Then every copy OF Pearson's
Weekly was impregnated with the

yards away.
Thousands OF people for weeks
afterward went about with a copy

resides at No. 1915 Shallcross ave-
nue. and has numbers of friends in
Wilmington He said:
your Plant Juice has been a life
saver in my home. Ny wife and
myself were both in badly rundown
condition and had no appetite; my
wife had chronic Indigestion which
she had been troubled with for years,
all the medicine she had taken fall
ed to give her any benefit. 1 had
headaches, was so nervous / could
not sleep at night, and felt weak and
miserable an the time; 1 had neuritis
and rheumatism and my body was
full OF sharp pains; / had TO give up
my work for two months as ! was
so weak I could not get around to
do anything; NIX arms and limbs
were so stiff I could not move them.
My wife and I had read so much
about Plant Juice that we decided
to give it a trial. We are now glad TO
say that we are enjoying life again.
we both have fine appetites, sleep
we'll at night and have not pain or
an ache. The action Of Plant Juice
has certainly been wonderful in our
case. We are glad to make this
statement, for Plant Juice is the only
medicine, of all the numerous ones
we took, that entirely relieved us of
our troubles. We cannot praise it
too strongly and hope that this en-
dorsement will be the means Of re-
/ lieving some poor sufferer.
Plant Juice is sold in Whining
ton at the Miller Drug store, 404-
/ 406 Market street; sold in New Cas-
tie by f. Challenger & Son; in New
port by c. b. White; in Newark by

hunting, although logging. wood

the senator perception of light"
Another who has applied TO DR..
Harris for treatment is ben" Welch
known to vaudeville -goers as "the
blind comedian" DR.. Harris says nc
has succeeded also in giving Welch
perception Of light"
Dr. Harris is a graduate of the
Harvard Medical School, and a mem
Der Of many medical associations. He
has been practicing in Boston for
nearly 20 years
He recently announced the result
OF his researches into optical all
ments at a clinic in Washington.
He maintains that nearly all eye
troubles are caused through strain Of
muscles of the eye; when the mus
cles of the eve are strained or con-
tracted, they squeeze the eye-ball ou'
of shape, thereby throwing the re-
tina of the eye out of focus.
DR.. Harris method is to procure
a perfect relaxation OF the eye mus
cles. When this is obtained he says
a cure is effected. He uses electricity
and a number Of simple exercises to
obtain relaxation.
"Some day." says DR.. Harris,
"There will be no need for eyeglasses
in this world. We will correct de-
fective vision through other means. "

SSbtIOOT URGES
The THE SALES TAX
Manufacturers of u. S,
Agree, Utah Senator De-
clares in Debate
OPPOSE HIGH
CORPORATION LEVY

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12--The sales
tax is bound to come, the Senate
was told yesterday by senator smoot,
Of Utah. author Of a manufacturers
sales tax plan which he urges as a
substitute for the excess profits tax
and the various miscellaneous levies
now in force.
There is no real fundamental,
objection to sales tax" the Senator
declared 1T is 'pay-as-yougo'
proposition, and for that reason
favored by manufacturers, though
they may pay more taxes than un-
der an income and excess profits
system But they will know to a
certainty just what the tax is; they
Will pay it out Of current receipts.
1t can be Immediately charged into
costs as a definite amount and with
out the imitation which has existed
under the excess profits tax, and
all taxes are charged into costs, just
as rent. wages. materials purchased
interest and all other expenses.
Every one TO whom Il applied
would be able TO ascertain the
amount Of his liability at glance,
and the process Of working out a
tax return would lose all its ter
rors. It will give the treasury de-
partment a constant inflow Of rev.
enue during monthly periods Cur
rent expenses can be met out OF
current receipts to that extent. II
amounts TO an adjusting OF taxes
to business instead Of trying 10 COM
pei business to adjust itself to taxes. "
Replying to arguments that the
proposed tax was impossible OF
administrator, Senator Smoot said
this was not a fact-that the manu-
facturers' taxes we're being collected
under the present tax law and that
collections could be made in the
same manner under his proposal.
He read a letter from Assistant In
sernai Revenue Commissioner Smith,
who stated that in his opinion. the
manufacturers sales tax would be
no more difficult Of administration
than the sales tax imposed by the
1917 and 1918 laws.
Under the present laws" the
speaker said. I'VE have raised dur
ing the fiscal ear Just passed close
to one billion dollars through vari-
Gus forms Of sales taxes and special
taxes which have been passed on
10 the consumer. OF which apout
two hundred million dollars mas
been upon sales by manufacturers.
In other words we have collected
during the fiscal year just passed
under manufacturers sales tax
an amount OF money greater than
was obtained in the year 1915
through the income tax on corpor
ations"
The Utah Senator opposed tn
proposed per cent increase in tn
corporation income tax and higl
surtax rates. declaring that the lat
ter we're keeping revenues from tn
government through the evasion o
taxes by men Of large incomes.
"Division Of property and invest
ment in tax exempt securities" h
continued have been generally us
ed as the means Of avoiding higl
taxes. The greater the wealth. tn
greater will be the savings. TIL
present law merely invites person
TO determine their own taxes. TIL
ignorant are caught but once only
They learn the method by exper
ience.
"Our present income tax system
Is really taxing the individuals VIII
are actively engaged in business
while Il forces out II taxation tn
individuals having great wealth"
