What to Eat and Why
A Natural Supply of Vitamin
The word “Vitamin” is new, but
the thing itself is a3 old as the
human race. 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—

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.

Your Inquiry referring to Martin

The state of Florida a good many
years ago abolished the private lease
or state convicts. The law did not go
far enough and abolish the private
lease of county convicts. 1 have rec
ommended strongly this action, and
feel sure the legislature will follow
my recommendations.
No state In the union treats Its con
victs more humanely than does Flor
ida. We cannot judge the general
policy by an isolated, rare Incident.
Martin Tabert’s case has been
thoroughly investigated, and Higgen
botham, the guard, alleged to have
whipped Tabert, is now under arrest.

Universal Service.
Springfield. 111.. April 1.—Mail ban
dits fought a battlo with guards and
police here Sunday and escaped from
the Chicago <& Alton railroad depot
with six oags of mail. One band.it
was captured. More than 50 shots
were exchanged.
The raid was spectacular and dar
ing. James Harney, driving a mail
truck, entered the depot from the post
office with a load of mail shortly be
fore 1 o’clock Sunday morning. The
mail was for a train due in Chicago
at 7:30 Sunday morning.
Harney left his truck and started
for the baggage room. Then the
bandit car raced up. Six men, armeiX
snrang out.
Guns Cover Employes.
"Hands up," was the command giv
en as shotguns and pistols were
levelled at Harney, and Herbert Per
kins and John Kirk, station employes.
Harney made a move to escape and
two shotguns were discharged over
his head. His hands went up. One
of the bandits knocked him down with
a gun. Perkins and Kirk were driven
to a corner where one of tHe bandits
kept them under guard while his com
panions sorted out the mail bags.
Across the street at a tnxi stand
Edward Redding, a taxi driver, called
for the police. The bandits fired point
blank in his direction.
Hotel Guests Hear Shots.
Guests in the St Nicholas hotel,
half a block away were terrorized by
the shooting. A telephone operator
in the hotel called the police. *
As two automobiles loaded with pa
trolmen dashed to the depot the
bandits loaded the mall in their car
and sped away, exchanging shots
with the officers.
The bandits’ automobile was found
abandoned a short distance from the
city and the six hags of mail were
foiind in a barn. Only half the let
ters had been opened. Postal inspec
tors believe the bandits wanted a
certain piece of mail and stopped
opening letters after they found it.
Captured Man Identified.
The captured bandit was identified
as Byron J. Shelton, a notorious mail
robber, long identified with the
"Egan Rats,” a band of St. Loula
bandits. His identification was made
complete by comparison of his fingef
prints with records in Chicago.
Shelton failed to reach the automo
bile as it dashed from the station. He
fled to the railroad tracks where he
threw away his gun and surrendered.
Shelton admitted to the authorities
Sunday night he was a member of
the Egan band.
The robbery whs the most daring
since the Dearborn Street station
robbery in Chicago nearly two years
ago. for which Big T\m Murphy,
noted Chicago labor leader and gang
ster, is now serving a term In the
Leavenworth penitentiary. It was
the Dearborn robbery that caused the
government to place guards on mail
trains and at postoffices receiving
stations several months ago.
Postoffice lnspecters from Chicago
and St. Louis arrived here Sunday
night to check the robbery. The
bandits are believed to have fled to
Chicago or St. Louis.
