To set the color in any cotton material add a handful of salt and two tablespoons of turpentine to three-quarters of a pail of hot wa ter. Put goods in and allow to re- main until water is cold. This will set colors permanently and neither sun nor washing will fade them after ward.
 To ease a painful corn, touch it with a little oil of peppermint and the soreness will be wonderfully eased.
 To thoroughly clean milk bottles and cans too narrow to be washed and wiped dry inside, let hot water and salt stand in them for five min utes. Then they should be well rinsed in cold water and turned up side down to drain dry.

"Uncle Toms Cabin"
As I handled Walt Whitman by

the pages Of Phelps book until we
reach Harriet Beecher Stowe.
You viii run across the following
in the words of the author:
This novel C'Uncle Toms Cabin'D
has never known a period of neglect.
Shortly before the authors death the
publishers got out a new edition of
100 900 copies. which were sold in
few weeks. BY. 1873 it had been
translated into twenty languages
Shortly after the book first appeared
it was dramatized; for seventy years
it has held the stage with no sign
of diminishing popularity, and it is
perhaps the favorte American play.

In the North, Mrs. Stowe was
praised for her fairness and impair

the varying fortunes of Uncle Tom
with various masters and localities:
in the South she was condemned for
exaggeration, Islander and falsehood.

TETTING acquainted with
. King Tut is quite a job.
IL King Tut didn't write poe
try or prose, and it is difficult 10
reach a verdict regarding his char
acter.
But William Cullen Bryant, Walt
Whitman. Henry David Thoreau,
James Russell Lowell, Henry James,
William Dean HoweIls and Harriet
Beecher Stowe left more than a
tomb; they left to us manuscripts
of their thoughts.
II thoughts actually be the indi-
vidual, then we have a chance to
meet them as they actually were.
That is the task that William Lyon
Phelps, Lampson professor of Eng
fish literature at Yale, undertakes
in his new book, 'Howells, James,
Bryant and Other Essays
Recently my mail included 2 copy
of this book, which is published by
the Macmillan Company, New York.
In his introduction Phelps has
this to say: There are still those
who profess to believe that all
American literature is second-rate;
tut the influence Of some American
authors is as wide as the world, and
seems not to be diminishing"
The beauty of this Phelps book IS
that we meet Bryant and the others
as they actually were. In this
way we not only become acquainted
with the mental process of these
people, but we touch their hands,
think and feel with them.
Meeting w. c. Bryant
Through the knowledge and per
sonality Of Phelps, you meet Bry-
ant as follows:
"At the age of ten. he Bryant
wrote verses, and his first book was
published in 1908, when he was
thirteen. It is no sign of greatness
to compose rimes at an early age, as
I have the best of reasons to believe.
Bryant's boyish verses show a cor
rect ear, good technique, and rather
remarkable facility.
He took up the study of law, and
in 1915 became a practicing attor-
ney. 1t was during these early
years Of professional work that he
wrote some of his best poetry. On
the fifteenth of December. 1915, he
took a long walk, and after sunset
saw a waterfowl against the fading
sky. The sight appealed to his imag-
ination, and he wrote the light
stanzas ITO a Waterfowl" which
many believe to be his master
piece. :"
Although Bryant worked in a
newspaper office in New York for
fifty years, the city made little i'm
preston either on his character or
his manners"

years, wrote so much about death.

HEADLESS LANCELOT.

From the Review of Reviews
The little creature called the lance.
lot is slender and pointed at both
ends and not very easy to see, since
1t is almost transparent and is only
from an mich and half to two and 3
half inches in length.
1t lives in shallow water and likes
to stick It's head end into the sand
into which 1t burrows with great
rapidity. 1t remains thus for a Ione
time with it's tail sticking out Wher
on the surface of the water it lies or
it's side.
While 1t can neither see nor hear
there is reason for believing that il
possesses the senses of smell an6
taste Its eggs are laid about sunset
and the larva matches out early the
next morning.
The lancelot has no head. Moreover
it has neither legs nor pairs of fms
1t has mouth, however, placed al
one end, which, therefore, may be
called the head end of the body.
1t has a stomach, a very simple
form of liver and another simple or
gan which takes the place of a heart
since 1T is capable of contracting and
thus forcing the blood, which is quite
colorless, forward to the area of the
gills, where it Is purified.

APPEALS DECISION
ON TAX PUBLICITY
u. S. Attorney Puts Case of
Kansas City Papers Be-
fore Supreme Court.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, December g.
An appeal to the Supreme Court OF
the United States from the recent
decision Of Federal District Judge AL
bert l.. Reeves sustaining demurrers
to indictments against officers Of the
Kansas City Journal-Post charging
illegal publication OF income tax re-
turns was prepared and forwarded to
Washington today by United States
District Attorney 9. c. Madison.
Mr.. Madison acted upon Instructions
received from the Department of JUS
tice at Washington.
The district attorney appeared be-
fore Judge Reeves with an applica-
tion for a writ of error. which was
allowed by the court. Then he as
sembled records in the case and for
warded them jby mail to the Supreme
Court.
The appeal contends that Judge
Reeves erred in declaring invalid the
indictments against Walter S. Dickey,
owner and editor of the Journal Post,
and Ralph Ellis, general managing &
editor. and places the constitutional
questions involved squarely before
the high court.
Judge Reeves. who handed down
the first decision in the series of test
cases instituted by the Governm ent
10 determine the right of newspapers
to publish income tax Information
ruled that the section of the income
tax law relating to publication Is
unConstitutiona If It Is susceptible
to the Interpretation placed upon It
by the Department of Justice in
bringing the indictments. He drew
a distinction between the publication
of the names of individuals and cor
pOrations and the amount of tax paid
as contained in lists made public by
the collector Of internal revenue and
the publication of part of the actual
tax returns
The court further held that news
papers were within their rights, under
constitutional guarantees for freedom
of the press in printing matters made
public. such as the lists given out
by the collector of internal revenue
Mr.. Madison said he would go &C
Washington to assist the Attorney
General and solicitor general in con-
ducting the Governments arguments
Judge Reeves issued an assign
ment ordering the defendants to ap-
pear before the Supreme Court in 81
days after the date of the appeal to
show cause why the decision should
not be corrected.

100 ACRES IN ASPHALT.
Trinidad Lake Supplies Most Of
Western Hemisphere.
From the baltimore Sun

From the Baltimore Sun.
Trinidad, West Indian island off
Venezuela, is known as the home of
the asphalt lake" 1t furnishes most
of the asphalt for thte Western
Hemisphere.
The lake is a slightly concave black
patch of 100 acres. 1t is not much to
look at, but has as definite shores as
a lake of water. The pitch is so light
that the largest lump is hardly a bur-
den for one to carry.
Only a small fraction of the field is
exploited, and 1t could easily keep all
the ships of the world busy. Should
it ever become exhausted there is
still a larger deposit just across the
bay in Venezuela.
Harry A. Franck, in Roaming
Through the West Indies" writing
description of the lake. says that it
is soft under foot, like tar side
walk in summer, and has a faint
smell of sulphur In few places
it is not solid enough to sustain a
mans weight.
The pitch lake was known even in
the days of Sir Walter Raleigh, who
"payed" his vessels there during lulls
in buccaneering, but it has been ex-
plotted only during the last few
decades.

VIKING GRAVE FOUND.
Norwegian Scientist Believes He
Can Confirm Northmen's Visit.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times
Two discoveries which he believes
will confirm deductions from inscrip-
tions on rocks in the Pacific North
west that a Morse expedition visited
this part of the country in 1910 A. d.
We're announced here recently by
Oluf l.. Opsjon, Norwegian scientist
of Spokane, Wash, on his return
from a trip into northern Idaho and
eastern Washington.
Opsjon said he had found a runic
Inscription telling Of the burial of a
Viking in armor and had located the
supposed grave. and had learned of
the location of a carved stone tablet,
giving the history of the early Morse
expediption. As early next Spring as
official Government supervision can
be obtained the grave will be opened
and the tablet excavated, he said
Snow in the hills where the objects
were discovered will prevent earlier
investigation.
