FAITH IN RED
Flannel SHIRT
But Whisky and Quinine
Add Touch TO Safety,
Nonagenarian Says
SAMUEL ADAMS is
ACTIVE ON BIRTHDAY

Samuel Adams. veteran OF the
Union army and navy In the Civil
War, and formerly a master boiler
maker OF the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Corporation, is today quietly
celebrating his ninetieth birthday
anniversary at his home. 9O2 Madison
street
Whisky, quinine and the red-fian-
mel shirt are mentioned by Mr..
Adams as factors conducive to long
life. Prohibition, IL It could be en-
forced, Is favored by him, but he
looks with disapproval upon prohi-
bition as II exists today. las I see
Il you can put liquor out OF ex-
lstence when you can make water
run up hill" he states.
Through the greater part OF my
life when / had a cold ! did not
take a chance OF getting pneumonia.
but right at the start, I went and
got some quinine and dissolved II in
whisky and went to bed. The next
day i invariably woke up filter than
ever" Whisky has its use like ev-
erything else" he concluded. The
Lord knew that when re turned the
water into wine. yet some people
now are taking it on themselves 10
urn the wine back into water
again"
Seriously" he said, Il would be
glad to see prohibition for the sake
IF those weak mortals who can't
stop when they get enough, II prohl-
oition could really exist. But as !
see Il you can put liquor out OF ex-
isience when you can make water
run up hill. And with the large
quantities OF inferior stun that Is
being sold today I do not see any
Improvement on the old order Of
things"
fie said he believed that a large
proportion Of sickness and death
came from colds caught through un-
necessary exposure. MANY a man
and many a woman has gone into an
early grave because they we're too
proud 20 wear a red flannel shirt, ="
he concluded.

easily discernible. The one is an
aemic, pale, white-lipped. thin-
checked, with dun eyes, drooping
figure and lack-lustre hair. The
other IS a Joy TO all beholders-full

She says:
Il had begun to think that my
case was hopeless as had tried all
kinds Of medicines and been un~vr
treatment for stomach trouble; my
liver and kidneys were also Affect
ed and l was so nervous that I could
not sleep az night; had no appe-
tite whatever and the least bite OF
food I aid eat would cause me
agony afterwards with gas and
bloating; I was constipated and
terribly weak and run down when I
heard of your Plant Juice. After
taking II but a short time there
was a remarkable change for the
better; I now have a good appetite.

STATE TO ROUND UP LICENSE
TAX PAYERS.

a round up Of tax dodgers in
New Orleans is to be carried on by
joint action of state and city Off
Gals.
A force Of tax inquisitors work
ing under the direction of Public
Accountant w. \. Mcfarland,
will be put at work in New Or
leans checking UP returns made
under the Dreyfus license tax law,
if the plans made bv Finance
Commissioner Richard Murphy
are carried out.
Under the Dreyfus act, the eli
cense tax was increased cOnsld-
erablv to make up the deficit due
to loss of the liquor tax. Persons
coming under the business license
law must make sworn affidavits
as to the volume of business done
annually. The license tax@SAis
based On the gross volume Of |srls-
mess done in the year.
CITY treasurer Drumm is now
collecting the 1921 business l.
:ense tax under the Dreyfus bill.
It is said that there are many
cases Of evasion in that the actual
Mount Of gross business done is
not properly returned. This eva
sion permits the person who
makes a low return to escape with
A small license. That is, $40
license NAV be assessed where it
should be $50.
To catch the tax dodger for the
ac tual amount due the city it is
planned to ask Governor Parker
to instruct Public Accountant
Mcfarland to send a. force of men
to this city to make an investiga
ton of all suspected" returns.
Under the public accounting law,
the state accountant has author
itv to demand and examine has
authority to demand and examine
the books and records Of any con-
Germ or individual.

SCAVENGER.

In reading the following New
York dispatch we are reminded
Of a remark that was said to have
been made by Com. Vanderbilt,
the founder Of the Vanderbilt
millions. While driving in the
suburbs Of Brooklyn one day, ac-
companied by his wife, he spoke
to a woman they passed. who was
propelling a push cart. For
heaven s sake, said his wife, "who
was that vulgal person you spoke
to? How ca n you lower yourself
to speak to such people?"
"That," said the commodore.
"Don t YOU remember her? She's
the woman who owned the cart
that You used to push when you
peddled CLANS for living before
