CHEERFUL NEWS.

1t is cheerful news which comes from Washing
ton regarded a reduction of taxes. The Harding
administration is proving that the republican partys
prediction pledges of lowered cost of government
were not made merely to get votes.
With only five molths of time elapsed since the
new administration took hold and with opposition in
many interested quarters to reduction of govern
mental expense, the prospect now is for a cut of
$500, 900 in the taxes to be COLLECTED from the
people, and reduction of s520OOO,GO0 in the ex
penses Of the national administration.
This national example needs to be followed by
the budget makers of the various commonwealths
counties and municipalities Tax burdens have been
increasing In every direction, and 1t is time to call
halt. Deflaton in incomes and profits has already
taken place. Let there be defaon Of taxes as we'll

Efficient HOUSEKEEPING
BY LAURA A. KIRKMAN.

rugs, furniture and general decora-
ton. Draperies of silk brocade
must be ''lived up to-"
Our next downward step brings
us to poplins, monks cloth and
burlap. These materials require
no lining; and, unlike the velours
and brocades, they are. not great
dust catchers and may be vigor-
ously beaten when they do need
cleaning. They are good buy"
Yet there are still less expensive
hangings for the woman who can
not afford poplins and burlaps.
These are: cotton reps, denims,
and the heavy "sun-fast" mate
rails which are now being manu-
featured by a good many firms. 1t
is from this group of materials
that most women feel they must
buy for economy's sake. Today,
with high prices still prevailing in
many directions, it is no disgrace
to have the home reflect economy.
This is no time to struggle to
keep up good 'front.' Where
before the war the world in gen.
eral respected show of prosper
ity, today the world respects the
person who has the courage to
stand behind facts and have
Thrift First for his motto. In
deed, many people consider it al
most dishonest to have costly fur
nishings in the home and no saw
ings in the bank.
Appropriate door hangings for
bedrooms are the English printed
linens and our domestic cretonnes.
Dark-colored cretonnes of double
thickness are also appropriate for
the downstairs rooms.
''What should l figure for each
| double doorway" is a. question
that is frequently asked me. This
Is hard query to answer. For the
prices of the various materials are
so different; and doors are of va
rious heights, some of them re-
quiring longer portieres than 9TH
ers. But l think Sc to IS Is about
right for each double doorway for
the housekeeper of moderate cir
cumstances. In saying this, I am
counting that the double door is
high enough to require curtains
almost three yards in length (in-
GLIDING hemp and that the mate
rial needs no lining, is about SO
inches wide. and costs around SO
a yard.

Just as I was all ready, and
wondering what Dick would say
about my dress which Mrs. Hyde
had praised extravagantly. Clara
and Jim came up. Dick had asked
them to ride down with US.
Well, I'm ready" | announced.
"Why-Nan" 1t was all Dick
said as l pirouetted into the room
in my blue and silver dress with a
dainty wrap, also new, over my
arm.
man, Williams, you're a dream"
Clara exclaimed. Where in the
world did you get that dress? It's
simply wonderful"
Madame Felice made it."
MY, but you're extravaganza"
Clara replied with all the freedom
of a close friend. But / don't
blame you one bit It's too lovely"
BE as extravagant as you like,
Nan, IL you can get yourself UP TO
look as you do tonight, Dick said,
again surprised me. II shall have
to watch out that no one steals
you" Dick turned me around 80
that he might examine the dress.
laughed in very joy Mt his naive de-
light in my appearance-his boyish
expressions. l thought how wise
had not been to tell him about the
dress until l had it on, and when
he was not in the mood he was to-
night. He couldn't object to paying
for it now, after he mad made such
a fuss over me.
Shoes and stockings to match
help me watch her, Watson, Or
she'll disappear with some fairy
prince in pumpkin chariot"
Nonsense! You are making me
blush like everything, Dick. It isn't
quite the thing to make such fuss
over your own wife, you know"
when one has the prettiest
woman he knows for a wife / guess
it's allowable"
Come on, jim! this is no place
for us with all this turtle doving
going on" Clara said laughing. But
/ noticed she couldn't take her
eyes off from my dress. was sure
she was a bit envious.
We'll all go!" said, and led the
way to the elevator. l was very
pleased with myself very happy.

less he did. Had he begun he finished the cam
paign, would have been with him.
The governor sent message to the legislature
which pleased 1t in the public interest. We
said so and fought to help him carry it out 1t
seemed to us at times that counter-pressure made
him cautious If lukewarm in pressing for his
forms but we stayed with him to the end Sometimes
we have prodded him in an effort to him go
Sometimes have criticized his acts, but we have
never attacked him.
Where then, comes this talk of the Journals
vacillating policy? The old politicians know that the
people will not follow any upon whose fidelity
to cause they cannot depend. We know that equally
as well do the politicians. But he gang seeks by
repeated assertion to establish their assertion VI
vacllation fact In the minds of the people 1t is
merely politics. undertaken to weaken the journals
influence.
No man is entitled to public office because of
himself There is justification for newspaper to
support some candidate because it likes him per-
sonally. He is entitled to support if at all, because
of his policy public questions, This attitude fixes
his value to the people official 1t is the sole
intelligent basis for support.
The Journal is for the people and the general
welfare. From that position we have not departed
and never will Senator Bursum must show himself
entitled to support by of his public policy
As yet he has said nothing The independent voter
is waiting to hear what he has to say Then will
know what to do. Because like the senator, is
reason why should support him as against a can
didate with better and more helpful policy.
Consistency in New Mexico has been understood
to the dog-like following Of some man, how
ever vagrant his policy We disagree with this theory
Loyalty to principle is our idea of fidelity; then
to support those who support that principle. Reject
your friend if he rejects the principle; in that there
is vacation.
The people demand deal in New Mexico.
The government must become responsive to the
people special few must cease to dictate If Bur-
sum wishes to really go to the help of the people we
are for him heart and soul If the old gang methods
are to prevail it leaves us cold
IT. in the event of the latter condition Of things
the democrats should name an avowed friend of the
people who is capable, he should be supported.
We know of no way to clean up New Mexico but
to fight for program until the people win. After
that personal preferences may be in order.

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Miss NJ. f. G.-Simplify your diet
on the warm days and If the weak
spells continue, consult your doc
tor about it. Muscles that are only
used occasionally and then put to a
strain as you must do in the racing,
would naturally be very sore the
following day
f. w. M.-Fatten the throat by
massaging 1t with cocoa butter each
night and the Adams apple will
be less conspicuous. Wear higher
collar in the meantime. Spirits of
camphor will bleach the scar from
fever sores.
Cherrie.-A red nose may come
from a disordered liver or compress
sion on some part of, the body
even shoes that are too tight, may
cause it.

may be Strengthened by breaking
the bones and resetting them, but
should not advise it. In small
children, before the bones have
hardened bones are Strengthened
by means of a brace. Wear your
skirts at the most becoming length.
Bright Eyes.-Douche the nasal
passages with warm water that has
been made healing through a few
drops of some antiseptic. Use a
nasal syringe for this purpose and
give the treatment every day, also
just before you go out for the even
ing.
Billie.-Peroxide Of hydrogen is
used for bleaching or cleansing
without being diluted. Give the
skin an application and allow it to

by external cleansing, but the

of single-faced velour back to back

The next step down in the
scale of prices brings us to
silk brocades. These, too, are be-

PRINCIPLE AND PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

In his full page Sunday advertisement Mr. J. NJ.
Reynolds says:
why should we want to put him (Magee)
out of business now. when SO far as he is capable
of supporting anyone for any length of time. he
appears to be supporting Senator Bursum.
We were not aware that we supporting Bur-
sum except as against the Vaccinations of FALL We
may, may not, support him for election. What
the next three days reveals to will determine the
Journals course The election of Bursum may be best
for the people. That depends largely upon Bursum
1t depends also upon the action of the democratic
convention. Should that convention be responsive to
popular need. and a fighting man of the
people, its nominee it may be entitled to the indie
pendent vote. No other consideration should enter
into tho decision.
However. what wish to discuss is the effort of
Mr.. Reynolds to create the impression that the

Mr.. Reynolds says he doesn't belong to the gang He
merely initiates them and joins their chase infer

We said we were for bipartisan board in the land

''We have more than we need"
They gave the June bug nice
clover leaf sandwich, with some
middle, and very thankful he was
to get it.
At last Uncle wiggily and Nurse
Jane reached the picnic ground.
There was a little lake on one side,
and when Uncle Wiggily saw this
he exclaimed:
"Oh, I think I'll go wading!

how nice it was to be out in the

gentleman. sect the boat here to

II surely cant" sang the sparrow
boy. He flew out to the toy boat,
the sails of WHICH were spread, but
there was no Wind to blow them.
Dickie Tipped and tapped his
wings, and made such a breeze in
the air above the boat that it was
blown to shore where Uncle Wiggily
could reach it. And, after the pic
mic lunch, the bunny and Nurse
Jane carried the boat to the boys
house and put 1t on his porch when
not one was looking. And how
glad that little boy was to see his
