The powder charges are, roughly,
about one-half the weight of the pro-

The smaller guns, composing the sec

The machine guns are of several pat

The small arms consist of the modi-

the Colt revolver, caliber .3S.
The projectlles used are shell and
shrapnel, the former being of two
varieties, common and armor piercing.
Common shells are of cast steel and

TO convince the public that this was

fact that during the mornin call over 49,
600 shares of stock changed hands, the
same finding a market at an aggregate
figure OF $2,gi050. In this trading n
good many OF the smaller securities
figured, there being transfers of stock
nj from half a cent to cents n share,
while the better stocks We're also fairly
well dealt in, the whole making the
day an interesting one and demonstrate
ing the fact that there IL stlll u ready
market for stocks having any standing

on the decline, being forced to do
business at sl.TIa, at which figure

of $3.50 as against offerings at $500
while Northern Light was still Hat and

The Senate committee OF finance has
Incorporated In the pending Internal
revenue bill tax on the gross re-
ceipts of corporations of one-fourth
of one per cent.
In the eyes of corporation haters this
may be popular" tax, but let us see
what 1t means. In the last few years
many small business concerns have
taken the form of corporations because
they could not get the necessary
amount of capital to do business on
from n few partners. Some of these
with a capital of 100000 may sell a
million dollars worth of goods annual
ly, and one-fourth of one per cent
would mean a tax of $1,000. Their net
profits, deducting expenses and losses
from bad debts, might not be 5000.
Why tax such corporation one-half
of It's profits, or IL 1t didn't make any
profit temperate Gas many do noD
tax 1t out of existence, when It's COM
petitor, an Individual or firm, pays
no taxi If It be decided that II is nee
essary to tax the industrial and bust
ness interests of the country in an ad-
ditlonal way ~ carry on the war, why
not make uniform tax on sales or
gross receipts of all business men and
corporations to say lilo of one per
cent? This would realize more money
and be more just and uniform, or why
not impose a license tax graduated to
the amount of busienss done? 1t is not
generally understood that corporation
means co-operatlon-by a large number
Of small partners known as stockhold-
ers, Even large and rich corporations
pay out for labor and materials most
Of their receipts. If a stamp tax is i'm
posed on checks, receipts and other
documents 1t reaches corporations as
well as other business men, and they
will not object to payinP their fair
share, but 1t seems like taxing Coop
Grating industry unjustly to tax their
gross receipts when individuals and
firms are not thus taxed. 1t Is step
backward in Industrial progress

The Information Supplied by
This Barber Will Prove of
EnestimabIe Value i'm This
Vicinity.

When the striped pole or sign, which now
indicates barber shop, was employed to let
the public know where cupping or blood
letting was professionally performed, close
shaves were a daily occurrence-not the easy
removal of the hirsute or hairy adornment
of the head and face, but close shaves from
entering eternity. More than one unfortu-
nate entered the barber-surgeon' doorway
to leave it a corpse or so weak that weeks
were required to get the victim of NAL
practice on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from heartache to corn, and
pain in the loins was invariably treated
with two incisions-one on each side of the
spine. Like plasters and liniments, these
helrSd from the counter irritation they
created, and we may presume that had Mr.
J. Nj. townsend head barber in Bliss
barber shop, in the Bank Building, Lebanon,
NH, lived in the time Of George III, of
England, in place of taking the course he did
a short time ago with his back, blood
letting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble: only kidneys
have been weak and sore ever since rails

There was dull, aching pain over my loins,
