The New Baby
is Worlds Wonder

Every tiny infant makes iife's per-
spective wider and brighter. And what
ever there is to enhance its arrival and
to ease and comfort the expectant mother
should be given attention. Among the
real helpful things is an external alb
dominal application known as Mothers
Friend" There is scarcely a community
but what has its enthusiastic adnirer Of
this splendid embrocation. IT is SO well
thought of by women who know that most
drug stores throughout the United States
carry Mothers Friend as one of their
staple and reliable remedies. It is applied
to the abdominal muscles to relieve the
strain on ligaments and tendons.
Those who have used 1t refer to the
ease and comfort experienced during the
period Of expectancy; they particularly
refer to the absence of nausea, often so
prevalent as a result Of the natural
expansion In little book are described
more fully the many reasons why
Mothers Friend has been friend

gestions and helps for ready reference. 1t

WHAT PART DOES
A WAR TAX
PLAY?
IMPORTERS HAVE TO FIGURE ITS
INFLUENCE ON VALUES
OF GOODS

New York, Oct. IS. The European
war is bringing to the front many
new and rather perplexing problems
for importers and customs officials
alike One of these relates to the
question Of the part war taxes should
play in estimating the foreign market
value of merchandise exported from
the country where such taxes have
been levied as result Of the general
conflict now raging in Europe,
The Netherlands, for instance, has
imposed war taxes to compensate for
the losses in trade. due to the war by
the interruption or curtailment of
commercial relations with other coun-
tries, and to raise money to pay the
cost of the mobilization Of troops to
maintain the Kingdoms neutrality.
The question has now arisen here
whether the Dutch war taxes are in
ternal levies Of merely export taxes.
Importers of goods from Holland, in
some instances, are claiming that the
Dutch taxes are not internal but
should be regarded by the customs
officers here as possessing an export
character.
The reason for this view by import
ers is that if the Dutch war taxes are
held by the American customs admin
istration to be internal they must be
added to the foreign market value as
a basis for the assessment Of duties;
whereas if export taxes lhey cannot
be added to make market value upon
entry here. In practically all cases
the appraising officials of the custom
service at this port are making market
value on the basis of the prices pre-
yaling before the war. Some goods
coming from Germany have been re-
turned at the values known to exist
there just before the war started,
since it has been impossible for the
officials here to get definite informa-
zion as to current prices.
Just what war taxes have been i'm
posed in Germany since the war be-
gan are unknown to the customs adj
ministration, but when light is thrown
on this phase of the situation it is
regarded as possible that the taxes
will be included in the market value
Of the merchandise, thus calling for
the payment of higher duties, both
on goods of German production as
well as on those of other countries
recouping their national finances by
means of special war taxes. This
question, it is said, is being investi-
gated by the treasury department to
the end that equitable duties may be
collected from foreign merchandise
when the taxes result in the goods

CHURCH IS LOSING
IT'S old time POWER
EVANGELIST GRIMM SAYS EDUcA-
TIoN HAS sUPPLANTED
SPIRITUALITY

Interest is rapidly growing in the
revival at the First Baptist church.
Evangelist Grimm preached en- The
Church Has Lost Its Power" last
night. He compared the church to
Samson, reciting the Bible story OF
how Samson let Delilah coax him into
telling her where lis strength lay, and
after shaving his locks he became as
other men and lost his wonderful
strength.
The evangelist said;
1T is sad to see a physical giant
lose his strength and poweIt It is
tragic to read how poor old Samson
lost his power and had to suffer his
eyes punched out. But the greatest
tragedy today is to see the church
losing her power" In pathetic tones
the evangelist said: Don't you recall
how you used to go to the old time
meetings and what a reverence you
had for those services? Some Of the
reasons we have lost our power are
we have substituted education for
spirituality; there is too much denom-
national jealousy. Lord help us to
put first things first We are here
to make believers out Of the unsaved,
and not Baptist. Our twentieth cen
tury- churches have made the services
too much Of a social center and these
things are sapping our power. In
Gods name let US come back to the
old time worship and regain cur loat

MAY PROVIDE TWO ADDITIONAL VOTING

Such Action on Part of Board of Supervisors Would Greatly Add To the Convenience of the

There is every possibility that by the tune the general election rolls around in November the Lowell vot- ing precinct will have been supplied with at least three voting places, thereby greatly lessening the hard ships as experienced heretofore by the voters of that district a number of whom were unable to exercise their voting privilege owing to the hour fixed by law for the closing of the polls and due to the fact that Lowell was supplied with only one voting place
