in bad health can have as nice hair as
the one who has no ailment Some
diseases affect the hair more disas-

improve the hair one must also try TO
improve the general health.
The use Of hard water is also to be

mended for shampOOing. II is not
necessary to wash the hair every day,
or ordinarily oftener than once a

There are dry shampoos, as well as wet

OUR INDIRECT TAXES.
Almost Half Of Our Governments To-
tai Revenue Is Obtained in
This Manner.

Seriously considered, the justification
offered for indirect taxes is a most Curl
Gus commentary upon our system OF self
government, writes Winthrop NJ. Daniels,
in Atlantic. In the United States, for ex-
ample, not far from half Of the govern
ment's total revenue is obtained by dis
guising taxes In the prices Of merchan-
disc, either duty-paid imports, or liquors
and tobacco freighted with the weight Of
the internal revenue. Despite the in
cidental advantages such taxes AFFORD in
consulting the convenience Of the paye-
as to the time and the amounts Of par
ticular payments, the great reason for
the existence Of these taxes in every
country is their power to conceal from
the governed the real cost Of supporting
the government The people, in whose
interest the government supposedly is
conducted, must be induced to pay their
taxes in an unconscious condition, lest
at any time they should see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and I'M
derstand with their hearts. and should be
converted" to a belief in another than
the dominant programme Of eXpendi-
ture.
