Nor is it likely that Congress could be persuaded to tax anything so near to extinction at the hands of reformers as betting. But it would work out very well, and raise a big revenue as it has in Australia. the heart of the income taxation can circles over war-tax and reduction increases. Secre-! tary Mellon favors a radical reduc-| tion of the higher surtax rates on} incomes, in the'belief that this will) increase the revenues by drawing wealth away from investment in tax-exempt state and local bonds.

When she got e_screamed HY waste time in useless “shopping around” when the advertisements lay before you the choicest wares of every progressive merchant in town? Why use needless effort in an endless store-to-store quest when the advertisements enable you to make your choice of the finest merchandise without even leaving your home? Why pay more than you ought when you can stretch your dollar to the elastic limit by taking advantage of the bargains and good buys that are daily advertised in this paper? Why risk dissatisfaction by buying unknown, un- branded goods when you can assure yourself com- plete satisfaction by buying an advertised product, backed by the integrity of a man who spends real money to establish his name and to build up public good-will?
