The exhibition of homespuns, from the Stonehenge Village industry, at Lady Glenconner's house in Queen Anne's- gate is calculated to conjure up pleasant recollections for those who know Wiltshire well. There is a mar row, winding road. some eight miles in length. which connects Salisbury and Amesbury, but is not the high road. On it are threaded like jewels, four or five lovely villages. and it's way lies in tortuous valley. through which the Avon wanders.
 Ore of these villages is Lake, and it was from Lake that Miss Lovibond revived the Salisbury homespon in- dustry some 22 years ago. This lady's father had then lately purchased Lake House-one of the most perfect Ja- cobean buildings in England-from the Dukes. who had lived there for many generations.
 The little band of survivors of the Charge of the Light Brigade, which took place 65 years ago today, is grad ually dwindling.

Acid Stomach Makes Millions Old Before
 Their Time

The famous scientist, Prof. Metchnikoff, de- clared that people generally become decrepit- feeble, aged-years and years before their time that person ought to live well over hun dred years. He proved that the toxic pcisons which form in the intestines and cause auto intoxication had more to do with shortening life than anything else. Clean out these poisons and there is no reason why human beings should not live, hale, hearty, strong and vigor- GUS, a hundred years or more. Such is the doc Urine as taught by the noted MetchnikoH.
 What causes those toxic poisons--where do they come from-how do they get into the in- testinal tract? Science gives us an answer in one word-Acid-Stomach.
 Acid Stomach causes food fermentation; and it is this mass of partially digested sour, fermenting food passing through the intestines that creates toxic poisons that are absorbed into the blood and carried into every part of the system, causing long train of diseases and making millions of men and women feeble, haggard and old looking before their time when by right they should be strong, healthy, in the prime of life.
 Common sense tells us that in order to stop those toxic poisons forming in the intessines, you must get rid of the Acid-Stomach; just as

I have avera ge ihtelli- gence, but. believe me, this trying to keep up with the helpful hints the magazines are full of these financially short days has reduced my brain to a sort of pulp. l might just as well have my head filled with lemon jelly for all the good it does me"

 Nothing in particular and every thing in general" confded her caller. T thought I certainly had hit on some thing when I read about those million aires having all their discarded suits turned inside out by a tailor and made into perfectly grand new suits. be- cause my husband had just been wail- ing that his tailor had run up simple little business suits to $100. I was so excited I called Will on the telephone and you should have heard him! expect a bill collector had just been, in and ruffied him. He informed me that if his discarded suits were turned wrongside out there would still be as many holes on the wrong side as there were on the right. so he failed to see what any tailor not practicing magi- elan could do to revive them. and it would be more to the point for me to patch them up. That's the thanks you

 There would be many features in connection with oil buyfiing furnaces that would appeal tof householder and if fuel keeps mounting in price there may yet be more attention given to it than is now done as an emergeh cy idea But the price of oil is as much subject to change as coal and certainly any considerable amount re- quired for running furnaces would have it's effect in that direction.

where the demand for silver has grown enormously.
 The manufacture of munitions of
 war in India for the Eastern cam paigns necessitated huge additions to
 the silver currency wherewith to pay the native munition workers and the troops operating there.
 This, in turn, sent the price of sii- yer up, and the natives generally be- gan hoarding their rupees when they
 saw the metal of which they were made becoming so exceptionally val
 uable. Working at full pressure. the worlds silver mines have been una ble to meet the incessant demands on them. and the Indian government re- cently appealed to the United States
 to help them.
 In response to this appeal the United States government withdrew some | 400. .00o. 900 dollars from circulation, replacing them by currency notes, and l these coins were melted down and sent as silver bullion to India. But the na- l tives in the east continue to hoard | their silver coins. and with the metal l fetching over 5s. an ounce.4 as it has 1 this week. against 2s before the war, the intrinsic value of the 1S0 grains ot l silver in a rupee has appreciated from I 9d 10 Ia 1Od.-London, Chronicle.

THE DYE EMBARGO.

In the plan to protect the dyemak- ing interests in this country by mak- ing it impossible to bring foreign, and especially German. made dyes into the country. except in the case of those which are not produced here step is being taken in the right direction and every effort should he made to see that it is carried out at this session of congress.
 IL can be appreciated that there is S0ud chance that all the efforts and capital that have been expended in building up the d.'emalIing industry in this country since the opening of the war would bc wasted if we were to all low the importation of such goods from the same sources they were re- Ccived previously. Nothing is more rceded in this direction than the pro- lection of this new industry. one that we could have had long ago and would have had had there been the proper consideration and encouragement given to it.
 Europe knows what it can do in this direction. Germany will be ready to
 
 made and once the country is flooded with the foreign product it will be i'm possible for the domestic goods to compete herewith inasmuch as pro- ducers here cannot meet the conditions under which the same goods are pro- duced in Germany.
 We were caught unprepared as tc dye production. We demonstrated that we could meet the emergency. We have gotten to the point where we are not entirely Independent of foreigr production in the way of dyes ant chemicals, but nearly so. Unless wt want to undo all that has been done lwe should guard the domestic industry and make ourselves entirely independ ent in times of peace as well as dur i ing war.

SAYS L. :. MUST HAVE
MEANS FOR PROTECTION.

The United States should. more
over, have the means OF properly
protecting itself whenever our trade
is Disseminated against by foreign
nations, in. order that we may be
assured Of that equality of treatment
which We hope 10 accord and 10 pro
mote the world over. Our tariff laws
as they now stand provide no weapon
of retaliation in case other govern
ments should enact legislation un-
equal in its bearing on our products
as compared with the products Of
other countries. Though we are as
far as possible from desiring TO en-
ter upon any course of retaliation,
we must frankly face the fact that
hostile legislation by other nations
is not beyond the range Of POSSIBLE
ity, and that il may have TO be met
10y counter legislation. This subject
has fortunately been exhaustively in
vestigated by the United States tariff
com mission. A recent report Of that
com mission has shown very clear
ly that we lack and ought to have
the instruments necessary for the
assurance OF equal and equuabl
treatment. The attention Of congress
has been called TO this matter on

MUST NOT MAKE TAXES
BURDEN ON PUBLIC.

The main thing we shall have to
care for is that our taxation shall
rest as lightly as possible on the pro-
ductive resources Of the country;
that it's rates shall be stable and that
it shall be constant in its revenue
yielding power. We have found the
main sources from which it must be
drawn. ! take it for granted that
its mainstays will hencefOrth be the
income tax, the excess profits tax,
and the estate tax. All these can be
so adjusted to yield constant and
adequate returns and yet not consti-
tute a too grievous burden on the
taxpayer. A revision of the income
tax has already been provided for by
the act of 1918, but / think you will
find that further changes can be
made to advantage both in the rates
of the tax and in the method Of its
collection. The excess profits tax
need not long be maintained at the
rates which were necessary while the
enormous expenses of the war had
to be borne; but it should be made
the basis of a permanent system
which will reach undue profits with
out discouraging the enterprise and
activity of our business men. The
tax on inheritances ought, no doubt.
to be reconsidered in its relation to
the fiscal systems Of the several
states, but il certainly ought to re-
main a permanent part of the fiscal
system Of the federal government
also.
