even so, it was exasperating to be cold

Fhnging her hat and coat petulantly

Politely he cut in and moved on with
her.

himself. IT promised myself at least

Another delighted parent, Mrs. L. S.

These, of course, are only two individual
experiences. Naturally, we do not predict
that similar results will occur in every case
where Ovaltine is given. But we have re-
ceived 30 many letters similar to the above,
that we believe a fair trial Of Ovaltine is

NESl There is now a simple way that's
helping to make thousands of "poor
eaters" EAT! Not just a way to "tempt the
taste" But way that actually helps nature
create the natural sensation of hunger
strong desire to eat.
Mothers everywhere report surprising re-
suits. They say their children now eat with
out fussing, coaxing or forcing. And actually
ask for such healthful foods as vegetables
and milk which they wouldn't touch" before.
Ovaltine was originally created in Switzer-
land, and is now made over here. You simply
give it mixed with milk-either hot or cold
and children love its delicious taste.
What Mothers Report
Thousands of letters are regularly received
from mothers telling how heartily their chill
dren have commenced to eat since Ovaltine
was added to their regular daily diets.
For example, Mr.. Edward w. Kuhn, $50

Error in Tax Bill
Claimed by Lawyer
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

XXTASHINCiTON, May 16-Although the new tax
w bill passed by the House is aimed at undS-
trbuted SURPRISES and is supposed to exempt from
taxation corporation which pays out all of it's
earnings in dividends, one tax lawyer has worked
out an example which he believes proves that the
bill fails to do that
He shows that a corporation. Which pays out
its entire earnings of 81 100000 ii dividends might
still have to pay tax of 225a per cent on 1915 900
of those dividends
That is the corporation, having paid out all of
its earnings, would have 10 dip into its capital to
meet taxes Such a situation would arise when part
OF the corporations sUock-more than so per cent
was owned by another corporation Dividends paid
to such corporate stakeholder could not be charged
off a credit for distributed income as the bill
stands,
This lawyer goes on to say that such case
could be taken into court on a ground of unconsti-
nationality.
He believes that the tax-paying corporation and
its individual stockholders could claim dscrmina-
ton under the due process clause both being pen
allied by the uncomfortable circumstance that third
party-a corporation-had gathered up a block of
stock in the company, possibly without their prior
knowledge consent.

Little Development Since 1900

OUTSIDE of few conspicuously good prison
~ schools there has been little development Of
prison education since 1900 Nor has much progress
been made in providing better and more varied read
Ing material. The introduction of radios moving
pictures and daily newspapers may be humane and
enlightened but they do little to prepare the prisoner
to live a better life when released.
Most OF the progress in the last third of century
bo1ls down to the removal of certain barbaries like
the ocksep the shaved head and prison stripes and
the granting of personal privileges to convicts. This
is all to the good but it does not mean any impor-
tant addition to reformatve technique.
Dr. Simpson suggests that the thing to do is to
put more guards prison walls to protect the out
side public from any chance of jail break and then
appoint prison administrators both fitted and IN
cllned to make radical and farreaching experiments
with Informative methods within the walls.

Serious complaints have come
up from sections of the South
concerning alleged maladminiS-
tration by some political Resettle-
ment officials representing the
plantation-o owner class, in rela-
tions with tenant farmers and
share choppers. Resettlement says
the charges are exaggerated.
1t is clear. however, that neigh
bors sometimes are bitter when
man is really rehabilitated with
government aid and that this
phase of human nature becomes
more serious when complicated by
racial feeling.
In the East there has been
some trouble with tight-fisted
local supervisors who consider it
sinful for a farmer to be broke.
Local administration, good or
bad, plays a large part in the
success or failure of the RIA pro-

ID ESETTLEMENT took over
IN from FCA the farm debt
adjustment program. with an ad-
ministrative fund of 100000.
This program has permanent
personnel of 229 and a voluntary
force of 10000 members of state
and county farm debt adjustment
committees.
The object is to help debt
burdened farmers by bringing
debtor and creditor together and
making it easier on the debtor.
Lately this program has resulted
in more than 5000 debt adjust
ments month. with the monthly
amount of debt reduction about
$3,OOO,0Oo.
Still another phase of Resettle-
ment's wrok is it's loans to and
supervision of co-operatives.
On subsistence homesteads, six
loans of from $250,000 to $550000
have been made to cooperative
agricultural producing associa-
tions. Purposes must be of self
liquidating character, such as
farm operations, greenhouses.
trading-posts, poultry and hog
projects. and dairy farms.
Loans are made sometimes to
individuals, as in the case of buy
ing a pure-bred bull for commu-
nifty use.
