SMOKE UP AND HELP
YOUR UNCLE SAMUEL
WAR TAX GIVES CHEWERS AND
DIPPERS OPPORTUNITY ALSO
TO DO THEIR BIT.

Now is the time for all users of
tobacco to come to the aid of their
country.
Now is the time that husband
who smokes or chews can say to his
wife who demonstrates:
But would you have your hus-
band be Stacker? No! A thousand
times no! | will do my bit for the
nation, if | have to smoke five pack
ages of cigarettes a day.
And if she "dips" she can make
the same retort when he remon-
strates.
But smoking and chewing and
dipping" will cost more than it did.
Dawson tobacco dealers are prepar-
ing to pass the nice little new
war tax right on to the consumer.
Congress passed the war revenue bill
Thursday, and it took effect at once.
Tobacconists will be taxed for the
stock now on hand as we'll as future
supplies.
The wholesale tobacco companies
are advising retailers to charge an
extra cent for each cents worth
of cigarettes, plug tobacco, smoking
tobacco and snuff. That makes a
nickel stack of Tags cost 6 cents, q
dime bundle of coffin nails II cents
and a lucent package of business
mans delights Is cents, in case you
haven't an adding machine handy.
There is war tax on cigars, but
nothing was said about raising retail
prices on them further than sug-
gestion that the full price be charged
when sold by the box.
Tobacconists are being notified by
A. O. Blalock, collector of internal
revenue, to take inventories of stocks
and submit reports.
Additional taxes were placed on
soda fountain syrups and liquors
Heavier imposts were also placed
on alcoholic products, but that means
nothing in q Georgian's life.
