milse and Sold 'Em for
Spending Money Invest
ors Bought Them.
Washington, Jan. 8. Most of the
buyers of liberty bonds were pa
triots and "free spenders." As distin
guished from so-called investors,
'"free spenders" bought up the bonds
and used them later as so much
spending money. The patriotic ele
ment who have thus parted with their
securities have seen them go into
hands of investors who have secured
a big "bargain" and are due to reap
enormous gains in the predicted rise
in government bonds of the various
issues: ..
Secretary of the Treasury Uayid
F. Houston gave this view today, dis
cussing liberty bond depreciation and
the reasons for the slump in the value
of the various issues.
Spending Freely.
"People generally have been spend
ing money freely and saving too lit
tle," said Houston. "There has not
been sufficient capital accumulated to
overcome the pressure upon the mar
ket from those who bought bonds
as patriots, but not as investors."
Secretary Houston explained that
1 7 liberty bonds, like other bonds, are
subject to market influences, includ
ing the law of supply and demand.
"Liberty bond quotations have de
clined because the great investing
public failed to save in proportion to
the enormous expenditures of capital
during and since the war.
Rise Indicated.
"Many patriotic ' people bought
bonds under the Impulse of pf patrio
tism. Since the war was over they
have been unwilling to continue to
V lend money to the government, and
Jtave furced their holding on the
market more rapidly . than others
could save funds to invest, with con
sequent depreciation in market prices.
The treasury Is firm in the opinion
that holders of liberty . bonds who
do not part with their bonds, will
1 not have occosion . to regret it, and
-'will not suffer by reason of present
"depreciation. There are indications
f a steady rise n the near future."

For Chinese Relief
Beauty Pays Toll
Of Millions in
Taxes to U. S.
Buyers of Cosmetics, Rouge,
, Toilet Waters, Sweet Scent
ed Soaps, Etc., Contrib
ute in War Taxes.
Washington, Jan. 8. Beauty paid
a heavy toll in war tax to Uncle
Sam last year. But beauty also was
heavily robbed. The government also
lost in the process. Losse tax laws
were to blame. The treasury today
estimated that the fair sex paid many
millions of dollars, in addition to the
purchase price, in stamp taxes which
never reached the treasury.
War taxes on beauty preparations
under present laws are collected by
the dealer. Buyers of perfumes, toi
let waters, sweet scented soaps,
rouge and other cosmetics thought
the added charge imposed for taxes
all went to help pay for the war.
They were mistaken to the tune of
more than $25,000,000, treasury ex
perts said. This they compute as the
sum dealers failed to turn in, and
loosely drawn tax laws make it
virtually impossible to trace the of
fenders. Secretary of the Treasur Houston
recommends to congress that this
he changed. He urged that manu
facturers of cosmetics, medical pre
parations and other similar "luxury"
items be compelled, under revised
tax laws, to pay . the tax and affix
the stamps before shipment. This
will stop the payment of the tax on
the individual sale. The government j
will collect the tax from manufac
turers, producers or importers.'
Secretary Houston said only $50,
000,000, in revenue taxes was col
lected from this source last year. He
estimates it should have netted the
government probably double that
sum. Revised laws to be drawn by
congress, he said, should definitely
fix the manufacturers' liability and
make evasion of the law impossible.
The public pays in the end all of this
tax, but more rigid check on manu
facturers will assure that such tax
payments will, reach the treasury.
Clearing House Statement
Shows a Healthy Reserve
New York, Jan. 8. The actual
condition of clearing house banks and
trust companies for the week shows
that they hold $9,131,530 reserve in
excess of legal requirements. This
is a decrease of $1,912,350 from last
week.

"No-To-Bac" has helped thousands
to break the costly, nerve-shattering
tobacco habit. Whenever you have f.
longing for a cigarette, cigar, pipe,
or lor a chew, just place a harmless
No-To-Bac tablet in your mouth in
stead, to help relieve that awful de
sire. Shortly the habit may be com
pletely broken, and you are better off
mentally, physically, financially. It's
so easy, so simple. Get a box of No-To-Bac
and if it doesn't release you
from all craving for tobacco in any
form, your druggist will refund your
money without question.
President Wilson Names Ward
M. Burgess National
Committeeman.
' President Vbo4row Wilson has
appointed Ward M. Burgess , of
Omaha, as one of the members of
the national committee for the relief
of famine-stricken China. Thomas
W. Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
is chairman of the committee. Mr.
Burgess has accepted the appoint
ment and is awiting word from Mr.
Lamont as to the procedure to be
followed. He said today: :'
- "As pointed out by President
Wilson in his statement of Decem
ber 30, conditions in China are ap
palling. It is believed that despite
the most earnest efforts, between
20.000,000 and 30,000,000 of people
will perish there before the next
harvest can be reaped.
"For nearly two years no rain has
fallen in a wide area, and so des
perate are conditions that even the
bark of the trees has been consumed
for food. Entire families are re
ported to be drowning themselves to
escape torture, and many instances
are reported where " starvation has
, forced the people fa their despera
tion actually to resort to canntbal
"iwn. "There is great need for haste,
beeause despite the most frantic ef
forts which can be made, water
transportation will soon be closed
by freezing weather. This means
that it will be impossible to reach
certain districts where millions are
doomed to starve.
"I am not yet informed as to the
plans of the national committee, but
I am sure the response will be
prompt and generous."
