WAR TAXLOAD
ISPROBLEM OF
NEXT CONGRESS

How far to boost war taxes, and
whether to strike hard at war profits
and practically confscate them is go
ing to be one OF the frst questions to
face Congress when It meets three
weeks from Monday.
Members OF Congress who are get
ting back to Washington say much
OF the time next session will be de-
voted to the new budget, the size OF
Il and the proportion to be raised by
taxes and the proportion to be raised
by bonds.
Chairman Fitzgerald. of the House
Appropriations Committee, who is al
ways in close touch with the nsca1
situation Of the Government. has al
ready declared taxes will have to be
increased largely.
On the one hand, there will be an
effort by the old guard Republicans
and old guard Democrats to keep
heavy taxes off war profits and great
Incomes. On the other hand. q large
and growing insurgent element In
both House and Senate will insist on
no more consumption taxes and on
the conscription of wealth.
Developments in Russia and on the
italian front make Il certain that
American preparations will have to
be multiplied. This means Appropria-
tions on q still bigger scale than in
the extra session.
Department heads thus far refuse
to forecast an estimate, but all indi-
cations are that the estimates will be
staggering In extent

j. S. TO HAVE 10
HOSP|TALSF FOR
EACH WAR UNIT

The program for the establishment
OF hospitals for the American troops
in France has been completed BY the
army medical department
Each unit of $1,000 men wfll have
four base hospitals. two evacuation
hospitals, and four field hospitals.
These operate In reverse order with
reference to distance from the firing
line. In other words, the field hos
pital Is maintained as near the battle
line as possible, often under the nre
OF enemy guns.
It gives first treatment to emerg-
ency cases and transfers others to
evacuation hospitals. The base hos
pitfalls, far in the rear, handle the cases
where long treatment or highly tech
nical operations are necessary.
Arrangements are now being made
to establish a Central European
Branch OF the Treasury Department
in France TO take charge OF the finan-
cial affairs OF the American troops
and the operation Of the naval and
military insurance bill without max
ing 1t necessary to refer those mat
ters directly to Washington.
II is planned to have auxiliary
branches near each of the principal
units OF General Pershing's forces.
r. L. CHM has been selected tenta-
lively to take charge OF the foreign
branch, with the title OF Assistant
Among his assistants will
be DR.. J. z. MauldIng, now chief clerk

As a remedy for this condition, Fuel
Administrator Garfield discussed with
his associates the question OF suH-
pending coal shipments to such plants
as have storeu away abnormal
amounts, in order to clear the way
for the small consumer. Administra-
tor GARFIELD declared that his investi-
cation would be pursued vigorously
In all localities to determine the
amounts OF coal stored beyond the inn

Redistribution OF excessive stores OF
coal has been considered by Adminis-
traitor GARFIELD as a possibility, but

How to Remove
Wrinkles Quickly

II the average woman only knew
II, II Is not at all difficult to preserve
the youthful contour and velvety
smoothness OF complexion. Every
woman hates to see her face wrlnkled
or baRgy, and practically every one
has experimented with some sort of
patent remedy IN the effort either to
remove such condition or ward II off.
AS a matter OF fact, the most effec-
tive remedy in the world Is one that
any woman can easily make up her
self at home, in a moments time. Let
her take one ounce OF pure powdered
saxolite, which she can purchase at
any drug store, and dissolve II in a
half pint OF witch hazel. Apply this
harmless and refreshing solution to
the face every day for awhile. The
results are surprislng-and instan-
taneous. Even after the very first
application a marked Improvement IS
apparent. The wrinkles are less in
evidence and the face has a comforta-
Bile. snug feeling Of nrmness that is
most delightful.
