RAISE WAR TAX
To TWO BILLION
Senate Body Decides to Get
More Revenue.
INCREASE RATE ON INCOME
Increases on Corporations, Normal In
come Taxes and 81 Gallon on Dis
tiIled Spirits Will Make Up
Additional Levy.

Washington, Aug. Increase of the
pending S1,67O,O 100000 war tax bill to
total of $2008, 100000 was decided
upon by the senate finance committee.
This will be an increase of 1888, 000,-
600. Increases on corporations, nor
NAL income taxes, on incomes of indi-
viduals of $4,000 and over and fur
Their increase of 81 gallon on distilled
spirits and so cents a barrel more on
beer, with few other minor tax in
creases, will make up the additional
levy.
Rate on Incomes Is Increased.
The committee decided to increase
the present per cent normal rate on
corporate incomes ITO per cent, as
against per cent in the bill as orig
inally drawn. 1t is expected to yield
$162, 100000 additional revenues. The
increase In surtaX rates on individual
incomes Of $4,000 and more was esti-
mated to raise from S25,000,000 to
$360O0000 additional. New excess
profits taxes will be agreed upon later.
Liquor and Beer Tax Raised.
In revising the liquor schedules the
committee estimated that by adding 81
a gallon to the tax on distilled spirits,
making 1t $500 a gallon-S2.10 over
the present law-$90, 0000 900 more reve-
nue. would be secured from that source.
The increase of 80 cents a barrel on
beer was estimated to yield S25,0000O0
more revenue, making the beer tax
1925 per barrel, as compared with
$3.50 under existing law and S2.75 as
originally proposed in the bill.
Individual Income Tax Not Fixed.
The exact rates of the surtax in
creases on individual incomes of S15,-
600 and more were not decided.
The income tax increases would re-
individual incomes of the war of at
least 81, $40, 100000 as compared with
a yield of $330,00000o year under ex-
listing law. The original bill provided
for additional war levies upon all in
comes Of $543, 100000 and the commit
tees decisions would add at least $751;
100000 more.
In view of the heavy increase for in
comes, 1t was said that the committee
might decide against further increase
on excess profits.
The additional taxes on liquor would
increase revenues from that source
from $155,500,000 to at least $270,000,-
600, with the increase Of $90000,00O
from distilled spirits and $25000,00O
from beer.
Wine Taxes to Be Increased.
Senator Simmons said that wine
taxes also will be increased, but a de-
cision as to the rate was not made.
The committee plans, however, TO raise
$S,000,000 more revenue from wines,
more than double the new taxes pro-
posed in The original bill, estimated TO
yield $G,000,0 900 Increase of consump-
ton taxes on sugar and coffee were dis

Experience of Hospital
Throws Light On Question

An interesting sidelight on this question
comes from Bellevue Hospital, New York. This
institution probably has the largest number OF
trained nurses under single management IN
the United States, They fed with scientific
regularity and by system. Miss Mamie Porter,
dietcian for the nurses home at Bellevue.
says that the women under her supervision eat
graham bread from sense Of duty. They, eat

not an uncommon expression to hear the nurses
say that they eat the graham bread because
il is healthful, not because they prefer ii.
Leon H. Condor chief OF food and drug,
Kansas State Board OF Health. adds his opin-
isF and time takes quite fling at
the part the imagination plays in the human
dietary.
White bread is legitimate and digestible
food and especially more digestbe than a
number of forms of other bread,
Il am of the opinion that people should not
be worried over the things they have read
about the dietc value OF white bread.
The trouble with most people is that they
get fad or fancy and try 10 live on one kind Of
food and such practice OF one food diet has
no scientific basis. Even If We could live on
one kind OF food such diet would be extreme
ly monotonouS.'
Western food experts stick together. Further
testimony is afforded by Dr. Barney, State Com.
missioner of Dairy and Food of Iowa.
Some OF the statements made concerning
the food value of bread made from whole wheat
seem 50 ridiculous as to justify few state
ments of facts relative to its food value a. com
pared with the value OF white bread
In the American home white bread has, for
many years, rightly and cheaply supplied a
large portion of the carbohydrates required in
the diet. During the past year or so. many
popular articles on foods have been published
which tend to create the impression that white
bread is longer TO be considered the STAFF
of Life and that bread should be made from

Coarse Particles Good

The coarse particles OF bran removed in
the milling OF -four while possessing value as
food for domestic animals is not wholly
desirable ingredient OF human food II is true
that this course material is valuable TO some
individuals for the parastalic action which II
promotes. but this IN no sense implies that the

people is deficient in ash and vitamines II

more than il does in the eating of corn,

When il comes 10 the vitamne content OF
bread there is as wide va,iety of opinions as
exists among expert alenists at the trial OF
millionaire homicide.
Or Ralph f. Lee chemical expert OF New
York insists that they reside primarily in yeast
and find their way into bread through that
medium.
Dr. Harry Snyder, former professor Of
chemistry OF the University Of Minnesota, in
cnes in the same view and this is shared by
Miss Louise Stanley, home economic depart
ment of the University OF Missouri On the
other hand. other leading authorities insist that
grains wholly lacking in yitamines and that
these found only, chiefly, in butter fats.
Recent experiments with guinea pigs are
cited in proof of this contention What seems
10 be the real essential truth is that every day
diet of bread and butter will supply practically
all the essentials of food whether the yitamines
be in the bread or the butter. The average house
wife Is but vaguely informed on the matter OF
protein content calorifc value gluten and vita

the things upon which all scientists agree are
the necessity of a high protein content of bread.

MOVIE ACTRESSES

fact, many are leading ladies just
because Of their attractive locks. In-

that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham-s
pooling. not with any soap or makes
shift, but with a simple mixture by
putting teaspoonful of canthrox
(which they get from the druegist)
in cup of hot water and applying
this instead of soap. This full cup
of shampoo liquid is enough so 1t Is
easy to apply it to all the hair in

examination Of the chemical composition o.
whole meal bread has shown that. as REGARDS
protein al least, this is not always trne, ana
even were it the case the lesser absorption
of whole meal bread which we have seen TO
occur, would tend 10 annul the advantage As
regards mineral matter, in the case OF ordinary
bread this Is not all absorbed while the absorb
ton is so much less in wholemeal bread that
the two are about on an equality. There IS,
therefore, no justification as regards the
amount of mineral matter yielded to the blood
for recommending the use of whole meal bread
by growing children or nursing women.
ON the whole. may fairly regard the
vexed question OF wholemeal white
bread as finally settled. and settled in favor Of
