It is the energizing, vitalizing, growth - producing ele ment in the right food. Its ab sence is a serious fault of the wrong food. When the food is I right, there is no need to go W the drug store for Vitamin. Grape-Nuts, the famous ready to-eat cereal, supplies the natural Vitamin from the wheat, and a fur ther supply is included in the cream or milk with which Grape-Nuts is eaten. Grape-Nuts is delightfully crisp and appetizing, with a flavor which happily suggests the wholesome, health-building goodness which the food contains. Phosphorus and Iron, as well as Vitamin, with a * bran content to stimulate intestinal action, are supplied by Grape-Nuts. Many of our modern, “refined” foodB lack these vitally necessary elements. Grape-Nuts digests easily and is assimilated quickly, and is splen didly nourishing and energizing. You’ll find better health and fit ness, in the natural way, with Grape-Nuts as a regular part of your diet. There’s genuine economy In Grape-Nuts—many servings of thi3 exceptionally nourishing food to the package. At your grocer's— ready to serve.

PROGRESSIVE BLOC PLANS TAX REVISION program of House Group, An nounced by Frear, Proposes Definite Measures for Elimi nating Evasion by Wealthy. By Universal Service. Washington, April l.—A definite program of the house progressive bloc for the revision of the federal tax laws during the 68th congress was announced Sunday by Repre sentative James A. Frear, of Wiscon.' sin. The propose^ legislation in cludes: 1. A constitutional amendment to reach stock dividends, now held to be nontaxable under a five to four decision of the supreme court. 2. Tax on undistributed profits, retroactive to 1919, to reach cor porate surpluses laid aside annu ally and subsequently distributed in stock dividends. 3. Restoration of a modified excess profits tax. 4. Heavy increase in the in heritance tax. 5. A gift tax, to prevent dodg ing of the inheritance levy. 6. Publicity of treasury de partment records, throwing open tax proceedings in the same man ner as court hearings. Tentative drafts of the six mea sures already have been prepared by Representative Frear, at the direction of the leaders of the progressive bloc. The Wisconsin presentative is a member of the ways and means com mittee and one of the recognized au thorities on fiscal matters in the House. He will pilot the bills on the House side. Will Caucus On Measures. A meeting of the progressives will be called when the next session is convened in December to approve the details of the proposals before they are introduced. The general princi ples of all the measures have been agreed upon, it is stated. In support of the proposed stock dividend amendment. Representative Frear declared as a result of the su preme court decision exempting these Issues from taxation "single individ- r uals now often hold millions of dol- ) lars tax free, whereas many profes- ’ sion men are paying far larger taxes on their personal service in comes alone. This grossly unjust re sult is due to tax evasions made pos sible by court decisions in this coun try unknown to other countries.” More than $20,000,000,000 invested in tax free bonds and stock dividends, the Wisconsin progressive said, pays no personal income tax w'hatever, de stroying the effectiveness of the in come tax law. Assails Mellon Action. The proposed retroactive undistrib uted profits tax would not equal the Individual surtaxes, “that ought to have been paid as surpluses were dis tributed," the statement continues, "Dut it will help to meet the situa tion.” Mr. Frear asserted this pro posal has been “endorsed by high tax authorities, apart from four eminent judges in the stock dividend decision.” The practice of resorting to stock dividends, the progressive spokesman said "is unjust to the little stockhold er and Is responsible for groat monop olies that have absorbed all rivals through surplus profits that pay no personal income tax.” Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, he charged, has nulified the section of the revenue act of 1921, designed to impose 25 per cent, penalty upon surpluses ac cumulated to avoid taxes.

TS BLOCK BLOCS Senator Watson Announces Administration Leaders Op pose Tax and Tariff j Tinkering. BY JAMES R. NOURSE, Universal Service Correspondent. Washington, April 2.—There will be no tinkering with the tariff and tax laws at the next session of congress if the "old guard” republican leaders can prevent it. Announcement to this effect was made Monday by Senator Watson, of Indiana, wfco was at the capital for a tew hours enroute to New York, hav ing just come from Cuba. Senator Watson said the plans of the republican leaders for the next session do not include any amenda tory measured" with reference to ex isting tax rates, nor revision of the income or surtax rates. Neither is it planned, he said, to bring the tar iff law up for amendment. Will Fight Progressives. Coming upon the heels of the an nouncement made Sunday by Repre sentative Frear, of Wisconsin, of the plans agreed upon by the progressive bloc to cut down the tax rates, Wen ator Watson’s statement is full of significance. It means that the “old guard" leaders will do all in their power to prevent the progressives from any .attempt to carry out their program. The safest way to accom plish this end, of course, is to keep the tax law and the tariff just where they are and not allow either of them to be brought into the Senate or House for amendment. Conservative republican leaders exhibit fear of what might happen to the revenue system now in force, or to tlie tariff law, if either measure were permitted to run the gauntlet of progressive attack in either House. For if either measure were submitted for changes which might be favored by the "old guard,” this very act would make the entire measure open to general amendment. . The conse quence might be that the whole tax raising system and the tariff also would he riddled by the combined votes of the progressive blocs and the democrats, a combination which could easily outvote the "old guard." Senator Watson .3 announcement represents a complete about face by administration leaders. Several weeks ago it was stated that the Harding administration would under take a careful revision of the taxes In the next session for the purpose of jnaking a good showing to voters who are now complaining that their taxes are too high. The £|hift in the plans indicates that th% "old guard" leaders do not intend to permit themselves to be frightened by the high tax “bogey," whit h democrats are preparing to bring forth in the campaign. On the rontrary, as Indicated by Senator Watson’s announcement, they will ignore it and will make their cam paign on other issues.
