Tales Of the Friendly Forest
And lend a helping paw"
By DAVID CORY

And lend a helping paw"
sang Grandpa Postum, and then he
winked at Billy Bunny, and Squirrel
Nutcracker ran down the tree and
said:
Excuse me, Grandma Postum,
For throwing snow at you.
'Twould be too bad to make you mad
Or just little blue"
And then that mischievous SPUR
rel ran away and didn't bother
Grandpa Postum for a long, long
time.
well, guess I'll be getting
along" said the little rabbit, and he
hoped away, and by and by he came
to the Friendly Forest Pond, where
Danny Beaver had his home. But
of couEse he wasn't anywhere to be
seen. No, Stree. He was in his little
mud hut, whose roof stuck up about
the ice and whose cellar was way
down deep where the water was free
from ice, so that he could swim in
and out as he pleased.
So Billy Bunny didn't wait. He
hoped along until he came to the
edge Of the forest, and then he
hoped across the Pleasant Meadow
over to the Old Farm Yard where
Henry Jenny and Cocky Docky lived
all the year round. But what he did
there you must wait to hear in the
next story, for the supper bell has
just rung and must not be late for
Aunt Terminals angel cake.

SENATE FINANCE
COMMITTEE READY
TO MAKE REPORT.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 28.-Revision OF
the war revenue bill was substantial
ly completed last night by the senate
finance committee. Amendments
perfecting the program Of raising six
billion dollars in 1919 were adopted
md by Il strict party vote the commit
tee formally approved Chairman
simmons plan to raise four billion
In 1920, through reduction or lndlVl-
dual and corporation income rates.
elimination of the war profits tax and
reduction Of the excess profits rates.
Republicans Oppose.
With the seven Republicans Of the
committee, voting soidly in opposi-
ton, the ten Democrats adopted
Chairman Simmons plan for 1920 to
reduce the normal income tax rate for
individuals and corporations, from II
to s per cent: to abolish the 80 per
cont war profits rate after 1919 and TO
reduce the excess profits rates in 1920
TO a minimum OF 20 per cent and a
Of the 1919 rate.
1a Collect Under Old Law.
Although the committee practically
has completed the bill, it became
known that the internal revenue bur-
eau has almost despaired of the en-
aEtment of the measure before Jan. l.
and has made plans for collection of
taxes under the old law, by which 1T
is estimated only four billion would
be produced next year. The old law
which remains effective until repeal
ed by the new revenue bill, specifically
enjoins the commissioner of internal
revenue to prepare forms for use or
taxpayers to report their incomes,
profits and other taxable matters be-
tween January l. and March /.
"a Confusion Expected.
Daniel G. Roper, revenue commits
sioneF, explained that he would be
forced to administer excise, business,
transportation and other taxes col
letable monthly under the old law
after january /, If the new measure
is not finally enacted by then. The
collection of additional sums, result
ing from increased rates under the
new act, or repayment Of taxes COL
lected under schedules repealed by
the new act, would preCipitate much
confusion. 1t was explained.
Minority Report.
Both the programs for 1919 and 1870
taxation, except for minor amend
nlents to be made when the commit
tee reconvenes next Friday, virtually
were completed. After Fridays meet
ing a reprint of the bill will be made
and Chairman Simmons plans to re-
port it to the senate some time next
week. The Republicans announced
their intention to oppose inclusion of
1920 rates in the bill. and may file a
minority report.
Chairman Simmons plan for 1920
revenue was adopted without change.
It's nrovision for reduction from u to
s, ner cent in the normal rates on in
dfvidual incomes also provides that
the rate shall be six per cent in 1919
and "a per cent in 1920 on the first
$4,000 of taxable income.

Your Health And Its Care
BY r. H.. BISHOP,
FACE POWDER.
BY DR.. r. n. BISHOP, JR.


It is said that a woman will make
any sacrifice for the man she loves.
It must be true for there are
many young girls who are running
their eye sight in the hope Of appear
ing well in the reyes of their sweet
hearts.
Undoubtedly they would be sur
prised to learn that there is any
connection between sore, smarting
eyes and the daily application of
face powder. .F..s I
Such is the case, however. for
some preparations for face powder
are the cause of Inflammation Of the
eyes. These are the inferior grades
of so-called rice powder. In ad-
dition to rice powder, these prepara-
tons contain other ingredients which
irritate the delicate membrane OF
the eye.
When such powder is frequently
and copiously used on the face, es-
pecially if a powder puff is used,
some of the powder is driven upward
and lodges on the moist eyeball. The
tears change it into a mucilaginous
substance, which lodges behind the
eyelids and produces a severe in
Examination.
Women thus afflicted complain
that the vision is blurred; that they
cannot read or sew for any length
OF time; that the lids itch and burn,
sometimes intolerably, and that rub
ing the eyelids only aggravates the
itching.
Powders of this sort are common,
for of sixteen samples of so-called
rice powder analysed only two con-
sisted entirely of rice, and only six
contained any RICE at all. '-
Women who are accustomed to
using face powder should be careful
70 select only those preparations
which are known to be pure and free
from harmful substitutes.
Age Necessitates Examination.
A. B.: Use no alcoholic drinks. Cut
your tobacco to a fraction of your
present amount. Amy one over forty
or fifty years Of age should have, at
Intervals, a general physical exami-
nation, particularly with reference to
the condition OF the kidneys and cir
culatory system.
Dry Skin.
M NJ. l.: If the skin is merely dry
a simple ointment such as cold
cream will be beneficial. The condi-
ton, however, may be an eczema.

BlackheadS are due to disorder of
the sebacious glands of the skin and
are common between fourteen and
thirty when these glands are most
active. Disorder or digestion, con-
stipation, anemia and the like, work
in dusty atmosphere and too FREE
quent use of soap are contributing
causes. With proper management
the tendency to over activity of the
sebaceous glands may be lessened or
removed. Persistence is necessary.
The correction of the constipation

You look upon an Armour plant elsewhere
as local organization there. And the
farmers there regard this Branch House
(like all Armours other Branch Houses)
as local business here to sell their foods
for them. Both are right all of the Armour
concerns are local institutions yet so re-
lated that they ali must operate together
to serve you most efficiently.
We could sell to retailers through agents,
of course. But then we couldn't deliver
under our own supervision and with the
scientific care we do now. So we have our
own Branch House, and are able to distrib-
ute the best foods in the best way, locally.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-11-28

As a local concern our interests are intensely
local. We pay local taxes, employ local
men and patronize local institutions. The
continued development of this community
is vital to Us. For we prosper only as this
community prospers.
It is TO my interest as an individual and to-
the interest Of my firm to see that our
service reaches the top IN efficiency. For
thus we serve best both producers and CON
surners, and help properly to distribute the
nations food supply under war conditions
as in times of peace. This is why Armour
and Company maintain local Branch
House and is virtually local concern.
