The worst complications occur In
collecting live stock tax. Scarcely
ever exists a Russian peasant who
has so muny cattle or sheep or pigs
that he would lie required to turn
over u whole animal to the govern
ment. A plan has been devised per
mitting the peasants to agree among
themselves as to which one s.,all
hand over a whole animal to the
government. When the other peas
ants butcher they will pay hack the
peasant whose pig the government
took.
If the pig turned over by this
group of peasants should happen to
weigh more or less than the exact
weight required, as it undoubtedly
would in most eases, the peasants
would receive goods in exchange if
it weighed more, or would pay the
difference in butter or milk or
cheese if it weighed le^s The exact
values of all manufactured articles,
such as shoes, matches, ploughs, and
axle urease, have been worked out
in terms of pork, beef, oats, wheat,
milk. eggs, etc a" no money pay
ments of any kind are to he permit
led in the collection of this tax.

the number of mtiiitus !e had to

tural lax scheme is l.i nine's substi

Thousands of ("omnuri's's have
been mobilised to collect the tux, by
which the government hopes to se
cure enough foodstuffs to feed the
workmen In the cities, soldiers and
government employees. It is not to
lie collected In the famine districts.
Lenine'recently made a number of
trips to explain the natural tax to
the farmers. On his return to Mos
cow he wrote in the lzvestiu that the
shrewd peasant nearly always got
the better of any city workmen com
ing to trade with him manufactured
goods for food.

' The Department of Justice is go
ing after the coffin trust, lis in
vestigators have discovered thai the
manufacturers of coffins, and the
undertakers who retail them, are
among the most conscienceless prof
iteers in the country. Coffins that
cost from $20 to $30 to make are
forced upon the people at prices
ranging as high as JfiOO. Evidence
is being collected upon which pros
ecutions will be based calculated to
put an end to the practice.

Are your flannels
stiff and scratchy
and tight after
they are washed?
THEY shouldn't he, and I hoy wouldn't
Ih\ if they wore washed properly in
the modern, rub-loss way that is so
easy and quick that you may think il is
im|x>ssible until it is tried.
It i> rubbing, hot water, and yellow soap
that ruin flannels. All those dangers are
avoided by using Ivory Soap Flakes, the
new Ivory Soap product prepared especially
for washing tiannels and all fine fabrics.
These delicate white (lakes molt at once
into rich suds that cleanse by dissolving
the dirt.
All that is needed is to soak and squeeze
the garment in tlio soapy foam. first cooled
until it is lukewarm. Do not rub nor twist.
I so a few Ivory Flakes in each of the luke
warm rinses, dry the flannel in a sheltered
>I»ot, away from strong heat or cold, and it
will stay as soft and comfortable as the day
it was bought.
Women like Ivory Flakes because it washes
silks, georgettes, sweaters, delicatc colored
garments, and all fine fabrics so they look
like new. It has revolutionized the art of
home laundering. No one, now-a-days,
needs to wear uncomfortable flannels,
or any garment that has a "laundered"
look.
IVORYS0AP FLAKES

Made by the manufacturers of Ivory Soap
and P and G The White Naphtha Soap.
