worth of liquid ammonia, 10 cents
worth of oil of sassafrass, one tea
spoon soda, one tablespoon of salt, one
quart of cold water. Mix ingredients

Put it in a covered pail, set in a ket-
tie of boiling water. cook until well

the rest well covered. Rub the wall
with the loaf, working the dirt into
the dough. When too dirty, get a

Leave handful of bread dough in
batter pan, then, fill with cold water
enough to cover silverware. Let stand
over night and you will find your
silTerware nice and bright. Wash the
silverware afterward and dry with a
soft cloth.
In setting colors very good results
may be obtained from the following:
Two ounces of alum dissolved in a
tub of water is used to set light blue,
pink, green, lavender, red and purple

half or three-quarters of an hour.
A strong solution of salt water may
be used to set dark blue, gray and

boiling hot suds and allowed to stand
till the water is cool.

Questions-Anspers

Q. Does the government appropriate
money for the burial of soldiers widows
A. The Cemeterial Branch of the Quar-

preparation by the Federal Government for
the burial of soldiers widows. In cases

etery and it is anticipated that his widow
will be buried In the same grave with him,
arrangements are made with the War De-

deep enough for a second casket to be
placed upon the soldiers casket in the same
grave.

REVENUE LEGISLATION.

One thing only is certain, says Prof.
Robert Murray Haig of Columbia uni
versity in an article in the Journal of
the American Bankers Association:
There will be revenue act of 1921.
No other point in the whole situation
seems to be settled. No one knows
when the act will be passed, whether
early or late in the year, what the
character of the act will be, what old
taxes it will discard and what new
ones it will establish, or how much
revenue it will aim to produce. The
reasons for a new revenue act, he says
are both political and financial in
character. Not only is there grave
doubt concerning the fiscal adequacy
of existing taxes, but there is def
mite certainty regarding the faulty
character and the unpopularity of
several of the levies. The tax ques-
ton assumed no great Importance in
the late campaign largely beco use
both great parties were committed be-
forehand to the abolition of the excess
profits tax, the one change which the
business men of the country demand
in no uncertain tones. The mere re-
peal of this tax is enough to insure
the passage of a new revenue act, for
its removal not only involves impor-
tant structural changes in the income
tax, but it also raises the question as
to the adequacy of the remaining taxes
to meet the financial demands of the
period which lies Immediately ahead.
Public sentiment generally appears
to favor the substitution of a sales tax
for tho repeal or reductions of other
schedules.
1t is estimated that a general sales
tax of one per cent would net the gov
eminent between $780, 100000 and
$4,000. 900, 00h per annum. And the
beauty of it all would be that it would
be in cash and that its collection would
| cost the government nothing at all.
The per cent of the income and ex-
cess profits tax devoted to the item of
collection is nothing short of scandal
Fous. and the public. which pays the
bills, is constantly confronted by the
knowledge that a tremendous portion
of the money it gives in to support the
government and defray the bills of
the war is not devoted to these pur-
poses at all. 1t goes to pay the vast
army of collectors and federal agents,
and to keep creased the machinery of
collection. We pay not only war taxes
but taxes to pay those who keep us
prodded.
A sales tax would not be subject to
this drawback. The money would all
be devoted to the ostensible purpose
for which it was collected. and coming
in at all times during the year would
obviate the present necessity of tile
governments borrowing money at in
terest time to meet pressing obliga-
tions.

The emergency tariff bill finally
has emerged from the senate commit
tee room so changed that its parent,
the house, could hardly recognize it..
While the senate probably has not the
courage it kill it outright it has laid
the foundation for long delayed ac-
ton. thru debate and conference. At
a time when vast debts are owed by
foreign countries to the United States
debts which are so great that the
possibility of payment in gold is out
of the uuestion-it is a matter of con-
cern that it should be seriously pro-
posed to erect additional barriers to
such payment as might be made thru
the importation of foreign raw ma
terials, food products and manufac-
tured commodities. The effect of the
Joss of foreign markets upon domes-
tic industries will certainly be reflect
ed in a Iessened demand for our raw
materials here, and this in turn will
tend further to depress the prices re-
ceived for such materials. Our farm
ers, especially, should remember that
only as Europe's purchasing power is
restored will she be able to buy the
surplus products of our fields, and
that there is more to be lost in retard-
ing the restoration of Europe's pur-
chasing power than is to be gained by
tariff differentials.

Renorse-s.

Remorse-2
Women are particularly given to this
vice They cruelty themselves on the
cross of their imagination, and blame
themselves for things that have no
existence outside of their fancies 'Ir
had gone to this doctor OF that; il
had taken my husband to Colorado
or Maine; if 1 had had him operated
on, or hadn't let the doctors persuade
me to have him operated on, perhaps
he would not have died. IF had
been firmer with my children, instead
of being SO devoted to them; if had
been more loving instead of trying to
discipline my children, perhaps they
would have turned out differently"
You hear women constantly mourn
| ing like this and blaming themselves
for the things for which they are in
no wise responsible since almighty
wisdom was not vouchsafed them.
Possibly they did make mistakes,
but to dwell on our mistakes is NOR
bid madness. The w'%e thing to do,
and the right thing to do, is to put
the past behind us and go on to the
future, striving to make that big
enough and good enough to offset the
errors we have made.
The only good in being sorry for a
thing you have done. is to keep you
from doing it again; yet there are peo-
pie who would say things to you that
wound you to the quick, and tell you
that they are sorry for having hurt
you, and then do it again the next day.
You hear women say that they regret
their extravaganceS and know thai

! death, yet who keep on running up
big bills. We have all seen a man,
who has been a cold and neglected.
husband, agonize over his wife's sick
| bed when he thought she was go
| ing to die, yet when she got well. re-
sumo his Indifferent attitude towards
| her.
This remorse that works no cure in
| the sinner is a kind of spiritual nos
trum with which many seek to drug
| their consciences.
Somehow women have always been
of the opinion that there is some pecu-
| liar merit in remorse. and that they
can wash their states clean if they only
shed enough tears upon them. That
| is why you find women weeping over
their mistakes instead of trying to COR
| rect them.
That is why the woman, who has
had past, salts it down in brine and
/ keeps it handy, where she can always
! take it out. and look it over, and weep
a little more over it; instead of putting
! it behind her, and forgetting it, and
learning from the bitter lesson she has
had to be a nobler and more compass
sionate woman than the woman who
| has never sinned. That is why n
woman sits down before her ill-cooked
food or her bungled sales slips, or her
| ill-typed letters, and weeps over her
| failures, instead of learning how to do
her work better. That is why the
mother of unruly children cries over
them instead of spanking them.
| Tears are the high-water mark of
| ineompetency and futility, unless they
wash ones eyes clear and give one the
straight vision. Repentance is weak
ness unless it leads to reform.
Instead OF spending your time in
being sorry for what you have done,
use it in planning to do better

The United States Good Roads as
sociation at its meeting in North Car
Dina adopted a resolution addressed
to congress urging that money col
lected from the allies shall constitute
a road fund for the building and inn
provement of post roads and public
highways in the United States. The
association seems not to have heard of
the inadvisability of counting chick
ems before they are Matched. If road
construction must wait on the collec-
ton of money from the allies the
American people probably will be
travelling in the mud for a long time
to come.
