Sentiment throughout the United
States definitely is growing strong
er against the diversion of automo-
tive tax funds to non-highway pur-
poses.
At the 1888 elections the people
of California, Michigan, and New
Hampshire adopted constitutional
amendments dedicating the rev.
enue from all highway user taxes
exclusively to highway financing.
This makes a total of eight states
(seven of which have adopted con-
stitutional amendments and one
has adopted referendum statu-
tory declaration of policy in which
the people have decided at the polls
to end the unsound and unjust tax
alton policy which shifts an unduly
heavy tax burden upon motorists.
The legislatures of five states at
their 1889 sessions adopted resolu-
tions initi a ting constitutional
amendments against diversion to
be submitted for ratification by the
people. These states are Idaho,

may be rendered: Thou shalt have
no belief of Life as mortal; thou
shalt not know evil, for there is
one Life,-even God, good.

Cigarettes Turn" Into Sawdust

Two would-be "sleight-o hand
artists" now sought by the police,
are said to have the mysterious
ability of turning an ordinary car
ton of cigarettes into a box of saw
dust. The trick, according to an
Elkton storekeeper who related his
experience to the authorities, re-
quires a crisp $40 bill and lack of
change on the part of the mer-
chant. With this set-up the Gus
toner" obligingly says he'll leave
the cigarettes right here on the
counter" to go out for change. The
other then buys two three-cent
postage stamps, which, of course,
takes the storekeeper's attention
off the customers and the cigar
cites Then both walk out Af-
ter waiting long enough, the mer-
chant picks up the cigarettes and
observes, to his astonishment the
carton has been opened and to his
further surprise, that they contain
sawdust.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Colds and related diseases are
estiamted to cost $1,000, 100000 in
time and money in the United Stat
es each winter.
Now is the time for housewives
and mothers to plan their meals
with special attention to vitamin
content. insufficient quantities of
some vitamins as well as poor gen
eral nutrition increase susceptible
ity to colds.
Vitamin A is necessary to keep
the lining of the respiratory pas
sages intact and thus to maintain
the first line of defense against
bacterial invasions. Many people
wait until they already have cold
and then start to take cod liver oil
or some other concentrated source
of vitamin A. 1t is then too late,
as there is no good evidence that
once the bacteria are in the sys-
tenn, increased vitamin A is of any
specific value against them.
The maintaining of the lining of
the respiratory passages helps to
prevent Infection from starting. So
it is in the prevention, not the cure
of colds that vitamin A is effective
Good sources of vitamin A are
cream, butter, whole milk, yellow
cheese, egg yolk, green, yellow, or
red vegetables, and cod liver oil.
One pint of whole milk, three tea
spoons of butter and two servings
of green, yellow, or red vegetables
will supply normal person with
his daily requirement of vitamin A.
Some investigators think that
vitamin c has specific role, at
least in resisting certain infections.
The evidence suggests that there is
an increased requirement for vita
min C in all diseases in which a
fever occurs.
Good sources of vitamin c are
tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit, and
other fresh fruits and vegetables.
All the protective foods milk
and milk products, eggs, fruits,
vegetables, and dark bread or ce-
reals are essential to well-balanc-
ed diet.
Good diet will not cure a cold but
it will go a long way toward keep
ing the body in good condition to

600 Lack Business Permits

The State Tax Department is
preparing to institute legal action
against approximately 600 firms
and individuals who have failed to
obtain mercantile and occupational
licenses for the present fiscal year,
tax officials announced recently.
The preparations are being made
as the result of survey which is
still being conducted by the depart
ment. All of the 600 delinquents
have failed to obtain licenses after
being notified by the department
that they must have them. A to-
tai of 1881 such licenses have been
issued throughout the State so far
this year, or an increase of 762
over the 9,119 issued during the
corresponding period of last year.
In Kent county there have been L.
478 licenses issued this year, as
compared with 1,456 last year.
