ment derives from most other taxes is
clear revenue. For instance, in time
of war, when a tax is put on tele-
grams, the government is not re-
quired to pay anything back from the
telegram tax on account Of the tele-
gram having been written. WITH
1idnof the conditions are different.
The income is not all profit. In
addition to furnishing method of
paying taxes, liquor also makes it
necessary for the people to maintain
larger almshouses, larger workhouses,
larger reform schools, larger prisons,
larger hospitals and larger charitable
institutions than would otherwise be
necessary. We pay back greater
proportion Of the liquor tax in main.
taining that tax than many Of us
realize. In tact, it has been asserted,
md not without reason, that we thus
|pay back ALL Of the revenue that We
derive for state and city governments
by licensing the liquor traffic. The
whole taxation argument, as applied
to the liquor problem, pleads for pro.
hibitioh. It's only because people
do not think for themselves that some

NEW BOOKS.
Food prsss srvation.


 The proper preservation of food Tor future consumption apparently appeals so strongly to the National Associa- tion for the promotion of public health that the organization has issued a small volume dealing exnaustively with the various phases of the sub ject. The volume traces the history or the storing pf foods from earliest times toptf1e present, and presents a sympo- sium of opinions from various author. ities in which the present status or the national food law is upheld. The work, which appears to have been carefully done, is frankly in opposition to many popular beliefs upon it's subject, and yet because of that will doubtless serve to throw considerable light upon the controversy that now exists wltn regard to certain preservatives, ana which all thinking individuals nave come to regard as purely commercial campaign carried on and kept allve by the advertisers. However, the small book will doubtless serve to clear ap some points in connection with the food question. and it is well supplied with a listed bibliography of authori- ties setting forth all the experimenta l. tion with the preservative question It is interesting also tc note that va rious authorities are quoted who have been supposed to be unalterably op- posed to the present governmental en- d.,rSeIueIit of md attn ude toward 1000 conservatives. among them Dr. Harvey w. Wiley. A resume of the biblio- graphy would seem to uphold the md ings of those chemists who find no ob- lection to the use of a proper preserv- atiVe.
