GAS TAX REVENUE IS NEARLY THREE MILLION DOLLARS In December $353,674 Is Collected on ‘Golden Rule’ System. State cbllection of gasoline taxes since the passage of the new revenue law now total $2,906,428.25, Charles Benjamin, chief of the State gasoline tax department, reported today. The December collections were $353,674.14. Revenue from the department goes to the State highway department for purpose of building and maintaining roads. Total collections to date have neared in seven months what members of the General Assembly anticipated would be reached in one year, according to Benjamin. Golden Ku> System A “Golden Rule” system of collection has been adopted by the dejiartment. Wholesale dealers send in the 2-cent collections monthly. No tax collectors are employed. The revenue will reach a total of approximately $4,500,000 in a year's pe"iod, Benjamin predicted. That this State is seventh in number of automobiles is an important factor, it is pointed out. in the success of the tax. According to the Automobile Industries Magazine, there were 582,882 machines in Indiana Dec. 31, 1923. New York tops the list with 1,093,660 cars: Ohio, 1,072,750; Pennsylvania, $1,064,625; Illinois, 969,092; Michigan, 728,327 and Texas, 688.899. 200,000,000 Gallons Used An estimate of the total gasoline consumption last year is gained from the annual report of I. L. Miller, State !ood and drug commissioner, under whose supervision all oil pumps are inspected for correct measurements. Approximately 200,000,000 gallons of gasoline were used in Indiana for gensral purposes, he estimates, most of which is measured through some type >f pump. If the pumps averaged three ounces short, gas users would pay a bill of 51,000,000 annually. The State inspectors checked up on 6,477 pumps, 648 of which were found inaccurate in measure.

UHEIS MUST HIE PLENTY OF WATER Kidney and bladder Irritations often result from acidity, says a noted authority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to Irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer in is constant dread; the WRter passes sometimes with a scald lng sensation and is very profuse again, there is difficulty in voiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again. ■Tad Salts Is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and Ipeion juice, combined with lithia, ;tnd Is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves ■cent lithia-water drink which may quickly relieve jour bladder irritation.
