AN UNJUST LAW

Congress is not hii enthusiastic
about revising the war tax legislation
enacted in the last session We
needn't wonder about that. remember
ing what a troublesome job il was
But some OF thai Legislation will have
to be revised just the same particu-
larly the income tax law Nobody
knows what il means, and some parts
OF 1t are grossly unfair.
The provision most criticised is
that which imposes 4 special tax OF
s per cent on salaries OF professional
men in addition u the normal income
tax. It works with cruel injustice in
the case Of lawyers. doctors. dentists,
college professors. store managers
and others whose income Is derived
not from invested capital, but from
special Skill This il discriminatory
tax on special ability developed at
considerable effort and expense. ana
a tax on earnings which cease the
moment the possessOr Of thar ability
ceases to apply it.
II there is to be any sort of dis.
elimination, it had better be against
incomes which represent mearned
capital rather than useful service.
Congress may as we'll reconcile il
self to the fact that It will have no
resi- until il undoes this wrong.

A. T. Sharman a few days ago from
Lieut.. c e. Lauterbach at Camp Fun

people at Camp Funston at present
Quite large city has sprung up here
within the last few months as If by
magic. All of the inhabitants are
men, even 10 the cooks in the kitchen
The sewerage and lighting systems
of the camp are excellent. but the
means of heating it are not yet com
pleted- In consequence of the un-
finished state OF affairs the cold gets
pretty close to US occasionally. Work
on the heating plants is being rushed
md we will soon be enjoying the com
fort OF steam heat and hot water.
Stoves are being temporarily installed
n some Of the buildings.
The camp has presented a decid-
sdiy lively appearance since the last
quota of men came in. Because OF n
shortage Of military clothing some of
our soldiers are drilling in overails.
and. worst of all. they are carrying
wooden guns. They look more like an
army of rnorganized men than of
American troops. But all of this will
change in time and tie transformation

1t became necessary at this time to
again request the school boards to ex-
tend the time FOR the High school stu
dents and this request was granted
and two days further tmie allowed in
the next week which proved a great
help. BY Tuesday night the secretary
estimated some $4,000 to 10000 boxes
still on the trees and several of the
farmers had not been able to secure
sufficient help.
Every effort possible has been made
by the Chamber of Commerce to see
every apple saved and while there are
s;ili something like 10000 boxes out.
it seems that With the help OF the

which is far in excess OF what was to
be expected. Many of the growers re-

have had in years. The people of this

that we have a central body to assist
in all such emergencies and they
should also appreciate the action tax

Diet, Exercise or Death !

An eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our city folks die Of thick
ening Of the arteries or Of kidney dis
case. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, higa
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidney. Usually it's danger signals
are backacte. pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles. rheumatic twinges or
gpots appearing before the eyes.
The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once q day, or not at all. Plenty
OF outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take a
little Anliric, the great uric acid neii-
tralizer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When You have dizziness,
cbills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
TO uric acid, which DIR. Pierce ai Buffalo,
N Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolyes
uric acid as hot water does sugar"
