I'VE cannot increase the class OF
taxes now in existence" the secretary
argue. 1T is necessary to find some
broad class of commodities upon
which some reasonable percentage of
tax can be levied which will not be
too much of a burden"
Representative HaWley, Republican,
of Oregon, asked if an increase in the
corporation tax and the income nor
NAL tax was practical.
1T would be harmful to increase
either" asserted Secretary Mellon. ut
would retard revival of industry. These
taxes are higher now than they should
be in normal or peace times"
No Guarantee of Debt Payment.
CIVILIZATION of the foreign debt IS
impra cticable, uncertain and would
lead to a great many difficulties, he
said.
1T is a problem whether these funds
can be obtained within the time limit
to meet the bonus payment. 1t is most
when we can get this money.
Nothing will be gained in such fl
nancing.
The government would have to
guarantee these securities and market
them. 1t will cost more than market
ing our own. l don't think these Sc
curities would bring as much as our
own bonds. They would have to be
sold at a discount because subject to
taxes"

ally stops the ordinary cough or chest
cold in "a hours. Tastes pleasant. too
children like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour 21a ounces of Pinex in a pint
bottle; then fill it up with plain granu-
lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified
moIasses, honey, or corn syrup. instead
of sugar syrup, if desired. Thus YOU
make a full pint-a family supply-but
costing no more than q small bottle of
readymade cough syrup.
And as a cough medicine there is
really nothing better to be had at any
price. 1t goes right to the spot and
gives quick, lasting relief. 1t promptly

the throat and air passages, stops the
annoying throat tickle, loosens the
phlegm, and soon your cough stops en-
tirely. Splendid for bronchitis, Group,
hoarseness and bronchial asthma.

druggist for "215 ounces of Pinex" with
directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute satiss

CHEAP POWDER FOR POULTRY
Mixture of Gasoline carboIc Acid
and Plaster of Paris Will
Eradicate Insects.

A cheap lice powder for poultry may
be made 10y mixing three parts of gaso.
line and one part of crude carbolic
acid with as much plaster of paris
as the liquid will mOsten. This is
the suggestion of the Ohio station.
The powder is allowed to dry before
using. 1t may be kept in an air-tight
cOntainer where it retains its strength
for long period. The powder is in
tlammable and must be kept away
from fire.
Infested fowls when thoroughly
busted are soon relieved from the at
taCks of lice. About 125 birds may
he busted in an hour, one pound of
the mixture being needed to dust ten
mature fowls. For head lice on chick
ems, the use Of blue ointment or mer-
curial ointment has been found eff
fective. One part Of the ointment is
mixed with two parts of vaSeine and
lump of the mixture about the size
Of a pea IL rubbed thoroughly at the
base of the feathers about the head.

CONSERVING HAY IN MAMGER
Horse With Chronic Habit of Nosing
Out Feed Under His Feet Is
Decided Nuisance.

A ncighbor once owned horse with
a chronic habit of noSing most Of the
hay out of the manger and under his
feet as soon as it had been thrown
down. An animal with this trait is
both nuisance and useless expense.
Alfalfa, clover and some other hays
are not SO easily removed, but wild hay
can be easily tossed out
This farmer resOrted to a simple
means to stop this annoyance. A green
log about four inches in diameter was
cut short enough to drop into the
mangcr without touching either of the
feed boxes.
This was supported, when outside
by two ropes, each tied through the
halterrOpc holes and around one end
OF the log. After the manger has
been filled the log is thrown into it,
onto the hay. There is plenty of room
for the horse to eat, yet there is no
possibility Of the feed being thrown
out. The device cured the animal
mentioned of his bad habit in about
four weeks.

TABLET MANY CENTURIES OLD !
Recent Find at York, England, De-
cIared to Be Most Important of
Recent Times.

An ancient Roman tablet, said to be
about 1000 years old, has been dis
covered by wOrkmen who We're eX-
cavating for new street on The
Mount at York, England. The tablet
is in perfect state of preservation,
the carving and lettering being as dis
tinct as when first cut. The inscrip-
ton laudS the virtues of the wife and
family of a famous Roman author.
The stone, which is over five feet high,
is TadcaSter, similar to the stone used
in building the minister. 1t was buried
to depth Of five feet. Near the site
were also found the casts of two men
Of the Roman period. Corporation Of
ficialS state that this discovery is the
most important of recent times. The
ancient church of st. James originally
stood on the site. A new archbishop
on his way to be COnseCrated III olden
times, had to walk from this church
to the minister in his hOsen. He usual
ly rode from Bishopsthorpe to The
Mount, and was there joined by the
clergy, who always robed at st. James
church. The church disappeared
several centuries ago.

PUREBRED CAMPAIGN
STARTED BY SURVEY
Many Methods Used to Carry on
Better-SireS Movement.
Steuben County, Indiana, Organized
by Sections by County Agent
Posters Showing Value of I'M
proved Sires Were Used.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
A variety of methods are being en-
plOyed to carry on the better sires
campaign which the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has been Wig
Orously promoting in all parts of the
country In Steuben county, Indiana,
livestock survey was taken as the
first step in this campaign Under
the leadership of T. A. Parker, the
county agent, the county was partially
organized by sections and returns
were secured from 600 farms, repre-
senting One-half of the total number
from farms in all parts of the county,
the percentages may be taken as an
average.
The fgures show that of the bulls
kept q per cent were purebreds, 33
per cent grades, and 40 per cent
scrubs; of the boars kept 26 per cent
were purebreds 80 per cent grades,
and ii per cent scrubs; of the rams
~ per cent were purebreds, Sc per
cent grades, and % per cent scrubs.
TWenty-three per cent of the poultry
was of pure breeding, the remainder
being mixed stock. With these figures
at hand the general livestock aSsoCia-
ton of the county began a purebred
sires campaign, using posters and lit
erature supplied by the United States
Department of Agriculture, and hold
ing local meetings at which talks,
showing the value of purebred sires,
were given.
