CARE OF EAR IS DISCUSSED
 IN RED CROSS HEALTH HINTS

turbancc oarache should always be thought of
 Sometimes the dropping of some warm oil or glycerine into the ear will relieve the pain. If this is not successful consult your physician as often much harm is done through experimenting and often total deaf. ness may result from lack of proper care.
 Care should be exercised in wash ing out the ears with the syringe, as too much force may be used and If there is any discharge it might be forced back intos the mastold pro. cess. 4
 Never usc hairpins or sharp point ed instruments of any kind in the ears to remove wax. as there is danger of injurlng the drum. In re- moving wax nothing should be used except the finger over which should bc placed a towel CT handkerchief. Even then caution should be used not to crowd tho finger into the ear, but wipe the ear gently.
 Never allow discharglng ear to go without consulting physician This is a serious condition and un less cared for permanent deafness often results.

NEW TAXES IN TURKEY AROUSE
 MUCH CRITICISM

CONSTANTINOPLE, tune S.-(By Associated Press. .)-The Grand Ma tional Assembly sits in its capital at Angora, barred from contact with the outside world, almost inaccessible even to foreign diplomats whose in- tercourse must be through the me dium of Dr. Adnan Bey, it's repre- sentative in Constantinople. The government thus lives in an atmos- phere of it's own creation, unaffected by foreign comment on it's actions, and to this condition is attributed some recent governmental actions which have aroused measurable de- gree of foreign criticism.
 Until recently tho duty on flour into Turkey was one per cont. On March 1 the rate was advanced to , per cent, and made retroactive on all stocks still in warehouse and which had paid the old dHty of 1 per cent. It is recognized that the ques- tion of this duty is clearly a mat ter of internal administration, and it is accepted as such; only with the retroactive aspect have foreigners found fault
 A decree has been issued increas s. ing the income tax five fold. and to include foreigners, and retroactive to the date of the foreigners arrival in Turkey.
 Another law increases the eonsump- tioon tax on a certain fat product from 5 to 80 piasters, and il affects large stocks at present in transit contracted for when the levy was only five piasters.
 In local business circles these awk- ward and unusual proceedings are ascribed largely to the ignorance of popular government as yet unused to the intricacies of economic legiis- lation. It is felt that the deputies do not realize the far reaching eff fects of such measures. nor their reaction in Western lands.
