WASHINGTON (AP) Tn tiimu of internal revenue
warned retailor today that tt la a criminal offraa, eubjeet te
fine and Imprisonment, to Increase price of taxable merchan
dise held In stock prior to June at, when th now manufac
turers' excise taxes went Into effect.
Anyone who thus takes advantage of the competitive situs ,
tlon arising out of the Imposition of the new taxee I liable to
a fine of 11000 or by Imprisonment of not more than on year,
or both. , ,
THIS is a sensible provision. There should be no profiteering
allowed as a result of the "depresslop" taxes.
But apparently the provisions of the Revenue Act of 1932
do not go far enough. We note by the announcement of the
California-Oregon Power company that the 3 percent tax on
payments of electrical energy for domestic use( MUST BE PAID
BY THE CONSUMER. i
Obviously the oost of producing this eleotrical energy has
not increased since this tax was imposed. But the tax results
in a rate increase of 3 percent to the customer.
0 O O .0 0 5
IN other words the consumer must shoulder the entire tax,
while the producer escapes the tsx entirely.
This is neither fair nor just. At the worst the consumer
should be given an even break, and the tax shared equally by
the power company and its customers. .
We have an idea if the power companies SO REQUESTED,
the bureau of internal revenue, or Congress, would allow them
to assume the entire tax. This would cost the power companies
some money, but it would be a good investment, paying tre
mendous dividends in good will and increased friendliness
toward the public utilities! .
"Hold It"
t IJOLD IT I" That is our plea to the nationa of Europe. If
they can only sustain the spirit of conciliation- and
mutual help, which brought about yesterday 'a settlement of war
debts and reparations, then the miracle most of us despaired of
ever seeing, may indeed come true. ,
When thia epoch-making meeting adjourned, and Premier
Herriot of France emerged, he met a French and a German girl.
He embraced one, then the other, and on their respective cheeks,
imprinted a resounding smack.
"HOLD IT!"
THAT'S all Europe needs to do. Just cling to thia new spirit
like a buldog to a bone, and the slough of despond, which
has held the old world in its grip so many years, will fade away
like morning mists before the noon day sun. 1
It's really a simple thing. No change in material conditions
is required. Merely a change in spirit, a different ATTITUDE
OF MIND.
OCARNO marked the birth of. that spirit. Then it died,
and the WBr, only one phase of which ended at the
armistice, was renewed. Yesterday at Lausanne, that spirit
was reborn, thanks to the auperior abilities of that great politi
cal obstetrician, Ramsay McDonald.
So don't let the infant die this time. KEEP IT ALIVE!
Crush that atmosphere of hatred and fear and auspieion, in
whioh experience has so tragically shown it can not live.
Slap down the ears of every politician, who tries to return to
the status quo anteto the spirit of 1914.
Do that and not only the old world but the new will have
a new birth of freedom, of hope, seeurity and eventually of
prosperity. ' '

The Wet-Dry Miracle
QPEAKING of miraoles who doubts tbem after viewing the

Who would have believed it POSSIBLE, a month ago, that
they would witness a mad atampede for the wringing-wet band

Nebraska, Senator Shepherd of Texas, and Oswald West of
Oregon!
Such a prediction early in June would have brought either a
loud and long horselaugh, or a hurry call to the atraight-jacket
squad.
IMAGINE Senator Norris, dry by principle and conviction
for at least two decades. Senator Shepherd, co-author of
the Prohibition law and so dry four years ago he wouldn't even
speak to Al Smith. And last but not least, our own Os West,
who through drought and deluge sunshine and storm, has nailed
the white banner of Bryanesque prohibition to the masthead,
and preferred political oblivion to one drop of conciliation with
Demon Rum. '
There they are, a little out of breath perhaps, but sitting
up proudly shoulder to shoulder with Al Smith, the Tammany

This is the world's big news

France and Germany have
reached an agreement about
debts and reparations. After
1935, which gives them three
years to get ready, Germany
will issue bonds for three bil

hundred and fifty million dol
lars. The bonds will be issued
at 90 and come due in thirty
seven, years, amortized at the
rate of one per cent a year.
, When the news was publish

A L1ITTLE LESSON IN PHV8I0L00 V FOR VICTIMS OF THE ATJTOIN
- TOXICAN OBSESSION.
There ar no eensory nerves In th
colon (large Intestine) snd hence
there is no sensstlon there. The time
required for food
to psss entirely
thru the alimen
tary tract Is
about 33 hours,
tho tome foods
may complete

10 houra In a
normal per son.
Ths- control or
regulation of the
entire process of
digestion from
the time the food J swallowed till Its
residue Is evacuated la automatic,
that Is, under the unconscious, sym
pathetic, Involuntary nervoua system.
These automatic functions, such as
the besting of the heart, the breath
ing, and the various stsges of diges
tion, are always better performed If
one keeps one's mind off from them,
or better, If one's mind Is occupied
with pleasant thought,
The desire thst tells a normal per
son It Is time to evacuate Is' a "muscle
sense" produced by distension of the
terminal part of the alimentary tube.
It Is a crude, a ludicrous notion thst
the colon is a "sewer which should be
kept flushed out." The physiologists
have found that nothing of conse
quence Is absorbed from the colon ex
cept water much water is sbsorbed
from the contents of the colon into
the blood. Curlosly enough practically
no water la absorbed from the con
tents of the stomach. When much
water is taken into the stomach al
most all of It quickly passes on Into
the intestine, where some of It Is ab
sorbed from the email intestine, and
more from the large intestine. I am
speaking now of normal conditions.
A little sub-station of the auto
matic or "sympsthetict nervous sys
tem, in the abdomen, is called Auer
bach's plexus, and this has been
dubbed the "brain of the intestine"
by Professor Carlson, a distinguished
physiologist. It is a brain much older
and better organized than that of
man, says Dr. Horace W. Soper, St.
Louis internist, yet man lightly in

With the passing of time our popu

Individuate and sources which were

To some of them peace, or w,hat

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERRS
Gasollna for Ringworm.
An extraordinary number of re
ports have been received -from our
reader who have found -the auggea
tlon of Dr. J. R. Crawford highly sat
isfactory. Dr. Crawford observed that
ordinary gasolln (not ethyl) give
lnstsntaneou relief to the itching
and lasting cures in many cases at
"athlete's foot," ringworm, trlcopny
tosls, fungus foot itch. He advises
immersion of th foot for six or
eight seconds In gasoline. This may
be repeated dally for several days If
necessary.
Herolo Treatment.
Tell your correspondent with the
ganglion or weeping el new on his
wrist to clench the fist tightly snd
then have some one give the 'lump
several sharp rape with ths knuck
les. It will hurt plenty, but the gang
lion will disappear. At lesst mine did

broken like that. (Mrs. C. B.)
Answer. I can't do it. I kept my
own ganglion a good 10 years rather
than try that treatment on it. Pin

treatment.
Rabies. ' '
We would appreciate an article
from you proving your statement
that rabies Is ths same a blood poi
soning. We would also like to have
your reasons for not believing the
Pasteur treatment a cure for rabies.
(Health Instruction Class, -High
School.)
Answer. I mad no such state
ment. I think the occurrence of rab
ies in man la scientifically doubtful.
Pasteur treatment la Ineffective ss
treatment, tho it may bo effective at
a preventive If administered before
the Illness begins. I surmise that fa
talities In persona presumed to have
rabies are really due to tetanus
(lockjaw). The cause of rablea (In
animals) hss not been scientifically
determined. Pathologist sometimes
differ In their opinions whether the
so-called negrl bodlea ar present in
the brain tissue examined. No one
has proved that th negrl bodies ar
or contain th cauaatlv 'agent of
rabies. It la alt a 'matter of opinion.
If I war bltton by a presumably
rabid dog I should want to receive
the Pasteur treatment If my doctor
advised It. Likewise I'd give any one
so bitten th benefit of th doubt.

WASTE OF WATER
Th) following statement hu been
luued by the city water commission:
"Due to the extravagant waste of
water thia summer and the violation
of the regulations that have been es
tablished to safeguard the water sys
tem, the Water Commissioners are
again Issuing a warning to the water
users. This time they are determined
to be more severe with violators.
"The results snd evils of these vio
lations are briefly outlined below:
"Open hoses reduce the pressure
over the whole system and more par
tloutarly kill the pressure of the
neighbors of the one using the open
hose so a noxzlfl is required on all
hoses.
"Water wasting down the side
walks and gutters not only taxes the
capacity of the water system but alo
necessitates1 larger sewerage disposal
facilities.
"Pallure to shut off the water dur
ing a fire does not give the Fire De
partment sufficient pressure to auc
oeasfully combat a large blaze.
The Water Commissioners point
out that these rules are simple and
easy to comply with but that they
are fundamentally necessary and
must be obeyed.
