If Mellon takes the tax off the rich guy, who Li it be placed on but the poor one? j Taxation is a necesaarv evil to hu man governments. It in always a pain ful subject. There is no such thing as popular legislation for the levying of taxes, however popular the idea of j tax reduction *uiy be. There ure, I however, some ways and means of | levying and collecting tuxes less ob jectionable than others.

Preventing Pneumonia I i SCIENTISTS WARN i AGAINST SHOE DYES i j i Several Cases of Aniline Poison ing Reported. Thnt shoes dyed with materials con tnlrilnx aniline or nltrohenr.ine will poison the tvearer unless they arp al lowed to dry at least twenty-four hours before being worn. Is pointed out in an article on "Poisoning From Shoe I>yes," written by Prof. A. S. Loevenhnrt, ftialrntan of the depart ment of pharmacology at the Univer sity of Wisconsin, and C. W. Muehl berger, state toxlcologlst, for the Chemical Bulletin. During the last l>lx months several cflses of nnlllne poisoning flue to the Improper use of leather dyes have come to our nttentlon," Doctor !>oe venljart and Mr. Muehlberger write. "Similar cases Involving nltrohenzlne have tieeti rejiorted. Itrsuch instances the poison Is absorbed through the sl:in when shoes are worn very soon after hnvlng tieen dyed." A [x'rsnn affocteil by such shoe-dye poison becomes blue within a fe% hours after putting on ii pair of fresh ly lived sillies, and the blueness Is par ticularly noticeable at the and fingernails. Gradually the whole facr iind hotly assume a hluish or p*rplisli hue. which may be accompanied by nausea, dizziness and headache, and there Is also a general physical weak ness. Tbe effect of the poison gradu ally disappears after the shoes are re moved atifl In severul days the skin assumes Its normal color. That some less toxic solvent could he substituted for aniline or nltrobenzlne, and be as satisfactory, is tbe writers' opinion. "The present method of dyeing shoes Is h constant menace to public health. There are shoe sldiHng par lors which advertise 'Shoes Dyed While You Wait.' anil there have been reports of cases where the dye was applied to shoes while they were belii(t worn. 1 lyes containing aniline or nt trobenzlne should be allowed to dry at least twenty-four hours before the shoes a»e worth "The danger of sueti poisoning might tie reduced If the manufacturers were required to place warning labels anil adequate directions ii|«in the con tainers In which such dyes are sold. The only way tbe present method of d.velng shoes may be made safe and foolproof is by removing the highly dangerous poison* which are rea4U/ absorbed through POLDS of .lead or chest are more easily tieated externally with — VICKS ▼ VAPORUB 4 Ovmr IT Million Jmrm U—4 Ymm tip NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in that certain deed of trust executed to me on the 3rd day of Jan. 1 i>! 7, by Henry Rell, and recorded in Martin County I'ublia Registry in liook M-J, page M 7, se curing certain, bonds et even date arid tenor therewith and the stipulations in said deed of trust not having been I'otuplied with, and at the request of til holders of said bonds, I will, on •iOtll day of Jan., 1924, at 12:00 o'- clock, noon, n front of the court house door of Martin county, offer for sale at public auction to the highest..bid der, for cash, the following described real estate.
