WOMEN AND JOBS

Now that men are coming back and
and wanting positions. are the women
to be relegated to the waste basket
or, more accurately, to the kitchen?
Some think this is a solution of the
problem of unemployment. But how
could it Oe when the act would only
throw out of employment women in
stead of men, Housework is just as
abhorent to some women as it is
to men, and hordes of women haven't
any kitchen to go to.
During the war women were given
the chance that had been denied them
before In fields hitherto regarded as
for men only women have made good.
1t was found that work before regard
ed as too hard for them was not near
ly so difficult or dangerous as work
they had been doing.
In their way the women have given
as well as the men in this war. So
why should they be regarded as a
negligible factor now?
Perhaps some women are not as
These are the ones to put out. But
when one person can do the work as
well as another. why should sex be
the deciding factor?

CHANGES IN REVENUE BILL
Many Have Problem Of Making Out
Income Tax Returns.

With the passage of the new rev.
enue bill the problem of making out
an income tax return for 1918 is pre-
sented to millions of taxpayers.
Last year the taxpayers had to keep
in mind the provisions of the 1916 and
1917 acts, both of which were effective.
This year he has only one law to con-
sider The new revenue bill, however,
contains number of important
changes. with which, in order fully to
comply with the law, taxpayers must
acquaint themselves.
Probably the most important change
affecting individuals is the rate, the
exemptions of $1,000 for single per-
sons and $1,000 for married persons
and heads of families remaining the
same as under the 1917 act. The nor
NAL rate of tax under the new act is
per cent on the first $4,000 of net
income above the exemptions and II
per cent on the remaining net income
This applies to every citizen and resi-
dent of the United States. Alien nom
residents of the United States having
property here are taxed on the income
from that property to the full II per
cent of the normal tax. For 1919 and
subsequent years the rates are fixed
at 4 and per cent. respectively. I'm
der the 1917 act the normal rate was 2
per cent on net income in excess of
the exemptions.
Under the 1916 act the normal rate
was per cent on the net income of
single persons in excess of $4,000 and
per cent on the net income of mar
ried persons and heads of families in
excess of $4,000. The normal rate of
tax on incomes in excess of the ex-
emptions provided for by the 1916 act,
therefore, was per cent.
The new bill provides an additional
exemption of 5000 for each person de-
pendent upon the taxpayer for chief
support, if such person is under eigh-

What do Columbians read? r. E
Lucas, who has managed a circulat-

reads the lightest fiction, preferably
detective stories.

 TRIBUTE TO HICKS
Seventh Connecticut Volunteers, at Reunion, Pass Resolutions on
 Former Local G. X. R. Man.


 The Seventh Connecticut Volunteers met yesterday for thoir annual re- following resolutions on the death of the late Major Ira E. Hicks:
 Assembled in annual reunion, as privileged once more, it is not with out feelings of mingled sadness that we wait and listen for the foot-fall and cheerful salutation of our late comrade, Capt. Ira E. Hicks, who died at his home in New Britain, March 18th of the present year.
 Though with hearts steeled by long experience to the stern command to Close up"! and so cover the gaps in our advancing ranks, the falling out of one today from the depleted preserves of the old 7th Connecticut Volunteers, occasions feelings of in eXpressible sorrow.
 "Comrade Hicks in no way ignored the fact of a common ancestry with those of the embatt hosts of our country barring their bosoms to the pitiless storm of death made neces- sary by the rebellion of 1861. By close application to business he had indexed capacity and possibilities for usefulness in the industrial world when there came that calamitous call to arms awakening the nation to the imminence of a life and death struggle, that government of the people, by the people and for the peop1e'-the heritage tequeathed us at Bunker Hill and openly proclaim ed I,1- r o1n of don "should not perish from off the earth.''
 "Enlisting in Co. I, Seventh regi- ment, Connecticut Volunteers, Sept. 9th, 1861, he was promoted to a first leutenancy, wounded in our charge on Fort Lamar, at Secessionville, $. C., June 16, 1862; he was afterward, July II, 1863, made acting adjutant of our four companies in the world renowned assault on Fort Wagner. He subsequently joined in the attack on Richmond as aid to Gen. Birney, commanding the Tenth army corps. Afterward promoted to a captaincy of infantry, failing health made it neces- sary for him to resign from the serv- ice and he was mustered out Decem- Der 4. 1864.
 Tn all his subsequent relations as citizen, in business and social rela- tions; as an official of the G. A. R., local, state and national; as post master for upwards of twenty years; as vestryman in the church of which he was a member. and in the most sacred of all relations that of hus- band and father, he won for himself the well done' of faithful and af- fectionate service.

DRlNK HOT WAITER lJF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMPLEXION Says we can't help but look
 better and feel better after an Inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fermenta tions and poisonous toxins before 1t is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns leaves behind certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave i'll the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are ln- tended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. which is a harmless means of wash ing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweeten1ng and purifying the entire ailm entary tract before putting more food into the stomach.
 Men ana women W1ln SdllOW ShAIS liver spots, pimples or pallid com plexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos- phated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced. results in one or two weeks.
 ,-+o of pStnnR phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more i'm portant than outside cleanliness, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.
