WARS ARE ALWAYS
WOMEN'S WARS.

Women have a ire
mendous responsibility in
this war. American wom-
en- are ready and eager to
comfort at a time when
comfort is most needed,
reaching out their hands
across the sea to No
Mans Land. So IL is
everyone's duty to help
back up the Red Cross.
Our boys have courage
and strength to meet the
Hun, but they need the
greater courage of our
women who are left be-
hind to back them up.
Many a woman feels dis
couraged, listless, blue,
over the fortunes of war
because she is run down
with the ills that afflict
her sex. She needs a
woman's tonic and a body
builder that will give
her renewed strength
a better spirit-greater
courage. Such n tonic

The greatest value seen by many Of

the counter blow was launched. is
that a precedent Of a victory on the
western has been established.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
the enemy can be fought extensively
and there are many signs that his pun
ishment is just beginning. Gen. Foch
is master of the situation. He can choose
now the time and place to fight, for the
enemy is compelled to act on the de-
fensive and to give ground to save his
forces from humiliation. There are re-
newed possibilities Of a coup of a de-
cisive character, it is believed among
many, and there is strong feeling that
operations on other fronts Of the west
ern line are impending. They believe
that a blow by the British to obliterate
the Flanders salient may come at any
moment. There have been hints that a
great concentration of British forces
has been completed, probaly in prepa-
ration for decisive battle on the west
ern front. and to observers here the
time now seems to have come for the
launching Of this assault. They believe
it certain that such a stroke will be or
dered by Gen. F'och before the fighting
in the Aisne- Marine field has been stabil-
tied.

HEAVY TAX
On Tobacco, Cigars

Agreed Upon by Ways and Means
Committee as Part Of New Reven-
ue BIi-kew Tax imposes Three
Times Existing Rates on Some
Items

Washington. Aug 2.-Heavy increases
in the present war tax on tobacco, CT
CARS and cigarettes were agreed to to-
Gay by the way and means committee
as part of the new revenue bill. The
new tax imposes three times the exist
ing rates on some items of the schedule
and is expected to raise approximately
$40, 0o0. eco, in comparison with the pres
ent $16S. 100000 revenue from tobacco.
The committee has made substantial
Roadway in it's work and some of it's
members predict that all danger Of de-
lay in reporting the bill is over and that
the total of $500. 900. the greatest vol
ume Of revenue from taxation ever con-
templated in the nations history, will be
provided for in time to report when the
House reassembles on Aug. 10. So far,
however. there is a large gap between
the total estimates from the excess
profits and income tax section and the
6,o00, 100000 allotted to these sections in
the original plan. The committee ac-
cordingly went back today to the in
come turtax paragraphs. and while
there was no definite action it was evil
dent that there will be heavy increases
in surtaX rates. Today's action as TO
war taxes on tobacco was independent
of the special license tax on manufac-
