DAYLIGHT BANDIT | MAKES 00D HAUL Highwayman Holds Up Frank Riesenberg with Gun and Lashes Him to Chair. THAN RIFLES CASH REGISTER W. Riesenberg, who conducts a store at 2806 Sherman avenue, left his 19-year-old son, Frank, in charge | while he went out for a short visit | yesterday morning. 1 Shortly after Mr. Riesenberg de- parted a lone man entered the Mnre‘» and asked permission to use the tel- phone. Frank granted the request | and piloted the man to the rear end | of the store, where the telephone is located. | Immediately the man turned on the | young chap, pointed a revolver at him and ordered “hands up.” Frank complied whereupon the bandit took a rope from his pocket and bound young Riesenberg hand and foot to a chalr, after which the holdup robbed the young man of §250 and then stole $75 from the cash register before escaping out of the rear door. Young Riesenberg, still bound hand and foot, managed to hobble the chair across the store, out the door and up the sidewalk to a position in front of the grocery store owned by H. Rachman. Rachman's attention was attracted and he released the bound lad. The police were notified and a good description of the man furnished.

Mary's Avenue Congregational church visited the Child's Saving institute Friday aftemoon, gave an entertainment and served refresh- mets to children and employes. Girlg of the several clubs of the Com- mercial High school and thelr teach- ers visited the institute the same after- Omaha druggists have generally united in the protest that is being ralsed against the war tax on tooth paste. The reasons for this are set out in the fol- lowing statement, which is signed by many of the leading drugsists of the city At the forthcoming session of congress, we are informed that an effort will be made by the Treasury department to continue for another year the gross in- justice done to the druggists and people of the United States by again placing tooth paste on the list of “‘luxuries” sub Ject to the emergency war tax. While automoblles and other acknowl- edged luxuries In which only the rich are able to indulge, have to date been exempt from the application of this war tax, it seems absurd—to say nothing about it being unfair—to make tooth paste—the everyday necessity of the masses of the people—pay this tax. With so many richer sources of revenue avallable it seems to us economically unsound to be taking the pennies of the masses to make up the deficiency in the national income caused by the forelgn war, when it is possible to secure many times that amount by taxing those who are making untold millions out of that war. We submit that instead of taxing tooth paste and tollet preparations which con- tribute to human cleanliness, human com- fort and human health, the tax ought properly to be pald by thoss who are making inordinate profits out of the manufacture of munitions and other war supplies—including automobiles. This would give the governmnet all the revenue it needs for its current expenses and place the tax where it would cause the least burden to those taxed. In view of the extraordinary protection and backing given by the government to those engaged in making money out of the war, it would appear to us to be but fair that the beneficiaries of this protection and backing should be willing to contribute, in the form of a tax on War exports, a reasonable amount of their great profits to help out the gov- ernment until normal conditions are re- turned. Surely they are better able to do it than the mass of the people and the small retaller whose income—in many instances—has been serfously curtaled as & result of the war. When the tax was extended to tooth paste, it was explained that it would be only for one year. Now, however, the Treasury department proposes to con- tinue it for another year, perhaps perma- nently, if congress sarctions the injus- tice. No tax has been imposed on hand soap or bath soap. Yet every board of health in the coun- United THE Omaha Druggists Protest Against War Tax Levied On Tooth Paste| try, every institution organised to con serve public health, every physician, every dentist, assures us that tooth clean- liness is more essential to human health than body cleanliness Koeping in mind all the diseases that originate in the mouth—diphtheria, scar- lot fever, measles, mumps, pneumonia, tuberoulos rheumatism, indigestion, in- testinal and stomach troubles, pyorrhea, ete.~it would seem to us that if there is any part of the human body where should be encouraged, it cleanliness | In the mouth and teeth. In recognition of this, the achool au- thorities of practically every city in the Statea are today enforcing the use of the tooth brush among the chil dren under their control The government Itself—in the army and navy—makes clean teeth mandatory. the war tax, the Treasury department is putting a penalty on human cleanii- ness. It s not only charging a tax for the privilege of keeping ones self orally clean, but for the priviege of protecting ones self from the inroads of insidious dis- eases. Does this not seem incompatible with the best interests of the community and is it not most unjust to the great mass of the people whose principal asset Is thelr health? We ask the public to think seriously of this, for ultimately the great mass of the people must pay the tax In some forceful way they should im- press upon congress through our own rep- resentative that a continuation of the tax on tooth paste ls unfair and unjust. They should write to our representa- urging him to vote against this tax and to enlist the support of his fellow oon- gressmen in defeating it There are plenty of other means of raising revenue without taxing human cleanliness and human health. Without any trouble—if it chooses to do so—the congress can find these means, We urge the people of this community to ask congress to find them—and exempt tooth paste Shermann & McConnell Drug Co., per Bherman.
