A Warning.

To feel tired after exertion is one thing /;
to feel tired before is another.
Don't say the latter is laziness-it isn't /;
but it's a sign that the system lacks vi
tality, is running down, and needs the
tonic effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
Its a warning, too--and sufferers
should begin taking Hoods at once.

"A tax on the gross value of goods

material or manufactured or partially
manufactured products, whether Of
domestic or Of foreign origin, and such
as are generally sold or exchanged
and delivered for domestic cOnsump

corporations organized and operated
exclusively for religious, charitable

TEXT of the sales tax BILL introduced
by Senator Smoot of Utah, shows
that the bill imposes tax of per
cent on all turnovers, with an annual
exemption of $4,000, the effect Of this
being to exempt smaller farmers and
tradesmen. 1t has been estimated that
the ! per cent would yield more than
$4,000, 100000 annually.
In statement in behalf of the plan
Senator Smoot says its advantages are
extreme simplicity Of assessment and
collection, low tax rate, applying uni
formly on all commodities, and alb
sence of complicated features which
make 1t difficult for the taxpayer to
know at any time what his tax llabili-
ties are. Senator Smoot defines the
