Beverage napkins are among the pres
ent day household linens that are q
convenience for homemakers to have.
They are so small they require but little
material. Their size makes the laun-
eering of them simple. They are correct
to use whenever q beverage alone is
served, or when the beverage is ac-
companied by light refreshments such
rs crackers, little cakes, cookies, or even
small sandwiches.
Linen as fine as handkerchief linen
Is used for these dainty napkins. So
also is any good quality Of linen that is
as soft although not by any means as
sheer. Color is preferred to white by
some hoStesses because of its distin-
gushing element. Other hostesses al
ways nave their beverage napkins
fringed for the same reason. 1t is wise
to have some decided mark of this
sort or else TO have colored embroidery
or applique on each napkin.
A narrow vine border in Cretan
stitch done in delicate green en-
broidery linen or cotton makes q

MORE WORKERS
To LOSE JOBS
MAXWELL

Approximately $50 of the $500
temporary employees at the Bureau
of the Census will be notified
that their work will terminate on
June 30, according to William M.
Steuart, director of the bureau.
Notices already have been sent
to 100 employees and the remain
ing notices will go forward within
a few days.
During the past year more than
1900 temporary employees rendered
their designations and these va
cancieS more than took care of
those who otherwise would have
been discharged.
The entire number of temper
ary employees will be let out of
the service within the next few
months as soon as the work they
are engaged in is finished. The
exact number of diSmiSSaIs and
the time the work will end can
not be accurately guaged at this
time.
Director Steuart pointed out
that the temporary clerks have
worked good deal longer than
those appointed in 1910 and that
a number of them have been
employed for a year. He said
that as the work is completed
the temporary clerks must go, as
appropriations do not provide for
their retention.

Negro Slave of Old Far Better
OFF, Asserts L. C. Painter;
: Sees Taxation As a Remedy

Declaring that "the lowliest
negro slave that hoed a row of
cotton in early days was better
off than the average emplOye in
the United States today" L. C.
Painter, of Hybla Valley, today
opened his campaign for election
to the Virginia State senate advo-
eating the single tax.
Mr.. Painter will advocate in his
campaign the taxing of all un-
improved lands, while those that
are improved will have low rates
of taxation or be exempt. In
this way. he claims. uncmploy-
ment and the resultant ceprCS-
sion will be wiped out, for. with
lands now held for speculation
being put to use. the unemploy,
ment situation will at once
clear up.
He said:
Each man is entitled to
the fruits of his labor-and
nothing more. Therein Ee diff
fer from socialism. But each
man should be permitted to
work if he so desires.
"If the thousands of acres
of land which are now being
held for speculative purposes
are so taxed as to make their
improvement imperative, every
one can work and we shall
know an era of prosperity such
rs we have never known be-
fore"
Mr.. Painter differentiated be-
tween the slaves of civil war days
and those of today by saying
that the earlier slaves were
driven to work under a lash while
the modern slaves must work,
but they must beg to be per-
mitted to work first.

DOES YOUR HEART
EVER PALPITATE!

In many cases palpitation is
caused by the pressure of a gas
distended stomach upon the heart,
the gas being generated - the &C
ton of excess acid on the food in
the stomach. This acidity inter-
rupts digestion, causes food to fer
ment and attacks the delicate
stomach lining, paving the way for
gastritis and even dangerous stom-
ach ulcers. One safe way to stop
the trouble and avoid possible seri-
Gus consequences is to neutralize
this excess acid. To do this quickly
safely and surely, take a little "Bis-
urated" Magnesia after meals or
whenever pain is felt. "Bisurated"
NGagnesia instantly stops the pain
ful fermentation, dispeIs the gas
and relieves dangerous pressure on
the heart You feel better right
away, and in a few minutes you
feel fine. Get a trial package

store, and forget all about the trou-
