 By Assocrated Press

Chicago, December 2S.-Fermented and distilled liquor taxes collected by the government in 1919 were s4SS, ,050.- S54.47, according to report made pub lie today by the local office of the in- ternal revenue bureau. The. total revenue collected was given as $3,S50,- 150,07S.56, as compared with $S09,393,- 640.44 in 1917 The big increase in the biennial was largely due to the income and excess profits taxes.
 Numerous advantages are claimed by it's Michigan inventor for six-wheeled motor truck steered by the forward and rear wheels at the same time.

 ported more long tons of commod- ities to the west coast of South America than they imported from those countries. The result was underloading of north / bound ships. In 1914 the total United States exports to the west coast amounted to 1,O84, ,045 long tons, whereas in 1918 imports totaled 846,65 long tons. War conditions reversed this balance of ton mage, the United States imports from the west coast in 1918 being 1895, ,99O long tons, as against ,023, ,427 tons of exports thereto. The chief cause for the change was the increased importation of nitrate from Chile and cacao from Ecuador.
 Imports into the United States from the west coast countries during a number of years were of the greatest total value in the months of June, July and August.
 April, May, June, July and August wit messed the greatest activity in nitrate ship ments with fluctuating increases from May to November, 1918, the demand sud- denly dropping off during the latter month, due to the cessation of hostiities in Europe, and the consequent lessened demand for nitrates at munitions plants
 More copper comes to the United States from the Pacific South American countries in the month of December, while { January June and September show high averages. In 1918 the months of Febru- ary, April and August were noticeably active, with an uninterrupted decline un- til the end of the year.
 Cacao Ecuador's principal item of ex- port, does not indicate a reasonable va riation. The harvesting season is in June and December, but stocks are stored to await favorable prices, which accounts for the practical uniformity of shipments throughout the year.
 Exports from the United States to the west coast consist principally of manufac- tured commodities and are not subject to the seasonal variations noted in the i'm ports from those countries
 The figures used in this series of arti- cles were taken from the report of the United States shipping board published in it's July 15, 1919, report, and the shipping board obtained it's data from reports pub lished by the United States department of commerce. They therefore, are as ac- curate as it is possible to make them
 They show what commodities made or produced in the United States are most in demand in South America and also the commodities that the South Americans have to exchange from them.
 This series of articles on South Amer ican trade was written with the hope that they might stimulate, to slight degree at least, interest among Birmingham manu- facturers and producers in that trade. There has been more or less talk in recent months of an active and concerted effort

ColOred breakfast linen is in favor.
Square cloths which hang only few
inches over the edge of the table and
small napkins, about IA inches square,

Already the showcases in ribbon de-
partments prophesy the coming of the
holidays, for a lot Of new and beau
tiful articles for wear and for house
hold use have made their appearance.
Lingerie ribbons, hair bows, shopping
bags and many other kinds of bags,
slippers and sashes are always in de-
mand, but they grow in Importance
with the approach of the holidays,
since nothing is liked better for gifts.
This year will see them more popular
than ever because they are less extrav-
agantly priced than other gifts that
have equal charm.
All women like pretty furbelows and
therefore they choose them as gifts
for their friends. The pretty lingerie
bows, carriers, rosettes, clasps, sachet
and powder bags-and other bits OF
finery made of ribbons require time
and painstaking care and these add
more value to exquisite little gifts
than can be measured In dollars and
cents. A few of the novelties which
will figure in this years holiday dis
plays are shown in the picture above
At the center of the group there is
a shower rosette made of narrow satin
ribbon, usually in pink, but pretty in
any light color. The rosette is made
of many knotted loops varying IL

Dinner and evening gowns, perhaps
as the result Of reaction after the
restraint of war times, have swung to
the other extreme and are as elabo-
rate as ingenuity can make them, and
rich beyond anything that has gone
before for many a year. Cloth OF
gold and silver, satins with gold or
silver figures scattered over their sur
faces, brocades, rich embroiderles
studded with jewels, laces and nets
that are a mass Of twinkling Sequins,
fringes Of all kinds, and always more
gold and silver cloth, entice those who
are looking for regal things to choose
from. Metallic threads are woven in
with silk in all the lovely evening
shades so that rose and silver, tur-
ouoise and gold, nile green and silver
make wonderful shimmering cloths.
Wherever fashionables fOregather there
will be much glittering this winter.
And these rich fabrics are not mo-
nopolized by the full-hedged women OF
society. The younger set is allowed
them as the foundation for frocks
usually yelled with tulle. Artificial
flowers deck out pretty dance frocks
and sparkling bands Of sequins in al
colors are used on tulle to match IL
color. For older women ostrich plume'

for flowers. and are used in the eve

straight lines are emphasized by small
tucks at each side of the coat, but a
narrow belt of the material adjusts
them to the figure in a way that is
easy and smart.
In the suit at the right there is a
revelation of the liking for fancier
designs in tailored clothes. Oddities
of cut, with new fabrics and new col
ors, make strong appeal to individ-
ual taste and account for many I'M
usual designs. Duvetyn, peachblow,
velours and similar cloths are favored
for suits of this character, and trico-
tine is best liked for the palmer mod
els, although this is no hard-and-fast
rule. Brown, taupe, reindeer, dark
green, besides navy, are fashionable
colors with which collars and cuffs OF
seal or beaver, squirrel and kolinsky
look particularly well. In the suit
shown here Hudson seal makes deep
cuffs and a choker that will Justify the
added expensiveness of furs, which Is
considerable this year, by doing duty
with other costumes. Very small tucks
and very large buttons invite consid-
Grafton as trimming.

In the assemblage of coats for little
girls certain kinds of cloth and certain
STYLES are set aside for children from
four years old upward to misses Of
seventeen. Warmth, protection against
rain and snow, and durability are the
f'rst consideration in girls coats and
all these things have been looked al
fer in the models presented for this
season. Prices have advanced as sharp
lv on children coats as they have on
shoes and Baby Bunting's father could
hardly be more profitably employed
than when he goes hunting for rabbit
skins to wrap the baby up in. Rabbit

For school wear there are heavy

Maid on the other, that are warm anu

less than cloth ones, will help solVe

The following simple recipes have
no harmful ingredients and will &C
complishf results as well as ready
mixed remedies for the same ailments
An Astringent Cream.
A well-recommended astringent
cream is made from four ounces of
mutton tallow, one and a quarter
ounces Of glyeerin, one-half a dram
of tincture of benzoin, quarter OF
dram of spirits of camphor, one-eighth
Of dram of powdered alum, one-quar-
ter of a dram of Russian isinglass and
one-half an ounce of rose water. The
rose water is warmed in a china cup
set In hot water and the isinglass is
dissolved in it. The mutton tailoW'
which has previously been tried out
at a gentle heat and added to the gly-
cerin, is then blended with the rose
water. and the other ingredients are
added while the mixture is being
beaten. This makes a cream which Is
astringent, Tightening the skin, with
out allowing it to become fabby, as
often happens when one is reducing
| flesh.
Recedlng Gums.
Good teeth are requisite for both
health and good looks. Go to dentist
and have the tartar removed from I'm
der and around the gums, then use
table salt on the gums several times
a day. Scrub the teeth downward
never crosswise. The teeth should be
cleaned before breakfast, after each
meal and before retiring.
For Slight Scar.
Spirits of camphor, touching the
skin with it twice a day, will some
times eradicate the spots left from
pimples. The liquid should be gently
rubbed in.
To Remove Corns.
Salicyclic acid, dram; trim thu
corn with a very sharp knife or razol
blade. Apply the acid; cover with
piece of court plaster. In three day
remove the plaster and the corn viii
come with it. Soft corns may be cure'

In suits. as in frocks and hats, there
Is a considerable variety in styles to
choose from this season. But these
differences are not very apparent UNI
iii one has given suits a more than
CASUAL study; they lie in small de-
tails Of design. At the beginning OF
the season suits presented coats both
short and long, but the longer coats
have persisted and are accepted.
skirts are wider and have gradually
grown little shorter than In the
early models. A happy medium is al
wavs a safer choice in street clothes,
INIT the item Of becomingness is more
important than any other and there Is
suft for every figure this season.
Women should find themselves more
,becomingly clothed than in seasons
where styles are less varied; at pres
Ont there is every chance to suit In
dividual taste.

plumes big and little, hong and short.
1t returns from a Punishment that
lasted several seasons.
Velvet and long mapped beaver
make the pretty hat with big, SOFT
crown, at the left Of the gbup. An
embroidered pattern at the right side
of the crown and a sash of narrow SILK
and gold ribbon around it are all that
it needs for trimming.
The hat at the right is one Of the
smartest for a marion. 1t is rather
intricate as to brim, and has a light
draped crown-al1 Of velvet. A rib
bon is tied about the crown, ending
in bow at the front in a manner Sc
simple and so artful that it bespeaks
the hand of an artist. Three tall
glycerined ostrich plumes are mounted
at the back.
The last hat recalls the Napoleon
shape and employs velvet in two col
ors-black on the upturned brim anC
silver gray on the crown. Lengthwis'

between them proclaim this a mem

soft linen rag which has been satu-
rated with turpentine, night and morn
ing. Care should be taken to wear
shoes sufficiently wide but not too
large.
Excessive Precipitation.
Sponge off the parts affected at
least once a day with boric acid; use
20 parts Of hot water to one of acid.
Also dust the face and neck and wher-
ever it is necessary with dry boracic
powder.
To Overcome odorous Precipitation.
When bathing put a few drops OF
ammonia in the water, dry the skin
well and dust with the following
powder: Oleate Of zinc, II ounce

acid, / scruple.
For chapped Lips.
To prevent the chapped lips that
so frequently result from the high
winds try rubbing the lips each time
before going out with rose water and
glycerin, mixed in the proportion OF
two parts of the former to one OF the
latter.

An almost endless number of styles,
with none Of them dominant as yet,
characterize the display of millinery
and gowns this season. The powers
that be in the production of them must
have agreed to disagree, for every de-
signer appears to have operated in
dependently of the others-in meas
ure. In fabrics they are of one mind,
but in costumes we have widely vary
ing silhouettes-the straight and slim
from one source, the draped figure
from another, wide hip and crinollne
effects from several. Skirts and
sleeves from some authoritative houses
persist in being very short-both are
heightened by others, and bodices re-
veal a disparity more striking than
any other, going from very low necks
to collars so high that they reach the
ears. There Is lack of conference
In the modes, but in the wide variety
offered certainly every type of face
and figure can be suited.
Among the styles that have been
received with enthusiasm by discrim
mating judges of good millinery there
are many medium-sized hats. A grouI
|. of four, shown above. presents widely
different types, each Of them having
scored a success. Whatever ma!
be the difference of opinion abou
shapes, designers are agreed upon thu
use of rich materials, and the fou
hats that constitute this group are fin'
examples of the mode.

A lovely example of seQuin-cover-

4 JOLLY GATHERING.

The Farm Bureau Dairy picnic held
at the city park on Osoyoos lake, last
Friday was a grand success both in
point of attendance and in the amount
of pleasure that every participant de-
rived therefrom. There were fully 15C
farmers and their families present
while a large number of town people
visited the grounds during the day
PleLhoric baskets, boxes and hampers
loaded with good things to eat were
IN evidence and the dinner was spread
on long table. 1t is not necessary tC
to the viands. Besides the regular din.
ner there was plenty of free ice cream
and lemonade which disappeared as
rapidly as it could be served, for il
was ice cream weather on the day oi

itors spent much of their time in bath
ing, as there is splendid beach neal

extension specialist from the state
college, lectured on the feeding and

Miss Della Delvin talked to the womer

subjects. Altogether the lectures were
very interesting and instructive, ane

to say that the attendance at thes'

HEAVY HAY YIELD.

The valley farmers are IN the midst
of the second cutting of alfalfa, and
the yield of hay is very heavy. The
first cutting this year was one of the
heaviest ever harvested under the irri-
|gation system and as there will be one
or two more cuttings before the sum-
|mer is over the yield of alfalfa in the
valley is going to run into the thous-
lands of tons this season. This yield Is
the natural result of irrigation and
can be depended upon from year to
year without danger Of failure. More
lover, it is one of the most profitable
crops that can be grown, even II the
price should ever return to the low
Figures of several years ago, and that
lis not going to happen for some years
to cone. Owing to the failure OF the
grain crop the demand for alfalfa hay
lis such that there will be ready mar
ket for all that is cut. Already many
heavy sales have been recorded, and
prices seem to have steady upward
tendency. So far the price paid has
been from $40 to $23 per ton and at
the latter figures tn re is big profit
for the growers of alfalfa. 1t is even
predicted that prices will go to $25, or
better, before winter. We are informed
that Samuel Blackler has contracted
! his crop and it is large one this
| year, at $50 per ton bailed and deliv-
cred at the depot. Hay is staple crop
for which there is always a market
and in few years it is safe to pre-
dict that most of the valley land that
| is not devoted to fruit will be in al
