WAR CLOUDS
FORETELL NEW TAXES

War drums rumbling across the
world brought sharp reminder from
consumer organization today Of the
tax burden caused by the last war and
n warning of disasters that lie ahead.
In an ananlysis of tax trends pre-
pared for its consumer members, the
National Consumers Tax Commission
emphasized the toll of war beyond the
immediate, direct cost in human lives
and suffering. s.
The commission declared that the
world war, even before the entry Of the
United States, started trend in taxa
ton in this country that has dealt in
lcreasingly heavy blows TO consumers
and their shrinking budgets.
1t stated that the trend has grown
until local, state and national taxes
EtwO-thirds of which are hidden to the
consumers who ultimately pay them
now take an estimated % cents from
every income dollar.
The commissions analysis, made
public in Chicago, came as wars ragged
in Spain and in the far east, and as
central Europe remained d smOuldering
powder keg.
Until fighting began in Europe in
the midsummer of 1914 and necessi-
tated a revision of our own tax laws
| to make up the decline i'm revenue,
nearly all federal taxes had been dir
ect," the analysis declared.
Revenue had been raised through
customs duties, income taxes and taxes
Ola distilled spirits and tObaocOs.
Then, on Oct %, 1914, the 'emer-
gency revenue law was passed. 1t inn
posed special taxes on some business
men, on amusements, transportation,
telephone and telegraph messages, in
surance premiums, perfumes, cosmetics
| and chewing gum. As the war i'm Eur
Ope spread, we sought more and more
| revenue. The revenue act OF Sept. 3,
1915, levied additional excise taxes.
On fateful April d, 1917, our cOun-
TRY entered the conflict.
| six months Later, the war revenue
| act of Oct 3 increased income tax
rates, levied a war excess profits tax.
and expanded internal revenue and ex
else taxes-taxes paid by consumers.
"A fiye-cent levy went ON telegraph
aud telephone messages and a three To
10 per cent levy on freight and trans
portation fares. Automobiles. trucks,
musical instruments. cameras and 9th
err articles were now taxed. ~;
I'm the early part Of 1919, these
consumer taxes were multiplied TO Gov
or such things as shirts, shoes, stock
ings, hats, ties, nightgOwns, kimOnas,
rugs, carpets.
This hidden tax trend, starting with
the world war, has gone on and on
Consumers now pay hidden taxes on
Everything they buy-taxes in the form
of higher prices.
| Consequently, food. clothing. tObac-
co, liquor. processing and other excise
tax revenue jumped from $50 million
dollars i'm 1915 10 1882 millions in 1895.
The staggering cost of war played
a prominent part in piling up this
huge tax burden. The Carnegie EndOw-
ment for International Peace has esti-
mated that the world war cost adj ma
tions-directly and indirectly grand
total of 337 billion dollars"

GETTING RID OF STAINS.

Stains from argyrol and nose drops,
which frequently get on the bed linen
during an epidemic of colds, can be re-
moved if given the right treatment.
The sooner you go after them, the more
chance you have of getting them all
cut, however.
Argyrol makes a dirty looking dark
stain. Three chemicals are necessary
to get it out-Iodine, hypo photograph
ic chemicaD and household ammonia.
Moisten the stained fabric in clear
water. Drop a few drops of iodine on
argyrol stain, allow to stand a few
minutes. While it is standing, put a
little hypo in a cheesecloth bag and dip
the bag in a dilute solution Of ammonia
q tbsp. to l cup water. Now daub
the moistened bag Of hypo on the
iodine stain until all the color dis
appears. The argyrol and the iodine
will fade out together.
Nose drops look like ordinary grease
spots but are not removed in the same
way. Dip the stained material in
water, apply few drops of 20 per cent
solution, work into spot and then rinse
in water.

THE LAUNDRY CENTER.

In modern house planning emphasis
is laid on compact laundry center with
modern equipment adapted to the needs
of the family.
The laundry center is planned about
the stationery tubs and washers which
are placed in relation to water supply
and drains. Too, the location of the
laundry center is determined by various
factors such as climate, the size of the
house, and activities of the household.
A separate laundry room adjoining the
kitchen is becoming increasingly popu-
lar in urban and rural homes. In rural
homes this laundry room may also
serve as a Mushroom. In such a dual
purpose room, strict attention should
be given to arrangement of laundry
equipment and to facilities for washing,
changing work-clothes, and hanging
wraps.
Good daylight is necessary, and tubs
should be placed so that the light on
them is adequate and does not produce
a glare in the eyes of the worker. 1t is
often desirable to set tubs at right
angles to the windows instead of against
the wall beneath the windows.
Proper ventilation must be provided
by door and windows. Walls should be
light and finished in such way that they
will not be affected by steam.
A laundry floor should be of material
that wears well, is comfortable to stand
on, and cleans easily. Linoleum
cemented to wood or concrete floors is
satisfactory. Rubber mats or low
wooden platforms are a safety pro-
lection when electrical devices are used.
Arrange laundry equipment to save
steps and to permit the work to proceed
in order. A sorting table near the en-
trance of the laundry and near the tubs
and washing machine starts the wash

FINANCES ARE A
FAMILY AFFAIR.

Last year, an Eastern farm woman to
whom I was talking said some things
which impressed me very forcibly:
There are SO many demands upon
our pocketbookS these days that it takes
very careful figuring to make our money
go around. Our farm incomes are di-
vided into three parts: One for the
farms operating expenses, one for our
family living and our savings, and the
third for our debts. If our husbands
don't plan carefully, the part of the in
come they use to run the farm will take
money that should go for family living
and to pay debts. If We as wives don't
do our share toward managing our
household expenses, we will be using
money that should go for the farm end
of the business and meeting our obi
cations.
This means we should talk things
over together as a family. If, at the
beginning of the year, we get together
to make a business plan for the next y
months, each of us should know what
is expected and we would all work to-
gether with more understanding. We
all ought to know about how much
income the family can expect, what
should go for the farm end of our
business, what must be set aside for
debt repaymentS, and what needs to be
set aside for expenses. If We think we
see a way of getting ahead faster by
borrowing, we will all understand from
the beginning what it is for, how we
are going to pay it back, and when
As co-partners in the management of
the income, we wives should know these
things. Our older children should take
