OUR INDIRECT TAXES.
Almost Half Of Our Governments To-

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 ahord In
consulting the convenience Of the payer
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

eyes, and hear with their ears, and IN
derstand with their hearts. and should be

In bad health can have as nice hair as
the one who has no ailment. Some
diseases affect the hair more disas-
trously than others, and when trying to
improve the hair one must also try to
improve the general health.
The use Of hard water is also to be
avoided, and care must be taken in
the use Of the various drugs recon-
mended for shampooing. It is not
necessary to wash the hair every day
or ordinarily oftener than once q
week. while In some cases once month
Is too often. When washing is done, the
hair should be thoroughly dried before
being done up, and in many cases the
scalp alone should be shampOoed, wet

There are dry shampoos, as well as wei
ones, and their tonic effect is quite a
valuable. One Of the best Is to rut

Unknown Island In the Caribbean Sea

An Adamless Eden Is said to exist

Just where II is located no one is able

effect that somewhere among the nu-
merous cages Of the Caribbean sea there
exists an island inhabited only BY
women.
The aboriginal Caribs and ARRIVALS

the enemy conquered q number Of the
tribes fairest maiden we're carried on.
So goes the story.
The deplorable possibility Of losing all

legend the place is eopiously watered b.

and lovers were allowed to visit the Is
land paradise not more than twice year
in times Of peace.
But It Is further handed down that
all the men Of the tribe were eventually
wiped out in an Indian war, and that all
