PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton viii Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
these companies or firms viii have to
contribute One-Quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies.
banks. mining. milling. and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation.
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization. and companies.
firms, or individuals engaged in aari-
culture or stock raising, are exempt.
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
OIL The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others, of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers

 We took up Grape Nuts immediate ly after returning from a five years sojourn in a hot country. Our stom- achs were in bad condition and we were in poor health generally.
 Tn a day or two we liked Grape Nuts better than any other kind of food on the table. We both gained steadily in health and strength, and this was caused by Grape Nuts and Postum.
 "A friend of ours had a similar ex- perience. She was seriously i'll with indigestion and could find nothing to eat that would not give her heartburn and palpitation, especially at night.
