ABOLISH USE OF BOOZE.
President of Mexico Gladly Increases
Tax on Alcohol

Mexico City, Feb. /, (By Mail y
President Carranza is considering q
plan submitted by national board of
health for the enactment of legisla-
ton that will gradually result in the
complete abolition of the alcoholic
liquor traffic in Mexico. He recently
signed a decree increasing from 25 to
so per cent. the tax on puIque and
other alcoholic beverages in Mexico
City.
The constitution, according to the
officials of the Board of Health,
gives that body powers to dictate
health regulations that will result
in the abolition of the liquor traffic
The boards program, as submitted
to the president, provides for an Ella
borate campaign to suppress the
liquor traffic gradually. High duties,
early closing hours for saloons, tenn
perance lectures, organization of
societies and various other
means would be resorted to before
the prohibitory regulations become
fully effective.

AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

MANY months of comfort at little
expense" is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California, sums up
his experience with Ne0lin Soles. Mr..
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes Il will have to get new shoes
sometime, but SO far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Neolin SoIes.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for re-soling. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.. Akron.
