CONGRESS MAY GET VACATION IN SPITEOF TAXES Leaders Arrange For Rest While Committee Drafts Revenue Measure Washington, May 29.—Congress last night apparently had found a way to provide the new war revenue legislation Insisted upon by President Wilson without abandoning entirely its long cherished plan to get out of Washington for a summer vacation. Leaders of both parties joined In conferences over a program pro posed by Representative Garner, of Texas, a Democrat of the House Ways and Means Committee, and It was given general approval. The plan contemplates prompt action on pending appropriation bills, to be fol lowed about June 15 or 20 by a re cess of both Houses until August 1, while the Ways and Means Commit tee frames the revenue bill. After passage of the measure •by the House, probably about August 10, the House would recess for thirty days to await action in the Senate. This program has not been dis cussed with the President or Secre tary McAdoo, but leaders at the Cap itol are taking it for granted the ad ministration has no legislation of imperative importance to bring for ward, and that their plans will not be interfered with so long as work on the revenue bill goes ahead. Leaders Agree to Plan Mr. Garner's proposal developed during a day of private discussion "The Live Store" "Always Reliable" Store Closed I llk "Over There" j \ Long range guns are paving the I Wk wa y t° victory for our invincible armies which Have gone forth determined that at any sacrifice they shall win Our noble land has pledged its all for justice || IlllE ars Stripes I kjjnk Have never been lowered or 1 associated in any way with dishonor or be ilr 1 1 i^ i \ r ii trayal of trust America is a peace loving country, re- spe^ t * n S I ,^ese lofty principles I % silS I iff cannot fail in their purpose to per w M Iffl lIP I petuate freedom and re-establish harmony "Over Here" ||| Men, women and children are putting forth their best efforts to keep supplies constantly flowing "across the seas" to sustain life and bring relief to the millions who are praying and hoping that our interest shall "not slacken" until the Hun has bowed in humble submission to "right" and "justice." ' 304 MARKET STREET HARRISBURG, PA. The Home of Hart Schaffner & ""'iTHiff lanrnwimnti iMiiTiiiMiMMmiiiiMWßMMM— on both aides of the Capitol reflecting the general reluctance on the part of everybody to settle down to an all-summer session. The plan will be submitted to the Ways and Means Committee when the committee meets to prepare for hearings soon to begin on the new bill, which prob ably will levy about four billion dol lars In additional taxes, largely upon Incomes, excess profits and luxuries. The Democrats of the committee probably will frame a tentative draft upon which the entire membership will build the bill after hearings last ing a fortnight Or more. Says Lobbying i s Responsible Representative Kitchin. of North Carolina, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, made a speech In the House explaining his attitude to ward immediate revenue legislation, and charging that a powerful lobby working for revision of the new zone postal rates on newspapers-and peri odicals wa responsible for the de mand for keeping Congress in ses sion. Heretofore the lobby hoped to have the Senate put an amendment repealing or modifying the zone sys tem law on the revenue bill, and to keep it there by getting the Presi dent or the Secretary of the Treas ury to insist upon the House con ferees yielding when election or ad journment time approached.

Brewers and Saloonmen Plan to Make "Killing" Before Nation Goes Dry Philadelphia, May 29.—A 5-cent beer, which hitherto has run any where from ten to sixteen ounces, will hereafter be eight ounces ex actly. .A growler of beer, which hitherto has run to the limit of the can or pitcher, at the same time will be re duced to its exact legal proportions of thirty-two ounces. The brewers and saloonkeepers are going to economize on beer and, in cidentally, nearly double their profits. There Is a reason, of course. In fact, there are two reasons. The Government has ordered the brewers to economize on their use of grain for booze and the brewers and distillers at the same time realize that they are facing the hardest fight of their lives and will need a lot of boodle to pull them through the pro hibition agitation. The big brewers of Philadelphia, Bergner, Poth, Baltz, , Bergdoll, Schmidt and Gardiner, got on the Job last week and* told a committee of saloonkeepers that they would have to cut down on the consumption of beer or there would be a beer famine on July 1. The Government's order curtailing the use of grain for beer brewing wu given as the pub lic reason for cutting down the sis* of beer glasses in saloons hereafter* Not Demanding Smaller Nickel No suggestion was offered for cur tailing the number of nickels going across the bar. All suggestions of economy were on the side of what the consumer gets for bis nickel.

Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When It fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul phur enhances Its appearance a hun dredfold. Don't bother to prepare the mix ture; you can get this famous old re cipe Improved by the addition of other Ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound. This can always be depend, ed upon to bring back the natural color and luster of your hair. Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because It darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell It has been ap plied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and af ter another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. This ready-to-uso preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga tion or prevention of disease.—Adv. 7
