.TARDTEU NOTED
 TASTY RETREAT

Washington, Aug 10.-Back from a trip through French territory taken from the Germans in the Aisne-Marne drive, Andre Tardieu, High Commits sloner Of France to the United States, has informed the commissions head quarters here of his satisfaction over what he saw.
 "On the. 4th," said M. Tardieu's cablegram, as made public. T went with M. Clemenceau to Soissons, and in the whole reconquered region. It is indisputabIe and 1t must be empha- sized that there has been not a Ger man withdrawal followed by French reoccupation, but a German with drawel froced by French victory.
 "The fights of Aug. 1 and were especially hot. The prisoners gath cred during those two days declared that they had received the order to hold their lines at any price. The heaps of ammunition which I have seen on the spot are proving the con- fusion and the rout. The Germans did not have time enough either to destroy the bridges nor to cut the roads.
 "Soissons had been taken in the night of Friday to Saturday, and or Sunday we reached the place in a mo- tor car, which demonstrates the haste of the retreat.
 ''The German morale seems shat tered. From July 1 f up to the pres. ent time there have been engaged 1OC German divisions, of which the most part are worn out.
 'Prisoners report quarrels among Bavarians. The inhabitants of Oul l chy-le-Chateau have seen the Ger. mans leave in column formation shouting 'tNach Berlinu' (Off to Der. lin!") and in Soissons three very oIt inhabitants only remained. The des perate efforts of the Germans to draE | them along with them prove thei | anxiety not to leave behind an! source of information. They hay, for the same purpose taken ava! their dead"

FAvORITES FAIL
 TO WIN A RACE
Westy Hogan Easily Defeats Naturalist by 6 Lengths
 Other Favorites Lose.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 10-For the first time since racing opened here the thoroughbreds were compelled to run over a sloppy track yesterday with the result that every favorite in the fiat races was beaten. Horses select ed for their ability to run in the mud met their match with great regularity. The most noticeable instance was when Joseph E. Widener's Naturalist, a mudder, with a great reputation, had to give way to the speed of Will fred Viau's Westy Hogan in the Glens Falls Handicap at a mile.
 Westy Hogan won his first race since the Viau horses have been in care of Sandy McNaughton, and was as cratic as ever. He was soundly beaten, with Byrno in the saddle in the Delaware Handicap last Tuesday, but was a different horse yesterday, with little Hummer, the stable jockey, in the saddle. Westy Hogan outran Crank, which led out of the chute tear along the back stretch with Nat uralist, the favorite, in third place.
 Naturalist was able to pass Crank easily enough, but Westy Hogan was a different proposition, and he drew further away so that he had an ad- vantage of three lengths entering the home stretch. Ensor was whipping Naturalist all through the stretch, but in vain, for Westy Hogan splashed along to win by six lengths.
 | Captain RaI Parr's Robert Oliver was a dependable odds-on-choice in one of the queerest steeplachases ever run. There were only three starters, | and Early Light and Robert Oliver were following the pace set by Red dest, when the latter refused thel iver- | pool the first time round. He stopped dead in front of the others, and all i three jockeys swung their mounts around the wing.
 | Allen, on Robert Oliver, was the l first to turn back into the course, and went along then to make his own pace. All went smoothly until Red- l dest reached the liverpool the second time. Robert Oliver was safely over
 so that when Reddest repeated his
 error and refusd again he had nly
 Early Lieght to follow his cratic ex-
 ample. By the time the pair got
 back into the course Robert Oliver
 was hundred lengths ahead, and he had only to gallop to the finish.

TAXON EXPENSIVE. CLOTHING IS VOTED.
House Committee Would Levy 20 Per Cent. on Mems
 Suits Over $50.

Washington, Aug. 10.---The Ways and Means Committee, proceeding with it's first draft of the new revenue law, again dIverged widely from Treasury Department views in the tentative decision reached yesterday on luxury taxes. Instead of adhering to the suggested luxury taxes sub- mitted by the Treasury the commit tee adopted the report of the Hull subcommittee, considerably modify ing that schedule.
 The report is the final one of the subcommittee, but Is incomplete. However, the report established this principle of luxury tax which will probably be followed: Articles which are luxurIes per SC are to be taxed 10 per cent. of their wholesale selling price and "semi-luxuries" are ito be taxed 20 per cent. on the portion of the retail selling price above definite amounts, which amounts will be writ ten into the new law. In the class of semi-lUxuries these taxes were tentatively written into the bill yesterday:
 Twenty per cent. of the portion of the price of mems suits above $50. Twenty per cent. of the portion of the price of women's suits above $60.
 Twenty per cent. of the portion of the price of women's skirts above $50. Twenty per cent. of the portion of the price of mems shoes above ST.. Twenty per cent. of the portion of the price of women's shoes above $9. | A tax on the price of overcoats above a certain price, but it could not be learned whether this price was $3C or $40.
 Uniforms for the army and navy are exempted from this tax. 1 The suggestion of the Treasury that a tax be placed on the employment of more than one servant was disregard ed.
 In addition to the luxury schedule the committee tentatively decided on the following:
 Creation of an advisory tax board of five members.
 Doubling the tax on issues of cap itaI stock and removal of the exemp- tion of $99,O0O of tax free stock now ir effect.
 Legalizing the use of Liberty bonds as security for contracts, persona bonds and the like.
 The five members of the advisory tax board would all be appointed b! the President, subject to confirmation by the Senate.
 Each would be paid 5000 a year Incidentally the committee decided t make the salary of Commissioner o Internal Revenue Collector $10,0OO in ctaod of e6 000 ac nOw
 The new board will replace the ex cess profits advisory board, volun teer organization. MT. Kitchin eX plained the duties of the board.
 "The advisory tax board will revie1 and consider all matters submitted t it by the Commissioner of 1nterna Revenue,'' said he.
 Doubling the tax on original stoc issues will bring into the Treasur
 ;S55, ,OO0, ,0OO, or more than double tn present receipts, the committee esti mated. The new tax is to be $1 o each S1,0OO of original stock issued b any corporation, association or reor ganization. The present exemption i abolished.

MILFORD FIFE is NOW A
SALT LAKE FIREM AN

The editor of The Record ran into
MILFORD Fife on Main street, Salt Lake
City, last week. At first we hardly
knew him in the elegant uniform of
blue with big brass buttons, and we
in surprise enqured what branch of
the army he had enlisted for. A
closer scrutiny of the buttons on his
coat, however, disclosed that he was
a member of the fire department.
MILFORD is feeling and looking fine,
and certainly makes striking APP
pearance in the handsome livery. He
says that Mrs. Fife is with him and
that they like life in Salt Lake first
class, The job of fireman has been a
pretty smooth one the past six months
MILFORD says, though, of course, there
is always the possibility of hazardous
work ahead of them,

MORE POULTRY AND EGGS
NEEDED TO FEED NATION

Our nation is short Of animal foods.
Production has been steadily decreas-
ing while the world requirements are
greater than ever before.
Our supply of poultry and eggs can
be increased more quickly than any
other class of animal foods. In fact
they are the only animal foods that
can be materially increased for 1913
consumption. Our government is
therefore depending upon them to take
the place on our tables Of the red
meats which must be sent to our sold
iers and associates in the war.
The food administrator says, eve
are advocating in every household, ev-
cry hotel, and every restaurant, the
substitution of poultry for red meat.
Increased production of poultry can
be affected much faster than beef,
pork, and mutton. While we want an
increase in the latter, we must have
quick response in poultry produc-
ton"
At present Utah is producing only
about half the poultry and eggs con-
sumed in the state. We must supply
our own needs at least in order ia
release all the surplus from other
states to the great industrial centers
and relieve the railroad equipment
now used for importing these pro-
ducts for the other urgent needs OF
our nation.
To obtain the increase needed. our
government has adopted the slogan
of one hundred hens on every farm
as minimum flock, and dozen hens
in every city or town back yard, Will
you help Utah do her share?
The Government will furnish from
time to time during the year, season.
able information to all who fill out
and return the cards mailed broadcast
to citizens of the state, bearing upor
the question of poultry production.

TEXAS MAN DRIVES
THIRTY-FIVE MILES
FOR MORE TANLAC
Wealthy Planter and Merchant Says
Wife Had Rheumatism SO Bad She
Couldn't Straighten Out Fingers.

81 have come thirty-five miles in

Lochridge, wealthy planter and mer-
chant of Lochridge, Texas, while in
Kiesling's Drug Store at Houston a
few days ago.
my wife suffered with indigestion
six years and for the past five or six
months has been troubled a great
deal with rheumatism. Her lower
limbs would swell twice their normal
size and she could not begin to get
her shoes on. The suffering in her
hands was terrible and her fingers
were bent just like claw and she
couldn't straighten them out. Could
hardly eat thing and suffered ter
ribly with gas and severe pains in all
her limbs and stomach. She was on
a diet and even that hurt her and the
only relief she could get from the gas
was by taking cooking soda. She
tried everything that money could
buy without getting any relief
"Then she started taking Tanlac
and commenced to feel better on the
first bottle and she has improved so
fast that l can hardly realize it. She
has just finished her second bottle
and there's not particle of swelling
in her limbs now. She can wear her
shoes now and her fingers are per-
fectly straight. She can eat three
square meals day now and is as ac-
tive and well as anybody. She came
to Houston with me today in my car
thirty-five miles. She was not at all
tired when we got here. She can now
go anywhere and is getting around
over the city like she did years ago :"
Tanlac is sold in Cedar City by the
