PAY FOR VICTORY
The Soldiers Must Do So After
Having Won 1t.
War Tax on Civilian Clothes
Eats Into Bonus Money.
$3.50 TAX ON AN OUTFIT
Then More When SWeethearts
Order Banana Splits.
1t Is Funny, but War Heroes
Do Not Laugh.

Many are the curious sights one sees
in the stores in these days of return
ing soldiers. And one of the most
curious to the eyes of the hardened
civilian has to do with the working of
one of the greatest American wartime
institutions.
1t is funny-but also somewhat pa
thetic-to see the discharged soldier
just outfitting himself with "civies"
dig down into the war worn jeans of
olive drab and unearth funds to pay
MS luxury tax"
But the soldiers themselves do not
see anything particularly amusing in
paying war tax on the clothing they
must purchase before they can be full
fledged and uniformed civilians. 1t
makes mai ss,t them angry to pay out dimes
and dollars in tax levy made to help
pay for the war which they have won.
Taxes Amount Up.
And in the purchase of clothes the
returning soldier must pay about
$3.50 back to the government in the
so-called luxury tax. If he buy a pair
of civilian shoes. the kind that are
pointed and have English lasts. the
tax is generally in the neighborhood
of 20 or 80 cents. Shoes of good quail
ity cost something like s11. or more
usually more.
On hat costing about 50 the tax
is so cents. Suits cost from $50 up
wards if the soldier buys really good
clothing. War tax on them is also
appreciable.
Taxes on neckties, shirts. and the
thousand and one other things that
a man must have to be dressed in civ
ilian's style bring the total we'll up to
the $3.50 mark. A few cases are
known where the returning hero has
paid more than SIS in taxes to Uncle
Sam just for clothing luxury"
Usually Short of Cash.
And from the soldier standpoint the
worst part of it is that they generally
have just the $50 bonus they received
on discharge plus what back pay was
coming to them. The amount is gen.
orally not more than 500 in all. And
it takes every cent of it to even buy a
start towards civilian uniform-and
many times a credit must be arranged
to aid and abet the soldier in becom-
ing a full Pledged civilian.
And then, when the soldier gets all

THE POLICE FORCE

NAY and night-without

going on in your body be-
tween the germs of disease
and the white blood cor
puscles-the police force of
the human body.
If this police force weakens,
disease germs gain a foot
hold-sickness follows.
Constipation Is the most common
and dangerous way of corrupting
the human police force. Food
waste remains too long in the in
teStincs-decays- poisons the blood
and opens the way for attack by
the germs that cause tuberculosis,
diphtheria, pneumonia and null
titude of other ills.
The culpable habit of using salts,
pills, mineral waters, castor oil,
etc, to force the bowels to move,
makes this condition even worse,
as constipation returns almost IN
mediately.
Nujol is entirely different from
drugs as it does not force or irritate
the bowels.
Nujol prevents stagnation by soft
ening the food waste and encour-
aging the intestinal muscles TO act
naturally, thus removing the cause
of constipation and self-polsonlng.

CITY TO DESTROY
ALL DANDELIONS
Will Not Be Sold for Medicinal
Purposes as Far as
Known Here.

As far as known now the city will
simply just destroy the tons OF Gan
delions school children are expected 70
dig during the big dandelion extermina-
ton campaign starting Monday morning
and continuing for one week. boulevard
Superintendent J. B. Sherlock states no
plans have as yet been made, at any
rate, to dispose of them otherwise.
Dandehons can be utilized IN the
manufacture OF d medicinal tonic which
is said to be blood purifier. They can
also be eaten in the form of salads
But there is another purpose for which
they can be appropriated that interests
many Great Falls peoples more than
these They can be used in the MANI
facture Of dandelion wine, popular
drink in many households in years past.
This is said to be an intoxicant.
It is established under the prohibition
law Of Montana that no one is permit
ted to manufacture a fermented drink,
wine or anything else, but they can
make an unfermented wine. So if there
are any persons who know how to utilize
dandelions in the manufacture of un-
fermented wine they may do so.
Russian ThIstles Next
Boulevard Superintendent J. B. Sher-
lock says there is another weed thriving
here, especially on vacnt lots, which
will have to be attended to following
the dandelion campaign. This is the
we'll known Russian thistle. The roots OF
the thistle are not long and the weed
is easily destroyed. The nuisance of
Russian thistles is a fire hazard as the
weeds are high and extremely dry For
this reason, more thnn any other the
city ought to exterminate them. The
fire department has been called out
several times within the past few weeks
to extinguish small blazes among these
kind of thistles and grass.
