CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax

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 Government plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
Ell 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 will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panles will be subject to this taxation.
but life insurance companies, and COM
panles with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
Trims, 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 a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
it will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight.

that the whole policy is to place the

BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean. sweet

II you are accustomed to wake up
with coated tongue. foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or, II your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately up.
on arising, drink glass of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos"
phate in it. This Is intended to first
neutralize and then wash out of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
of intestines all the indigestible waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from your druggist or
at the store and begin enjoying this
morning inside-bath. 1t is said that
men and women who try this become
enthusiastic and keep it up daily. 1t
Is splendid health measure for it Is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing dis
ease, while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, SO hot
water and a teaspOonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
plate is an inexpensive white powder
