Salty Jokes" Won't Go With Ophir Mining
 Man.

Peter Snow made desperate dash across the river yesterday morning. The aforesaid dash was made for the purpose of overriding one William Schneirla. better known by his numer- ous friends as ',Biuy,' the object of the aforesaid Peter being to place within the hands of the aforesaid William ohe small package of sast. said salt having been reqnisitioned, ordered, demanded, insisted upon by lady aesiriug same in the conduc ot Tacotna's leading host elry, incidentally one of the most popular in this section.
 Would William carry salt to lady in need? For a lady-you can gamble he would-would carry d barrel Of iJ if that d little salt would make her just little better-perhaps put hsr mind in a state of ease. sell-composure, or what not
 fBut William had heard nothing of the shortage of 1he saline article In the up:river ber2-knew not that the fair and fresh, as well as d few others, were demandiag 1t.
 When Peter placed the package in the hands of FWi 2ian all the latter did was to give it one look, and with You can t jobsme in that way.' he cast the package into a.huge snowdriIt, jumped onto his sled, and was on his way. And Peter came home.
 And that is why Mrs. Mclean is stin making anxious inquiries con cerning salt-the reason why some of the patrons of her homelike estabtsh- ment may soon be be forced to a tlret uf unsalted meats and vegetables.

These Tax Bills Radically Different

EOUR bills imposing a land tax and
l. heavy inheritance tax, and
eliminating most Of the present taxes
have been introduced in the house by
Representative Keller of Minnesota.
The bills are sponsored by the com
mittee of manufacturers and mer-
chants on federal taxation and by the
Farmers Federal Tax league.
One bill imposes a tax Of l per
cent on land values in excess of $780,
600, after eXempting buildings and i'm
provements, and in the case of farms
the cost Of clearing and draining and
maintenance Of fertility. The exemp-
lions are so applied as to exempt from
taxation, according to Mr.. Keller's es-
innate, approximately % per cent of
all actual farmers. The bill aims to
tax holders Of natural resources, valu-
able sites in cities, and the holding of
land out Of use.
The inheritance tax bill applies a
tax of l per cent on estates of from
$4,000 to $4,000, 2 per cent on es-
tates from $4,000 to $4,000 per
cent on estates from $4,000 to $780,
600, 6 per cent on estates from $780,
600 to $25O,OOO and graduated taxes
on larger estates on an increasing
scale until the point of $1OOOOO,OOO
Is reached, after which the tax is 80
per cent.

Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may seem,
not one person in 1000 used a Dentifrice-

More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is this: Incasing and combining
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create friction, more or less.
Aliens Foot Ease removes the friction
from the shoes, and freshens the feet. 1t
is this friction which causes smarting, cal
louses, corns and bunions. You know what

"Never Did," Says United States Steel

THE United States Steel corpora
l. tion and It's II subsidiaries have
filed with the federal trade commits
sion an answer to the commissions
complaint Of last April in which I'M
fair competition In interstate COM
merce was alleged. The case will now
go to trial on its merits before the
commission.
Answering each Of the II allegations
set out in the original complaint, the
steel corporation and It's subsidiaries
call attention to the decision Of the
United States Supreme court on March
l, 1920, dismiSsing the suit brought
against the corporation by the gov
eminent under the Sherman anti
trust act. They aver that the record
of the court shows:
"That respondents did not have a

ENERY summer finds, in its bright
IL cOrtege, lovely afternoon frocks Of
white or of black lace, and they are
always welcome. Good lace cannot go
out of fashion. Women of judgment
and whose judgment is important
never fail to appreciate it. SO styles
come and go, all of them interpreted
in laces that make dresses of the most
enduring charm. An occasional season
finds colOred laces an item of impor-
tanCe-there is never one that finds
white or black negligible.
In the beautiful afternoon gown pic
tured an all-Over white lace, run with
black, makes a costume that will serve
either for day or evening wear and
will find few rivals in appropriateness.
BY means of the proper accessories it
is fitted into either background-and
this is one of the reasons for the I'M
failing high esteem in which lace is
held by women of good judgment.
In the frOck pictured the lace is

One bill repeats all existing trans
portation and sales taxes except those
on tobacco and distilled spirits, cleo
margarine, habit forming drugs, and
products of child labor, and repeats
the excess profits tax and the 10 per
cent tax on incomes of corporations.
Another bill amends the income tax
law so as to distinguish between
earned" and "unearned" income. The
tax on 'unearned" income, together
with the supertaXes, is retained, but
the tax on earned" incomes is cut in
two.
Mr.. Keller figures that these taxes,
with customs and other miscellaneous
revenue, would raise funds sufficient
to meet the government budget, and
in addition provide a sinking fund
which would pay off the government
debt in 80 years.

being purchased at the rate Of $780,

At least $2O,OOOOOO daily now is

vet does not belong to summer, but
the artist, who created this bit Of

to use it for a binding and a soft

this madness when the wreath of pond
lilies is considered: against the deep
background their waxen whiteness
stands out most wildly.
A pale and misty blue in crepe de

at the right yelled with fine pretty
white lace, run with black. This Is
a charming hat for matrons who have
progressed beyond the wide-brimmed
picturesque shapes just described. The
last hat pictured is made of black
hair braid and has a dropping double
brim bound with old blue silk. A
wreath of garden roses with their
foliage lies across the brim and n
cluster Of roses droops from it at the
right side. The face is framed by n
bandeau Of little button roses.

Pure Gold Not Best for Coins

The Tuscan sequin was the purest
coin known in all history, being 900
parts of pure gold to one of alloy. The
6-ducat piece of Naples, another his
toric coin, was 996 parts of gold and
four parts alloy, while the old Byzan-
tine coins were next, $50 parts gold
and IA alloy. Pure coin is soft and
loses rapidly by abrasion, and alloys
are ,used to harden it.
