TO another worker less energetic il may be,
less alert mentally, but with the cultivated
speech that will count for much among the
people he has TO see.
The employers themselves may heartily
disapprove of the use of slang. If so, they
will continually feel slight irritation
against the slang user, a fact which GER
tainly will not be to his advantage.
Thus with all speech defects. II they
handicap in no other way, they tend TO
create prejudices which may operate seri-
ously against the inefficient speaker.
Hence it is no exaggeration to say, with
my good friend DR.. S. S. Curry, of Boston,
master in the correct use of the spoken
word:
when rightly considered, correct speak
ing is at least as necessary to the proper
use Of our language as writing, and must
be ever regarded as a fundamental part of
education"
Those deficient in speech in any way and
from whatever cause will indeed do well TO
make an earnest effort to overcome their
particular defects.
These may be of such a character as TO
be durable by sef-training. In other cases
their victims may require the guidance of
a skilled teacher They may even have to
call upon medical aid, as in the case of per-
sons whose stammering is a symptom of
nervous trouble. In any event, the effort
to improve the speech should be made.
Only beware of fraudulent voice Gull
tuIists" and speech specialists" Inquire
sharply into the reputation of any individual
or institution whose services are contem-
plated in securing speech Improvement

You Pay 1t

New York market authorities stopped sale OF $4,000
chickens that had been fed gravel to increase their
weight. Stuffing chickens with gravel is a good Illus
tration of how the excess profits tax works out
The price that should normally be paid for commodi-
ties by represents the chicken To THIS
price is added the producers profits txust rs
gravel is fed to chickens going to market.
There has never been easier to pass on than the
excess profits 1t is figured in rs one of the costs
or production and passed to be paid by the consum
es The profits of the producing business remains
untouched.
II is outright tax consumers, being tax on
excess profits only. And that part of an article
selling price that represents profits tax is the
same regardless of who buys. The toll levied the
poorest is identcaly the the richest
consumer In effect it is n levy of much head
regardless of ability TO pay
How long will the public tolerate this excess tax on
consumers?

How Long to Wear En-

The United States department of labor is responsible for
some statistics the familyS cost of living budget
for a family suggested Included is some more or less
health advice how long should wear our clothes.
While il appears all right for the wife her
er hat but season. she should make her winter hat do
for years Her winter coat should last her three
wears Her winter dress two years and her kid gloves two
years. umbrella should stay by her for three years
Please bear in mind that these suggestions come from
Uncle Sam. not from the editor.
The husband ought his raincoat six years his
overcoat years and his suits should last two years
Also (prepare to laughl he ought to carry the same
umbrella three years. Ever hear OF an umbrella mat
stuck to a that long?
When il comes to little boys the department is more
liberal They are allowed three pairs of pants year,
pair OF stockings each month. and five pairs of shoes
Besides every little boy is permitted to have every PAIR
Of shoes repaired and resoled every year.
That is what would call rank favortsm to little
boys Wen bet Secretary Wilson is making this play TO
get himself solid with the little boys What cares he
ii ma has to her last winters hat? Or pm II he
wears his overcoat of the vintage of 1915?
