SOAP MAKERS.
ABSORB TAX

Grocers and druggists Of the
country have been concerned by
the tax recently placed on toilet
soaps. 1t has generally been felt
that a large part of this tax
would have to be absorbed by
the retailer, who would find him
self unable to pass it on to the
consumer.
To these retailers the following
announcement by Lever Brothers
Company came as an oasis in a
desert of worries:
effective the 21st of June,
1892, the Federal Government
imposed a 5 per cent tax on
sales of toilet soaps. We manu-.
facture two of the cOuntry'S
most important and widely used
brandS-Lux Toilet Soap and
LifebuOy Health SOap-bOth
subject to this tax.
Because the strain on the
family pOcketbOOk is already SO
severe, we are anxious to avoid
any advance in O"er-the-cOunter
prices Of our products.
Under these circumstances,
we have determined until fur
ther notice to pay the Federal
sales tax ourselves"

Grandi'S demand that the slate
be wipel clean. Great Britain,
he said, cannot cancel debts due
to her unless the United States
does likewise.

renewal of war debt payments by
Italy, in line with the policy he
outlined yesterday as the ideal
of Premier Benito MusSolini.
