______ City tax payers have until

if March 3, 1879. their delinquent taxes without
penalty or interest, and we
urge that this matter be given
prompt attention. At a recent
meeting of the city council it
was voted to file suite after
October 31st, to collect the de-
linquent taxes, and also there
will be the added interest and
„c . penalty. Tax payers have an

It is gratifying to learn from
the National Board on Geogra-
phic Names that the tight way
to pronounce the name of Ad-
dis Ababa, the capital of Ethio-
pia, is as if it were spelled
“Ahdis Awawa,” with the ac-
cent on the first syllable of
each word.
That goes to show how little
most of us know—or care—
about the right way to pro-
nounce the names of foreign
places. Practically every
American pronounces “Paris1’
the way it is spelled, instead of
calling it “Paree,” as the
French do. Anybody talking
about “Mathreeth” would be
regarded in these parts as a
sissy, but that’s how Spaniards
pronounce the name of their
capital city, Madrid. As far
as that goes, most of us are as
we are with those of Ethiopia,
careless with Italian names as
If we’ve got to say "Adhia
Awawa,” why aren’t we under
equal compulsion to say
"Roma,” “Napoli,’’ "Firenze”
and "Genova” instead of our
slipshod American way of pro-
nouncing Borne, Naples, Flor-
ence and Genoa the way we
spell them?
Host of us, anyhow, feel like
pronouncing this whole Italiar-
Ethiopiar. war a mistake.

MONUMENTS TO BOOK ALL ABOUT US
•' Professor Huxley did not stand alone in his opinion. James
Anthony Froude, never accused of prejudice in favor of
orthodoxy, said;
— The Bible, thoroughly known, is a litera-
ture in itself—the rarest and richest in all
departments of thought and imagination
which exists.
Said Frederic Harrison, foremost exponent
of the religion of Positivism:
The English Bible is the true school of
English literature. It possesses every qual-
ity of oar language in its highest form.
The book which begot English prose is still
its supreme type.
Lord Macaulay wrote;
The English Bible—a book which, if
* ' everything else In our language should
perish, would alone show the whole extent of its power
and beauty.
And Charles Dickens, writing to his son:
I put a New Testament among your books for the very
same reason and with the very same hopes that made me
write an easy account of it when you were a little child—
because It is thd best book that ever was or ever wili be in •
the world, and because it teaches you the best lessons by
which any human creature who tries to be truthful and
faithful can possibly be guided.
So we might discuss the Book In its influence on literature
and on law; in its ebatribution to the spread of the English
language; in Us inspiration of philanthropies, for, as Lecky
said in his History of European Morals, it has "covered the
globe with countless institutions of mercy, absolutely unknown
to the pagan world.” Volumes have been written, and wili be,
on every phase of this subject, bat we do not need them. The
monuments to the iBook are all about us; every department of
modern civilized life bears the record of its influence.
Instead of rehearsing again these well-worn testimonies, let
us close this series with a single dramatic story, a story so old
that surely many readers will find it entirely new.
It starts with George ID of England, in the year 1788. In
that year the Royal Society of London appealed to the King to
send a royal expedition to the South Seas to observe a transit
of Venus across the disk of the sun, which event was to occur
in 1769. A bark of three hundred and seventy tons was ac-
cordingly sent out, and the island chosen was for a time called
King George’s Island, but later it became and at present is
known by its native name of Otaheite, or, in its abbreviated
form, Tahiti. It is there the modern writers go to get local
color for their South Sea stories.

The complexion marred by
constant blemishes is not one
for the beauty shop alone. No
creams will do the trick all by
themselves. A healthy diet
excluding excess of sweets,
starches, fatty foods, rich des-
serts and highly spiced foods
is of first importance. Faulty
elimination should be correct-
ed. A soft complexion brush,
a bland soap and much rinsing
daily are necessary. Drink wa-
ter. Drink more water. And
even more. But if the case is
really serious, see your doc-
tor immediately.
Hats in felts with self de-
signs arc something new this
autumn. In herringbones and
other patterns, they are espe-
cially effective.
One of the most successful
methods of cooking vegetables
with the usual kitchen utensils,
is to use the heaviest pots you
have with the heaviest 'lids you
can get, use only a small
amount of water, turn the
flame as low as you can and
still keep the water boiling,
and in the event steam escapes
about the edge of the cover,
torn the flame even lower. This
keeps all the flavor of the
vegetables possible, and keeps
them tender.

model shoes for women are be-
ing shown with lastex straps to
fit as snugly and firmly as a
girdle.

One of the fall suits being
shown in Paris has four
pockets on the semi-fitted
jackets, all four of them put
on at a decided angle away
from the vertical.
Mrs. Estelle Sternberger,
executive director of World
Peaceways. is working on a
plebiscite to give the people
of the United States a chance
to' express their opinion on
war. She is confident that a
very small percentage will vote
for war, and scoffs at the idea
that the masses can be drawn
into another war through the
appeal to patriotism. “The
masses have learned that
patriotism may mean staying
at home,” she says.
