PALMER'S OPINION

The opinion of the attorney general as announced today by Commissioner Roper follows:
 Liability for this tax does not depend upon whether the manufacture and sale are legal or illegal. The manufacture of beer containing as much as one-half of one per cent of alcohol may be un- lawful under the food control act and the Presidents proclamations But if notwithstanding this prohibition, brew CT in fact manufactures and sells such beer, he is liable for the tax imposed by section eos above He is both liable for the tax and subject to prosecution as a result of the two laws. I am therefore of the opinion not only that the tax may be lawfully collected, but that it is the duty of the proper office to collect it, where beer has been manufactured and withdrawn for sale in violation of the food control act and the regulations hereunder"

BEER TAX STAMPS
 WILL BE ISSUED
 PENDING DECISION
No Attempt to Be Made by Revenue Bureau to Pro- hibit Manufacture
 for Present
By Associated rress

Washington, May 15.-In accordance with an opinion rendered by Attorney General Palmer holding it to be the flaw. full duty of the internal revenue bureau to collect tax on malt beverages with. in alcohol content in "excess of that per mitted by law" issuance of revenue stamps to cover beer taxes will be con tinued and no attempt will be made by the revenue bureau to prohibit the man ufacture of beer pending a decision by the Federal district court of New York as to what percentage of alcohol ren- ders beer intoxicating.
 Instructions to this effect were issued today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper coincident with announcement of the attorney generals opinion. Revenue officers also were directed by the com missioner to cooperate closely with the Department of Justice in reporting all violations of the act prohibiting the man. ufacture of intoxicating beverages after May 1. Presumably, under these in- structions, it was learned, revenue agents will begin at once to report all instances Of the manufacture of malt beverages as evidence on which to base possible pros cautions following decision in the New York COUrt

 NEW ENGLAND STARTS OCT. 6
To Promote Thrift and Boost Sales of Govern
 .'.. ment Securities

October to II is Thrift Week in New England This period has been set aside as a Thrift Week to call the Thrift Campaign to the attention of all the people It is also aimed to set them thinking on the neces- sity of wise expenditure and care full saving. ".-
 The people of New England win be urged through the press, pulpit and other sources during this week, to invest their savings in Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, Treas ury Savings Certificates and other Government securities.
 Mrs. Francis L.. Higginson, direc- tor of savings, First Federal Re- serve District in announcing the date of Thrift Week, states that it is i'm perative that the people of New England have brought to their atten- tion the fallacy of extravagant spending. She asserts that if the people of New England will be more careful in the expenditure of their income and place their savings in safe securities such as offered by the Government the high cost of liv- ing in this district is sure to be lowered #'.
 Thrift Week this year is not in- tended to be a temporary spurt in money sales, like the drives of last year, but rather concentrated be- ginning of steady new effort with emphasis on the educational side.
 Stress will be laid throughout Thrift Week to the advantages of purchasing s100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates

Jacks Adventure
in Nodland
EgEh,.. s

beautiful lady, who introduced herself to little Jack as the Queen of Thrift land. Now we'll go to the palace that holds the things that are dis tributed to the people in the world, who practice thrift and invest their money in safe investments"
 Seated in a gold covered chariot on whose sides millions of little dis monds sparkled, the Queen and little Jack were whirled through Thrist!snd. Soon they came to the Palace of Thrift Here was where little Jack was to SC that things that were to be given to the thrifty people of the world.
 Together little Jack and the Queen mounted the long winding steps that led up to the door of the Palace of Thrift. The Queen, when they had reached thetop of the stairs, raised a wand she carried in her hand, presto the big iron door of the palace swung open. ..
 Holding the Queens hand tightly little Jack entered the palace. What a wonderful sight he saw. Thousands of pretty automobiles, airplanes boats, sleds, skates and other things that people in the world craved tt own
 Those are to be given to the peo pie in the world who practice Thrift, said the Queen pointing with her wand to the thousands of things that filled the palace. As Jack looked about, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the beautiful white pony that had brought him to Thriftland. Beside | the pony Jack saw something thai made his little heart jump for joy | There were some other beautiful ponies, little monkeys, beautiful white polar bears, pretty birds, some baby lions and lots of other animals just like Jack had seen at the circus in the afternoon
 Now little reader, remember Jack | just wanted to own little pony, g monkey and some of the other pretty J animals. So interested was be in the circus pets that he almost forgot the l Queen. Then it was that he heard a voice. ''If you save your pennies ard arc thrifty in spending your money some day you will receive some of these gifts Thriftland gives to those on earth woh save" Etwas the Queen speaking, but before Jack could reply snap, all was darkness. Jack felt that he was falling. He put out his hands to grab hold of something. AS he did his hands grabbed the folds of 8 downy pillow. A bright light caused him to open his eyes. The rays oi the morning sun flashed across his bed. It was then Jack knew he ha6 been dreaming. He must get up and get ready to go to school.

NATURE PROVIDES
 THE INGREDIENTS
Argo- Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy, Now Endorsed by
 Local People

If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essen tial to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bod fly nutrition is normal, the stomach digests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs to properly per form their functions.
 Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and it's vitaliz- ing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are, noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the state ments made daily by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby. sa-.

 The forests are fast disappearing. Why can we not be more careful not to destroy or waste paper, but turn it back to the mills, saving our trees.
 It can not be generally understood that 100 pounds of waste paper will make 85 pounds of new paper or we could not be so careless

CORROBoRATIoN
Of Interest to Canaan Readers.

For months Canaan citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Ca naan residents. Would these promi- nent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experi- ence had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The follow ing statement should carry convic- tion to the mind of every Canaan reader. @s
 James o. Snyder, Bragg St., Ca- naan, says: My kidneys had been out of order for some time and I often had difficulty in passing the secretions. My back pained a great dael, too. When I stopped over, I could hardly straighten up. After using box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Farnum 6 Co.'s Drug Store, had no more kidney trouble" " Statement given September H., 1908). r,.. .

It was bedtime. Little Jack was awfully tired. Mama had just tucked him snugly into his little bed. He didn't feel sleepy. He'd been to the circus during the afternoon and thoughts of the wonderful things he had seen were whirling through his little mind.
 There were the little Shetland ponies. If only he could own one, he would be the happiest boy in the world. And then there were those funny clowns. Jack laughed as he thought of how one big fat clown had ridden around the ring hanging to the tail of a kicking mule.
 Jack has Visitor.
 Restlessly he plunged his little head into the downy pillow. He was thinking again of those pretty little Shetland ponies when, he felt some thing touch his arm. Quickly he jumped up in bed and looked about It was awful dark. He jumped out of bed Pressing a button on the wall he caused a flood of light te make the room bright as day.
 He looked back toward where his head had previously been buried 1T the downy pillow. There beside the head of his little bed stood snow white Shetland pony. Just the kint pony Jack adored. His little hear was pounding, Jack was excited. He rushed to the pony's side. .
 It was at this time that little Jacl noticed a rolled piece of paper 1T the pony's mouth. Tied around ths roll was a pretty blue and gold rib bon. Jack took the paper and un' rolled it. Inside written in gold inl was this message.
 i've sent my pony friend Fleetfoo to bring you to Thriftland Climt | onto his back, whisper the wort thrift in his ear and he'll carry vol to Thriftland." Signed, Queen O Thriftland.
 Little Jack loved adventure so ht i climbed up onto the back of F4eetfoot Thrift" whispered little Jack into the pony's ear.

 There can be no greater step to- wards the reduction of the high cost of living than to see that every pound Of waste material in your household is salvaged, that it is sold to the juk collector, who in turn sells 1t to the mills or factories where it is re-
