measure as an administration propos-
al. Last year, taking advantage of
the fact that congress must quit on
March 4, opponents of the shipping
legislation talked the bill to death. 1t
is doubtful if any such tactics will be
attempted this year, although there
is strong Republican and some Demo
cratic antagonism to the measure as
it stands. The bill. generally speak
ing, however. seemingly is more at
tractive to senators who last year
stood in opposition.
The proposed legislation commits
the government to the expenditure OF
some fifty million dollars for the pur-
chase or the construction of ships
which are to be leased to companies.
The understanding is, and it is on this
understanding that some men may be
induced to vote for the measure. that
the government will not buy many
ships, but will exercise its energies in
construction. One thing which stood
in the way of the passage of the ship
ping bill as it was last presented was
the belief of a good many senators
that the government intended to pur-
chase informed ships belonging to a
belligerent country, to use them and
thereby possibly to embroil the United
States in foreign troubles.

he heard a voice, and, following the
sound. he came upon Commander
Washington upon his knees in the

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

Wrong food and drink cause lot OF
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is i'll, particu-
larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustration: A lady in
Mo. was brought around tc health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until I was i'll
most Of the time. About four years
ago l left of coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along. but I was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then changed my food aud began
using Grape-Nuts in addition TO
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day I gained in flesh and strength I'M

peared. feel that owe my health
TO Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled. for a long
time. with occasional cramps. and
slept badly, Finally I prevailed upon
him to leave OF coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
a few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back TO coffee" Name

Discussing Taxation Plans.

Every day now the members of the
ways and means committee of the
house are discussing the question OF
how to raise additional revenue to
meet the requirements of expenditures
which will be made necessary by new
legislation, especially that of prepared
ness, which, of course, will cost money,
although the argument is that the
money spent for preparedness is sim.
ply a premium paid on a policy to in.
sure safety.
OF course the Republicans urge q
high tariff as a means of raising reve-
nue., thus doing away to a great degree
with more direct systems of taxation
Just at present however, there seems
to be no strong ground for belief that
a tariff, high or low, will accomplish
much when there are comparatively
few goods coming in upon which TO
levy it. AS things are the Democrats
in the house, where revenue legisla
turbed because Of the tax-levying prob
lem which cOnfronts them.
1t seems to be assured that the dom.
inant party will do all that it can to
spread the tax so that the ordinary.
plain, everyday small business man
and wage and salary Garner shall not
feel it. 1t seems to be assured that
such things as taxing bank checks
fa6
wage earners and salaried men occa
sionally must use. will be foregone
The gasoline tax proposition also
seems to have blown itself up. With
these into the discard have gone some
other taxing schemes which were di
rect in their application to the men
who in the main do not pay income
taxes.
1t seems likely. also, that the house
will not allow the taxable income limit
to be lowered. The dominant party
fears the result of leyying on the 81, 900
income of the benedict. So the prob
able solution Of the income tax mat
ter will be the raising of the tax on big
incomes. 1t seems to be a pretty good
scheme from the point of view of the
moderate-incomed one-and here one
can write with a full heart-to tax the
fellow who gets a lot of money yearly
no matter whether he earned it or has
others earning it for him
The taxes on beer and perhaps on
whisky will be raised. There is a
thought running through some mems
heads here that even If the people
complain about an increased tax on
beer they will have no righteous
ground for their complaint. Glasses
probably will be reduced in size if the
tax on beer is raised. and so, as some
men view it, the less beer the people
get the better off they will be, and
therefore the tax is q direct tax. AS
for whisky, it may not be touched, for
there seems to be feeling that the
levy on it is about as high as it can
be made.

Seaman's Law Amendments.

There is still deep interest in Wash
ington in the efforts which are being
made to secure amendments to the
seaman's law. The Great Lakes ship,
ping interests are deeply concerned in
this matter and their views have been
all the force possible The opposition
to an amendment which will exempt
the Great Lakes shipping interests
from the laws governing ocean travel
is alert and obstinate. 1t is said that
there is a growing feeling in congress
that the fresh water seas should have
been given the exemption that was
given certain narrow bays and sounds
of the salt water seas, but it is a
question whether or not this feeling
will induce congress to take. up the
matter of amendments at this session
The matter will be pushed, however,
by the interests involved and the feel
ing will be kept alive for another
session if it cannot make Roadway at
this one.
