After-Effects of Flu More Dangerous Thau Flu Itself One of the peculiarities of influenza is that its toxins leave the digestive system upset. Constant •‘dosing’’ for the colds which come so frequently after flu-attacks still further disturbs the digestion and lessens the appetite, just when the body needs nourishment more than ever. } * And yet these colds are so apt to develop into bronchitis or pneumonia that they must be treated at the first sign. Vicks Vapoßub is especially valuable here, because it is applied extemally and so can be used freely with no risk of upsetting a delicate digestion. Just rub it on the throat and chest at bedtime.—Advertisement.

Two Hindus were killed in Sunday’s rioting. The Pathans, a high caste of India, often have been accused in fantastic and baseless rumors of burying boys in the foundations of new buildings.

All shops in the mill district were closed today, and it was estimated that 100.000 were out of work. Schools were closed and mothers kept their children indoors. It was estimated that 30,0fd men armed with sticks and othe’ weapons hunted the mill areas, fc laboring suspects.

PROPOSE TAX ON AMUSEMENT AND TOBACCO Farm Bureau Seeks Bills to Balk Boost in Prop* erty Levy. Proposals for a sales tax on tobacco. amusements and' corporation stocks to raise approximately $5,500,000 annually and avert an increase in the 23-cent state tax levy confronted members of the Indiana legislature as they returned to the capital today for the fourth week of the general assembly. From two angles came renewed efforts to avoid the threatened 7cent property tax increase. Senator French Clements of Evansville introduced a resolution calling for‘appointment of a committee of six to study and approve a state sales tax revenue program. Three Taxes Proposed At the same time, William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, announced the federation will sponsor introduction of three bills this week proposing to levy: 1. A 10 per cent tax on the retail value of cigars and cigarets, to raise $2,000,000 annually. 2. A 10 per cent tax on motion picture shows and all other amusements, to raise $2,000,000 annually. 3. A fee of one-twentieth of 1 per cent on corporation stocks, to raise $1,500,000 annually. Settle intends to confer with Governor Harry G. Leslie and AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden before submitting the three bills for introduction. 2 Cents on Cigarets A bill introduced in the senate ten days ago by Senator Joe Ranci Beckett of Indianapolis authorized appointment of a commission to investigate the feasibility of substituting a general sales tax for the property tax, but its recommendations would not be returned until 1931. Clement’s resolution, however, seeks action this session, it would include as two members of the committee Sneaker James M. Knapp and Lieutenant-Governor Edgar G. Bush. The farm bureau's tobacco tax measure would levy a tax of 1 cent on 10-cent cigars, 2 cents on a package of popular priced cigarets and 2 .mills each on higher priced cigarets. Sporting events and theatricals would be subject to the 10 per cent amusement tax, but amateur performances of all kinds would be exempted. Expenses Increased Details of the bill to tax corporation stocks are not completed. Unless state revenues are increased from some other source, the general property tax must be boosted to -approximately 30 cents, budget committee members have admitted. The state is using up its reserve at the rate of $2,500,000 a year and expenditures probably will be increased at least $1,500,000 annually by appropriations made by the current assembly. The farm bureau will recommend that any funds raised by its three bills in excess of requirements be used to reduce the tax lavy below 23 cents.

CITES HISTORY AS PROOF OF WHALEJEAST Jonah Swallowed by Sea Monster, Declares Minister. The whale did swallow Jonah, literally and in whole, and the modernists can thunder “no” to that statement all they please—the Bible says it's so and that's that. This was the stand taken this afternoon by Dr. Gerald B. Winrod, founder and directing figure of the Defenders of the Christian Faith, in annual national convention at Cadle tabernacle. Dr. Winrod, however, went farther. He declared that science couldn't dispute the possibility of the whale's feat, and cited the strange case of Seaman James Bartley, who emulated Jonah in 1891 by surviving in a whale’s stomach for thirty-six hours. Emphasizes Stand Emphasizing his stand on a literal interpretation of the Bible, Dr. Winrod declared the narrative of Jonah and the whale was# a historical fact, and not mythology. “The gastric juices in a whale’s stomach would not have killed Jonah,” he declared. “That statement was proved in 1891 when James Bartley, a seaman, fell from a ship and was swallowed by a whale. carried in the whale’s stomach for thirty-six hours, and was rescued thirty-six hours later. “There is as much Evidence to support the narrative of Jonah and the whale as there is of the resurrection of Christ. Both involve miracles,” he said. Sounds Keynote Dr. Winrod sounded the keynote of the convention when he announced that the organization’s entire resources would be used in a campaign to drive the teaching of the evolution theory from the elementary schools. “We realize,” he said, “the benefit of science, and that we can not pull evolution up from scientific root fabric without destroying other things worth while. “However, w'e believe that if evolution is taught, it should be in the universities and colleges and then as a working hypothesis.” The convention will continue all week, with three meetings a day in the tabernacle. Prominent speakers will address all sessions.
