,.Re-Locating a Kitchen
BIZ Mrs. Christine Frederick,

beater and carries 1t to q table
probably ten feet across the room.
When she wants to mash potatoes
she trots the same unnecessary
twenty feet back and forth before
she begins the actual Job itself.
H. were Mrs. Jones l would "re-
locate" all the equipment in my
kitchen. ] would look at every pot
and pan and ask myself where
these are mostly used. II on the
stove, they should be placed some
where near it. SO that they may be
grasped right at the point of use,
without entailing search, walking
and waste time. ! would ask my
self the same question about every
beater, masher, colander and dip
per, and answer it by locating"
each article at the point where II
is most frequently used.
Where are the kitchen knives?
In table drawer which must be
walked to, opened, shut and long
trip made back with the knife? Or
are they hung up, as they should
be. IN a special rack over the table
where they are most commonly
used?
Over my kitchen sink hang
aluminium quart and pint measures,
and frequently persons ask me,
why" reply that they are con-
stantly used to measure water in
cooking, and consequently they
hang over the water supply where
they are within easy reach when
needed
Another example of location" in
my own kitchen is that of the tea
and coffee and their respective pots.
On a narrow shelf are placed tea
canister and teapot, and adjoining
glass coffee jar and pot.
When one desires to make either
of these beverages It is only neces-
sary to lift the two hands. taking
the tea in one and the pot in the
other, and lay both on the table
with one motion. In the table is a
drawer holding spoons to measure
with, and the stove is only few
inches to the left.
Contrast this example of good
location" with the time and mo-
tion that would be necessary IL the
teapot we're kept on a shelf over
the sink and the tea canister
placed on a shelf in pantry often
as much as fourteen feet outside of
the kitchen floor limit.
Yet women often wonder why
housework Is SO firing and look

Each use. of Pepsodent brings
five effects which modern authori-
ties desire. 1t attacks the film in
two effective ways. 1t leaves the
teeth so highly polished that film
coats cannot easily adhere.
1t multiplies the salivary flow
Natures great tooth protecting
agent. 1t multiplies the starch di-
gestant in the saliva, to digest
starch deposits which otherwise
cling and may form acid. 1t null
tipliesythe alkalinity of the saliva,
to neutralize the acids which cause
tooth decay.

Dental science long has sought
ways to combat that film. They
have now been found. Countless
careful tests have proved them.
Now leading dentists everywhere

The methods are embodied in a

millions of people have lately
adopted it, largely by dental ad-
vice.

Extra to brush teeth in this way

It takes no extra time to brush
teeth in this new, efficient way.
And note the results which old
ways do not bring.
You do not clean teeth when
you leave film. Nor do you pre-
vent tooth troubles, as millions of
people know.
Film is the enemy
Film is the enemy to fight. It
causes most tooth troubles.

First Bloom Received From the
 Harvesting of Income TaxationI

How some people feel about the in come tax is indicated in the foliowin excerpt from the Kiwanian of March Il The views are here reproduced at tn request of E. G. Chandler. as follows: The income tax is the most vi- cious, cruel, inhuman, and unneces- sary punishment ever inflicted on people in the entire history of the human race.
 It throttles every form of business enterprise and individual effort, It takes away all incentive toward the exerciH of the creative instinct. It imposes monstrous injustice upon legitimate trade and commerce.
 It provides an inexhaustible treasure chest for the greedy hand of the politician, and feeds and fat tens the great horde of parasites, incompetents, and bunglers who find in a government job the only place in lifes scheme of things where it is possible for man to live without either brains or guts Our present taxation is making paupers out of some of the people. and liars out of everybody.
 It is necessary for every citizen to pay taxes, but under the present system, after the national govern ment. the state, and the munici- pality get through with an individ- ual or corporation, nothing is left but accounts payable. Just so long as this system of taxation provides the billions, public servants will provide ways to spend them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-03-17

What is needed in government is the same ruthless cutting down of expenses which private business and private individuas have had to institute. Cut off the deadheads and the boneheads, and you will cut down taxes Lop off all the useless bureaus, commissions, committees, boards, conferences, missions, de- partments. divisions. and subdi- visions.
 Let public business get down to brass tacks, just as private business h'sz been forced to do. Let the gov ernment practice some of the same economy, thrift and good manage ment which every person and enter prise must needs now practice to keep out of the hands of the sheriff
 The people of the United States are doing their part to bring down the high cost of living, and it is up to Congress and state leg islatures to come across and put the peoples business on the sa me hard pan basis.
 And while the reforming is go- ing on, it might Just as well in clude a simplification of the tax re- turn system, so that an individual receiving s1,76549 in wages, and paying $2,4s5.07 for living expenses, does not have to employ 1S law yers, four certified public account ants, and couple of professors of higher mathematics for 30 days or more every year to make out his tax return.
 Our taxes are previously exces- sive. and yet the real burden of the Americans complaint is the ridicu- lous complexity of the method of collection. The income tax report has taken just about all the joy out of sprin gtinae

 In room with 40 unfortunates he lay fairly we'll He was routed out at 5 O clock and sent to the wood pile.

 The mayor threw his weather-beaten hat on the giass-topped table. dropped into a restful arm chair and remarked to his staff that it was the first really comfortable minute he had had since he entered Wayfarers' lodge last night at 10 o'clock

STILL UNCERTAIN
 ABOUT DOLLAR FEE

 Birmingham Man

Authority of the cit. for taxing each motorist in Birmingham with the excep- ton of those who take out chauffeur Ii cense, fee of $1 in conectoi, with their examination as to qualifications for driv- ing car on the streets of the city will be looked into by Fred G. Moore, city attorney, following protests against the collection of the tax
 Question of the right of the city to with even members of the state tax con- mission puzzled as to the legality of the ordinance This is evidenced in a letter from A. A. Evans. associate member of the board. who had written to Gov ernor Kilby' asking that some ruling on the proposition be obtained.
 Mir. Evans letter follews
 MT. M. B. Parsons, 54o7 Wade avenue,
 Birmingham. Ala.
 Dear Sir:
 Your letter of March addressed to Governor Kilby. has been referred to the state tax commission for reply.
 Tn answer to same, will say sched- ule g of Section s6l of the revenue act of 1919 reads in part as folows:
 The registration fee or license tax herein required to be paid on motor ve- h;cies shall be in lieu of all other priv ilege or license taxes which the state, or any county or municipality thereof might impose, where the motor vehicle is used by the owner for his private use and that of his family; provided that incorporated cities or towns are hereby authorized to collect reasonable license or privilege tax on motor vehicles used for carrying passengers or freight for hire. <. :
 ''In view of this provision of the9law. it is the judgment of the state tax com thority to collect any privilege or license tax wher the motor vehicle is used oy the owner for his private use and that of his family
 If there has been any law passed since the one above quoted which gives cities the right to levy such tax, we are not aware of it, though there may be such, as the state tax commission has nothing to do with city revenue
 Tt is probable that the city officials can show you the authority under which they levy this privilege tax. The legis- lature may have passed some act sub sequent to the passage of the general revenue act of 1919 which gives the city this authority. and if the city is levy ing such a tax, it is doubtless by reason of some such statute. Yours very truly
