importance Of fresh air. Finally We
began to leave the bedroom win
dows open all night, and there is
no question that the children have
slept much better and improved in
health this past winter. The doc

No Change, Same Old Thing.
Why do you say there is no
change of life for women, and still
say that after forty, one is apt to
have cancer? There must be
change If we become more suscep-
tible to cancer at that age. Our doc
tor book says that n woman suffers
every conceivable kind OF trouble
in the years of forty to forty-eight
or fifty. yet You insist that the men
opause does not affect a woman's
health at all. (Mrs. J. M. b.
Answer-Women have no moro
change of life at any age than do
men, and are no more or less sus-
ceptible to disease of any kind at

bonuses.
Interest received on notes and
deposits in banks, including saw
ings banks.
Dividends on stock, whether re-
ceived in cash or stock. Only divi-
dends paid out of earnings or prof
its accrued since March 1, 1918, are
taxable, but dividends are deemed
to be distributed out of the most
recently accumulated earnings.
Profits resulting from purchases
and sales OF property, real or per-
sonal. If the property was pur-
chased before March 1, 1913, the
profit is based on the difference be-
tween the selling price and the fair
market price or value as of March
l, 1913.

ANOTHER KIND OF CENSOR
SHIP.
Dearborn independently.


There are censorships and CEN
sorships. Only the thoughtless and
malignant condemned the military
censorship in time of war when
the leakage of knowledge of mill
tary value to the enemy might have
cost the lives of friends and de-
tenders. But now the military CEN
sorship has given place to the po-
litical censorship. 1t is amazing
how much we are told of the details
of military conditions and with
what freedom everyone is allowed
to write and transmit all he knows
or guesses about what is or may be,
and how little anyone is allowed to
write and transmit about certain
social and political conditions which
transcend in human Importance
even the news of war.
1t is easy to explain the military
censorship: it existed for the peo-
pies safety. 1t is not easy to ex-
plain the political censorship un-
less by assuming that it is exer-
cised in behalf of the safety of con-
ditions which the world does not
wish to have saved.
There is a strange fear of knowl-
edge today in all the centers of
power, a strange fear of informa-
ton. Intelligent nations were new
er more at a loss to know what is
really transporting with reference
to their most vital concerns. And
all this can be translated into no
other term than fear Of the people,
a fear which in France has oper-
ated to prevent all public assem-
blies, in Britain to prevent full re-
ports of the uprisings that have oc-
Cured there, and in Russia to pre-
vent all Information of any sort
from being given out about that
country.
The case of Russia shows up the
political censorship at its worst
Under Czarism Russia censored all
news, both going and coming. Ref
erences in the press to American
political liberty were largely for
hidden tending to stir unrest among
the Russian masses. Today, Russia
is well informed as to everything
that is passing in the world, but the
world knows next to nothing
through the regular channels-of
what is occurring there.
And this is not the fault of Rus

The following items are not tax
able and need not be included in the

Property received as a gift or by

derstood. however, that the income
derived from such property is tax
able.
Proceeds of life insurance poll

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
young man and have been going
with a girl for about a month. At
| first l liked her very much, but
lately she has changed. Every
night that we are out she will stay
with me until about one-thirty and
she will let me kiss her whenever l
want to. She never takes me to
her home. She always leaves me at
the corner or goes to a friends
house. She often takes a bunch of
kids with us of girls who work
where she does.
l asked this girl to marry me just
for fun. She told me she would. l
do not make the money to take care
of any girl. I am going out OF
town for good in about a week.
How can l tell this girl was only
joking when I asked her to marry
me without hurting her? / would
hate to do that, and SO please help
me out. EDDY >.
You have not been honorable with
the girl. To propose is not Jok-
ing matter. You should have been
quick to see that she believed you
and corrected her idea that you in
tended to marry her.
If you go away now without say
ing anything It will break her heart
and she will wait and wait to hear
from you or to have you come back.
Such a thing would be so cruel that
1t will be better to tell her the
truth now. Go away with COM
plete understanding. When she
knows the worst she will resign
herself to 1t.

Andrews Acknowledges Re.

Of Fight.

Acknowledging the petition from
the mothers organization for repeal
of daylight saving law, Congress
man Andrews writes:
Il have done everything that l
could to secure the repeal of that
law because l believe it is unjust
and very injurious. especially to the
farmers of the country and to the
children in the sense tersely de-
scribed in your telegram. I'M
derstand the senate has passed the
house bill for repeal of section 3 of
the so-called daylight saving act.
The OBJ ections previously mentioned
by the president in his veto in re-
lation to the division of the country
into zones, will not appear in the
bill which has just gone to the
White House. The bill now before
him relates exclusively to the dis
honest treatment of the clock by
turning it backward and forward in
the vain expectation that the laws
of nature will be altered. 1t is
grossly unjust to rob the agricul-
tural people of an hour in the morn
ing and another hour in the evening.
thus increasing their cost of food
production by. Is per cent on the
basis of an eight-hour day. If the
president desires to reduce the high
cost of living he will surely approve
the bill that is now before him. On
the other hand. if he desires to en-
nance the high cost of living, he
will probably veto that bill. If he
should veto it. a strenuous effort
will be made in the house to pass
it over the veto.
"Why should so many millions of
people be compelled to endure such
loss and hardship simply for the
mere purpose of giving the joy-rider
or golf player an extra hour at the
end of the day? I pledge you my
hearty support to accomplish the
purpose indicated by your message"
