Have you dandruff? Then you have
a contagious parasitic disease, unpleas-
ant, unhealthy and one that will event
ually lead to badness. To cure it you
must destroy the parasite that eats al
the root of the hair. The only prepara-
ton for destroying these germs is New
bros Herpicide. Charles Klein, Of Lar
annie, Wyo., says: "Herpicide allayed
the itching, cured the dandruff and
stopped my hairs falling out; and it
is bringing a new crop Of hair" Her
picide is free from grease or dangerous
drugs, and makes hair glossy and soft
as silk. One bottle will convince you
of its merits. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send 10 cents in stamps for
sample to The Herpicide Company, De-

BURDEN FALLS ON THE POOR
System Of Federal Taxation Enables
the Wealthy to Escape Paying
Their Just Share.

To the Worlds demand that con.

Press Objects
OF course the cutlery TO tax wealth,
not poverty is cheap demagogy, for
here wealth is taxed proportionately
The law reads in effect that a million
dollars worth be assessed for that
amount. whether 1t is owned by one.
dozen, or a thousand individuals.
This is common sense, Just taxation :"
only in the case of real estate il
It even approximately true that
wealth is taxed proportionately. The
personal property of very rich men
almost entirely escapes taxation. Fran.
chise values are taxed In New York,
but for years their owners have fought
of payments.
These remarks apply only to state
and local taxation. Federal taxation
instead Of proportionatcly burdening
the rich. is laid almost entirely upon
consumption; and 1t is so levied as
tn iall most heavily upon the cheapest
grades Of articles most commonly con.
sumed. Poor men must have food
clothes and shelter for themselves and
their children, who are more numer.
Gus than the children Of the rich: and
these things are heavily taxed.

than obtains in any other country.
