bottled drinks when sold. It is, of course, expected that the bottlers tax should be passed on to the con-
 sumer, but there is no direct pay
 ment by the consumer on bottled drinks.
 'The soft drink tax that is paid
 by the consumer is on all beverages which are compounded or mixed and on ice cream, when sold at the soda fountain, ice cream parlor or similar places of business for con- sumption in or in proximity to such place of business-but does not in- cludes coffee, tea, buttermilk, milk, hot chocolate, clam broth and the like, nor does it include medicinal preparations sold at fountains. h. cluded in taxable beverages are phosphates, root beer, coca cola, when mixed or compounded at the fountain, milk shakes, ice cream, ice cream sundaes, etc.
 The tax is based upon the whole amount of the price paid by the pur- chaser and is at the rate of one cent on each 10 cents or fraction of the sale price. When the price is paid at one time, though for sev- eral articles which are the subject of single transaction of purchase and sale, the total price paid is the unit for computing the tax. Thus if the purchaser orders two sodas at the same time, each sold for 15 cents, the tax is three cents and not four cents. If, however, he buys one soda for 15 cents the tax is 2 cents, and if he then immediately purchases another 15 cent drink the tax IS cents on the second drink which cannot be treated as part of the first sale. Any means by which. purchasers pool their order for the purpose of defeating or es- caping the tax shall be carefully guarded against by the vendor for its employment subjects the purchas- CT and the vendor, if he connoves to 1t, to heavy penalties.
 Printed regulations will be furn- ished dealers in the state," said Col lector Walker, land persons having questions not covered in the gen eral regulations should make inquiry of the Collector direct"
 Collector Walker said the dealers should keep daily records showing separately the amount received for each class of taxable transactions, grouped according to the amount of the sale and that the tax should be turned over to the government on or before the last day of each month for the business done during the proceeding month. He stated that suitable forms will be furnished to dealers before the first due date for a return. No particular method of accounting for the tax is prescribed by the department and any method IS acceptable that clearly shows the tax due according to the groups in- dicated.

He soon turned to other games, and as his bank roll scared, he be- came gamekeeper. Time and again his fortune tumbled, but he always gained a fresh start. It was l5 years ago, at Hot Springs, Ark, that his fortune completely disappeared. He borrowed S2O0. won $10,000 on the races, and then, protesting that he could not play cards, but that horse racing was his sport, entered poker game which went broke two days later, with the Gambling King" $10O,000 winner.
 When Becker returned to St. Louis last summer, after having lost $100,000 at the Saratoga race track, he laughingly told friends he had had more than $100,000 worth of fun watching the ponies stumble around the track" "The Kid" as Becker was known among his associates, would take almost any bet if odds were fair; he wagered huge sums on political and baseball series, and at one time is said to have lost $30,000 pitching $20 gold pieces at small bucket with Chicago gambler. The game con tinued several hours and clerks were engaged to keep score.
 Becker is said to have purchased s125,000 worth of bonds while the fourth liberty loan campaign was in progress.
 Becker, who was 36 years old, is survived by a widow and year old daughter.

DR.. AND MRS. GRAHAM
ENTERTAIN FOR MISS WILSON

The Intermediate Society OF
Christian Endeavor of the Presby.
terrain Church, composed of about
forty-five young people, in then
early teens, on Monday night united
with DR.. and Mrs. VIM. E. Graham
who graciously opened their home in
a social in honor of Miss Lois Wilson,
who is soon to go as Missionary to
Syria. The reception rooms were
cheerfully bright in red and white
decorations and all formality was
banished by the lively games in
which the guests were engaged as
soon as assembled. DIR. Graham led
them in singing some of the popular
songs, folk songs and rounds. Miss
Wilson was then aked for a message
to the young people whose Christian
activities she has directed for sew
eral years and who is much beloved
by them. She responded by giving
her reasons for desiring to go as a
Missionary with simplicity and
earnestness which greatly moved and
inspired her young auditors Sam
Franklin in we'll chosen words, and
excellent manner voiced the ap-
probation of the society for Miss
Wilson's directing hand in their
activities, and assured her of. their
sympathetic interest in her foreign
work. Mrs. Graham was assisted by
several of the mothers of the young
people in receiving her guests and
in serving an ice course which car
ried out the colors of the decora-
tions. Mrs. Wilson, the mother of
Miss Lois, was an honored guest.

Horses and Human
~ Influenza

Writing in the New York Medical
Journal, Major Georgia A. Soper,
Sanitary Corps, U. S. A., presents a
paper on Influenza in Horses and
Men" which, containing facts from
armys Investigations, is published
with permission Of the surgeon gen.
eral. Economically writes Major
Soper, influenza is the most import
ant disease of horses in temperate
climates" Boston realizes this in
peculiar fashion, since it's great fire
gained Roadway at time when
horses were incapacitated by the cpl
zootic. The morality among re-
mounts in the recent army due to in
fuenza has been many times more
than to all other causes together. 1t
is estimated that more than $4,000
horses purchased in Canada and the
United States for the British Army
during the years of the war died on
this side, of the ocean while waiting
for shipment. In the Army of the
United States, the loss among the
horses amounted to 100000 week
Epizootics have occurred from ear
lest historic-times. Italy had an i'm
portant one in 1901; in It'll it fol-
lowed tie tracks of great armies over
Europe and in 1908 it was pan
demic occurring with the Franco
Prussian war. It's spread over this
country was wave. 1t appeared in
Toronto in September, appeared in
Buffalo and Detroit in the first two
weeks in October, by the third week
it had spread to Bangor, Albany and
New York and then quickly invaded a
wider district. 1t reached Milwaukee
in the first week in November, and
about the same time it was observed
in Raleigh and Charleston, and by the
end of the month had touched Hous-
ton, Texas, and Little Rock. In De-
cember it reached Colorado, in Janu-
airy it was in New Mexico and Utah,
by March and April it invaded the
west coast and Mexico, and by sum-
mer time it was in Guatemala. 1t af-
fected more than million equines.
Morality rates of horses last year
at the Army shipping ports ran as
high as $50 per thousand per year,
which figures make it comparable
with losses from human maladies.
DR.. Soper draws an analogy be-
tween the human and equine infuen-
"a, and suggests that close study of
horse influenza may help in the hui
man disease. He notes that it spreads
at about the rate of the transporta-
ton of horses and points out the fact
that humans travel very much more
quickly. 1t is not so surprising,
therefore, that the recent pandemic
ran over this country with such speed.

New-York tribune., 1919-09-06
Unify;ng Railway Control

Under the Cummins railway bill one
governmental body is to fix wages
and another rates The Transportation
Board, charged with wage responsibility,
has nothing to say about rates. The IN
terstate Commerce Commission, charged
with responsibility concerning rates, has
nothing to say about wages
Thus a fatal defect seems introduced
into the bill. Two bodies subject to diff
ferent influences are likely to reach DIFF
ferent conclusions. The Transportation
Board, having no duty to find the money
to meet an enlarged payroll, would nat
urally tend to yield to demands of en-
ployes, while the Interstate Commerce
Commission, special guardian of the in
terests Of shippers, would struggle to
keep rates low Surely, here is no alur-
ing prospect for railway owners.
The double arrangement would. Of
course, place with the Transportation
Board power over rates as we'll as over
wages. The commission would not be
legally bound to raise rates to Offset
wage increases, but practically it would
be coerced. If it resisted beyond a GER
tain point paycars would have no funds
Whether wage fixing should be LODGED
with the commission or rate fixing with
the board is a question for experts. But
the two functions must be united in
some body if the railroads are not to be
run at the expense Of the National
Treasury and a railway budget is to be
made possible
New-York tribune., 1919-09-06
Surveying the DAMAGE

"A German engineer, DR.. Willy Lesser,
puts the number of houses DESTROYED
during the war in Belgium and Noyth-
ern France at 100000 at least. This
does not include, he says in the Bey-
timer TogcblaH, those edifices which.
although damaged, are in restorablc
condltlon; the number of the latter is
hardly below those totally wrecked.
There are besides the residences. DR..
Lesser estimates, about 1000 churches
and large number of other nublic
buildings, schools, state and municinal
offices, railroad stations and yards,
factories, warehouses, etc, to be rebuilt:
then roads, railways, aqueducts. bridges.
Reforestation viii be another consid-
cradle item.
Turning his attention to the recon
structlon of homes, the German expert
puts the pre-war value of the AVERAGE
village and small town house, shelter
ing family of four or five. at
5000 francs. A similar house cost. be-
lore the war, about 5000 marks in Ger
many, so that the per capita cost of
housing amounted to something like
1000 to 1900 marks. As the number
OF people in Belgium and Northern
France rendered homeless by the wars
devastation is about l 800 900, the total
expenditure of shelter reconstruction
reckoned on a pre-war basis, would an
proach 10000 100000 marks. Addinr
the cost of furnishings and fixtures.
figured at about one billion, the recon-
structon of French and Belgian homes
alone, leaving public structures out of
consideration, would cost GERMANY.
roughly speaking, three billions Of
marks--if pre-war prices still prevailed
AS it IS, Lesser is justified in assuming
that the total cost will be manv times
that sum.
Lesser draws up a rough estimate of
building supplies needed Accordine]v
at least 10,000,0OO,0 900 bricks, 5000 900
cubic metres of lumber, 100000 to g.,
100000 square metres of panel glass. ND
to 100000 metric tons of cement nm r.
100000 cubic metres OF lime. MANY
millions of tons of sand and gravel will
be required, not to speak of the tremen-
dous quantities of structural iron prod
ucts The roof tiles needed if put side
by side, would cover up an area larger
than that of Berlin, he says.
DR.. Lesser knows very we'll that Ger
many cannot furnish all these supplies,
that her main task will consist in pay
ing the bill. Nevertheless, he urges

nent acquaintances or to find decent places
to stop at within their means
We, therefore, decided that such a state
OF affairs should not exist and that we could
help the navy by helping the boys have a
decent place to go, where their general in
terests would be looked after in peace time
as they were during the war.
1t is not a mere fad. It's not the idea 10
provide the boys with any Injuries, but lust
merely to provide a place where the man in
uniform can find decent place to meet his
friends, to get something to eat perbaps

looked after within his meagre allowance
