CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnotiCeabIe.

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 1t 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 will 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 agrl-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay n0 part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase Of fifty cents
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent gallon III 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
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and CON-
panies with capital Of over fifty thou.
sand dollars, and even these ars 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.

rumor that the farmer or the farmers

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Boy.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains drug-cafeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
them coffee to drink.
When was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
ct the table, mother used to give mo
sips of coffee. And so I contracted
the coffee habit early.
Il continued to use coffee until was
27, and when got into Cf1ce work I
began to have nervous spells. Espe-
cially after breakfast was so nerv-
GUS could scarcely attend to my cor
respondence.
"At night, after having had coffee
for supper, could hardly sleep, and
on rising in the morning would feel
weak and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Pos
tum.
Il can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers."
