I Such a direct tax would be felt less
by the users of automobiles than if it
was placed on the gasoline which they
must buy said Senator Simmons
For dealers in gasoline might take
advantage of the tax on gasoline to
put. up the price to consumers by
many times the actual tax"
Undoubtedly large number of amend
ments will be offered to the bill when
it reaches the Senate. Senator Robin
son of Arkansas is in favor of addi-
tional tax on cigarettes. Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska will offer an amend
ment for a graduated tax on cigars
according to their value.
A tax of 2 per cent on rectified spirits
probably will be advocated.
Republican senators are preparing to
fight the tax measure to the extent of
their ability. They desire to show that
if the democrats would abandon the
rivers and harbors bill and would cur
tail other expenditures there would be
no reason for placing a further burden
upon the people at this time.
Saloon Men Protest.
Saloon men all over the country are
beginning to send protests to senators
and members of Congress against the
proposed additional tax on beer. They
insist that it will fall heavily upon
them. since 1t is obvious that they can

Increased price for beer because of the
tax on manufacturers.
Protests are being received also from
the wine interests against the pro-
posed tax on wines.

CURE IS DISCOVERED
FOR DREAD PELLAGRA
Cause Also Determined by Public

The cause OF pellagra has been de.

is the cause of pellagra. Diet is the
cure for pellagra. This is the conclu.
sion of the public health service an
nounced today.
No greater achievement is registered
TO the record of the public health
service In opinion of its officials. For
centuries the cause of pellagra has
bafied investigators. who have loaned
their opinion to many diverse theories.
The discovery Of a cure has been even

agency for centuries, claiming its
thousands of victims. In the United
States the prevalence of pellagra has
been recognized over period of less
than decade. in which the public
health service has given its attention
to observation of its symptoms. causes
and experimenting with remedies.

tiveness of results. Pellagra is neither
contagious nor infectious. but dietary

generous diet and rest, he is confident,

weeks.

on the effect of forced feeding on the

Senator Simmons Approves
Elimination of Freight Tax
From the War Revenue Bill

Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee of the Senate, which
must handle the war revenue bill, to-
day expressed his qualification at the
action of the House democratic caucus
in eliminating the freight tax. 1t is
understood that Senator Simmons
frankly told the President and Mr..
Underwood yesterday that it would be
impossible to put the freight clause
through the Senate.
II hope that the bill az passed by
the House will be in such shape that it
may readily be accepted by the Sem
ate,'' said Senator Simmons.
He said there was some disposition
to place a tax on the horsepower Of
automobiles instead of a tax on gaso-
