TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK

You can enjoy a delightful
shampoo with very little effort
and for a very trifling cost, IL
you get from your druggist a
package of canthrox and dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so 1t is
easy to apply it to all the hair
instead Of just the top of the head
Your shampoo is now ready. Just
pour little at a time on the
scalp and hair until both are en-
tirely covered by the daintily per-
fumed preparation that thoroly
dissolves and removes every bit
of dandruff, excess oil and dirt.
After rinsing. the hair dries quick
ly, with a fluffiness that makes 1t
seem heavier than it is, and takes
on a rich luster and a softness that
makes arranging it pleasure.

in the revenue bill, Just
reported by the finance committee

Except for income and
war profit taxes, all the items

against high cost of living.
The senate committee prides
itself on its CLAIM that it has dis
tributed the burden 50-50-half
on the rich and half on the con-
Stunning poor.
But Great Britain gets TWO
THIRDS of her revenue from in
comes and war profits, as COM
pared with the HALF which the
senate proposes.
And of this half CLAIMED by
the senate committee to be laid
on the broad shoulders of wealth,
$360,0OO,0O0 is the corporation
tax on net earnings, which every
student of the subject knows is
simply PASSED ON TO THE con-
SUMER.
Deducting this brings the per-
centage actually raised from in
come and corporation taxes down
to about 40 per cent OF the total.

Great Britain takes 80 per cent
of all war profits; the senate, on
its own figures, takes an average

Britain taxes incomes of $780,

taxes incomes of that
size only 16 per cent. (Some OF

just happened to know that Sandy
Noyse, the piper, is i'll. Too i'll to
pipe. So far luck enters into the
case. Being i'll, Sandy can't pipe
and Tom, his son, never could
pipe. Sandy, missing his favorite
diversion, is growing steadily
worse. There are no pipers in
town, so what does Tom do? He
must entertain his father. So he
rushes down the street, sees the
pet pig in our clients front yard
and has a bunch. He grabs the
pig and runs home with 1t. Why?
Because he knows that by squeez-
ing the pig he will cause 1t to emit
the only sounds there are which
resemble the Scotch bag pipes.

He has made our everlasting
