A DRIVE FOR TAXES The following statement is isued iby Collector of Internal Revenue, I William L. Elder: "In this, as in every other section of the country, there will be conducted during the next two months an intensive tux drive for the collection of delinquent sales and other miscellaneous taxes, such as the so-called luxury tax. the soft drink tax, the admission tax, the manufacturer’s tax, the tax on jewelry and works of art, and the tax on toilet articles and proprietary medicines. Reports of laxity on the part of dealers and other persons responsible for the return and collection of these taxes have reached the Bureau of Internal Revenue from many sources. “To remedy this condition, Commissioner William M. Williams has assigned to the work of investigation 175 special revenue officers. These men will compose flying squadrons which will visit every large city in the United States, cooperating with assistant supervisors and field deputies, The total force numbers 2,000. “The drive will be under the im mediate supervision of Collectors of Internal Revenue, and is expected to result in the collection of millions of dollars in delinquent taxes and ; penalties. “Information from the Sales Tax i "nil ot the Bureau of internal Revenue Is that many dealers in soft i drinks and ice cream either are keep- . ing no record of the amount <,t tax collections from such sales, or that I the record is insufficient or incorrect. “Special attention- will be directed to the collection of this tax as well as the tax on toilet articles and proprietary medicines. Through the ’ failure of retailers to collect in full ' the tax of 1 cent for each 25 cents ' or fraction thereof of the amount for which toilet articles and proprietary 1 medicines are sold, it is estimated the government is losing several mil lion dollars annually. The tax is collected by means of stamps ranging from 1 to 40 cents, which the law provides shall be affixed by the deali er. and cancelled. “It is the intention to conduct as thorough and effective a campaign as , possible in such away as to bring to justice willful violators, and cause no embarrassment to merchants and business men who honestly are endeavoring to comply with the reveI nue laws. Discovery of evidence to show willful tax evasion will be followed by prosecutions. In flagrant cases, the bureau will urge the imposition of extreme penalties. For willful refusal .to collect, and pay the tax the penalty is a fine of not more ’ than SIO,OOO, or one year's imprison- ■ m?nt, or both, together with an added assessment equal to the amount , of tax evaded. For failure to make peturn, the penalty is a fine of not more than SI,OOO. "Persons desiring to file amended returns of tax collections for which • they are responsible should do so bei sere government investigation, in which case the policy of the bureau i will be one of leniency. There is great difference between the self-dis- > covered tax delinquent, and the tax evader discovered by the bureau.” I WM.' M. WILLIAMS, Commissioner. ’ Bridge Will Be Built of Steel (Continued from page one) and Adams counties commissioners being held at the auditor’s office this ■ morning. Two bids were filed, they being P. L. Macklin, $22,290.00; Frances C. Goldner, $22,305.00. Mr. Macklin being the lowest bidder the ' contract was awarded to him and Fred Gallmeier was appointed superintendent. New Estimates Ordered The Seth D.

ARTHUR LeBEAU, of Winooski, Vermont, who declares he i is now In the “pink of condition” and enjoying life for the first time in many years as the result of tak- I Ing Tanlac. VR & ~ y / l J—“Thanks to Tanlac 1 am now enjoy-1 ing life for the first time in years,” recently declared Arthur Lebeau, forenan of the Porter Screen Co., Winoski. Vermont. “For five years i j was a sick man. My principal trouble .vas indigestion. I had no appetite ind generally went off to work with-' out any breakfast because I knew it I I ate anything it would only upset me. “My condition was so bad in fact, could neither sleep, eat nor work with any satisfaction and was so ner- j vous that the least thing would upset ne. Nothing seemed to agree with lie and 1 would have severe cramping pains in my stomach and at times my heart would palpitate badly. I also suffered from shortness of breath, and he least little exertion would make ny heart thump like an engine. “At last I almost decided 1 would give up my job as I got so weak and misearable I felt I could stand it no longer. “One night as I sat reading a paper I saw a statement about Tanlac which -envinced me it was just the medicine I needed. It helped me from the very first dose nd at the time I had fin i shed my third bottle, I hardly knew myself. “I never have the slightest symptom of indigestion now and 1 feel like a brand new man in every way. My appetite is splendid, my nerves are steadied and I sleep soundly at night. The work I used to dread now seems >asy for me and I am now in the very rink of condition.’ Os course. I am ;nly to glad to recommend this mediine ” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & FLik’s, in Berne at Stengel & Craig’s and in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch's drug store. SAYS SENATOR PENROSE DOES NOT KNOW WOMEN Mary Roberts Rinehart, a Republican Writer, Criticizes Pennsylvanian. Signs of revolt on the part of republican women are becoming more numerous as the date of the national convention approaches, and the declaration made by Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, famous as author and speaker, that as long as Senator Boies Penrose holds control if the Republican organization in Pennsylvania the women of the state never will receive political recognition reveals the growing discontent. “I do not believe that Senator Penrose dislikes women,” Mrs. Rinehart sa>d in an interview, “but 1 am certain that he does not know women. Consequently he does not understand them, does not sympathize witii them, and has no confidence in them. Every • hit of political recognition that the women of this state will be given they will get in spite of Senator Pen rose, and possibly as a result of | spirited fights with him. Even ! thought they may be given the vote, they have still another obstacle to overcome before they can attain full political powers.” Having expressed her belief that the women of every state in the union would cast their votes at the presidential election in November, she added that thus would be released “a tremendous power which will inject an unprecedented quantify of common sense into national politics.” “Women are! of a very literal frame pf mind,” Mrs Rinehart continued. “Abstractions neither bind nor blind them. They pin their faith to concentrate facts. The rubber-stamp woman will be in the minority.” Mrs. Rinehart has the viewpoint ot! democracy, and evidently realizes that there is something decidedly wrong ! with a political party that retains such a leader as lhe senator, who, if possible, will prevent the political rec ' ognition of women. His blindness to the handwriting on the wall, however, Is likely to assure his retire-] ment when he next asks the voters of Pennsylvania to send him back to the, reat in which he fails tn represent one-half of the residents of his state.

HELD FAST TO THOSE FISH Indianapolis Man Was Taking No Chances of Losing the Prizes He Had Secured. Tom Genolln, of the railway mnll I service, tells n thrilling story of how I once upon a time ho was tempted and ; fell; how In the enrly hours of morning he slipped uwny to a “posted" stream and drew from thence five of the most beautiful buss ever seen. The climax of his story reads thus: “The glorious day was peeping and creeping through the silent trees when I gathered up my bunch of beauties mid started homeward. I hud not goae fur when I laid them In ! a clump of gruss while I filled my pipe. When I started to pick them up again lo and behold they were gone. A slight stir under a nearby bush brought visions of some prowling thief and I threw myself prone upon the bush and clutched for the place where the fish might be. That is when I awoke and gathered myself i up from the bedroom floor where I lay clutching a jangling alarm clock." Mr. Genolln thus ends the story: “The tragic and unbelievable part of my story is yet to be told. The day after the Incident related I went to the pool concerning which I had dreamed and there I flshed precisely is I fished in my dream and I caught live beautiful buss precisely as I had caught them In my dream and, lastly, I returned home with them, but not mice did I lay them down in a clump ot grass.”—lndianapolis News. — CALL FOR A NATIONAL CRY — Great Need In This Country, ’Tia Said, for an Explosive, Expressive Yell. American audiences are charged I with being unresponsive and apathetic, particularly In patriotic outdoor demonstrations, Americans are not incapable of making loud, loyal noises, and not averse thereto. But rarely is a parade staged In this city that does not tnove throughout a large part of its course between silent lines of spectators. The result is sometimes so depressing as largely to neutralize the desired effect of the parade. The will to cheer doubtless arises nil along the Uno, but there Is no short and easily exploded yell known to us. “Hurrah,” is the traditional American i word for cheer, but no man will venture its use in public, unless in the wake of a cheer leader who prefaces it with a “hip, hip, hip!” Even then the usual response testifies that this method of cheering is getting rusty. There is no lack of cheering on an American football field, nor at any kind of a demonstration on a college campus. The reason for this is that good, expressive, explosive yells have been devised for outdoor use. And because they do explode, and because they stand for something, the American public likes to use them. They also like to follow it good yell leader. America needs a national yell. The man who can coin one will do the country a great service.—Minneapolis Journal. s—s■—s—-WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s 'loud be surprised if you knew how many people are drinking' Instant POSTUM instead of coffee " There's a Reason \ —X- j l«T*«T#| ® POSTUM’ When You Go on your vacation get a I box of your favorite I cigars—from Lose Bros. 11 1 I' s We have the largest I ■ t assortment in the city, 1 0 and we know how to | e keep them in proper condition, which means satisfaction « < tucked away in each box for you. : $ At the Sign “UINITED” I i tl

NAVY OFFERS ENLISTMENT TO YOUNG MEN OF DECATUR H. Morgan, chief quartermaster of the navy recruiting office in Fort Wayne is in the city and will remain the remainder of the week in the interest of navy recruiting. The navy is now offering many new ■ipportunities to men to enlist and follow the sea. All navy trade schools are open to men who enlist now and with the new increase in pay which was authorized by congress on May 18, makes the navy life a very desirable life. Upon enlistment men are given a free outfit of clothing and sent to a trade school any that they choose and paid from $33 to S4B a month, all of which is clear paj’ with board and free medical attention. Men 17 to 35 years are eligible for enlistment in the navy for a period of two. three or four years. Exservice men can enlist and will be paid $lB per month to start and will not be sent to a training station at all. but direct to a sea going ship for duty. Ex-navy men who have not been out of the navy over a year upon reenlistment retain their continuous service and will receive four months’ pay at the rate they were discharged and reenlistment pay also. The navy is also under a new policy starting a summer school at Great Lakes, Illinois, the world's greatest naval training school which will consist of a six weeks’ course for men between the ages of sixteen and twenty years. In this course boys will be enrolled in the naval reserve force, and will during the six weeks’ course receive the pay of apprentice seamen in the navy, $33 per month. This of fers a splendid opportunity to boys to take naval training during the summer and at the same time be paid for it. Ask the recruiting officer about the navy and summer school; also about the new pay bill. The recruiting officer will be in I) catur Thursday. Friday and Saturday. TWO VIEWS OF WOMEN AS POLITICAL FACTORS Nothing better illustrates the dis fer nee between the democratic and the republican attitude toward the women voters of the country than the | New York delegations to the two na tional conventions. While there are two women dele | gat»s-at-large from the state and! I forty-two women alternates for the democratic convention, only two wo-1 men district delegates and nineteen women alternates will attend the republican convention. This contrast in the way of recognizing the new voters shows exactly the relative positions] of the two parties. On the one hand the democrats, forward looking, recognize the progress of the world toward the realization of the dream of c government by “the people, for the c people. ” To them is due largely the! credit of legislation that has hastened | .he enfranchisement of women, and heir support of suffrage iias no’ ended in aiding half the citizenship of the country to obtain the vote.

WORKS HARD TO AVERT FLU EPIDEMIC ■ Government and City Health Officials Warn People to Keep Clean, Stay Away from People with Coughs and Colds. — “Avoid crowds if you want to avoid influenza,” says Association for Improving the Conditions of New York. Keep your hands clean, drink plenty of fresh water; sleep with windows open; eat three uniform meals a day including a good breakfast. , People who have catarrh or frequent colds invite Influenza, declares a prominent Kentucky druggist. The membrane of the throat and nose is raw, sore and tender, ' and makes a lovely abiding place ; for germs to thrive and multiply. He advises an inexpensive homemade remedy that will bring relief in less than a day and will stop all discharge and sooth and heal the inflamed in a few days. Thousands are making this beneficial remedy at home and anyone who has catarrh or a cold can do the same. e - Pour three-quarters of an ounce of Mentholized Arcine into a pint bottle, then fill the bottle with water that has been boiled. Gargle the throat as directed and snuff or spray the liquid into the nostrils twice daily. It’s a simple way to get rid of cold and catarrh and keeps the nasal passage and throat clean and healthy. Nearly all druggists dispense Mentholized Arcine in vials containing exactly- three-quarters of an ounce, which is all you need to i make a pint of this healthful medicine. ’ A v J is the dentrifice that contains the properties recommended as ideal by United States Army dental surgeons e i MOOSE, NOTICE!
