We think, if j things are considered in their irue light, our greater respect is due to the poker player. He gambles with money, while the other gambles with our food- stoods. The poker player is a gambler, while those who are permitted to advance the price of commodities are thieves and robbers. Many thousands of dollars that should be going into the Red Cross and Patriotic Fund today can not be spared on account of tho excessive prices of living, and ever}' dollar in excess of legitimate prices is that much blood money wrung from our men at the front and tho dependents at home. For a long time there has been talk of investigations and control of food prices; but talk is cheap; and while the talk is going on the prices are steadily rising. Tho people of Canada have surely been patriotic enough to have their endeavors and sacrifices suf ficiently appreciated by our government that the food hogs be put where tney properly belong. Of what use is it to cultivate vacant lots and back yards if the profits gained thereby are pilfered by still higher prices'? Saving at the bunghole and wasting at the spigot will not accomplish any more than.the cheap.talk about control of food pri������es. What must be done is for every council, board of trade, 1. O. D. E., Red Cross and Patriotic sociolv to de- niand a readjustment und complete, control of food prices. The govern meut owe it us and to those who are in the life and death struggle for our liberty. If we demand, instead of ask for it, we will get it.-���������Ludysmith Chronicle.

It is intended to impose a tax on incomes above a certain amount, and quite probably to go farther. Under the law as it stands at present the government gets one- fourth of business profits between 7 and 15 per cent, one-half between 15" and 20 per cent, and three- quarters above 20 per cent. Last year's taxation was substantially productive. By its operation three firms contributed amounts in excess of ������600,000, two in excess of $300,000, four over $200,000,and fourteen over ������100,000. ��������� The income tax which is now proposed, it is expected will yield a considerable sum when it is put into operation.

He says that a few drops of a drug 'called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly relieves soreness, and soon the entire com, root' and all, lifts right out. This dru-j is a sticky ether compound, but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating tlie surrounding tissue.
