TAX THE “DRUMMER” PAY#
k Considerable Item la Commercial
Traveler's Expense Account In
ECsot European Countries.
"®
Three or four drummers, says
Comfort, had engaged in a warm
liscussion over the bane of the
Irummer’s existence on the road.
the “drummer’s tax”—not so bad
is it used to be, however, when
imall towns all over the country
levied tribute on every traveling
man who visited them.
“By Jove,” said a man from a
New York silk firm, “you ought
to try it over on the other side.
What they do here isn’t to bs
•poken of in comparison. Here
it is merely a small local matter.
Over there it is national. At least
It is for any of ns who come from
foreign countries. In Denmark,
for instance, there is an annual
tax of |42.88 if a man represents
one house and half that for eaeb
other house represented. In Nor
way you have to have a trade pass
good for 30 days, costing $26.80.
Prance is easier and you don’t
have anything hut a business;
passport, which costs no mors
than you want to pay. In Hoi
land you have to have an indus
trial tax receipt, which costs six
Jollars. In Sweden' the price is
the same as in Norway, $26.80,
*nd if you try to get out of it you
will catch a fine of from the price
of the trade pass up to $184, and
they are strict about it, too.
“In Austria you have only tn
•how a proper trade license and
in Switzerland a business pass
port. They don’t cost any more
than you want to give up to the
chaps who let you have them. In
Russia the price is $25.75 as trade j
tax and $5.15 extra as a communal j
tax. And if you are a Jew you
don’t want to go to Russia to sell
goods. You may be all right, but
Russia doesn’t like that kind and
shows it by pushing the ‘drummen
tfax’ on Jews up to $275.50, be
sides the communal tax of $5.15.
England’s the place, though,
where you want to go. That’s ths
great free trade land and yon can
go anywhere and everywhere and
■eli to anybody and everybody and
never pay a penny. They are »«
free over there that, by Jove, you
almost feel like asking the court
try to pay you a few hundred a
(war fust because you are there.*

No Benefit
No Cost.
If you are weak and worn
out—if you are nervous, irrita
ble, have headache, backache,
neuralgia, or periodical pains, it
is because you have exhausted
your nerve force.
J ft
If you cannot sleep, and are
thus robbed of the rest which
nature demands for the restor
ation of mental and physical
vigor, your system will con
tinue to run down.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine restores
vitality by soothing and
strengthening the nervous
system, thus inducing refresh
ing sleep, and imparting
strength and vigor to all the
organs of the body.
There are very few instances
where Nervine will not benefit ;
if not, your druggist will re
fund the money.
“When I began taking Dr. Miles'
Nervine I had a very sour stomach,
with pain extending far around on my
left side—attended with extreme nerv
.ousness. 1 dreaded to have night
come, as it was impossible for me to
sleep. Everything I ate distressed me.
Before I had finished one bottle of
Nervine there w'as such a change that
my husband bought six more, which
has restored me to health."
MRS. JENNIE SIMMS.

Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If It fails, he
will refund your money.
