For time mounting employment
and payrolls seemed to be causing

Starting September l, whacking
payroll deductions were begun.
Says Donald Gordon, head of the
Wartime Prices and Trade Board ;
"We are going on iron rations."
With a smaller per capita ma
tional income and industrial equip
ment, the Dominions war effort has
in many respects been put on more
intensified basis than in the United
States.
Canada is now raising about one
half its current outgo with taxes.
For some time the Dominion has
had a general s per cent sales tax.
The payroll deductions include a
fair proportion to be paid back after
the war. In other words, they are
not all taxes. Part is forced saw

Contrasted With Z. S.
In contrast. current ideas in
Washington indicate tax bill which
will meet about one-third the outgo
for war from revenues, compared
with Canada's one-half.
The latest version of the tax bill,
as approved by the Senate Finance
Committee, adopts the principle of
payroll deductions and forced saw
ings in comparatively limited way.
The committee has rejected Treas
ury proposal for tax on spending,
as we'll as sales tax proposals from
other sources. 1t appears that the
Washington tax program will leave
a much larger proportion of national
income untouched than Canada
does.
How steep is Canadian taxation?

plication, but the present Canadian

Vitamins and Health.


Many diseases are caused by vita
min shortage in the diet. Pellagra
scurvy and rickets are starvation
diseases. Some cases of heart trouble
and arthritis may be caused by vita
min shortage.
Vitamin A Important.
A shortage of vitamin A in the
diet weakens eyesight and increases
night blindness. To make their eyes
stronger for night flying, British avi-
ators are fed vitamin A rich diets.
Many American boys are being turned
down by the army because of poor
eyesight-many of them doubtless
because they didn't have enough vita
min A in their food.
Better Soil Means More Vitamins
for American Diets.
Five times as much vitamin A was
found in milk from cows fed on a
good grade of alfalfa hay as was
contained in milk of cows fed on a
poor grade of timothy hay. Often
worn-out land won't grow alfalfa
until it's been built up with lime and
phosphate. AAA practices help farm
ers build up their pastures so they
can feed more cows, produce more
and better milk. That's how con-
servation practices put more vita
minis in American diets.
Good soil makes more and better
food. Nourishing qualities of food
