SODA WATER TAXES.
What Is and What Is Not Taxable Is
Explained by Collector

So much confusion has resulted over
the new taxes on soda fountain bever-
ages and ice cream, etc, that the fol-
lowing explanation from Seth w.
Jones, collector of internal revenue for
the Portsmouth, n. H., district, is Civ
en-:
"Rate of tax The tax is measured
by the price for which the food or
drink is sold. 1t is the actual sales
price at the rate of one cent for each
ten cents or fraction thereof of the
amount paid for any of the articles
mentioned in section 630 Each sale
for ten cents or less is taxed one cent,
and each sale for over ten cents is
taxed one Get for each ten cents or
fraction thereof of the price. The tax
is upon the whole of the amount of the
price paid by the purchaser when the
price is paid at one time, though in
payment of several articles which are
subject of q single transaction of pur-
chase and sale and total price paid is
the unit forcomputing the total tax.
Thus if the purchaser orders two sodas
at the same time, each sold for cents,
the tax is three cents and not four
cents II however, he buys one soda
for Is cents, the tax is two cents and If
he then Immediately buys another 10
cent drink the tax is two cents on the
second sale, which cannot de treated as
part of the first sale. Any means by
which separate purchasers pool their
order for the purpose of defeating or
escaping the tax imposed by section
$50 shall be carefully guarded against
by the vendor for its employment sub
iects the purchaser and the vendor if
he conmves in it, to the penalties pro-
vided in section 1908 of the act.
:" Articles taxable. Examples, the
following articles of food or drink are
subject to tax within the meaning of
section $50 of the revenue act of 1918
All beverages when compounded OF

WOODS NAME TO GO
BEFORE CONVENTION
Sen. Moses Says New Hampshire Will
Present Him as q Presidential Can
didate.

WASHINGTON, May Sin the opin
ion of Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
q growing sentiment is spreading through
out the Republican party for the nominal
ton of General Leonard Wood as the
partys candidate for president IN 1920.
Senator Moses says New Hampshire will
offer Cen Woods name at the Republi-
can convention as a favorite son, and he
believes that the general, if nominated,
would be elected
Senator Moses says sentiment for Cen
eral Wood is developing in all the New
England states, as well as throughout
the West.
The people,, he said ARE turning
away from Wilson, who will return home
sadly diminished in spite Of the league
of nations and its initial session to be
held in Washington A most significant
feature of many public meetings which
j have attended in New England was the
readiness with which the audiences rose
to any gibe at Wilson. This would have
been impossible prior to the President $
trip to Paris; and now it signifies the
shift in public opinion.
In turning from such a figure, the in
evitabIe tendency Of the public mind is

embodied this ideal to the last degree,
and had he lived ! think he would have
been our candidate, named, perhaps, by
reclamation With him gone there IS a
demand for an inheritor of the Roosevelt
legend.
TO many minds Leonard Wood seems
the righttul heir, with the strawberry
mark on his right arm, and all the other
signs OF full Identification With Roose-
welt he sought to serve overseas, and that
privilege was refused with Roosevelt he
accepted uneompainingly the fate which
jealous politicians meted out to him, and
did his full duty at home, like the
good soldier that he Is Like Roosevelt,
he has an infectious personality which
has battied all the plans of the admins
tration to pocket him. EXiled to Charles
ton BY the war department, he infected
the Southland nowhere has he more adj
mirers than in that solid Democratic see
ton Sent then to the paciist plains OF
Kansas as a safe hiding place, he inocu
lated that region with his genius and
now the prairies are ablaze with enthusi
assn for him. Transferred now to cosmo
politan Chicago, he seems to be repeating
there his experiences in the Democratic
South and the paciist Middle West-and
his sturdy Americanism is already pro
dueing its inevitable reaction
General Woods speeches, too, arc Of
a character to attract attention Hi,
thought is always for his country; anC
the controverted questions of acute mo
mentary interest have not diverted hin
from the central idea that the United
States must depend upon itself in the fu

Saving Daylight.

When Joshua of Bible fame
Old lsrael's foes did slay
He stopped the sun on Gideon
Through long summer day.
IN vain the Amorites did plead.

But had those heather lived today
They'd set their clocks ahead
So saving daylight is a scheme
AS ancient as the race.
Old Time has oft a laggard grown

Let's pass a law to make night day;
Let's all quit work at noon
Supper comes now at p. NJ.
