The SECOND COLLECTION.

A young woman reports that she
was travelling on train recently,
when a girl, evidently on her first
trip, entered and occupied the other
half of her seat. The conductor came
through calling for tickets and after
some embarrassed fumbling the girl
handed hers over.
A few minutes later a train boy
came down the aisle behind her cry

Much has been said and writer
about the tax scheme in Canada
which has without doubt brought into
the Canadian treasury a huge sum

and apparently no burden has been
felt by the taxpayers. Indeed, one
writer referred to the levy as a pain
less tax, and, if any tax can be
truthfully called painless, the sales
tax of Canada seems to justify the
description. 1t became effective in
MAY, 1920, and, in its first year OF
operation, levying rate of two cents
on the dollar, yielded $50,O0,000 in
revenue. A similar levy in our coun-
try would, it is estimated, yield about
six hundred millions annually. With
out doubt it would be fair to all
would put premium upon economy,
and yet could not be said to carry any
extra imposition upon the luxuries
and eXtravagances of those who do
not want to be economical. The dis
tribution, in other words, would be
universal; the collection would be
economical; chances for dishonesty
and evasion would be minimiZed.
Congress HeSitateS.
But regardless of the fact that our
own country has already had consid-
erabe experience with sales taxes as
imposed by the Acts of 1917 and
1918, the administration of which
has been satisfactory and successful,
. there seems to be heSitancy on the
part of Congress to do away with the
onerouS, annoying lines of taxes so
. difficult and expensive to collect, and
to adopt instead-even on trial
some sort Of saleS-taX plan.
Chambers of commerce, business
and commercial organizations of all
sorts throughout the entire country,
and many individuals generally, have
advocated the proposition as the most
intelligent, fairest and least oppres-
sive of all forms of taxation. The in
dorsement of many others would no
doubt follow if more thought were
given BY the mass of taxpayers to the
fact that the men of modest incomes
are really finally paying the big sur
taxes of the rich-for it is a fact that
the more the latter's incomes are
taxed the more is added to the price
of the product from which such in,
| comes are derived. A sort of endless
: chain affair, and veritably a chain
that has us all bound tight

Let's Try This.
If it should appear that there is
justification for hesitancy on the part
of Congress to try forthwith a gener-
al sales-tax plan similar to that which
Canada has adopted, which taxes the
sales of middlemen as we'll as manu-
facturers, why not try the plan pro-
posed by. Senator Smoot, to levy a
manufacturers and producers tax of
three per cent on goods sold for con-
sumption or use without further pro-
cess of manufacture?
Or, if not that plan, why not try a
modified general consumption or

one fat lady who had been sitting on

tapped round her ankles, and at
every step she stopped and carefully
pushed them down. The conductor

Phoebe Lee, Once Model
For Mrs. Whitney, Joins
The Midnight Rounders'

Phoebe Lee, model for many Of the
sculptures of Mrs. Payne Whitney, and
daughter of Jack lee, a noted English
explorer, is now one of the most at
tractive members of the new mid
night Rounders of 1924" at the Crn-
tury Promenade.
Miss Lee was born in Sheffield, Eng
land, and first came to this country in
January, 1914. From her girlhood until
her fathers death, which occurred in
1914, She travelled with him on his ex-
peditiops through Central and South
Africa, Australia and the South Pacific
Isles. She is a crack shot with heavy
express rifles as we'll as with lighter
guns. She also learned from keF
eather how to mount the skins and
heads OF Wild animals.
Upon her arrival here In 1914 with
her mother and three brothers and
three sisters Miss Lee studied art at
the Art Students League, becoming pro-
ticient in pen and ink illustrations.
Her 1.-THE and artistically proper
toned figure attracted the attention OF
Mrs. whitney, who induced her 10 pose
for a series of statues in Mrs. Whit
ney's Maciougal Alley studio. Subse-
quently she posed for Harrison Fisher,
Frederick Duncan, Reginald Ward,
George Shepherd, James Fraser and
Henry Olive.
Miss Lees spirit Of exploration, In
herited from her father, led her to
wander one day into the Century
Promenade while rehearsal was In
progress. She became interested and

Much Suffering Caused by
Waste Products in the Blood
What Science Knows About the Matter and How 1t Il
Best Treated

The blood is more important than
my of the organs. 1t is thru the
blood that the whole human body is
directly or indirectly nourished. The
blood gets its nourishment from the
intestines. The intestines also con-
tain waste products - undigested
foods, acids, gases and refuse, which
sometimes get in the blood.
When waste products get in the
blood, nature will strive to cast them
out. If your resistance is strong
enough, nature will probably succeed.
But if you are ''below par" weak,
rundown, and nervous, nature will
begin to show signs of distress.
AS a result, you will have that
feeling of fatigue. You will lack the
energy you need for the days duties
and pleasure. Minor ailments will
begin to affect you--pimples, black
heads, and boils. -
If the waste products are not gotten
out of the blood at this point, it is
possible more serious skin eruption
or disease will begin to show itself.
