Dear Martha Lee You have been a great
and wonderful help to me. l should like
to hear from some mother who left her
back to them / should like to know how
she existed away from them and what steps
she took to get back TO them. The prodi-
gal sons way is the only way l know of.
l read that daily. Oh how / long to be
home again.
SO you have found your heart? Or
rather, you have gained heart? Sure
ly you did not have one when you
left your babies, or you could not have
gene.
There is only one way to return
with true repentance in your heart
and a prayer that your repentance will
be understood.

Darling of the MoDies
Condemns Curling Iron

Mary Pickford, whose pretty curly

that she has never used the curling iron.
She fails to see the wisdom Of burning
the life out OF the hair
That the heated iron is ruinous to

ment Of torture in favor of plain liquid
silmerine- This is not only harmless
but Is really beneficial TO the hair. In
stead OF giving ones tresses a burnt

bright lustre, and the curliness looks al
together natural. 1t is a simple thing

Girls! Try this! When combing and
dressing your hair. just moisten your
nair brush with a little ''Danderine"
and brush it through your hair. The
effect is startling, You can do your
hair up Immediately and it will appear
twice as thick and heavy-a mass of
gleamy hair, sparkling with life and
possessing that incompatible softness,
freshness and luxuriance.
While beautifying the hair 'Dander-
inc" is also toning and stimulating
each single hair to grow thick, long
and strong. Hair stops falling out and
dandruff disappears. Get a bottle of
delightful, refreshing "Danderine" at
any drug or toilet counter and just
see how healthy and youthful your
hair becomes.-Advertisem

Cold Storage SAVINGS.

Cold storage systems have revolt
tionized the provision trade and the
element of waste deplorable in by
gone days has largely been eliminated
In Britain there is something like
twenty-five million cubic feet of cold
storage space available, and it is said
that twenty million eggs and one hun
dred and fifty thousand tons of meat
may be found In cold storage in Lon
don alone. But eggs and meat are not
the only items which are commonly
kept in cold storage for longer or
briefer periods. Fabrics of all kinds,
furs and silks, are kept there. Then
vegetables and flowers are kept in
cold storage. Flowers and fruit can
be brought from Canada. Australia
and New Zealand in refrigerating
chambers.

Secretary Mellon has maintained
from the first that the masses of wage
and salary earners who pay income
taxes will benefit from a reduction
o. the surfaces.
Position of Republican Party.
The position OF the Republican
party on this matter is shown by what
the Republican national committee has
Just had to say on the subject:
"The Democratic tax plan would
,ntinue to drive men of wealth to
invest their capital In non-taxable Sc
curities and thereby diminish the
taxes which men of wealth pay the
federal government. The Mellon tax
plen reduces the surtax rate to a point
where men of wealth would find 1t
more profitable TO invest their money
In industry, business and other profit
able enterprises and pay taxes on the
profits they make at the surtax rate
fixed by the Mellon plan, than they
would TO invest their money In tax
exempt securities"
The Democrats combat this view and
so prominent a Democrat and financier
as William G. McAdoo, one time Sec
rotary of the treasury, has declared
the Republican argument ''is all bunk.
The desire of the Republican leader
OF the house of representatives
Nicholas Longworth. is to effect COM
promise on the surtax rate matter
which will bring to his support those
Republicans who believe that the sur
tex should remain where 1t is at
90 per cent figure rather than be re-
duced to the % per cent figure asked
by Mr.. Mellon.
The Democrats in their plan have
agreed upon a A per cent figure for
the surtaxes. If the Republican
leader can effect the compromise that
he wishes it Is believed that the final
surtax figures will be 80 or 81 per
cent.
Arguing Against a Deficit.
One of the Republican arguments Is
that the present tax law together with
the tariff law as It exists provides
enough money to meet the operative
costs of the government and to admit
surplus of over S35O.OOO,OOO. This
surplus. they say. could be used to
pay off the public debt at faster~rate
than is now the case. but they add 1t
also could be squandered in appropria-
tons. The Republican declaration is
that the policy of the administration Is
TO do neither of the two things. at
proposes to reduce the taxes sufficient
ly to eliminate the surplus" But"
+ is added, sit is apparent that taxes
carnot be reduced in the aggregate
more than the existing surplus, else
there will be a deficit 1t is not
economy, it is not even common sense,
TO propose a tax reduction program
which on the face of it Immediately
will produce a national deficit"
The Democrats in congress are meet
ing such statements as this with their
own arguments in rebuttal. They
maintain that the taxes can be re-
duced S623.00O,0oO without injury to
surplus or anything else. 1t will take
a good while for any tax reduction bill
to prove whether it will work i'll or
good to the country. Therefore it
seems to be certain that during the
coming campaign all that can be said
for or against the effect of any tax
legislation must largely be in the ma
ture of surmise.
