SHE COULD NOT STAND OB WORK But Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health and Stopped Her Pains. Portland, Ind. —“I had a displacement and suffered so badly from it that i I at times I could not 1 . I ].[] be on my feet at all. \ ( j L_J I was all run down /I \ | and so weak I could v not do my house—V 7-V’x 4 work, was nervous rfW' and could not lie ■ V down at night I took treatments z CZ"' '<■ rom a physician but Ji z7 <3 they did nothelp me. My Aunt rec ommended Lydia E. X" Pinkham’s Vegetabl° Compound. I -—tried it and now I “ am strong and well ~ again and do my own LAJiut— werk and j give ■ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound the credit” —Mrs. Josephine Kimble, 935 West Eace St, Portland, Ind. Thousands of American women give this famous root and herb remedy the credit for health restored as did Mrs. Kimble. For helpful suggestions in regard to such ailments women are asked towrite to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. The result of its long experience is at your service.

Boston. Mass A marriage license was issued’ this afternoon to Albert Francis Glass, printer of 125 Breckenridge street, Fort Wayne, born February 20, 1898, to wed Grace Shaw, waitress, born February 2, 1895, daughter of Harvey Shaw. Jim Clark, of Bluffton, a discharged soldier, pleaded guilty to assault and battery on A. F. Hedrick, a Clover Leaf employe, February 22, and was fined $5 in the circuit court here by Judge 1). E. Smith, this afternoon at 1:30. The charge was made by H. A. Kehres, a railway detective. It seems that Clark got on a Clover Leaf train at Delphos, O. and it is said was intoxicated when the train had. reached a point west of Peterson, in this county, Clark’s hat fell off and he ordered the fellow in the next scat to pick it up for him. Whn he failed to comply with his orders, Clark is said to have hauled off and struck him in the mouth, splitting his lip. Rotherhithe Old Saxon Town. Rotherhithe is one of those old English towns, Saxon in origin, whose name lends Itself to two etymological explanations. Red Rose Haven is said to be the origin of Rotherhithe, from a Red Rose signboard which used to mark some seaman’s tavern centuries ago. Probably the more accurate version points to the old Saxon word “redhra,” a mariner, and “hith,” a haven, as accounting for the word. Certainly Rotherhithe had a great reputation for the quality of her seamen; Sir John Leake, the hero of La Hogue, hailed from the old port on the Thames. Jn Pepys’ day It was commonly known as Redriff, and occurs under that name in the Diary on many occasions. The Pork Barrel. The phrase “pork barrel" originated from an old saying of the people in the farm districts that they had no need to worry on account of a severe winter, as they had their barrels filled with, salted pork or other meats. From this to the sharing of political plums is but a step. When appropriations for Improvements are made by congress or legislatures, such as post office improvements, and river and harbor work, each representative strives to secure a part of the appropriation for his district, so that his constituents may share in the financial distribution in the form of contracts or labor.

TWELVE THOUSAND DISABLED [ Number of Injured Fighters Seeking; New Vocation Increasing Washington, M rt h, 3 — Approxi-I mately 200,000 disabled men are com-! ing homo. Many of these will return to their old vocations, but thousands j of them will need reeducation before ! they can become self-supporting citi-i zone. These disabilities range from ■ amputations to that far larger per-' cent of internal wounds, tuberculosis J shell shock and other contracted dis-1 eases. That in each case he may ov-| crcome his handicap has been proven by hundreds of those who have already been retrained. Men who have suffered amputation have become successful farmers, bee keeper.-’, tailors, welders and professional mem The deaf have taken agricultural and mechafiical training and have made good. The blind and the per cent of the blind is very small) have been taught to work as typists, poultry men, and assemblers in machine shops. Outdoor occupations have opened a path to the tuberculosis, and other occupations have been found compatible with other handicaps. I Today over twelve Thousand men are registered with the. federal board for vocational education of Washing-j ton, which is the agent of congress in, this work. A tentative classification j of the first one hundred and fifty-sev-ei cases approved for training indicates the wide diversity of vocations; for which they are being trained. Six-ty-three distinct courses of training are reported embracing agricultural, commercial, technical and professional choices, ■with some cases of specialized work in jewelry and architecture. Forty four institutions are represented in the schools in which • these disabled men have been trained .and over the entire country trere has been the most cordial coopera-1 tion in the schools in offering their facilities for the use of the federal, board in this work. The work has enlarged and grown to such an extent that besides the' regular fourteen district offices over tho country, six branch offices have been opened. The board does not stop with the| retraining of the disabled men, but, has interested itself in getting the employers to give their cooperation. | That is the keynote of this carefully I considered plan of the government ( —the hearty, intelligent, and untiring cooperation of the employers in giving work to the disabled men, not from charity or patriotic gratitude, but from a just realization that in-

spite of a handicap a trained worlter os of real worth to the business. The reeducation of disabled soldiers is free to them, and the federal board is trying to get in touch with all in need of it.

A Woman’s Health aeawwr— r— -j. means everything to her. But '* Iso many of our [American women are worn tFytftN <. -Jr ,L ■ out, anemic, and pEsSgr from *ke peculiar t \ \-<a weakness of to71 \ vAS mankind. To /4 A Jf build up, strengthen and (_• VA cure these weak[dNp \\ W nesses, there is ’ \y. V nothing so good \ 'pv\ as Dr. Pierce’s V/ Favorite Prescription. This Bl is a woman’s true r 5 herbal tonic. ’ It does not contain a particle of alcohol, nor any thing deleterious to women’s delicate constitution. For fifty years it has proven its merit, and can now be had in tablet as well as liquid form at almost any drug store, or send 10c for trial package of tablets to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Write Dr. Pierce for free medical advice if there is need. That weak back accompanied by pain here and there—extreme nervousness —sleeplessness—maybe faint spells, .. .mis or spasms—all are signals of distress for a woman. She may be growing from girlhood into womanhood—passing from womanhood to motherhood —or later suffering during middle life, which leaves so many wrecks of women. At any of these periods of a woman’s- life, ‘‘Favorite Prescription’'* is the best herbal tonic and nervine prescribed for just such cases by a physician of vast experience in the diseases from which women suffer. . ,

THIS TELLS HOW T 9 FIGURE INCOME IM Squarely Up to Every Individual to Get Busy by March 15 or Suffer Penalty. “Don’t wait until the final due date, March 15th, for paying your Income Tax and making your return. Avoid the last minute rush. Any person can figure out his liability today as well as he can next week, and if there is any point on which he needs advice he can now get in toucli with a Revenue man. This word of advice is being given out by Internal Revenue men. Returns and payments are being col lected in Indiana by the following Collectors of Internal Revenue: Peter J. Kruyer. Isaac R. Strouse. Every aid of their offices and field forces is being given freely to the public. But the Income Tax men will not null vour door-bell or your coat-tabs, according to the Collector’s announcement. It is squarely up to every individual to figure out his own case ano to get busy if he comes within the scope of the new Revenue law. Did You Earn This Much? Every unmarried person who received income averaging $19.2,> a week during 1918 and every married couple who jointly received income averaging $38.50 a week should secure at once from the nearest Deputy Collector or the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A. That form contains the information he will need to enable him to figure his correct net income and any tax that he owes the Government. The law requires that every unmarried person who had a net income of SI,OOO or over and every married prison whose net income was $2,000 or over (including the income of husband or wife, and the earnings of minor children, if any) must make a return on or before March 15th. And this requirement does not hinge on whether tlie person owes a tax. Taxable Income. An individual must Include under gross income all gains, profits and income derived from salaries, wages, or compensation for i Tsonal service of whatever kind and in whatever form paid, or from professions, vocations, business, sales or dealings In property of al! kinds, interest, rent, dividends, or profits derived from any source whatever. Very few items of income are exempt. I (eductions include ordinary and noc-es-.iry business expenses, interest paid or accrued on indebtedness, taxes of ail kinds except Federal income and excess profits taxes and assessments for ioeal benefits, losses ac|uaUy sustained, debts ascertained to : ss. and depreciation on buildings, machinery, fixtures, etc., used in business. A further deduction is allowed-for contributions to corporations operated for religious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals to an amount not exceeding 15 per cent of the taxpayer’s net income as computed without the benefit of the contribution deduction. f The taxpayer is not allowed to deduct any personal, living or family expense, any amount spent for improving property, or any expense of restoring property or making good its exhaustion for which an allowance is claimed under depreciation.

Figuring the Tax. Before figuring the normal tax the I dividends are deducted ns credits from ; net income, together with the personal I exemption. As in previous years, divii dends of domestic corporations are ex- ■ ewpt from normal tax when received -by the stockholder. The normal tax rates for citizens ! and residents are us follow - : On the I first $4. !, 00 of net income in excess of the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on ■ tiny further taxable income the rate is 12 per cent. The surtax rates apply 'to net inl come of each individual in excess of 85.000, The personal exemption and the dividends are not deductible before computing surtax. In the case ot returns by husband and Wife, the net income of each is considered separately in computing any surtax that may lie due. Form 1040 should be used for making returns of net income exceeding $5,G00, and the instructions on that form will show how to figure the surtax. Business House Returns. Employers and others who paid wages, salaries, rents, interest or similar d terminable gains in an amount of SI,OOO or over dpring 1918 to any person must file an information return with the Government. Blanks may be secured from the Collector. Every partnership must file a return showing its income and deductions and the name and address of each partner, with his share ,of the profits or losses during the past year. Personal service corporations will file similar information for 1918.

TO LIMIT THEIR POWERS. (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind.. Mar. 3-(Special to Daily Democrat)-That a tendency, to at least reduce the powers and scope of operations of the Indiana publis service commission on the part of at least several members of the state legislature is indicated in the fact that three bills directly as fecting the commission are under consideration in the two branches One bill by Representative Laughlin would establish the public utilities commission. Another house measure would prevent Carl H. Mote, secretary of the commission, or any other person not a commissioner, from taking evidence. The third, and possibly one of the most important measures included in tho appropriation bill, which has been passed by the; house and is now before the senate •here it will be considered by the committee of the whole. Before passupon motion by Representative Smith, reduced the funds allowed the ommission from $109,000 to $75,000. With the salaries of the five commissioners totalling $33,00 per year there would be left only $41.M0 v>ith which to pay all clerks, stenograph-! is and other employes in the hire of he commission. Members of the commission have pointed out that with this amount the j cork of the organization will be ma- . rially handicapped and that it will robably be impossible to conduct the

justness of the commission in as adantageous manner as has been posible during the past few years. Although only’ 575 cases were handd per year under the old regime ■y the commission annually, the reorganized body handed down 2.111 Tilers during the year of 1915, and •eturned to the state treasury $13,000 iut of its appropriation of $109,000 or that year. Although the bill by Representative Laughlin has been reported out of •ommitteee favorably in the house here appears but little doubt of its lefeat even should it reach the sen:e. Under the Furnas rule no bill ■an be reported out of committee in he senate on a divided report. We new handle the famous varentz candy.
