The life OF baseball is threatened
in the proposed tax on gross receipts,
according to John X. Tener, president
OF the National League. In a letter
TO Senator Simmons. chairman OF the
Senate Finance Committee, Tener
urges a baseball tax such as will per-
NIT continuance OF the game.
Baseball is not the lucrative bust
ness supposed" Tener declares
More is lost thRn is made in the diff

business IL a tax were levied on the
gross receipts. 1t would necessitate
the discontinuance OF the business >"
Tener urged consideration OF a tax
levy on net returns or on each admis-
sion to the game. This plan, he says,
would permit the continuance of base
ball and would net the Government
q maximum revenue.
Under the gross receipts tax, he
says, the Government would lose all
this revenue because baseball would

Be Careful IN Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is
very injurious as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil, for IT is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.

all that is required. 1t makes an
