cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
miniStration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try. such as the ridiculous salt ana
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller est
mates that when the people listen TO

"Stories without even vestiSe OF

."Nor have they come 10 life casually.
They have started simultaneously IN
different parts of the country and IN

"They are insldious, subtle, persist

Trouble With Wounded Soldiers.

"Delmas remarks" says Annnles dc
Medicine that as soon as the soldier
enters the hospital he steps out Of mill
itnry discipline, and yet~the hospital
authorities have no jurisdiction over
him. He can accept or refuse opera
tions, injections Of drugs, etc. ut his
own will. But almost invariably the
wounded or sick soldier absolutely
trusts his surgeon or physician rs long
as no foreign element modiflcs his
grateful confidence"
He further goes on 10 say that two
elements may interfere, one the fear
Of pain or anesthctics and the other
unwilllngness to be cured and return
to military duty, and calls the latter
cases desertionS In either case pres
sure is brought to bear in the way Of
pension considerations or the return.

HEAVY TAXES
FOR AUTO OWNERS

Graduated Excise Tax From $40 TO $50
Per Year Besides One on Gasoline.
manufacturers Tax Also Charged
to Them.
washington. July 31.-A Federal
graduated excess tax on the use of
automobiles running from $40 a year
on cars originally retailed at not ex-
ceeding $500 to $50 tax on $4,000 cars
and $40 additional for each $500 above
S3,o00 was agreed today by the House
Ways and Means Committee, which
Is framing the new $4,000, 900 900 reve-
nue. bill. The tax applies directly to
the owners, while the tax Of ten per
cent on gross sales Of automobiles
ana 1ve per cent on gross sales of au-
10 trucks, agreed to yesterday, applies
to the Manufacturers, producers and
importers Of cars. The tax on use Of
cars Is based on the original retail
listed price of the cars regardless of
the year Of manufacture.
The committee also agreed to a tax
or Two cents per gallon on the pro-
ductlon Of gasoline and Federal ex-
clse tax Of S. year on the use of
motorcycles. Members Of the commit
tee stated that while the manufac-
turerS tax and the owners tax are
differentiated, it is generally believed
that the owners ultimately will have
to pay all the tax, the manufacturers
passing on the tax in increased price.
The automovile and motorcycle excise
tax Is expected to yield approximately
S12o.OOO,000 and the gasoline tax
si5.OOO,OOo.
War profiteerins was the subject
OF prolonged discussion today with
technical calculations as to what vari-
Gus schemes would yield in the way of

tions making however, profits that
might not be taxed sufficiently under

WILL GET THEIR NICKNAMEs
American Soldiers object to Torn
"Sammles," and Are Willing to
Wait for Better One.

Somebody, feeling that the American
soldier In France needed nickname
dubbed him "Sanmle." Then someone
else referred to him by that name and
still another adopted 1t and the use Of
1t became general. The nickname prob
ably was selected because the United
States is referred to as Uncle Sam. II
Is probable that 1t Is referred to as
Uncle Sam because the abbreviation Of
the name Of the country was u S., and
somebody built the name Uncle Sam
out Of the initlnls as representing the
incarnation Of the country in one man.
NO matter what the origin Of the name
Is the soldiers do not like 1t. The
Stars and Stripes, the official publica.
ton Of the expeditionary forces, says
the American soldier did not invent 1t,
does not like 1t, and never uses It and
Will not recognize 1t. 1t says when
he sees 1T In papers from home 1t
makes him sick.
Seemingsto-thinkth that name for the
American Soldier should he found, the
Stars and Stripes says:
"When, in the fullness of time, the
American army has been welded by
shock and suffering into single
lighting force, with one mind, one heart
and one spirit. the American SOL
dler will find his name. 1t will
bo the inspiration Of some ambulance
driver, perhaps, or the outburst Of
some eloquent cook. It will strike the
fancy Of a passing guard and be for
warded through military channels like
q sentry's call. Wounded bOys,h9vill
carry 1t back to base hospitals and
ammunition train drivers will spread
1t to the base ports. Some reporter
will hear 1t at some distant bar and
put 1t into the story he has to write
that night 1t will be printed in Amer
lea. Photographers and cartoonists
and vaudeville comedians will use 1t.
1t win be caught up nt home and In
the training camps. The name will
be fastened on. The American sol.
| dier will have been christened. He
| does not know now what that name
| Will be. He simply knows 1t wen't
| be 'Sammie.'
But what Is the need Of nickname

lean good enough? There would be
no thought Of n nickname but for the
fact that the British soldier Is re.
ferred to rs Tommy Atkins, and then
losing his surname Is referred to MS
Tommy. But we do not know that
the French soldier has nickname

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ONTOES
Tells why Il corn is so painful and
SAYS cutting makes them grow.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shores
press against your corn it pushes it's
sharp roots down upon sensitive
nerve and yoI get shock Of pain.
Instead OF trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter Of an ounce Of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet. A few drops ap-
piled directly upon tender aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shrivels up SO it lifts
right out, root and all, without pain.
This drug freezone is harmless and
never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin.

To the Editor of The State:
notice in your columns of June letter

Now, | indorsc what Mr. Bowman says in
every particular. Unless we get together
down South and control our cotton, in my
Judgment will be utterly ruined on ac-
count Of the exchange in New York running
our cotton down to ruinous prices. There
is not doubt in my mind that the cotton eX-
chance people have made up their minds fully
to put cotton below 20 cents per pound, which
YOU will readily understand would be less
than it costs to produce it today. Five bales
OF cotton to the mule and to the family IS
about the average yield which at 20 cents
per pound would mean $500 worth of cotton
and 500 worth of seed, making total Of
5000 This price will be starvation for the
people who grow cotton and | think the thing
that should be done is to organize the farm
ers, merchants, bankers and manufacturers;
and am satisfied in my mind that the cotton
manufacturers do not want to see low price
for cotton
want your valued paper, which is always
ready to champion the Just cause Of the peo-
pie, to take this matter up and insist upon
the Farmers Union and the people generally,
calling meeting in every county in the cot
ton growing States and elect delegates to the

set in soon after the opening and the market
went into the most decided reaction of the

it's chief market effect TO keep the tone
steady Short selling was stimulated not
only by the more favorable weather condi-
