As a rule. Madam has a regular old

There are many advantages 20 this

Authorities state that deliveries

Overhead expenses bank h 'gh IN the
cost Of food and must eventually be
paid by the consumer. Included in
these are deliveries, clerk hire and
telephone service. The housewife
can reduce all ~ these TO the lowest
terms by careful planning. Go to
market in person and the telephone
service is eliminated. List the family
needs before leaving home. Learn
quality goods Read the labels. These
preparations reduce the clerk ser

One OF the greatest advantages Of
the cash and carry system. is that
the housewife becomes familiar with
all foods the market affords. She soon
learns the economy OF buying quality
goods at all times.
She will purchase fresh vegetables
in season and in Just the quantity she
needs. she will learn the names of
quality goods that satisfy her family
and run uniform, and she will repeat

The wise manager will lay In q

foods. as they are always ready and
satisfactory.
When carrying home purchases It
is a good practice to take home a
package OF some pantry staple every
time your days needs are light. This
will even up the carrying.
It is never necessary, Il this plan
IS followed, TO have a acumhersome

WAR TAX LEVIES
ARE AGREED OF
Congress Today Gets Mea-

EXCESS PROFITS BEAR
BURDEN IN REVISION

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - The
war-tax bill, increased to raise ST.
700. 100000 Federal revenue in addl-
ton to s1.sSS,OOO.OOO provided under
existing low, was completed yester-
day by the Senate and House con-
ferees.
After two weeks elaboration the
confsrees reached an agreement on
the bill--the largest in American his
tory and four months IN the making
Rnd sent the revised draft to the
printer. While the action was Off
hally said to be tentative, virtually
only normal approval of the new

ton OF the conference report TO the
House late today Is planned II Will
De considered first by the House and

week is regarded assured.
Additional taxes Of between $780,
100000 and S300,000000 more tran

100000 were added by tho conferees.

var excess profits and Ss42, 200 900 on

being divided among other items.
with few new taxes added and
many eliminated House provisions
restored.
The system OF levying war excess
profits taxes, however. was virtually
rewritten in a compromise between
the Senate war profits and House
excess profits systems. A minimum
exemption OF z per cent. on invested
corporate capital Is said TO be pro-
gided. with modified allowances for
Intangible assets.
The only change in the Senate in
come tax section was TO rearrange
and harmonize few graduate sur
taxes on incomes of more than $780,
900, without substantial change in
revenue returns or individual tax
alton. Normal taxes on individuals
and corporations and the lowered in
nESlduel exemptions as revised in
the Senate were approved.
Liquor and tobacco sections of the
Senate draft also were little changed
although a slight decrease in rev.
enues from whiskey and manufac-
tured tobacco probably will result.
OF the $3.50 100000 TO $500 600 900

about one-third was placed upon

MEN ACCUSED OF GRAND

Milo Dipert of River Park was ac-
quilted in the city court Tuesday
morning OF a charge of grand lar
ceny made against him last Satur-
day by Jess J. Nikart, who alleged
that Dipert stole $50 from him. Sew
eral witnesses were called 10 testify.
but none could offer any ecidecce
against Dipert that was even cir
cumstantiaL therefore, Judge Feig
ordered the prisoner discharged.
The same charge against Glenn
Jarrett and Harry Mawson whose
arrests were caused by Chief Of Pc
lice Kreiter, were ordered dismissed
by the court. Neither of the last
named had even been with Nikart
the day the money was alleged to
have been taken, the filing of
charges against both being made by
chief Kreiter because Dipert at the
time of his arrest stated to the chief
that Jarrett and Mawson were with
him for a short time later in the day.
