Your Income Tax la Not Enough! The recently-completed annual task of compilîng a nefuru of incarne for fax pur- poses is not a joyful one. Computing the amounu of the fax andi then paying it are even lesg enjoVable. It requires a high order of publie spirit to pay any fax cheer- fully. What citizen pauses, in the process of cornpetillg ail income-tax retun, ta con- template wvhat the government accom- plîshes with the money neceived front in- carne taxes? Does lie realize that one item alone of national expense requires ail his contribution and that of eveny other in- carne-fax payer - plus $20.000,000 from other sources of revenue? Thaf item, which has ta bc paid ouf of the public treasumy, is the annual intemest charge an the debt of the~ Canadian National Railways. plus in- tenest on gavernment advances. Cunrent earning of the govemument rail- way system are inadequate for this purpose - in fact f hey have been insufficient eveny year since the day fhe Canadian National became organized. Sa, support from the public purse, ta the ftune of $100,000,000 an- nuallv, is needed te pay t he bill. Thus it is in onden that the cifizens shouid ponder these thîngs while prepaning fa pay his incarne fax. Let him also dwell on the t hought t hat the leading mnen in bath major political parties have flot anly failed ta ne- lieve the growing burden of taxation for ailway purpases they have flot even put fonward a single suggestion for the solution of fthc probiem. Their sale contribution has been persistent apposition ta any construc- tive recommendafian which has been advo- cated outside parliament. This negleet ta deai adequately with the situatidu pnesenfed by the naitonal railways may bie due, in part at, least, ta the faet that incrne-fax payens are nat ail politie- aliy uniteci; the vote of one may offset the vote of anothen in any genenal electian. But, in the mincis of the 132,000 emiployees of Canadian raiiways, lurks the suspicion thaf if will bie at their expense if any plan is put iuta effecfta relieve taxpayers of the railway burden. Politiciaus shrink froni advoeating the adoption of any piaf- fon whieh might alienate the vote of fthc railway worker - to say nofhing of the votes of has sisters and hs oulsins and his aunts.: ga, unies incarne-fax payers qnickly be- carne more vocal in demandig action in respect to the railway situation, they may again bie negiected at Ottawa until anather Apnil rails arouud - even though there are 200,000 of tliem.

The wrifer referred ta above lists headaches as mechanical, foxic aud functional. If is a gooci classification. A mechanical hendache is due ta dise6aes af, or damage ta the head itself. It may be caused by a colci which pluga up the amnuses leading ta the nose. Free drainage is the solution. Eye headaches are due to same eye defect. The cure is obvions. Have your eyes cxamined by a competent oculist and the eyc defect corrected by proper glasses. Toxic hendache is produced by such pois- ons as to.bacco, aicohol, gases, and drugs or by internàl poisons mnufacfured by the body. These internai poisons arise. frani defective action of liven, kiducys, sfomacli and bowelis. Overeating, averdrnking and flie use of poisoned foods are frequeuf causes.

Some persans are tortured by migraine. Certain. faads, known as allergic, heredity and nervons factors are ail blamed for the condition. A new drng, argatamine is said fa be effective for migraine.
