YOUR TAX COLLECTOR.

Some folks like to say that Mr.
Booze Business is a sort of indirect
tax collector for Uncle Sam & Co. He
is, and he makes money at it, too. For
every $1,000 in indirect" taxes which
he turns into the treasury Of the ma
tional firm, he also collects another
$780, which he keeps for his trouble,
probably as a commission or reward
for his services. You know the kind
of people who charge Sc per cent Of
the gross amount of their collections
for a commission. Do you want that
kind of a collector in your employ?
Again, the collector" gets more
than five times as much as your firm,
for whom you imagine he is working.
Is he working for you, or working you?

the best neighborhoods in an Ohio city,
says the American Issue. This brewer
has a wife and children and they are
bright and well-behaved. But this fam
lily has no neighbors. 1t has no neigh
borhood callers. 1t is let alone. 1t is

they belong to the brewer. The brewer

Making the Little

A story Of real success with poultry
comes to hand occasionally and makes
interesting reading for almost every
body. The truthful history Of Henry
Fenns chicken farm, the greatest poul-
q, try plant in Michigan, has a romantic
sound.
Fifteen years ago Henry's father
gave to him a dozen choice White Leg
horns and an acre of land containing
a small building. The boy was then
thirteen years Old. Henry had $72 in
the bank, and with this for working
capital he started his career. The

GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS VIEW

"We should not discuss moderation
with a man." writes Doctor Matthaei,
a staff physician in the German army,
and in these words he voices the gem
eral opinion of German anti-alcohol-
lists. "The thing has long since been
settled by science. The use of mar
cotic poisons is simply indecent and
criminal. One should always decline
to take part in any festival occasion
where drink is used. One who makes
of a well, a slightly alcohol-sick per-
som. e., moderate drinker-should
be punished for it socially until we
can get leave to punish legally. Wills
of men made in an alcOhOlized or
slightly alcoholized state should be
contested. DrunkardS are made by
hospital prescriptions of alcohol. The
law should hold such hospitals legally
liable. 1t must be considered incOm-
patible with the honor Of a city or
government to allow the activities of
poison factories, such as breweries and
distilleries."

the individual prohibits the use of in

bars the use of intoxicating drinks to

right to take the pledge as the individ-

Painleve in Rome was taken here today

cessfully repulsed the first blow aimed
by the Germans in the Trentino, in the
expected enemy offensive there, and
that the Tagliamento line still, stUod

feet. Not only was this looked for in a
military improvement, but it was ex-
pected that closer welding of the al
lies would follow, not only in prosecu-
tion of the war, but in more intimate
association of political forces. 1t is now
recognized here that German propagan-
da has played great part in political
unrest in Italy. Germany probably
struck with her army at time when
political troubles in Rome, possibly fo-
mented by German agents, were thought
by the German propaganda chiefs to
have brought the neation ready for
peace,
There has sbeen a recouoiing Of late
in all allied nations of German propa-
ganda efforts to stir up disaffection be-
tween the entente powers. Prompt ac-
tion will be taken to offset this enemy
