".. An act standing high in favor was tha offering of Master David Schooler, "boy Paderewiski" and Miss Louis Dickinson, a dainty little miss who sang and made pretty changes of cos tume. Master Schooler Is spectacular In his playing. He la a talented musi cian, and plays tha big things well enough not to need "stunts."

' . s V. 9 plij to t'- A::.'r!'aa a u -:." Ssrlaws Investigation. In conclusion, the president reviewed the wool and cotton Investigations of the tariff board and remarked that these had exhausted the board's appropria tion. He said: . x . "Tha pressure under which these In vestigations and reports were made in volved a greater outlay than will be necessary In the remaining schedules. Heretofore the expandlturea of the board have averaged about $30,000 a month. The board advises me that $10, 000 a month would enable them to con tinue their regular work upon other schedules. I therefore urge an appro priation of $60,000 to enable tha board to continue their valuable work during the months of April, May and June. "I cannot emphasise , too much the importance which I attribute to the work of the tariff board. The reports already made are most valuable in ad vising congress and tha people of the actual conditions under which the schedules operate, and of the changes that oueht to be made to make them more equitable In their effect. . I have directed the board to take up the metal, leather, . chemical and sugar schedules and X sincerely hope that ap propriations not only for the fiscal year, but ample appropriations for the next year will be made by congress."

Kill Prices Are Xo.ul. v , The mill prices are In many oasea equal at home and abroad, the presi dent said, and In no caae Is the mill price In this country Increased by any thing like the full amount of duty. . On the other hand," the message con tlnues, "the prices paid by consumers here are higher than those abroad, even where the prices received by the manu facturer are the same in both countries. This is the result of a system of dls trlbutlon under which the margin be tween the manufacturer's price and the retail price is much arrester than abroad. This Is partly due both to the higher cost of distribution and to the estab lished practice In the retail cotton trade of selling fabrics at oustomary fixed or "set prices, : "Under the existing system of dis tribution a slight reduotlon of duties would In some oases materially reduce the price to the consumer, while In oth er cases a large reduction would not and urn charges mm (Slil to The JonrnsH Eolee, Idaho, March I.

Great pressure is being brought to bear to Induce the govern ment to make this concession.

How to Beautify Hair and Complexion Nothing has been found 'so efficient to keep the scalp clean and healthy, and the hair lustrous, fluffy and growing, as a shampoo prepared by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox In a cup of hot water.

This shampoo prevents brittleness, split hairs and dissolves dandruff instantly. : J!An.-extremely -good Icjtlon -far better than face powder for whitening tha akin and beautifying the complexion, can be made by dissolving 4 ounces of spurmax in pint witch nasel (or hot water), then adding 1 teaspoonfuls glycerine.

I -"On account of more costly methods of distribution In this country from pro ducer to, consumer, the latter pays a decidedly higher retail price than tha European consumer, on fabrics on which the cost of production . and the mill price arenas low here as there." v This "cost of distribution" is blamed by the report for the exorbitant per centages swallowed up by the middle man's transaction of getting the cotton goods from the mill to the consumer. In comment, the president says: "On the basis of this report I now recommend that congress proceed to the consideration of this schedule with tha view to revision and reduction."
