DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1919

THE TOBACCO AND LIQUOR TAX Indianapolis, .Tan. 17—The Revenue Bill now pending ano which will probably become ;j law wiihin a very short time, contains provisions for floor tax <hi cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff and of distilled spirits, wines and cordials, which held end intended for sale on the effective date of the Act. Floor tax, in short, means the difference between the tax under the existing law and the tax imposed by she revenue bill referred to above. The dealers concerned should watch the daily papers closely so as to be informed as to the passage of the bill. Each dealer concerned should then, and on that date, take an inventory of any of the above items which he has on his premises and held and intended for sale on the date that the bill is passed. inventory covering cigars should be made by classes; each class based upon the retail selling price thereof. And if any cigars are held weighing not more than 3 pounds per thousand, a separate inventory should be made of this class. Inventory of cigarettes should show the quantity held of those weighing not more than 3 pounds per thousand, and ot those weighing more than 3 pound* per thousand. Inventory of tobacco and snuff should show the total number of pounds and the nutniter of packages of each denomination as shown by the government stamp on package. This inventory of all items referred to, when made up, should be held until you receive the prescribed government Inventory to which the quantity of cigars, cigarettes and tobacco should be transferred and the form then signed and sworn to. In addition to the inventory, another form will be sent, to the dealer " from this office, which is designated as the “official return.’’ The inventory should not be sent to this office until the form designated as return is received. Then both the inventory and return submitted to me with postoffice money or draft for the tax involved. These forms will be mailed promptly upon receipt from Washington and after the passage of the act. Please make allowance for some delay necessary for printing, etc. Checks are not accepted and dealers will avoid delay by sending remittance only by postoffiee money order or draft. All deaers must make inventory and return irrespective of amount of stock held. —Peter J. Kittyer, collector.

SAYS COLD WEATHER BRINGS RETURN OF INFLUENZA. Public Must be Careful to Avoid a Second Epidemic—Easier to Prevent Than Cure— What to Do. “Encouraging reports of the fewer cases ot Influenza in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our vigilance or to become careless in the belief that the danger is all over." says a well known authority. With the coming of cold weather there is apt to be a return of this frightful epidemic and its seriousness will depend on the extent of the precautions, taken by the public, to prevent infection. When the air is full of influenza germs, yon may be constantly breathing them into your nose and throat. But their danger may be avoided and you may make yourself practically immune to infection if you destroy the germ before it actually begins work in your blood During the recent serious epidemic, which hit Decatur so so hard, most successful results were obtained by many through the simple breathing into the nose, throat and lungs of the medicated air of Oil of Hyomei. Probably no better, safer or more sensible precaution against Influenza. Grippe, Coughs. Colds, Bronchitis or Catarrh of the nose and throat could be employed than to go to the nearest drug store and get a complete Hyomei outfit consisting of the pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vest pocket hard rubber inhaling device into which a few drops of the oil are poured. Carry this inhaler with you during the da'v and each half hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure healing germicidal | 1 air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs to destroy any | germs that may have found lodgement there. This simple precaution mav save you a serious illness and the . loss of several weeks' work. It is . pleasant to use and not at all expen- . sive as the inhaler will last a lifetime 1 and further supplies of the Oil of Hy- 1 omel can be had at any drug store ] for a few cents. Hundreds of people in this vicinity used Hyomei in this way during the re- I cent crisis and avoided danger. They i should not neglect it now for the dan- . ger is by no means over.

OAllf HEftffli TALKS What Is The Cause of Backache? BY DOCTOR CORNELL i E Backache is perhaps the most common . ailment from which women suffer. Rarely ■ do you find anybody free from it. SomeI times the cause is obscure, but Dr. Pierce, ’ of Buffalo, N. Y., a high medical authority, J says the cause is very often a form of catarrh tiiat settles in the delicate membranes of the feminine organs. When ; these organs are inflamed, the fust sympi tom is backache, accompanied by bcaring- - down sensations, weakness, unhealthy dis- ’ charges, irregularity, painful periods, irri- ( tation, headache and a general run-down j condition. Any woman in tiiis condition ( is to be pitied, but pity does not cure. The I trouble calls for Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which is a separate and disi tinct medicine for women. It is mado of 1 roof s and herbs put up without alcohol or • opiate of any kind, for Dr. Pierce uses " nothing else in his prescription. Favorite ’ Prescription is a natural remedy for woI men, for the vegetable growths of which it \ is made seem to have been intended by , Nature for that very purpose. Thousands -of girls and women, young and old, have . taken it, and thousands have written ■ grateful letters to Dr. Pierce sajfing it ’ made them well. In taking Favorite I’re- ’ scription, it is reassuring to know that it . goes straight to the cause of the trouble. There is but one way to overcome sickness, j and that is to overcome the cause. That . is precisely what Favorite Prescription is intended to do. .

gj The Primrose-is"Builffor,Service DOTH the reasons why you buy a cream s*eparator are met fully by the Primrose. The first is to get all the cream with the least work; the second, to buy a machine that you or your wife can easily keep in operating condition, and that will skim closely for years. You know that there is nothing about a Primrose to get out of order. You know, too, that it has a splash oiling system that takes care of every bearing, and that it is a clean machine—no oil m the milk, and no milk in the oil. But the Primrose has some other exclusive features you ought to know before you buy any separator. For instance, at any position, the handle takes bold the instant pressure is applied, and lets go the instant the pressure is taken off. Ihe spindie stays in the separator, where it belongs. When you place the bowl on the spindle, it centers itself automatically without any pounding and without trying more than once — that saves the lower spindle bearing and prevents dangerous springing of the spindle itself. No matter what separator question you bring up, you will find it fully answered by the Primrose. Come in and take a good look at it before you buy. T. W.
