WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED

Tinkering on the War Revenue Law at the next session of Congress will be bad business. But one feature of the law will have to be changed.
 This refers to the portion putting an eight percent excess war profits tax on the income of professional men and eliminating such a tax from the income of investments or proper ty.
 For instance, a doctor. lawyer, den- tist or surgeon will have to pay eXces profits tax. while man with three times the income of any of these. but whose income happens to be from property or securities inherited from his parents. is not subject to the war excess tax
 By including professional men' in this excess tax, our patriotic con gressmen very carefully drew up paragraph eliminating their incomes from war taxation.
 This business has been hard to ex- plain to professional men, who arc straight forward and influential in their respective communities. It is not that they object to paying an eX cess war taX-not at all. The point at issue is that they must pay while others who make more from the mere ownership of property pay less.
 It is said congressman are eager to take back" the obnoxious para graph in the War Revenue Law. They realize the criticism is just and this portion of the law indefensible.
 The coming amendment probably Will be to include income from prop erty or securities in the operations of the law.
 There is another portion of the law which has come in for criticism. This refers to partnerships. Here is how an expert on taxation puts it:
 It is perhaps not generally real ized how this tax operates in the case

Thanksgiving of 1917 should find the American people and especially those of Pine Bluff on their knees. with hearts brimming over with grati- tude to the loving Father, who has so protected, blessed and glori- fled our living. 1t is war time thanksgiving, and yet. save for the few of our sons who are at the front, in France, none of us are called upon to know in person the sittrocious horrors of armies graphing with armies in fierce lust for destruction, we have not seen our cities shattered with bursting shells, nor our homes blazing with the flames of wanton ruin, nor yet our men and wome, writhing beneath the tortures of wrath drunken invaders, seeking to make of the land one great. bloody. screaming map of misery and woe.
 On the contrary. our Lols: and our Pastor has led us into sweet meadows near the still waters, and cur lives have been filled with happiness and much comforts. Prosperity has been given to us, and even in the midst of war we have known peace, and re Ceived hosts of those rich and per feet gifts that can come only from God.
 As nation, our sacrifices have been small, more than offset in the knowledge that out of our abundance we have the blessed privilege of help ing those others who are battling with us for the future peace and hap riness of the world. Truly America has cause to thank God for this won. derfud privilege. Seldom is it that either man or nation occupies the position of having been seemingly selected by the Great Creator of all to feed and clothe the rest of the people of His world. It is at once mighty and glorious prerogative that He nas given into our hands also tremendous responsibility. and as we do unto them. we may we'll be- lieve that He will do unto us.
 They are sick and in prison, yea, and on this day of Thanksgiving i've thank God for it) we a.e visiting them. They are hungry, .nd again. with Thanksgiving in our hearts, we can return the answer, Lord, we are feeding them

COBWEBS
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

Cobwebs are the result of in
attention. The Housewife who
is careless in her home duties
soon has a lot of Cobwebs look
ing at her and her guests from
the corners and little out-of-the-
way places.
Cobwebs RI regular little con-
fessors-silent though they be
of neglect.
Though you may be unable to
e them, Cobwebs get into peo-
pies Brains. And they come
there for the same reason that
they come everywhere-while
nobody is around they come in.
And they stay until cleared out.
The idle and listless and COM
planning are living examples of
people where Brain Carrots are
choked with Cobwebs.
There is but n remedy for
those whose Brains are Cob
webbed. Here it is-Think,
Work, Get Busy. There is no
room for Cobwebs where a mans
Brain Cells are flashing real
THOUGHT here and there and
everywhere.
If you feel that Cobwebs are
clogging your Thinking Machine
and that your efficiency is being
impaired-here's a quiet little
tip-Sweep out the Cobwebs.

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How To Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it re-
moves the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.-adv.
