Nellie and Sara Kouns had some of
the heartbreai;ing moments every am

career, but fonce they "arriv ved"-and
the journey was not long-they have
been huge success and much in de-
mand. They have Travelled extensive
ly over the United States and their ac-
quaintanceship is so large that they
seldom sang in a billet or canteen in
France where they were not known by
some of the men in the audience.
While abroad they travelled all over
France visiting the principal watering
places of tho country and the camps.
After the arnistice they did consider
able entertaining in Germany. They
personally met the important generals
of the war and sang for Pershing sew
eral times. They went abroad under
the direction of the Y. II. c. A. and
were in uniform during their service
there. But now the uniform has been
discarded and they brought back many
beaufzful clothes which Topeka knows
they've wear so well.

The new merchandise tax, commonly
known as THE LUXURY TAX of 1879
goes into effect May 1st
Collection of this so-called Luxury
taxi and the tax on toilet articles and
patent medicines, etc, and the tax on
soft drinks, ice cream, ETC.. imposed by
the revenue bill must begin May 1st
The $50 tax on jewclry, silverware, ETC.,
began April LIST. Retailers will be re-
CURED to collect the taxes from the pub
lie In the amounts and proportions speci.
fed in the law and to remit to the Gov
eminent each month the amounts 80
collected
The amount Of this tax will not be
burdcn-somc upon the shopping public,
since the tax free minimum prices set by
the Government are liberal and the tax
above these minimums is only 1879.
To avoid confusion in peoples minds,
tue Retail Merchants association of this
City has considered it wise to publish the
simple facts concerning the law, with a
list of the things to be taxed,
AS an example, if man buys $500
shirt. The minimum price set by the
Government as exempt is $500. He
therefore pays tax of 1919 on 500,
which is the difference between the
exemption Of $500 and $780, the price
of the shirt. The tax is therefore 2Oc and
the total cost Of the shirt $500
Another example: A woman pur-
chases $500 hat The minimum price
set by the Government as exempt is
$1,000. She therefore pays tax of 1879
on $1,000. which is the difference between
the exemption of $500 and $500, the
price of the hat The tax is therefore
Sl.O0 and the total cost of the hat 500.
In other words, on each dollar above
the minimum price set by the Govern
ment 1919 must be paid by the purchaser.
Other Forms of Taxes Imposed Are
AS Follows:
A tax of 1919 is required on fur gar
ments made upon order from customers
by retailers of furs Example, One Hud-
son Seal Coat $500, add 1919 tax $50
Total cost $3.50
A tax of so is required on all pur-
chases of jewelry, silverware and pearls

opera glasses, gold or silver frames, spec
tacles or eyeglasses, fountain pens, shoe
and belt buckles. Example: If you buy
a clock for $500 add $50 tax, IS cents.
Total cost $15.75.
A tax of / cent for each % cents or
fraction of amount paid is required on
all purchases of perfumes, cosmetics, etc,
used for toilet purposes, and on patent or
proprietary medicines, articles, prepare
tions, remedies or specifics. Example:
You buy box of talcum powder for 35
cents the tax is 2 cents. A bottle of
cough syrup for 63 cents, the tax is 3
cents. Cost of goods $98. Tax cents,
total cost $1.03.
4 tax of l cent for each 10 cents or
fraction thereof is required on purchases
of soft drinks, ice cream, ice cream sodas,
sundaes etc. Example,: If you buy a
coca-cola at 5 cents the tax is cent and
YOU pay cents. If you buy ice cream at
Is cents the tax is , cents and you pay
II cents.
Each store in this city. and in the
entire country, is informed of this tax,
and is required beginning May 1st, to
accomplish the collection Of this tax, the
entire amount collected being paid to
the United States Government each
month. The Government alone benefits
from the amount of the tax. the mer-
chants do not.
Each store will have the rules and
regulations concerning the Luxury Tax
posted in each department, and all sales
people will be'instructed so that the Gus
toner may thoroughly understand.
On all articles which are taxable under
this law, each store of the Retail Mer-
chants association will show clearly on
the price ticket the price of the article,
the amount of the tax to be paid to the
Government, and the total of these two,
which must be paid by the purchaser.
We suggest that the people reading
