To Collect Under Old Law.

Although the committee now practi-
ca1ly has completed the Senate reve-
nue bill, 1t became known yesterday
that the internal revenue bureau has
almost despaired of the enactment OF
the measure before January 1, and has
made full plans for collection of taxes
under the old law, by which it is as
timated only $4,000, 100000 would be
produced next year.
The old law, which remains effec-
tive until repealed by the new reve-
nue. bill, specifically enjoins the COM
missioner Of. internal revenue to
prepare forms for use of taxpayers
to report their incomes. profits and
other taxable matters between Janu-
airy and March !.
Chairman Simmons plan for 1920
revenue was adopted without change.
It's provision for reduction from IL
to per cent in the normal rates on
individual incomes also provides that
the rate shall DO per cent In 1919
and per cent in 1920 on the first
= 900 Of taxable income.
Chairman Simmons said Secretary
MoAdoo does not approve the 1920
program in it's entirety, as he desired
higher normal rates to continue on
both individual and corporation incomes,
and also opposed continuation of the ex-
cess profits taxation plan.

Mr.. McAdoo also disclosed yester-
day that the governments expenses
this month probably will run to new
high record Of $4,000, 000,0 900, and that
1.-THE wise policy of prompt liquidation

In this connection, 1t became known
that the Treasury Department had adj
vised the War and Navy departments
that it would be legal and desirable in
many cases to pay lump sums to man
ufacturers with whom contracts are
Cancelled to cover loss suffered by the
contractors for countermanded orders.
Legislation may be necessary, how
ever. to provide for paying claims of
manufacturers who have proceeded on
telegraphic or letter instructions from
the War and Navy departments and
have not actually signed formal con-
tracts.
The Senate finance committee adopt
ed amendments perfecting the pro-
gram for raising $4,000, 100000 in 1919.
BY q strict party vote it formally ap-
proved Of Senator Simmons plan to
raise $4,000, 100000 in 1920 through re-
duction of individual and corporation
income rates, elimination of the war
profits tax. and reduction Of the ex-
cess profits rates. Chairman Simmons

NEcKwEAR FRILLs.

There Is SO much attractive new
neckwear that it Is really difficult to
pin ones self down to a reasonable
choice. OF course. 1t is not all becom-
ing to everybody. but 1t is all tempting.
and the choice must be made with care
that the neckwear is becoming.
One of the newest things. perhaps, is
the stock and frill idea-that is. some
sort Of stock collar with frilled tabot
attached, that suggests the old-fash- =
ioned mans ruffied shirt. There are
sometimes wrist frills to SO with these
sets.
One OF the new collars consists Of a
stock of black satin. unrelieved BY any
white, to which is attached a big jabot
of fine-meshed cream -colored net, edged
with lace. The effect is decidedly
smart. although the absence of any
white in the stock might not be well
borne by some faces.
Another unusual use Of black in COL
lars is to be found in a ruff1ed collar
that opens in front with the. usual v
line, and Is made of white organdie
edged with narrow black lace. Doubt
less black lace as a trimming to white
organdie will be seen again and again
in smart neckwear in the coming
spring.

Mr.. GoshaWk's Warm Recep-
tiOn.

Mr. Goshawk. the gray terror, was
to sit still. Here it was daylight and it
had been daylight for some time, and
yet though he had twice flown high
enough in the air to see Farmer Browns s
barnyard there had been no sign of the
hens or the pigeons he had expected to
see there. 1t was provoking. 1t was
worse than provoking. You see he had
set his heart on a breakfast of chicken
or pigeon, he didn't care which. He had
set his heart Cor should I say stom-
ach?) on that breakfast and he was
hungry and growing hungrier every
minute. Yet there was no breakfast in
sight. He didn't understand it.
But the reason was very simple.
Farmer Browns boy had shut the
pigeons and the hens in the day pre-
vious and he had not let them out yet.
Nor did he intend to let them out right
away. You see he suspected that Mr..
Goshawk would seek his breakfast in
the barnyard IL the chickens and ths
pigeons were allowed out, and SO for
their own good he kept them shut up.
That is, he kept all but one shut up.
That one was an old hen who had
nearly outlived her usefulness. Some
time after he. had finished his own
breakfast and done his morning work
he took this particular biddy in his
arms and carried her out in the barn
ward, With a short piece of string he
fastened her by a leg to the fence, threw
handful of corn in front of her to
keep her contented. and then went into
the barn, the door of which he left open
a little way. Just inside he sat down

perhaps later he would have another
chance. So Mr.. Goshawk headed straight
for the barnyard. Not a living thing
was in sight, but that old hen pickin g
up corn. There was no sign Of Farmer
Browns Boy. Mr.. Goshawk set his
wings and shot down.
Something warned Mrs. Biddy. She
looked up and then with frightened
shrek started to run. OF course, the
string by which she was tied brought
her up short and she fell in a hutter-
ing heap. The great cruel claws Of Mr.
Goshawk were already set to seize her
when suddenly there was a flash OF
fire from a doorway of the barn. It was
followed by another. Bang! bang! roar
ed terrible gun. Something that stung
hit Mr.. Goshawk. This and the sudden
fright caused by the flashes and the
noise made him miss Mrs. Biddy alto
eether. In great haste he set his big
wings in motion and hurried to get
away. He didn't like such a warm re-
ception.

START THE DAY RIGHT
WITH GOOD BREAKFAST

Fruit helps to keep your body in good
health and prevents constipation. Use
it whenever possible.
Use prunes. dried apples and dried
apricots. Soak them in water overnight
and cook them long enough to make
them tender.
Use dates and raisins. These are good
added to the cereal ten minutes before
taking it from the stove. Then you will
not need sugar.
Use ripe bananas with dark skins.
Bananas with greenish-yellow skins are
hard to digest unless cooked.
Use Cereals.
Corn meal mush, oatmeal, rice. hominy
<grits). .. -; !asi
Corn meal mush and oatmeal are good
only when cooked. Many people use too
little salt and don't cook them long
enough.
To cook corn meal mush for five people
use one and one-half cups corn meal,
two teaspoons salt QeveD, five or six
cups water. Bring salted water to a
boil. Stir in the corn meal slowly. Don't
let it lump. Cook it at least thirty
minutes. 1t is better when cooked for
three hours, or overnight. Use a double
boiler on the back Of the stove, or a
fireless cooker.
For oatmeal use two and one-half
cups rolled oats. two and one-half tea
Bring the water to boil. Stir the rolled
oats slowly into the boiling water and
cook for one hour or overnight.
Eat the cereal with milk or sirup or
butter or butter substitutes. You don't
need bread besides.
A large amount of corn meal or oat-
meal may be cooked at one time. The
