Observes These Points
And Escape influenza

DON'T congregate in crowded pla
ces, especially if there is lack of ven,
tilation. See that the ventilators il
street cars are open.
DON'T use common towels OF
drinking cups.
DON'T fail to wear clothing ac-
cording to the temperature of the
day.
DON'T sleep with the window
closed.
DON'T allow yourself TO become
fatigued. Regular habits, good food
and exercise are excellent preventa-
tives.
DON'T cough or sneeze withoui
using the handkerchief.
DON'T work among others when
you have a severe cold. Employers
should send home those who have
symptoms of influenza
DON'T treat cold yourself. Cal
in the family physician.
All awnings should be taken down
at once to let the sunshine into
homes and offices. Sunshine drives
out germs.
These precautionary measures
against the disease have been pre-

collector The private person, who
has scattered investments and keeps
his affairs to himself, is the hardest
to trail to his strong box. But even
in his case the system is being made
nearly alright.
When it was announced that only
$4,000 people in the whole country
who described themselves as farmers
paid income taxes this year, there
was a great wagging of ears. The fig
ure gave as much shock to the Inter
nal Revenue authorities as to any
body else, and they started on the
scent without delay. Of late the ag-
ents of the bureau have been check
ing up the incomes of farmers in a
variety of ways. They have gone
over the books of creamerieS, COM
mission men, elevators, banks and
the like, hunting for evidence of far
mer receipts, and they have discov-
cred enough already to make it APP
parent that big lode of richness will
be opened in time for the returns of
next year.
At the best it is very hard to make
the well-to-do farmer pay anything
like the income tax that the city man
does. Much of the farmers income
is never transmitted into terms of ac-
tual cash; it doesn't go down on his
daybook or ledger because, mostly, he
has no such records. He doesn't ey-
en- thing of these things as income, or
of reporting them when he makes
out a schedule. The city mans in
come gets to him in cash, leaves him
in cash; the farmers largely comes
in other forms, is consumed without
being translated into terms of mo-
ney and is not counted. 1t has been
ruled that the living advantage which
the farmer enjoys is this consump-
ton of his own products in fairly off
set by the contribution which his
family make to the industrial opera
ton of his plant; but the rule is at
least a decidedly generous one in
thousands of cases. No country has
devised satisfactory method of col
lecting income taxes from farmers in
a fair proportion as compared to col
iections from other people.
War prices have added immensely
to the incomes, gross and net, of an
army of farmers. Investors in farm
mortgages testify to the constantly in
creasing difficulty of getting this
kind of paper; the farmers have been
for three years paying off their debts
at a greater rate than ever before.
This very process has been one of the
reasons for many farmers failing to
pay income taxes; they have cheer
fully assumed that income wasn't in
come if it went to discharging debts.
It is too early to get a good esti-
mate of the number of farmers who
ought to be paying income taxes, but
1t will prove several times the num-
Der now reported. And of the delin-
Quents, large proportion will be
found to owe arrears, not for a single
year. but for two or three The far

seem that the Chamber of Commerce
works slowly and with considerable
elaboration in its tasks, yet it is well
to remember that the mills of the
gods grind slowly, but they grind ex-
ceeding fine And so do the COM
mittees of the Chamber of Commerce
grind their annual grist fine, yea even
to the point of FIGURING. The COM
mittees have met with failures and
disappointments the same as has every
individual who is worth his salt, tho
on the whole the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce committees
along any particular line have been
