most obstinate spots.
 Dainty linen table accessories are given more thought than usual since handsome pieces have been imported from Italy and elsewhere, tempting women to open wide their purse strings, and also since it has grown fashionable to serve breakfast and luncheon on a polished table with only doilies to protect the wood finish from being marred by the dishes. l Ice cream is very cooling if you d. not overeat and then go out in the hot sun for this contains starch, milk or cream and much sugar, all ot which are heat producers.

TO SAVE GAS.

When baking pies, don't light oven till they are ready to bake, then light both jets full force, place pies on bot tom of oven. When done on the bot tom, take them out and turn jets al- most off, then place them in the broiler oven, where the top crust will then bake nice brown. This Is tried and proved a great gas saver. Cake can also be baked quicker by placing on the rack about half way down in oven, then when it is cooked on bot tom and leaves sides of pan take out and turn one jet out and other nearly out, then finish baking in the broiler oven.
 Beans can be baked in this oven while bread, etc, is baking in other one; also boiled dinner, or any meat requiring long cooking.
