In pursuance of a fight against the
poll tax, two men are in the Mercer
County Jail at Trenton, New Jersey,
for refusing to pay the tax. They are
Louis Josephson and Horace Hervey,
president and secretary of the Mercer
County Anti-poll Tax League. They
have been imprisoned since February
6. The law requires that they be
kept in prison until the tax, with in
t%erest, costs, and fees, shall be fully
paid. Bail is not permitted and the
right of trial is denied. Should the
authorities, therefore, persist in strict
enforcement of the law and no one
pay the tax and other charges for
them, both men must remain in jail
for life.

men suffer the same aches and trou-

Women are especially subject to kid

worry, and the stopping, straining and
striving of housework all help to bring
it on. At first the trouble may be only
'backache, sick headache, dizziness

"You cannot afford SO much" said
one.

On being pressed to explain, she
said: Il am blind, and I said to my

that l could save SO much in the year
