HOW TO DODGE HIGH TAXES

(By TX. c. b." author of the famous
personality column in the New York

Dear People: Of course you know
that the war is going to be carried
through to successful conclusion
whether you buy Liberty Bond or
whether you don't. And the bills for
the payment of everything necessary
for carrying on the war are going TO
be paid. If you buy Liberty Bonds
the bills will be paid from the money
given by you to the Government in ex-
change for the bonds. If you don't
buy Liberty Bonds the Government
will find it necessary to raise the
money through taxation. In the hrst
instance, if you buy Liberty Bonds
you will get the money back with In

POOR, WEAK BLOOD THE CAUSE OF MOST
REFLECTIONS IN BOTH ARMY AND navy
Many Might Qualify in Two Three Weeks They Would
Properly Build Up Their Systems By the
Use of An Assmiable Iron.

In the medical tests for admission
to the army and navy the condition Of
the blood is considered of prime i'm
portance. All accepted candidates for
commissions must show satisfactory
blood pressure" and there must be
thorough evidence of both red and
white corpuscles, or the candidate is
promptly rejected
Anaemics and weaklings are not
wanted by Uncle Sam, as experience
has amply demonstrated that men
without sufficient rich red blood in
their systems fail to develop the prop
err degree of mental and physical pow
err to prove valiant leaders.
Rundown, thin emaciated crea-
lures are no longer wanted-either in
the army or civil life Men of strong
vitality and fully equipped physical
power and stmaina are now required,
whether in the battle of business life
or the more hazardous work of lead
ing men "over the top" in the Elan
derian trenches.
The human system requires a Ger
tain degree of iron to properly re-
plenish the blood and tissues of the
body, and the food of modern civili2a-
ton is such that eighty per cent. of
the populace lack the proper amount
of this necessary organic sulphate.
Thus we behold a race of prema-
turely old, bald-headed, false-toothed
victims, with begoggled, lack-lustre
eyes and faltering step, instead of a
sturdy,2 strong-limbed people-as in
the n-absorbing ages of Caesar and
Cedric and Saxon.
The medical authorities nave long
been aware Of this fact, but lacked
the cehmical knowledge of how to.
properly administer this prerequisite
of nature. Armed with a non-solu-
BILE, unassimilable tincture of inor-
ganic iron in the form of "blaud" pills
or a Notwithstanding liquid astrin-
gent they sought to incorporate into
the human body a form Of iron Just
about as digestible as key of nails.

The total result of their endeavors
therefore was invariably a toothless,
decrepit victim with a badly-ruined
stomach.
Nature, however, came to the rescue
and put to shame the greatest chem
lists in the country.
In natural mineral product were
found all the ingredients necessary t.
revitalize the blood of mankind, in
an easily digestable fully assimible
form.
At last a puru lorganic iron had
been found!
With thousands of testimonials
from all parts of the country, anG
over thirty years of infallible sue
cess as basis for their claims, the
Ferrodine Chemical Corporation un.
qualifedly guarantee its product t.

substitute for A. |. M. as there is moth
ing else ev neremotely similar to this
remedy on the market.
Messrs. Froehling and Robertson,
the famous chemists of Richmond,
Va, officially state:
"The combination of the mineral
constituents of A. |. M. shows a most
valuable preparation. 1t contains in
addition to the large amount of Iron
Sulphate, a very desirable quantity of
Aluminium Sulphate and smaller
amounts Of Magnesium and Sodium
Sulphate. In our opinion the posi-
bilities for this preparation are I'M
limited, and while we do not believe
in universal panacea We would ex-
pect a marked success by the use of
this medicine. We would suggest its
use in all cases of Anaemia and gen.
eral debility; and in many if not all
stomach troubles"

WORK ALONG WRONG LINES
Writer Points Out Imperative Need
for Change in Present Legal and
Charity Systems.

A change in our legal system must
be made which will take account Of
the complex life of the present, as
against the old-fashioned form of liv-
ing, which brought with it temptation,
greed and jealousy. Persons who, on
account Of wrong environment, have
stopped to illegitimate means to attain
their ends should be corrected, with
discipline if you please, but not with
brutal punishment. After correction
they should have the chance to make
an honest living; they should not be
oStraciZed as at present, so that there
Is nothing else left for them to do but
to return to a life of crime which
sooner or later reaches the depths,
when the state is forced to spend
thousands and thousands for their up
keep.
The creation Of beggars has never
been due to the exercise Of kindness.
All beggars are made, more or less, by
the charity system. With charity
abolished and every individual under
standing that we are all born to work
aud enjoy our work in accordance
with our fitness for the work we are
called upon to do, there will be no
need of charity, and crime and dis
ease will be lessened tremendously

"ShinpIasters."

One of the curious forms of money
to which the United States govern
ment has resOrted was the "shin-
plaster currency" These bits Of paper
money were called "shinplasters'' by
reason Of their size and not because
of the use to which they were put
It was a strange condition of affairs
which led to their issue. The Civil
war had put great strain on the
finances of the United States. Metallic
money grew scarce. In the first place
it was exported and in the second
place it was boarded in vast sums.
The government had issued "green-
backs to take the place of silver dol
lars and five and ten dollar gold pieces,
and as dimes, quarters and halves had
also grown scarce it was decided to
issue fractional paper currency. 1t
was seriously needed, because there
was great inconvenience throughout
the country from a lack of small
change. Merchants used postage
stamps, tokens of various forms, their
own promises to pay" or script, and
even buttons were employed as small
change, to be later redeemed by the
merchant in goods. It was to meet
such conditions as these that the gov
eminent issued small paper notes in
denominations of 10, 25 and SO cents.

FACTORS IN STORAGE OF ICE
Houses Should Be Well Insulated and
Drained-Cost of Construction
Is Important.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Insulation and drainage are two OF
the most important factors in the pres
ervation of ice. It is true that the
temperature of the earth varies less
than that of the air, but the fact that
the temperature of the earth at six
or eight feet below the surface remains
at about IS degrees Fahrenheit the
year around makes it quite as impor
tant to protect the stored ice against
the earth heat as against the heated
air. 1t is more difficult to remove ice
as needed during the season from pits
than from structures above the ground.
Slight advantages are apparent at har-
vest time in favor of the cellar or the
half-sunken type of house, and under
some circumstances they will be pre-
ferred to the other type.
The length Of time ice may be kept
depends upon the character of insula-
ton provided. This will naturally vary
with the location of the icehouse and
the method Of construction. Another
important factor will be the cost of
construction.
The simplest type of ice preserva-
ton consists in stacking the cakes in
a compact mass on a well-drained site,
as well protected as possible from sun
and wind, and covering the mass with
sawdust, shavings, fodder, marsh hay
or any other good insulating material.
Such a crude method is not to be rec.
commended except as a temporary
makeshift for ice which Is to be used
early in the season.

What "PotIuck" Is,

"POtluck" is defined in such a prac.
teal way in Limoges, France, that the
partaker ever after remembers that il
means take what you get and say
nothing" In a certain corner of that
quaint city of jostling roofs there is
still segregated, much as if in a ghet-
to, Saracen population, probably q
remnant of the wave Of Saracens that
swept over Europe hundreds of years
ago. Here they live in crooked, mar
row streets, following old customs
handed down from generation to gener-
alton. There are many butchers shops
in the quarter and outside of each
glowing brazier. In each pot stands a
ladle as ancient as the pot. When a
customer comes with a penny in goes
the ladle and it comes up full Of savory
broth and chunks of meat, odds and
ends that the butcher has had left
over And what comes up the customer
has to take.
Tigers Amazing Feat.
'"The strength and vitality of a full
grown tiger are amazing" asserts a
wild-game hunter, in Chicago Ameri-
can. 81 had occasion to spend
the night short time ago in place
where a tiger had performed some re-
markable feats. Just at dusk one of
these marauders visited the village
and discovered a COW and her six
mOnths-Old calf in a pen which had
been excavated in the side of a hill
and adjOined house. There was no
possible way to enter the Enclosure ex-
cept by a door opening from the main
part of the dwelling or to descend
from above. The tiger jumped from
the roof upon the neck Of the heifer,
killing it instantly, and the inmates of
the house opened the door just in time
to see the animal throw the calf out
bodily and leap after 1t himself. !
