He is still receiving decisions from
Commissioner Scott in regard to the
stamp tax law. among the more recent
being the following:
The war revenue law does not i'm
pose tax on retailers or dealers in
alcoholic liquors, but on brewers and
manufacturers. This is for the reason
that they alone are allowed the re-
bate of IL per cent on the stamps sold
to them.
No tax is imposed by the law on any
incorporated medicinal articles or
such as assume that character before
the public, or such proprietary. patent
or trademark articles and such medi-
email articles as go from the hands OF

prietHry medicines IN general, or any
other medicinal articles, though not put
UP IN the usual style of patent rnedi-
cines that are advertised on the pack
age or otherwise as specifics or RENE
dies for certain ailments having claims
to special merit. 1t is held that the
descriptions IN the law does not include
articles with technical or pharmaceu-
| teal names given them merely for the
purpose of classification. These arti-
cles are exempt from taxation: Anti
streptoccocio serum, anti-tetanic Sc
rum. anti-diphtheretie serum, the
names Of which are held to be simply
medicinal and for which no exclusive
right Of manufacture is claimed.

USE OF INSECTICIDES.
An interesting Discussion by Members of
Market Gardeners Association.

The Market Gardeners Association
held a meeting in the library of Hor-
ticultural Hall yesterday afternoon, at
which there was a general discussion
concerning the talk on plant diseases
given two weeks ago by George e.
Stone. professor of botany at Amherst
Agricultural College There was con-
siderable discussion whether the use of
insecticides are beneficial to plant and
vegetable life.
Edward Bartlett suggested that II
would be good plan to let vegetable
blight alone, for il it did destroy a
portion of the crop. 1t rendered that
crop more valuable because 1t prevent
ed surplus market. He thought
farmers could get their money In the
cpd. because they could charge greater
prices for the vegetables on account
Of their scarcity.
David FIske of Grafton told the ex-
periencc he had last summer in spray
ing potatoes. He used the BordealI
mixture for four months, while
potato blight was in force, but had
little faith in it while using it, because
it did not appear to do the leaves any
good. However, when the end of the
season came, and the potatoes were
dug, he saw that he had received great
benefits. He dug a full crop of nice
round potatoes. while neighbor who
planted In land directly across the
street. and which was just the same
as his. only got two-thirds crop.
Other members related their expert
ences with chemical preparations for
destroying insects
