one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some Of tho pimples
would get big and red and II touched
them they would pain. while others
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and scratched them 90 that some
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them to be worse.

following account Of the capture Of the
first German nag:
The engagement Of the French
troops with the Ninety-ninth brigade
Of Germans lasted from $3.50 a. m. to
9 at night
The artillery combat was terrible.
The French 75-millimeter guns made
havoc among the German horses and
then reduced the heavy German guns
to silence. The gunners were decim-
ated by the French IRE and they aban-
doned their pieces, which fell into
French hands.
The German machine guns from a
church steeple continued 10 ravage the
French, but the church finally was de-
molished.
AT nightfall the French charged
the enemy's defense work with irre.
sistible energy and took them at the
point Of the bayonet. They estab-
lished themselves there for the night.
In this action the Fifth company
OF the First battalion captured Ger
man nag. with eight guns, 80 horses
and 537 prisoners. including ten off,

TAXING DISPLAY AND LUXURY

The Su22eStion made recently that a policy sounder than taxation of for tunes or incomes simply on account of their size, without regard to their source or to their use, would be that of levying imposts upon tue means of "unproductive consumption of la hor and capital" will arouse, we think, a good deal of discus ion. It is strange that those who, like Theo- dore Roosevelt and Thomas R. Mar shall, have acclaimed against the idle and spendthrift rich and have prac- tically advocated confiscation of their wealth, most of which is invested in productive industry, have not aim ed their. shafts simply at the osten- tation of the rich. Food, shelter and clothing are the prime requisites of existence. Luxurious feasts, costly mansions standing on broad estates, extravagant equipages, and long re tinues of servants represent the sat isfaction, not of necessity but of lux ury Why not tax them?
 Adam Smith, who protested against the "impertinence and presumption of Kings and Ministers n pretending to watch over the economy of private people and to restrain their excess, being themselves always and without any exception the greatest spend thrifts in the society,"" did not op- pose the proportioning of taxation to the capacity of individuals for bear ing the burden. A sumptuary law is law of prohibition. But tax on rlaying cards. on wines, on caviar, is according to well recognized prin- ciple in the forming of our internal revenue taxes and tariffs on import ed goods It is true that Cato the Censor imposed heavy tax on dress and personal adornment, especially of women. and upon favorite slaves. as incidental to his sumptuary laws against luxury. All depends on wheth- CT tbe tax is laid for revenue pur- poses or for the purpose of abolish ing {: thing which is thought evil, and the measure of the intent is in the degree with which the tax is grad cd. There is point. of course, at which the increase of tax would result in diminished revenue.
 But whatever the intent might be Of 9 tax on the expenditures of the rich for luxury or display, it's re suits would be far preferable to those achieved by confiscating estates or taxing enterprise. as is currently pro posed. Men who are guiding great industries are producers, their work benefits the entire community, sup plying it's needs and giving work to its tOilers. The work that is ex- pended in ministering to the luxur- ies Of the rich is dead loss to the community, which must pay the cost of the luxuries and of the labor that enters into their production and use.
 If the tax which is suggested seems burdensome. it would not hurt the rich to live more simply and thus 1egitimately to evade the burden.
