WARNING TO
HOUSEWIVES
Federal Food Administrator for
KentuCkCy Warns Against Un-
American Propaganda.

The writer has heard a good deal
of talk in the last few weeks about
the government Selling portion of
the busy housewives canned goods,
etc, and, although We have always
contradicted the statement, the fol-
lowing will, no doubt, convince the
doubling ones that no such step is
contemplated by the government:
F. NJ. Sackett, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Kentuckcv, has is-
sued the following statement:
"What appears to be a deliberate
un-Amcrican propaganda to prevent
housewives from canning their sur
plus fruits and vegetables, is being
carried on in Louisville and other
cities. The report has been circu-
lated, and to all appearances in
systematic manner, that the Govern
ment is going to seize for war pur-
poses so per cent of all canned
goods found in the pantries of the
homes. Another report which has
gained considerable currency is that
federal inspectors will take an in
vcntory of canned goods in every
home and take away everything ex-
cept barely enough to supply the
needs of the families involved.
Through the efforts of the pub
lie officials, the schools and patriot
ic individuals, the canning of sur
plus food products has been devel-
oped to large extent in Kentuckcy.
Right now there are thousands of
women in Kentucky who are adopt
ing this method of helping to win
the war. These women may rest
assured that the government will
not confscate the product of their
labor. This is America, not Ger
many, and those who can food will
continue to eat it or sell it or give
it away as they please. Any state
ment to the contrary is a dangerous
misrepresentation, and whether in
tended to do so or not, is bound to
work to the detriment of this coun-
try and her preparedness"

WAR TAX BILL
BEFORE HOUSE
Revenue Measure Will Be Passed
and House Will More Than
Likely Adjourn Shortly.


which is up for final action in the
House, "catches" almost everybody
from the cradle to the grave, and,
for good measure, levies few
taxes on the heirs.
Baby's first dash of talcum pow
der will, under the 2 per cent. man
ufacturers' tax on cosmetics, help
Uncle Sam to carry on the war, and
after death the Federal collectors
will be on hand to get the inheri-
tance tax at advances on the pres
ent rate at from 1 per cent on $780,
900 to 10 per cent on $1,000,O0O.
Between birth and death most of
mans activities would he taxed,
voting a proxy at a meeting of
cemetery association being one of
the few specifically exempted.
Those who have profted most by
the war, the recipients of enormous
excess war profits will pay the most
to help carry it on. Almost half
the total amount of the bill, or about
81, ITO, 100000 is to be collected
from them.
The person who writes a postal
card will be caught, for cards will
sell for cents each by the provi-
sions of the bill. Letters will be 3
cents. One will be taxed when he
goes to a moving picture show, if
the admission is over cents, one
tenth of the cost of the ticket. That
rate will affect all who attend
Iamusements, from the man in the
gallery to the one in the box.
A host of stamp taxes, designed
to raise $4,000, 900, also will get
the man with little money in many
ways. His greatest consolation is
that the consumption taxes, which
would have made him pay on coffee,
tea and sugar, were stricken from
the bill.
The man of moderate means as
well as the wealthy is affected by
the income tax section. Normal
rates have been doubled and exemp-
tiOns lowered to $1,000 for single
persons and $4,000 for married
ones. Surtaxes for incomes above
$4,000 range from l to so per cent,
the maximum applying to incomes
over 100000. This section is
expected to raise $GOO,OOO,OO0.
Included in the taxes imposed on
manufacturers are levies of one
quarter of cent foot on motion
picture films; per cent on the sale
price of chewing gum and 3 per cent
on automobiles, musical instruments
and jewelrY.
Even drowning ones tax troubles
in drink or sending them up in
smoke will cost more, for the levies
on all kinds of drinks and tobacco
soar. The new rate on whiskey is
500 per gallon and beer $3.50 a
barrel. Wine taxes will be doubled
and even grape juice will be taxed
cent a gallon. A person cannot
escape taxes by travel. Eight per
cent is assessed on passenger tick
cts and steamer tsckets also pay a
tax.
Some confusion and misinterpre-
tation has arisen out of the wording
Of the section imposing stamp taxes
on negotiable instruments which
has been misconstrued to mean that
tax has been placed on bank
checks. The bill says:
Drafts or checks payable other
wise ,than at sight or on demand"
etc, 2 cents for each $40. The Of
fetal Interpretation of this section
is that as check is payable at sight
and on demand, it, therefore, is ex-
oluded from tax.

CLUB OWNERS BREAK OFF WITH
PLAYERS FRATERNITY
BY Mark Shields

BdSeDdll'S SLTlk6 OF prayers -
about to die a-bOrning. The Nation
al league has severed relations with
the Baseball Players Fraternity and
the American league undoubtedly
will take the same action when 1t
meets in New York.
The parent majors action means
it will have nothing more to do with
the players as a body, but will deal
with them as individuals. An agree
ment made in Cincinnati in 1914,
when strike was first preached, is
done away with.
While the magnates were seVehng
affairs with the players, Manager
McGraw of the Giants was having a
session with Dave Fultz, president of
the players body. What Fultz had
to say must have strongly impressed
the Giant manager, for he tried to
appear before the club owners with
the result of his conversation. It is
also understood that Fultz wanted
to talk to the owners today.
Digging for the meaning of all this,
it is probable FUltz had come to a
realization Of the fact that a strike
was not the popular move now and
would not receive support from the
fans. Conditions in baseball are not
ripe for any action that will give the
game the slightest setback.
This is especially true of the Ma
tiOnaI league, which, even with its
greatest strength mustered, does not
look to be a powerful organization
for the coming campaign. Critics are
pointing to the New York Giants as
a wonderful team, and declaring it
will run away with the flag.
But the Giants are full of temper
ament, there are several stars who
possess exaggerated egOs, and they
are not apt to pull together. And if
the Giants do not come through,
what can be expected Of other clubs.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-14

1t is a fairly safe bet that the ma
jOrity of players now unsigned have
turned down their contracts because
of salary differences and not because
of any fraternity loyalty. Some of.
them were working under wartime
contracts, swollen beyond all reason.
They have been given reductions that
were inevitable.
Admittedly, some have been cut
beyond what they should have been,
but their differences can probably be
adjusted.
Grover Alexander, PhiIIy pitching
star, is a bOld-Out solely because Of
money, and Alex is one fellow who
has something on his side. He has
been getting $4,000 a year, not due
to any wartime contract Alex was
the star of the National league last
year. He was more valuable to his
team than any other player. in the
circuit. He was the great drawing
card of the outfit. Therefore he is
justified in asking an increase.
But there are some other fellows
who have been getting a lot more
money than they are worth. Natur-
ally the sympathy of the fans is usu-
ally with the athlete, but this SYM
pathy will be aIienated if the players
try to draw down more than they are
entitled to.
There is right on both sides of the
question. Baseball is a sport and
DIT
from the magnate's standpoint it is
also something Of a business prOpO-
sition and he should not be censured
if he tries to make profit on his
investment.
Magnates during the last three
years have not been getting rich
Those who have made money can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
If they continue to lose, baseball will

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
DRU GGIST SAYS LADIES ARE US
ING RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades. turns gray, dun and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sui
phur in the hair. our grandmother
made up mixture of Sage Tea and
sulphur to keep her locks dark and
bea utiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive. use only the
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for so cent bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly. that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair taking one smal lstrand at a time
BY morning the gray hair disappears;
hut what delights the ladies with
wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound
is that. besides beautifully darkening
the hair after few applications it
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives il an appearance OF abund-
ance.
wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color ana a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. It is not intend

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
PIMPLES ARE IMPURITIES SEEK
ING AN OUTLET THROUGH
SKIN PORES.

Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, pOisons and Inn
purities which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body
IL is the function of the kidneys 20
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine.
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins aud impurities
than the kidneys can eliminate, then
the blood uses the skin pores as the
next best means of getting rid of
these impurities which often break
out all over the skin In the form of
pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin
of these eruptions, says a noted au-
thority. is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts AMI
take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before break
fast for one week. This will prevent
the formation of toxins in the bowels.
1t also stimulates the kidneys to nor
NAL activity, thus coaxing them to
filter the blood of impurities ana
clearing the skin OF pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lith-
ia. Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent drink which usually makes
pimples disappear; cleanses the
blood and is excellent for the kidneys
as well.
