TAXING THE SICK FOR WAR

Resolutions adopted by the Nation
al Association of Retail Druggists
protesting against the threatened ie-
Wy Of war tax on drugs serve to
direct attention to the unfortunate
consequences such q levy might en-
tail. The European war has already
sent the price of drugs sky high.
Drug importations have been shut off
because of the war, and the supply
on hand is not likely to last long.
The high prices quoted for many
drugs will bear heavily upOi the poor
and afflicted. 1t is hard to believe
that the government would add 10 the
burden OF the poor at such "A time as
this. An internal revenue tax on
drugs would be tax on the sick. II
would be tax upon the dispenser
les of the hospitals. 1t would be a
blow ut the health of the nation.
1t might be very easy TO ollect
war tax ON drugs, but the ease with
which the collections might be made
should not count against the more i'm
portant economic fact that the health
Of h considerable portion Of the pub
lie is involved. The:s are many 9th
er and more humane ways of raising
revenue.

RULE THAT HAS EXCEPTIONS

Stone a. Experts Have Agreed
1t Should BE.

In modern masonry it is, generally
speaking, the rule that stone used in
building should be so placed that 1t
will be as it lay in its natural bed
when quarried. This rule Is not, how
ever, always to be depended upon and
In many cases needs to be supplement.
ed with other precautions.

Man's First Wluoe.

The first effort to equip man with
wings that he might fly through the,
air, says the American Boy, seems to
have been made by Watson Il. Quin-'
by. Delaware inventor. who patented
flying machine many years ago. The
inventor used the bat as the model In
designing the wings. Previous flying,
machines had been constructed, on the
balloon principle, but Quinby's appara-
tus consisted of wings ~ feet in d.
ameter and semi-circular In form. The
wings were attached to the limbs Of
the person flying. and the motions
used were very similar to those used
In swimming. The wings refused to
work, however. and no one ever sue
coeded in flying with their aid.
