Tax to Kill Racing.

daily on each principal race track
while II is staging meets. This will
hit Dufferin. woodbine, and Hill

Fort Erie, and Windsor. =
Hitherto the tax has been $500 a
day, netting the government $40, 600
year. II Is expected to be raised
to 100000.
The hitch in the governments
plans come, though. in the probable
cutting out of meets at most OF
these tracks. Then. instead OF get
ting $4,000 a year. not even that
amount will be obtained.
The racing associations say they
cannot AFFORD to hold meetings that
are to be taxed so heavily. They are

Real Cause OF Badness.

Men cut their hair short and women
do not, and it is popular impression
among men that cutting the hair in
creases the growth. If 1t does, it must
be very limited aid to growth, says
the American Magazine. The real
causes Of badness In men, according
to those who have carefully studied
the subject, are the bats they wear.
Women also wear hats, but theirs are
fastened to their hair and do not grip
the head. The tight-ftting hats men
wear interfere with the nourishment
Of the roots Of the hair. They COM
press certain arteries, veins and
nerves. with the result that the hair
Is retarded in it's growth. The main
vessels carrying nourishment to the
roots of the hair are in front Of the
ears on the underside Of the skin
and are easily compressed between
the skin and the skull.
