AMERICANS PAY LESS

Washington was either terrifying income taxpayers
against the inevitable shock Of March Is or trying to
anaestheze them for this annual extraction when it
compiled and made public tabulated statement show
ing that major nation Of the world pays 50 small
percentage Of its income for the support Of
national state and municipal-as the United States
Americans, according to the survey, pay 1912 per cent
Of their income to their government compared with an
average for Europe Of 1873 per cent But this does not
tell the whole story Not only do Americans pay out
less in taxes but their per capita income greater be-
ing three and onehalf that of German or Frenchman
and twice Is great IS that Of IN Engshman
Triumphs Of economy and efficiency have boosted
American wages and salaries and reduced the cost Of
government. Lacking these trumphs, other countries
are paying higher taxes lower wages The heaviest
mpost in sroaning Europe is the income tax which has
been made extremely Tight in the United States for
sons of small incomes Approximately 100000 tax
abes Of 1924 are wholly exempt from tax on i'm
comes
It il to be hoped that these consoling figures from
Washington win not encourage further spending and
borrowing by state and municipal governments Their
operating cost b out Of proportion to the cost Of
thu fsfai government, which is being held up to the
lesser political divisions model Of thriftineas

Does your boy have hobby
When you are wanting him to prac-
tice on his violin is he sneaking off
to the garage or the attic to make
things out of wood and old hinges
and knobs?
Last summer when you were try
ing to get him at his Latin that he
had to make up before the fall term,
was he out in the woods? Does he
bring everything home from snakes
to. groundhogs for you to bed and
board?
A parent usually can tell the diff
ference between u short Lived notion
and a real hobby. "A boy may tire of
his carpenter work after a week or
two and look for other diversions.
But: if he keeps at it, shows real
affinity for construction. and fin
ishes one job only to begin another,
then you may be pretty sure that in
his case it is more than d passing

practice on the hated violin.
The Other Side
Or the reverse may be the case.
He may be begging you to buy him
a violin instead of a hammer.
Most boys love to wander in the
woods in the summer, but / know
one boy who kept at it consistently
from the time he could 60 out alone.
He would start out at the first
spring thaw and long after the
frost had cracked the chestnuts he
kept up his excursions to the woods.

They had great things planned
ahead. He was to be a lawyer as.
his father and grandfather had been

the show-window exhibitions of the
town (for the merchants were al
ways eager to display a pair of owls
or some young groundhogs or sa-
lamander provided by the young
Thoreau). Their faces were set to-
ward the Court House!
The Real Result
But persistence won in the long

MORE "MOTHER'S LOVE-
BY WIN. E. GILROY.. b. D.
editor of The COnRregationalist)

There is a story of . .Bavarian
peasant who bought an alarm clock
to help him get up early in the
morning, but instead Of sleeping
peacefully, trusting the alarm clock
to waken him, he became almost q
nervous wreck lying awake and lis
tening for the alarm clock to strike.
1t seems an absurd story but, /
believe, it has been told from actual
life; and whether or not it be true
concerning the peasant and the
alarm clock, it. illustrates exactly
what takes place with many people
in relation to Gods Providence and
the promise Of peace.
The sacred writer Of old repre-
sented God as saying; II will keep
him in perfect peace whose mind
is stayed on Me-. It is said that the
great statesman William Ewart
Gladstone Ind made this his life
motto, and that it was the secret Of
his calm and stability through the
long years Of his political career,
much Of which was in the midst Of
rivalry and struggle.

| is apparent rather than real. We
pray for guidance. We pray for
peace. And then we take ali into
our own hands and worry as if we
had no confidence whatever in God.
Perhaps our distrust is born Of some
deeper anxiety, the fear lest the
Providence Of God may lead us in
ways that are not easy and pleas
ant. But how can there be peace
when our lives are marked by fear
and distrust
Il We could only have confidence!
i we could only stay our minds On
God, We should realize the fulfill
ment Of His promise!

TO be like the peasant lying awake

/ DON'T LIKE IT
The company gives forth the story
as tribute to modern morals and
righteous womanhood. Somehow
find it more discouraging and rather
unworthy Of modern womanhood. It
sounds like straining at a gnat, a
deliberate search for evil when
beauty is offered one. It's nasty
niceness and the sort of pettiness
which scourges too many human be-
ings.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Abscess OF Bladder


Question: r. o. asks: what are
the causes and symptoms Of abscess
of the bladder? And what can be
done for this trouble? Is It the same
as cystitis?"
Answer: CyStitis means inflam-
nation of the bladder and Of course
this Is always present when there is
an abscess. The symptoms may be
very much the same, but II the absceSs
is discharging there will be large
quantities Of pus voided with the
urine. The systematic treatment
would be much the same, that Il, to
cut down the amount Of irritating
toxins in the urine but, of course,
any local treatment would depend
upon a correct diagnosis.

injurious home brew is? My husband

three quarts each night, and has been
doing this for five years. He says
it would have affected him before

Answer: Some people can stand
more than others but am sure that
three quarts daily Of any kind Of
beer will finally prove injurious to
anyone. Perhaps your husband would
prefer living dangerously, but you'd
better be sure to keep his life insur-
ance premiums paid.
Not Enough Acid
Question:: Mrs. f. j. B. asks: what
can be done for stomach which has
no acid?"

help in restoring the stomach to its
normal tone SO that 1t can again
secrete gastric juice containing the
normal amount Of hydrochloric acid.

associate the dentists office with
pleasure rather than pain.
Wonder what the dentists think of
this propaganda and just how much
more terrific our own dentist bills
will be to make up for these sew

can be touched.
One sometimes wonders, too, if
this new policy of sparing the child
