than he, despite his small defect. In
his mind the defect was magnifsed.
Even his mother never dreamed how
many tears her little hoy shed nor
how many hours he lay awake at
night, brooding over his affliction.
He was chided for sullenness, called
stupid and contrary, even punished,
for moods and acts which, had peo-
pie but known, all had their origin
in the fact that his face differed in
that one respect from the faces Of
his schoolmates.
AT the earliest opportunity he ac-
cepted work in a distant city and
there consulted a dentist. To the
latter he explained that he wanted
his upper teeth pulled back to meet
those of his lower jaw.
'Tmpossible," the dentist replied.
"Your upper teeth are properly plac-
ed and your lower jaw is properly
formed. There is absolutely no de-
formity. You have a perfectly strong,
well-shaped chin The only trouble
is that your lower jaw sets back a
little farther than the upper. The
ordinary observer does not take that
into consideration and says you lack
a chin"
"But I want something done to
remedy the defect" persisted the
youth.
'It is too late, now" was the dis
couraging answer. 'The defect, which
is very slight, should have been rem
edied when you were a baby. Then
your lower jaw could easily have
been pulled and massaged gently for
ward into place. 1t is a great pity
it was not done. Your mother should
have given it attention"
Let that be a lesson to other
mothers.
A very different case in point and
from which another lesson NAV be
learned was that of the woman whose
first baby, horn when she, herself.
was but eighteen years old, was what
now would be termed "an incubator
baby" He was so tiny that for two
months his mother cared for him on
a pillow and his father was afraid
to touch him. But during all those
weeks his mother never neglected 20

French Tax on Foreign Securities
A-well known local banker who re-
turned n few days ago from trip
abroad, called attention today to n bill
which was laid before the French
Chamber of Deputies on May 27, bv the
Minister Of finance, for the levying Of a
naturalization tax Of per cent on all
unregistered (non aboDnees) foreign
securities. In addition to the naturali-
zation tax special transfer tax" will
be levied on all securities. whether
stamped or naturalized. The bill has

ferred to the commission Of finance.
The two important features Of the
bill appear tn be: That any French
citizen or foreigner domiciled or habit
ually residing in France who comes into
possession of foreign securities which
are not registered. whether bought in
France or abroad. acquired gratuitously
or against payment. shall nay the tax
and that the possession of these securi-
ties constitutes liability of payment of
the tax, irrespective of the fact whether
the said securities are deposited In

Bull Points on Southern Pacific
Among stocks which are said to be
on the way to materially higher figures
most confidence was placed in Southern
Pacific. The buying of that stock is
asserted to have been Of the strongest
possible character for long time, and
In one quarter the prediction was made
that before the movement ends 1t Will
sell at a new high record.
In connection with Southern Pacific
attention veg called to the fact that
there have been recent inquiries from
many strong sources for many OF the
Mexican Government and public utility
issues. and some large amounts Of those
securities are known to have. been
bought by what are called shrewd buy
ers in the past few days. These opera
tions were based on the belief that the

it's efforts to sustaining business enter

Get 1t Straight.

Through an unintentional error in
newspaper publicity. which was more
or less general over the United
States. the public has been given
the impression that incomes from
stocks are subject to the income tax.
This. il appears. is Nh error.
II you own certain amount of
stock in a corporation and YOU re-
ceive an annual income Of : or 10
per cent, or any other amount. from
that stock. the income is subject TO
taxation provided IL is paid TO you
ia currency or by check.
But IL that dividend is paid to you
in the form of additional stock in
the corporation. then such income in
the form Of additional stock is not
subject TO income taxation.
The public will feel relief in
knowing that the holders Of great
wealth in the form Of stocks are
not to escape their just proportion
Of taxation.
This paper is gihd to aid in ma
INK correction Of an error into which
millions Of people appear TO have IN
noeently fallen.

There are many things n man may
do that would lower him in the esti-
nation OF the public. yet would not
bring him into conflict with the law.
And have you noticed that men in

much as possible? And why? Because
