. The Oleomargarine Tax " There is a saying to the effect that the best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it. Secretary McAdoo's statement with regard to the oleomargarine tax evasions is interesting,
but not surprising. He says that the government has been defrauded out of $27,000,000. The
department has records extending back as far
as 1902, immediately after the oleomargarine tax
law was passed. Violations have multiplied, and
although the department, by the most vigorous exercise of its powers, ha3 increased its collections during the last two years, "moonshining" continues. No fewer than 6,000 frauds ' have been detected. There have been numerous prosecutions and not a few convictions. Recoveries
by the government amount to about $1,000,000.,
There is prospect, says Mr. McAdoo, for an increase in the amount. . -. . - The oleomargarine law imposes a tax of 10 cents a pound on the colored product, and of a cent, a pound on the uncolored. Frauds have included both kinds, and it is the belief of the revenue collectors that most of the "moonshine" oleomargarine reaches the consumer as "butter." Possibly the most striking sentence in the statement is the following: "Whether the tax on colored oleomargarine is too high is no concern of the treasury in connection with its duty to enforce the law." This is quite true. It is generally believed -though not by the dairy interests that the tax on colored oleomargarine is too high, and thus the law defeats its own ends. It has now been on the books for about a dozen
years, and in that time millions of. dollars in taxes have escaped the collectors. Numbers of man
ufacturers have been sent to prison or fined heavily. But disregard for the law continues. The theory; on which this legislation was based concerned protection of both butter pro
ducer and consumer. It was contended and
with much truth that oleomargarine was often colored and sold as butter, the public being thereby cheated. But the butter supporters went too
far. In their zeal to protect the public, and like
wise the dairy business, they placed the tax too high. Its very size has encouraged evasion. It has increased the profits of illicit manufacture.
It may be that failure to collect the oleomargar
ine tax will influence congress to revise the law, The statute has failed, and it ought to be corrected. Indianapolis News.

A GOOD THING. When It Comes Along Don't Let It Get Away From You.
"1 really feel that It is hardly possible to say too much in favor of GrapeNuts as a health food," writes a Chicago lady. "For 9 or 10 years I had suffered fro mindigestion and chronic constipation, caused by the continued use of coffee and rich, heavy foods. My ailments made my life so wretched that 1 was eager to try anything that held out a promise of help. And that is how I happened to buy a package of GrapeNuts food last spring. "That ended my eperiments. For in Grape-Nuts I found eactly what I wanted and needed. From the day I began to use it I noticed an improvement and in a few weeks I found my health was being restored. "My digestive apparatus now works perfectly and chronic constipation has been entirely relieved. I have gained in weight materially, and life is a very pleasant thing to me so long as I use Grape-Nuts once or twice a day. I have found by experiment that if I leave it off for a few days my health suffers. "A physician in our town has great success in treating stomach troubles, and the secret of it is that he puts his patient on Grape-Nuts food it always brings back the power of digestion."

Henry La Pierre of Chazy, N. Y.,
who served in the Thirteenth Batallion of Royal Highlanders of Canada, is back at his home, after surviving the
gas fumes at the battle of Ypres, where
the Germans turned loose, the latest
war device, poisonous gases. La Pierre
arrived in this country on the liner St. Paul, after being discharged from
the British army at the request of Ambassador Page.
Practically the entire regiment, La Peirre said, was mowed down by the
deadly gas bombs of the Germans. He
said he crawled for 150 yards under the
heavy double clouds of yellow gas to
the French trenches.
Those of his comrades who perished from the gas lingered for three or four days in dreadful agony before succumbing. Of his batallion of 1,000 men only 150 were left after ten minutes of fighting. His sympathies being with the Allies, La Pierre ran away on August 22 to Montreal and poined the Canadian contingent. After training at Valcartier, near Quebec, his batallion was sent to England, and on Fbruary 14, started for France.
