Don't Invite Attack by Sluggish
Circulation

Keeping your blood supply up to
the standard of perfect purity is like
building an impregnable fortress
around the system, to protect it from
the insidious enemy of disease. Thus
you are assured of strong and Wig
orous vitality that means perfect
health.
When impurities creep into the
blood supply, there is a loss of en-
ergy, a failing of the appetite, YOU
are easily tired and find the body
weakening under ordinary tasks. all
of which means that you are losing

TERROR AS A POLICY.

Germany had no doubt whatever of the
utility of frightfulnes in the early days of the
war She really believed, apparently, that hef
enemies might be terrorized by fendish prac-
tees into giving up the fight She thought
that by killing their women, children and men
in hospitals, numbering non-combatants anu
starving and torturing prisoners she could
frighten free nations into making peace on her
own impudent terms. Not only was this the
calculated policy of militarism, but it was the
natural wav in which brutal barbarians gener-
ally have always fought.
There is not the least reason for thinking
that Germany has begun to realize the infamy
of her acts or has any scruples whatever against
warfare of this sort; but there are some lndlca-
tons that she is now beginning to count the
cost. The allies are fast attaining the mastery
of the air The time is in sight when they Will
dominate it completely; and they have already
dropped tons of high explosives on German
towns, where the inhabitants, whose JOY was
delerious when London and Paris were bonn
barded from the skies, are shaking with terror
as they hunt their own cellars when they hear
the throb of airships in the clouds. They are
now clamoring that their government shall
propose a cessation, by agreement with its en-
emies, of such raids.
It is doubtful, however, if their rulers will
| venture to suggest truce IN frlghtfuness. Ii
would be confession that their theory of war
was wrong and an admission thatthey had been
beaten at their own game. 1t is more than doubt
full also if the imperial government would adj
here to any convention it might make 1t has
never yet kept its word, and the allies would
show themselves childishly fresh and green In
this old world' if they put any faith IN the
promise of the Huns It probably is too late
for Germany to escape the consequences of her
course She has sowed her crop of tares and 1t
is so well matured that she will have to reap
what she has sowed.

iod of the war without loss of revenue or hard
ship to the general public But this would put
a class of earners out of work and thus de-
crease their purchasing and taxpaylng power;
and the wisdom of driving any class OF pro-
ducers out of business is open to doubt, as Is
also the equity of such a course.
The arguments seem therefore to favor
reasonable rather than a prohibihve tax on
articles which are considered Injuries. 1t IS
clear, however, that the manufacture OF platl-
nun ornaments should be ended either by tax
or interdict as every ounce OF that scarce
metal is urgently needed for use in the war. In
fact, patriotic people should offer their piatl-
mum jewelry to the government at the market
price.
AS for the taxation of indispensables like
clothing for example, it would seem that 1t
might well be a graduated tax A garment OF
some kind is a necessity of life, and the cheap
er suits and fabrics should be lightly taxed.
But if we assume that the government should
not look for large revenue from mems suits
costing, let us say, less than thirty dollars, 1t
is clear that the suit which costs two or three
times as much is a luxury and as such may be
properly taxed as much as the traffic will bea1
without putting the finer fabric industry out
of business. In other words, the price OF ar
ticles should be of weight in determining
whether they are cassifable as luxuries or are
in the indispensable class.

An evil gain equals a loss.-Syrus.
TAXING LuxuR1Es AND NECESSITIES

There is a general agreement that articles
which can properly be classified as Injuries and
non-essemtials should be taxed more heavily
than the commodities necessary to the susten-
ance and comfort of life. The so-called neces-
sites of existence should not be put by taxation
beyond the peoples reach. Cereals, clothing,
sugar and fats are of this class, though strictly
speaking there is no single kind of textile, grain
or fat for which a substitute cannot be found
and no one Of them is an actual necessity of life
if others are at hand.
But there is no dissent from the general prin-
ciple that the dispensables of life, the things
that minister to vanity rather than to comfort
the things that people can give up without i'm
pairing their efficiency and health, should be
taxed to the point that will produce the highest
revenue. But who can say where this point is
for any given article7 A tax that doubles the
cost of jewelry for example, would close the
factories that make it, putting it practically
out of the market, and the government woulG
get no revenue therefrom. On the other hand
it can be argued that the money which could
not be spent for jewelry would be used to pur
chase other taxed articles that are obtainable
or be loaned to the nation; and that the trad
in ornaments might be suspended for the per

AN ENDED MENACE.

Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British adj
miralty. and Vice Admiral Sims, of our navy,
now in European waters, unite in the cheering
announcement that the submarine menace is
now at an end as the boats are being destroyed
faster than the Germans can build them. 1t
has been a contest that has taxed the energies
of the allied powers. But Great Britain hung
ON without whimpering with no other thought
than to fight it through alone if need be; and
when at last we came to her aid it has taken
only year to get the pirates under control
Germany, beaten ON the water, outfought In
the air there remain for her only the present
mighty battle on the western front and for
lorn-hope sally of her fleet When the end
comes for Germany civilization will draw long
breath of relief; for it will have survived the
most desperate attack ever made upon it since
time began.
