Says Indigestion Results from an
Excess Of Hydroehloric Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open
air, says a noted authority. He also
tells us that Indigestion is caused
by Hyper-acidity. meaning, there is
an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach which prevents COM
plete digestion and starts food fer
mentation. Thus everything eaten
sours in the stomach much like gar
bage sours in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy ballon. Then we
feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the
chest, we belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, fiatu

FOR FRANCE DAY
New Plan to Help Farmers
In War-Torn Districts
of Europe.

Do you want a chicken in France?
Nope. You guessed wrong. By
Chicken" is not meant a French
gazelle, but an honest-to-g goodness
cackler.
Buy one of the several thousand
buttons being distributed by various
organizations in the District, show
ing peppy-looking chicken and
the words-'T have a chicken in
France"-if you wish to aid in a
scheme to help farmers in tho de-
vastated agricultural districts of
France.
Miss Helen Stout, head of the
Children of the American Revolu-
tion here. is in charge of the sale
of the buttons and has planned a
tag day" for Easter Monday.
Buy a ten-cent button and you
will place one fertile egg in an
incubator on French farm; a
twenty-five-cent button, will finance
that egg into a young chicken. =
Enough money to cover an entire
farm with chickens has been raised
already by the Janet Richards Cur
rent Topic Glasses. Ten of the
D. A. r. chapters have contributed
to the chicken fund.
Miss Ethel Foster. art teacher of
the Central High School and her
classes are making posters to be
used in the tag day sale. Mrs.
Sangstad, of Mckinley Manual
Training School. is making artistic
post cards for the same cause. Miss
Jessie Baker is lettering signs to
be used in the sale.

his own in his own estab-

Carry a few extra pennies in your
pockets after May 1.
Uncle sam IS going 10 tako them
away from you TO help pay for the
war.
Every time you spend a dime at a
soda fountain or iceo ream parl5r on
and after May / you'll have 10 throw
an extra penny on the counter TO pay
the war tax.
Many soda fountains which charged
s. cents for sjdas and sundaes during
the war have reduced the price back
10 10 cents, but you're likely soon to
see signs over their fountains reading:
"Sodas and sundaes now A cents"
The tax on Ice cream and soft drinks
is one only ~ the many which go into
effect under the revenue act on May T.
Tile most important OF these are the
sO-called luxury taxes. which are
written into the revenue bill before it
became apparent 10 our congressman
thtt they We're unnecessary.
An attempt was made 20 pass a bill
repeating them before Congress ad-
i0urncd. but 10 was one Of the bills
talked 10 death In the ilibuster. II .s
likely that The "luxury taxes" will be
repealed during the coming special
session. but until then Wen have TO
pay en-.
They call these luxury taXes,n but
the commodities taxed are by no means
al luXuries. Congress intended the
taxes 10 fan on the rich and tho we'll
i3-do people Of the country. but some
OF them will fan just as heavily on
the great 20 per cent Of the population
represented by the middle classes and
the poor.
Take, for instance, the tax on medi-
cines. After May 4 you'll have 10 pay
tax Of 1 per cent. for each - cents
worth 0f proprietary medicines you
buy whether they are pills, tablets.
powders, syrups. tonics, plasters, salvc
or ointments. II you pay 81 for a bot
tlc Of medicines, you'll pay 4 cents
tax.
The same fax viii apply 70 tooth /
powders, hair dyes. hair rest0ratives. /
Toilet waters, perfumes and other toll /
st articles.
The tax on other "luxuries" is not |
80 heavy as that on medicines, toilet |
articles and beverages. The reason for /
his is That, while the tax is 10 per |
Evening journal., 1919-04-16

cent, ~ Is imposed not on the entire
price OF the article taxed. but on that
par OF 10 in excess OF a specified
amount.
For instance, carpets and rugs are
taxed 40 per cent on the amount you
pay over 50 a square yard That e, n
you buy ten square yards Of carpet al
s. the square yard. or $50. you VIII pay
no tax. But IL you pay Sc a square
yard for ten yards, or SEQ you will be
taxed on that extra dollar a yard. Thus
YOU will pay S6i0 yard, 1r col for
the ten yards.
Another luxury tax" that VIII hit
the poor after May Is that on moving
pictures, which requires every person
leasing moving picture films for cXhi-
btion 20 pay a monthly tax OF D per
cent. 0f the amount his films pro-
duces in rentals. This tax, OF course,
will be added 90 that already being
paid by the public on admissions 10
moving picture theatres. In many
cases it will double the price OF movie
tickets.
These new taxes are In add tion 10
many others which went into effect on
April (. Prominent among these Is the
tax OF per cent. OF the total price
paid on an articles Of jewelry.
Slill other luxury taxes, which af-
feet wealthy people principally, but
here and lhere dig into the pockets OF
the poor. have been paid ever since
The revenue act was approved by the
President In March These include the
following percentages Of the total
prices:
