BANKS Exempt
From the Payment Of a State
Special Corporation Excise
Tax, Says Blue.

National banks throughout the
state have been notified by Fred o.
Blue, the state tax commissioner.
that they will not be required to pay
the special corporation excise tax. as
provided for in sections five to sir
teen of chapter three. acts Of the leg
islature OF 1916.
The tax commissioner points out in
his circular 10 the bankers that the
revised statutes OF the United States
define the power OF the state to tax
national banks and deny to state
the right to collect special excise tax
from such institutions.
The circular letter mailed out by
Mr.. Blue is, believed TO have been
compiled in consequence Of CORE
spondence that passed between the
West Virginia Bankers Association
and the treasury department with re-
gard to the exemption of national
banks fror, the provisions OF the new
tax law.

BATHING Is ONE Of the most necessary
beauty aids. 1t keeps the pores of
the skin free from the lint of ones
clothes and the dust of the air,
which combines with the oily waste
thrown of through these drain
pipes by the body. The combina-
ton is clogging mass in each tiny
pore, and the result is that the
poisonous waste goes back into the
blood again, to lower its efficiency.
And the inevitable result of this
is, that the poisonous blood par
ticles will seek their outlet some
other way. Usually, they will seek
to come out on the face, forming
pimples ant bIackheads.
OF course, the daily hot bath will
not prevent this facial condition,
since one cause of the poisonous
blood is in the digestion. And an
other cause may be in a clogged
colon. If both colon and stomach
are oTerworked, or not in proper
condition, there will be all the
more poisonous matter that will
seek to escape through the blood
and the pores.
At the same time, the pores can
nourish the body. Anemic babies
and old people are nourished by
having olive oil rubbed into the
pores when the stomach cannot re-
ceiVe the needed amount of food.
Now, sea salt is a tonic-conse-
'uently, salt bath will help keep
Q Re entire body in condition. Sea
ait, already cleaned, comes In bags
h5 ten cents each, and one bag will
last for week of daily baths, if
the tub is only run half full or less.
Only the purest soap should be
used, glycerine, oatmeal, olive oil
or CASTLE being the best. These
soften and whiten the skin, making
its texture finer.
