Articles Of League of
Nations.

Members of the Good Citizenship
Cab were out in force Tuesday after
noon at Carnegie hall to hear an ex-
phantom on 'The League of Nations"
by E. j. Dockery, who took the 26 ar
ticles of the proposed league explain
ing them in detail, showing their strong
and weak points and especially empha-
sizing that the document as now
drawn need not be final, but that it
could be added to and amended to do
away with the chief objections and
meet the approval of the people of the
United States.
Mrs. M. j. Lowry gave two readings
and the characterization committee
gave a report of its work. Mrs. De
Clercq, teacher of a class of Chinese
women. had two of her students at the
club, Mrs Louie Lai and Mrs. Fong
You, who met the club women and en-
joyed their meeting with them i'm
mensely.

dent of the club, appointed Mrs. Eliza
beth Spivey, Mrs. Bambury and Mrs.
Dockery, a committee to cooperate
with committee from the Columbian
club for the celebration of consumers
week.

Frisco Paper Has High Praise
for the Harrington Street
Comedy; Shows at the Pin

According to the San Francisco
Bulletin, The Country Cousin" was a
welcome visitor to that coast metrop-
oils. Writing of the comedy, a first
nighter" pens the following:
THE Country Cousin" which opened
q two weeks engagement at the Co
lumbia theater last night, comes as a
bright oasis in dreary desert of vapid
mediocrities masquerading under the
misnomer Of comedy; a desert whose
weary stretches have, up to now, been
relieved only by mirages that did but
make us thirst the more.
ITO stumble into the smiling land of
The Country Cousin after our weary
pilgrimage from one hallucination to
another was binding experience; it
took the big audiences the better part
of the first of the four acts to react
ing on actors who were not imposi-
lions and listening to lines that did
not mock their intelligence.
"'The Country Cousin is immense.
Alexandra Carlisle, the leading wom-
an, is more than immense-she is a
most human artist. And her leading
man, Alfred Lunt, is tall enough,
physically and artistically, to look
into the window of the home Of the
stages big men. The rest of the
parts are well enough cast, with just
enough homely sentiment to escape
the maudlin, and the sets are far
ahead Of the ordinary. Is this not an
oasis in the theatrical desert of inani-
ties?

Alleged Unsanitary Conditions

Complaints were many and emphatic
IN tone at the meeting Of the. city
council Tuesday afternoon regarding
the unsanitary condition Of a horse
market and corral at Sixteenth and
BRnnock streets, and the matter was
discussed at length without arriving at
any definite decision until Councilman
Harrington moved that the health
board be instructed to clean the place
up Immediately. Roy Johnston and
Carl Dietrich, residents of the section
in which the market is located, APP
peared before the council and declared
that something should be done at once
to eliminate the bawling of cattle and
the stencil of the place.
Mayor Hays stated that he found
conditions there bad Monday, and
Councilmen Harrington and Davis
made remarks on the subject. Attor-
ney Upton stated that he believed the
matter was outside the jurisdiction of
the city, and should be made subject
for a civil action by residents. After
the motion by Councilman Harrington
the matter was put over until the next
meeting.

They Are Natures Warning of
Impure Blood

The skin is composed of two
distinct layers. One is known
as the epidermis, or outer skin,
which has no fibres, and serves
principally as covering to the
body and a protection from
outward dangers to the delicate
flesh beneath. The other layer
is known as the derma, or true
skin, and is composed Of elastic
fibres, fat tissue, glands, lynn
phatics, nerves, etc. The thou
sands of tiny veins and arteries
with which it is interlaced con-
stantly supply every fibre and
tissue with healthful properties
from the circulation to keep
the skin smooth and perfect.
This is changed, however,
when the blood becomes in
fected, with humors, acids or
impurities. Instead of con-
stantly supplying rich, nutri-
tive properties to the skin, the
circulation deposits the acrid
impurity with which it is con-
taminated, into the sensitive
fibres and tissues. This causes
irritation and inflammation,
which splits or breaks the thin
outer euticle, while the tissues
beneath ulcerate and discharge
upon the surface in the form of
Eczema, Salt Rheum, letter,
etc. There is likewise dry
form of skin diseases, such as
Acne, Psoriasis, etc.
Just as long as the blood re-
mains pure the skin will be free
from eruptions, but when the
blood becomes affected with
acids and humors its nourish-
ings and healthful properties
are lost, and its acrid, humor-
laden condition causes inflam-
nation Of the delicate tissues
and fibres OF the pores and
glands, and the effect is shown
ia one Of the various forms Of
Skin diseases. In this cOndi-
lion the healing property is

are the authors. To Harrington, no
doubt belongs the credit for the naive
and homely simplicity Of the heart
interest. In the undercurrent 'of
healthy contempt for shams, the dis
examination between true ana false
values in life's game, is also seen the
work OF Harrington, who might have
been g rafting good iconoclast under
otner circumstances. Street is un-
responsible for the sub
tly brilliant dialogue.
1T is because The Country Cousin
could be SO easily overacted that great
measure OF praise belongs to the COM
pany. The repression of Miss Carlisle

Beat HUNS at rheir own Game.

The most hateful chapter of the
work of science in war was the In
PRODUCTION of chemical warfare. The
first gas attack. on April %, 1915, and
the FIVE others that followed within
little more than month, found the
allies unprepared, and it was not I'M
til September that they were able In
any way to retaliate. But the imme-
diate reply was one that did honor to
science. Due to the splendid work of
the late Colonel Harrison a system of
defense by gas masks was established.
IT. which the allies were for the greater
part of the war far ahead of their adj
versaries, who only succeeded in com
ing up to them by learning and copy
ing our methods. 1t was impossible to
estimate what would have been the
destruction caused by toxic gases hut
for these defensive measures.

OUR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES?

The decision of officials of the
coal miners union to call off the
strike in obedience to the courts
mandate is not pleasing to the red
element that is now most active in
the west, and perhaps in no state,
in one form or another, to a lesser
extent than in Idaho.
A radical Butte newspaper, the
Bulletin, now being distributed in
Idaho, tells the story of this dissat-
isfaction. 1t condemns the officials
of the United Mine Workers for de-
claring the strike off. Quoting their
statement, eve are Americans; we
cannot fight our government. the
Bulletin says ''In calling the present
tyranny our government the coal
miners executives are putting them
selves in the same class with the
Grays, the Ryans, the Rockefellers
and the Morgans'
Such expressions are greeted rap
turously by every leader of discon-

To designate the most benevolent
government in the world as a "ty-
rant" approximates treason; and |
it is maryeled that such attacks are
permitted to be distributed through I
the mails.

ARE TAXES HIGHER?

High Taxes seems to be the MAR
subject for editorials among many
o. the papers over the country who
are seeking to prejudice the minds
Of the public against the present
state, county and city administra-
lions. All kinds of slurs and insinu-
atoms are thrown out because 1t
takes more dollars to pay taxes this
year than it has heretofore. While
we will admit this is true, in reality
taxes are no higher, in fact not as
high, as during the past years The
explanation is this: Every dollar
received by the people at the pres
ent time and for the past year is
in exchange for products from the
farm or for wages earned at an adj
vance of from SO to 100 per cent.
In reality the farmer pays his taxes
from the products of the farm a
box of apples, a bushel of wheat or
any kind of grain, ton of hay, {.
fat steer or hog, pound of butter or
butter fat, dozen eggs or a crate of
poultry will pay more taxes at the
present time than it ever would
and furthermore it should not be
forgotten, that every dollar of taxes
paid must be expended for labor or
material. Can it be expected that our
State, County. or City officials can
procure labor or materiall without
paying the present advance in price !
of both. Not only this, but in the
case of the State. County and City, |
the present administration has been
forced to create levy sufficient to
take care Of deficiencies left by past
administrations if cash basis is
maintained
When you buy clothing. dry goods,
shoes, hardware, furniture, groceries
Or any other article the advance in
price must be paid. 1t is not alone
taxes that require more dollars to
pay the bill. We are living under abb
normal conditions which seem un-
avoidable and uncomfortable, and
which has placed the dollar far be-
ow its normal purchasing value, and
Is long as these conditions exist I
axes must be classed with other nee
'ssities and not looked upon as a
political joke

ADDITIONAL RULINGS
ON REINSTATEMENT,


A series of decisions issued by thu
, Director of the Bureau of War Risl
, insurance with the approval of the
Secretary Of the Treasury provides
!, more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapsed or cancelled insurance
The provisions of Treasury De-
cision No. At, allowing eighteen
months from the date of discharge
for reinstatement upon payment of
only two months permiums on the
amount of insurance to be reinstat-
ed, are retained. That decision is
liberalized, however, by a new pro-
vision that men out of the service
are permitted to reinstate by merely
! paying the two months premiums
without making a statement as to
health at any time within three cal.

of discharge
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
a statement from the applicant to
the effect that he is in as good health
as at the date of discharge or at the
expiration of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, will be requir-
ed together with written applica-
ton for reinstatement and the tender
of two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to |
reinstate.
In order to give all former SER
vice men whose insurance has lapsed I
or been cancelled, fair chance to |
reinstate their insurance, including
men who have been out of the SER

who are therefore barred from re- 1
