r.VADOO RENEWS EFFORT TO GET TAX ON INCOMES

rges Increased Rate for In come Taxes and Present Standard for Excess Profits WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Secretary McAdoo Monday renewed negotiations with the Ways and Means Committee of the House In an effort to get the committee to accept the Treasury Department's recommendations on the Income tax and excess profits rates. He conferred in the morning with Chairman Kitchln, and in the afternoon with the Treasury experts who have worked over these features of fthe revenue bill. Secretary McAdoo has not given up hope that he will be able to convince the committee that the excess proSts rates should be the same as those in fthe present law, and that the normal Income tax rate should be 12 per cent, with 15 per cent taxed against unearned Incomes. The committee wants to raise the excess profits rates and put the income tax at 10 to 12 per cent. In the conference with Mr. Kitchln, Secretary McAdoo pointed out reasons 'why the income tax rate should be increased, and the increased profits' rates allowed to remain as they are. He showed by the tabulations of the 'experts that with the war profits rate fixed at 80 per cent, any increase in the excess profits rates will impose an undue burden on small business and produce no more revenue than the existing rate. Secretary McAdoo hopes for the same return on the excess-profits tax ns this year, with a big increase in v collections under the war-profits tax. At the afternoon conference Secretary McAdoo went over all the principal provisions of the House bill as finally adopted by the committee. Others present were Assistant Secretaries LefflgweU, Adams and Love. is probable that Secretary McAdoo will address another letter to Chairman Kitchln. setting forth in detail the Treasury Department's views on the bill in general. The Secretary pointed out that of the revenue bill is not enacted by September 28, the opening date of the fourth liberty loan, the loan may be nomewhat hampered because business men will not know definitely what their ta burdens are to be. For this reason the establishment of a different rata oa Income from private issued securities is considered particularly important. The committee was in session until late In the afternoon. Mr. Kitchln announced that the time had been spent in going over the text of the bill. He raid ii nilsrht be Impossible to introduce the bill In the House before next Monday. A number of the administrative features of the measure are yet to be agreed upon. GREENSFORK, IND.

Will Help McAdoo Operate Railroads

Edward C. Niics. Edward C. Niles of Concord, N. H., has been appointed manager of the short line section of the railroad lines under Secretary McAdoo. His work is to see that the short line roads not under government control secure a fair division to the traffic. Niles is chairman of the New Hampshire public service commission. He is also president of the national association of public utility commissioners. SAVE SUGAR By NINA V. SHORT Why? 1. We have been sending soldiers across at a rapid rate. This has meant that less shipping was available to bring the sugar from Java and the West Indies. 2. Crops are less than we anticipated. 3. France and Italy will have to import more. Many of their beet sugar factories have been destroyed by the Germans. 4. Submarines on the Atlantic coast have sunk large supplies of sugar. How to Save 1. Bottle juice without sugar and save for jelly until sugar is more plentiful. 2. Many fruits can be dried. This will save sugar. 3. Omit sweet pickles and watermelon rind preserves this year. 4. Pulp fruits acording to the English method Place fruit over a gentle heat until moisture comes out to prevent burning, then increase the heat until the fruit boils. Boil one hour, stirring often to prevent burning; can in sterilized jars. With some dry fruits, such as apples, a little water will have to be added to prevent burning. Pulped fruit can be used for jam, stewed fruit, puddings and pies. Since we must be especially careful of sugar, it is well to make up the pulp into jam, one jar at a time. The English housewife allows half a pint of sugar to a pint of pulp, which she says, " 'Tis quite sweet enough and almost a luxury in these days." 5. Use a combination of sugar and corn syrup, in canning some fruits, as: One cup water and 12 cups light corn syrup boiled together until a thin syrup is made; or 1 cup water, J,i cup light corn syrup and 2-3 cup sugar boiled together to form a thin syrup. 6. Store instead of canning, whatever fruits will keep, such as apples. CIVIL SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT The Clerk-Carrier civil service examination which was to have been held in the court house next Saturday will be held in the High school building instead. Persons taking the examination will report at Room 20, second floor, southeast corner of the high school building. The number of applications received made it necessary to secure a larger room than the one engaged at the court house.

years of training as it actually is, as the film was made in one of the large New York hospitals. , The present emergency has taken into the army almost all the graduate nurses in the country who can be spared from teaching and administrative positions in hospitals and from public health vrork and the contemplated increase in the size of our army will require a constantly increasing supply of nurses. To meet this need the army has established training schools for nurses at the various base hospitals throughout the country and hopes to secure 25,000 student nurses at once. Unmarried women between the ages of 19 and 35 are eligible if they are high school graduates aud are in good health. The first two years training is given in the army hospitals in this country and the final year in foreign service as the former rule against sending abroad sisters of soldiers has now been abrogated. Information may be obtained at the Red Cross headquarters or from Miss Pound at the Reid Memorial hospital
