Occasionally couple marry and live

his wife about where he spent the even

For reasons that have been discussed
thousands of times and perhaps for
thousands of years without reaching a
satisfactory conclusion men who are
honest in all other business relations
will cheat In taxes Of any and all kinds.
The municipality, the State and the
nation, real and personal estate, tariff
and internal levies, all are clipped of
their fair proportions by men whom
their closest friends implicitly trust,
The suggestion that comes nearest to
an explanation of the all-pervading
idea that it is permissible In an honest
man to cheat the government is that 1t
is natural to regard the individual in
very different light from that in
ch an organization of individuals
;iewed. Just as a soldier who would
hesitate to shoot a single soldier of the
enemy's force unless compelled to do
so by peril of life will cheerfully fire
at a line of battle, so man who sa-
credly respects individual property
rights will cheat his government.

to repeat an overworked and hack

Have women had sufficient time and
opportunity to demonstrate that first

FireIess stoves.

FIreless or self-cooklng stoves, which
have been so popular in Germany for a

be boiled or stewed was first thorough

The latest apparatus is said to be heat
