The New Revenue Bill Is SHAPED
to Meet You Every
Hour

a street fair wont escape tax Of $40.
Billiard and pool halls deliver $40 for
every alley or table. Shooting galleries
pay $50, and if you're idle enough these
days to patronize riding academy you'll
help the proprietor pay his 500 tax.
Sightseeing cars pay 10 per cent Of their
receipts.
The bill gives strange recognition to
the fact that prohibition doesn't prohibit.
For instance, if you are in the business
Of selling liquor in any state or town or
territory where the local law forbids you
to sell it, you have to pay an additional
$1,000 tax to the government.
Proprietors of any business that has
gross receipts of $4,000 year or more
pay $40 tax After 100000 it amounts
to s25.
Aside from the original tax on the sale
Of all motor cars and accessories there's
also tax on the use Of them, ranging
from S. for motorcycles to $50 for any
thing over 40-horsepower.
If Congress leaves enough Of the pro-
posed bill to make showing, a primer
Of it would read something like this:
The government hopes to raise eight
billion dollars by taxes, to pay at least one
third Of the estimated war cost for one
year OF twenty-four billion dollars. The
eight billions will be composed of the fol-
lowing estimated amounts from the follow
ing named sources:
War and excess profits SO 200 600, 900.

cause there is q tax on all kinds of
cosmetics. You pay at the movies,
not only an admission tax but enough
probably TO help the ''movie" man pay
his own film tax. If your grocer has
just bought a new cash register your
beans and carrots will help carry the
burden Of it tax Sitting still you pay,
because the chances are somewhere in
the clothes you wear is something that
takes tax. Your chair carries freight
tax. And if you travel you contribute
heavily. There's a tax on gasolene and
tax on motors and accessories. And
railroad travel collects in a half dozen
complex ways.
The real meaning Of the revenue bill
that Congress is trying to shape into the
form of law is that it puts every one into
the work of winning the war. There's
no escape. If your income is thousand
dollars year, regardless of your age, a
part Of that thousand goes into the fund
that buys shells and airplanes and shoes
and ships.

TOMATOES IN GLASS

Select firm, uniformly red, ripe to-
matoes of medium size. Put into
trays and lower into boiling water for
one minute, then plunge into cold wa
ter for q few seconds until skins slip
easily. Remove and cut out the core

cutting into the seed cells. Peel
promptly and pack into previously
boiled quart Jars. Add one teaspoon
full sugar and half a teaspoonful salt

thick tomato sauce. (This procedure
Is economical, because each quart jar
will give whole tomatoes for salads
or baking and a tomato PURGE for
soups or sauces.) This PURGE, or sauce,

For dewberries, blackberries, logan
currants practically the same methods
Of canning may be used. The condi-
ton Of the fruit will have much to do
with the quality of the product. Ber-
ries should be gathered in shallow
trays or baskets and not in deep ves-
sells which allow them to be bruised
and crushed. They should be uniform

and then trying to press them down.
