A single tax contrast: A man
owns a 81 800 lot in city. He
builds on it a $25, 900 apartment
house which he rents for s.. 800 a
year, or 10 per cent on his invest
ment; then folds his hands and
lives on the income. Under the
single tax theory he is taxed only
on the value of the lot, which if
assessed at its full value is 81, 500.
A farmer owns $4,000 farm
He has to buy machinery, hire
hands and put in his own time
and labor to till it; then, if the
season is favorable, he may raise a
crop that will net him 10 per cent,
or $1,000. The assessor comes
around and under the single tax
theory assesses his land at its full
value of $4,000. He pays fosr
times as much tax as the apart.

of gasoline clinging to II. Every one
knows that few chiffon wells survive wash

to be the only cleanser.
This is not SO, however There is a
cleansing fluid which will not only restore
the veil to it's former freshness, but 1t Is
also antiseptic and destroys the thousands

The cleansing is simplicity itself. Fill

and let 1t soak short while. Then lift
the veil gently and sop it up and down in
the liquid. Never rub the chiffon. nor
should 1t be wrung out. Lifting 1t UP and
down will take all the dirt and dust from
its folds.
When ii Is quite clean shake II out as
you would shake handkerchief. Rub

close weave Of the veil and spoil its after
appearance.
The alcohol evaporates very quickly,
