UNCLE SAM LIKES BEER AHDJVHISKEY He Is Also Very Fond of Cigars, Cigarettes and Chewing Tobacco.

A REVENUE REPORT U. S. Getting to Like Spirits Better than Beer, the Report Shows. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. A Bevere Jolt to temperance is administered in the annual report of Commissioner of Internal Revenues, Royal E. Cabell, to the Secretary of the Treasury which was made public today. The report disclosed the fact that the country, if judged by that standard of morality set up by temperance advocates, was rapidly going to the demolition bow-wows, with every man, wo man and child apparently in a fair way to fall heir to an annual apportionment of a barrel of beer, several gallons of spirits and enough tobacco in the form of cigarets, cigars and "chewing,' to comfortably smoke his or her Keif to death were the annual output of the manufacturers of these coinmod'tiee to be equally divided per capita. The commissioner's report showed, for instance, that there were enough cigarets produced during the fiscal year to circle the earth more than a hundred times if they were all taken from their respective wrappers and laid end to end, and these be it under stood were only those cigarets on which taxes were paid by the manufacturers. The taxed output of snuff, chewing and cigars made of tobacco would bring the per capita allotment of this weed up to many pounds or many hundredweight were the women and children eliminated from the suppositious equation. Our Taste Is Changing. The report goes on to state that the total taxed output of fermented liquors, including beer, ale, etc., was 62,176.C94 barrels, a decrease of 1,106,429 barrels from the fiscal year. To make up for this apparent loss of appetite among our beer drinking generation however, Commissioner Cabell states that "the fiscal year ended June 30, 1912 witnessed the largest production of distilled spirits in the history of the country. The taxed production of this commodity, according to the report, was 178, 249,985 taxable gallons, exceeding the largest previous production, which was for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, by 2,847,590.5 gallons. These figures were compiled to include only the spirits distilled from material other than fruit and therefore do not include many wines and cordials. The total production of spirits was 187,571,808 gallons. The sum total of these figures together with other taxable products go to make up the best record of internal revenue collections with the exception ofthe fiscal year of 1911, since the year of 1866 and exceeded record set by that year by 11,495 446.56. The total receipts of the bureau for the present fiscal year fas $321,615, 894.69. Of this amount, ordinary sources, including the tribute levied on the beer, whiskey and tobacco produced, $293,032,634.88, an increase over the previous fiscal year of $4,017,860.15, and from the special excise tax on corporations there was collected $28,583,259.81, a decrease of $4,928,265.19, making a net decrease from the collections of 1911 of $910,405.04. Corporation Tax Falls. The decrease in the amount of corporation tax collected in 1912 says the commissioner, was due to the fact that of the corporation tax assessed on returns of corporations for the calendar year 1909, the first year of the law, nearly six and a half million dollars could not be collected until July 1, 1910, which fell in the government's fiscal year 1913 at approximately $326,000,000, appropriating to ordinary sources $297,000,000 and to the corporation tax, $29,000,000. Deviating from his figures for the fiscal year, the commissioner states that the total number of corporations filing returns for the 1911 calendar year was $288,352, which was $18,150 in excess of the number which made PIMPLY WELL, DON'T BE! People Notice It. Drive Them Off With Olive Tablets. A pimply face will not embarass you much longer if you pet a package of Dr. Edward's Olive Tablets. The pimples will vanish after you have taken the tablets a few nights. Nothing ever cleansed the blood, the bowers and the liver like Olive Tablets. Olive Tablets are the only successful substitute for calomel they oil the bowels: there's never any sickness or pain after taking them. Olive Tablets do all that calomel does and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with a "dark browu taste," a bad breath, a dull, listless, 'no good" feling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face. Olive Tablets are made of pure vegetable compounds mixed with olive oil. Dr. Esmonds spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints, and Olive Tablets are the Immensely effective result. Try them. Take one nightly for a week. Then look at yourself in the pi ass and see how you feel. 10c and 25c per box. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, Ohio. (Advertisement) '

A STITCH IN TIME

Richmond People Should Not Negleat Their Kidneys. No kidney ailment is unimportant. Don't overlook the slightest backache or urinary irregularity. Nature may be warning you of approaching dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease. Kidney disease is seldom fatal if treated in time, but neglect may pave the way. Don't neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular or discolored urine, headaches, weariness or depression. If you feel you need kidney help begin using the reliable, time-tried remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills. For 50 years, Doan's have been found effective. Endorsed by Richmond people. Mrs. J. C. Genn, 522 N. 16th St., Richmond, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are alright. Whenever any of us have any symptoms of kidney trouble such as backache and disordered kidneys, Doan's Kidney Pills give relief." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

These corporations had a total capital stock of $60,067,148,925.42. They reported a total indebtedness of $32,163,537,961.40 aud an aggregate net income of $3,213,707,248.82. An increase in the capital stock over the calendar year of 1910 was shown to the extent of over two billion dollars and in the indebtedness of that year of over one billion dollars. The figures of 1911 show a decrease in the net income of these corporations of $146,543,394.83. In respect to the corporation tax law the commissioner says: "It is evident that the increase of corporations doing business is naturally very great and under present business conditions this increase is liable to continue. Thte natural consequence should be that the special excise tax on corporations should be a source of constantly increasing revenues."

A. G. Luken. Advertisement EVOLUTION OF THE PIANO. From the First Crude Instrument to Its Present Perfection. In the beginning the piano was a harp shaped piece of wood, having two or three strings. From time to time more strings were added until the cithara was Invented. This was an instrument in the shape of a capital P. with ten strings stretched, across the open space. Many centuries afterward musicians conceived the Idea of stretching strings across an open box. About the year 12C0 this was done, the dulcimer made its appearance, and the strings were struck with hammers. For another hundred years or so these hammers were held in the hands, and then some genius Invented a keyboard, which, being struck by the lingers, caused the hammers to strike the strings. This was called a clavicytherium, or keyed cithara, and from time to time it was modified and improved. During Queen Elizabeth's time it was called a virginal and then a spinet, because the hammers were covered with the spines of quills, which struck and caucrht the strings and produced the sound. During the period between 1700 and 1800 It was much improved and enlarged and was given the name of harpsichord. It was in 1710 that Bartholomeo Chrlstofoll, an Italian, invented a keyboard similar to the one we have now, which causes the hammers to strike the wires from above, and thus developed the piano. During the last century the inventive genius of musicians the world over has revised and improved it until it has reached the present day perfection. Exchange. MIGRATION OF WEEDS. How a Seed Ripened In Asia May Take Root In America. Weeds migrate as well as men. According to the best authorities, there are alrecdy 600 varieties at least of weeds in New England that were not to be found there when the country was first settled. Within less than twenty -five years after the landing of the pilgrims one observer counted more than forty new weeds the Europeans had brought them. Nature employs all sorts of methods for spreading life about the planet and does not seem to care whether the life is that of a weed or of a plant fit for human use. Indeed, it uses such unromautic material as old rubber overshoes for seed carriers, as many new weeds have appeared in a valley in Connecticut since a factory was established there that found use for such castoff things. The overshoes come from all parts of the world. The cloth lining: is torn out before the rubber is used, and from the seeds that have found lodgment in such an apparently unpromising place plants have growu on the dump heap, and their seeds have found fertile soil, multiplied and flourished. What a romance there is in the life of such a seed ripened, perhaps, in Asia, trodden in the mud and carried on board ship on the feet of a passenger, thence taken to Europe, where it was picked up by the boot of an American, was finally dislodged in the overshoe and found its germinating place In ConnecticutChicago Record-Herald.

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. The Lyric. Tonight "As You Like It." Gennett Theater. 17 "Mutt and Jeff.' Dec. "As You Like It," the Shakesperean play which possesses the most universal appeal, will be seen in motion pictures at the Lyrjc this afternoon and evening. No one should miss the opportunity of seeing this great play presented through this medium especially as it has a cast made up of leading actors. Rose Coghlan, one of whose most famous roles is "Rosalind," will play that part and Maurice Costello will also appear. The public should not miss this opportunity of seeing a great play. "Mutt and Jeff." Looking clown the line of past productions of cartoon plays, there is one name that looms up as the producer of practically all the successful ones. It's no secret! Gus Hill, has picked all of the winners in that particular class of plays. "Mutt and Jeff," although still young, has the record over all of them. This has been a season of a great number of successful productions. New York has a dozen hits. Unfortunately there are so many that the patronage is not sufficient to make all of the deserving ones pay. This did not prove the case when "Mutt and Jeff" was at the Grand Opera House or the Manhattan opera house, New York, where it walked away with the record business of the year. "Mutt and Jeff" with their entire family of singers, dancers and fun-makers comes to the Gennett Tuesday, Dec. 17. The Murrette. Today is the inauguration of Christmas Greetings week at this popular picture theater. Six carefully selected programs will be presented during the week which have been personally selected by the management in honor of the occasion. Every day this week will be feature day. For today the program includes a wonderful Tanhauser drama entitled "Aurora Floyd." i This is their newest two reel feature and is said to be a masterpiece. "The Baby and the Cop" and "Rough On Rats" are two excellent comedies booked for today. CASCAROYAL-PILLS CORRECT. Most laxative and cathartic medicines tend to aggravate constipation.

Then Broke It In Pieces and Floated Them on Liquid Air. A frozen soap bubble broken in two and floating like an iridescent, transparent eggshell on the surface of a vessel of liquid air was one of the marvels exhibited by Professor Dewar in a lecture before the Royal institute of Great Britain. The lecture was upon the subject of atmosphere and the curious effects of intense cold, the liquid air and soap bubble being adjuncts introduced to facilitate some explanations. A few spoonfuls of liquid air were poured into a vessel, and the intense cold caused by evaporation immediately brought on a minature snowstorm in the atmosphere directly above the vessel. A soap bubble was then placed in the freezing stratum. Almost instantly there was a change in the color of the transparent globe, the bubble becoming much darker; the movements of the rainbows film grew slower; it contracted somewhat in size, and a little later it froze. A slight but dexterous movement of the rod upon which the bubble was suspended broke the latter into two pieces, which fell upon the liquid air and there floated for an hour, gradually accumulating a tiny snowdrift from the almost imperceptible precipitation constantly going on in the freezing atmosphere above.

TO CHANGE THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT

Rush and Shelby Counties Want Their Own Circuit Courts Established. (Palladium Special) RUSHVILLE, Ind., Dec. 16. There is a very strong possibility that the sixteenth judicial district, composed of Rush and Shelby counties, will be sliced by the next Indiana state legislature. Democratic attorneys here are working zealously for a change in the judicial circuit, and it said that no Republican attorneys will oppose the movement. The Idea is to get more time for court here. All attorneys favor the plan. Ruahville attorneys are said to be very willing to assist Shelbyville attorneys for the establishment of a court there, believing that Rush county will be left as separate circuit or else placed with some county in which there is little court business so that the court would have more time to spend In this county. It is believed that if Shelby county is made a separate court, Rush will be allowed to go it alone or will be placed with Franklin county. In case Shelby county is cut loose from Rush, it will mean the appointment of a judge by Governor Ralston. The Parrot Fish. There are water parrots as well as land parrots. The parrot fish come from the tropics, are brilliantly colored and have beaks something like those of the parrot, for use in breaking off the coral shell In order to get at the living polyp. Not all of them, however, live on animal food, some species being herbivorous. One species is found in the Mediterranean sea, where It has been known for thousands of years. The Greeks and Romans regarded it for a time as the first of fishes, and Pliny tells us how it was introduced into the Italian sea in the course of the reign of Claudius. It was known as the "scarus" by the ancients, who told some wonderful stories about its love, its wisdom and its rumination. Some having a length of sixteen inches have been captured alive. Doncaster Races. Doncaster is one of the four places the other three being Chester, Epsom and Lincoln that claim to be the cradle of the British turf. In May, 1600. the minutes of the corporation record that "Hugh Wyrrall hath caused a stoope." or post, "to bo sett on Doncaster More at the west end of the horse-race," wbich was ordered to be "cutt down." A few years later "for the preventinge of sutes. quarrells. murders and bloodsheds" It was agreed "that the race on' Doncaster More be discontinued." Eventually the corporation, with the true Yorkshire i cc.evhined love of "f brass" and sport. took the horse racing under its pa triarcbal care and turned the meeting into a source of profit.

ROUTED THE "ROGUE." A Bad Elephant, a Lighted Lamp and a Lucky Blew. An odd experience fell to the lot of three men who were on a tiger bunting expedition in India. To prevent the invasion of mosquitoes and other insects that would be attracted by the light in their quarters the heavy cotton curtain which formed the door of the tent was closed.

and the three friends were chatting ! across the table when suddenly the whole teut shook, and as they looked round to see the cause the heavy curtain was roughly snatched away, and in the open doorway appeared the head of a b!g elephant. The men had no time to catch up their rifles. They knew by the appearance of the animal that be meant mischief. Lifting up the roof of the tent with his head he threateningly swung out his trunk at the man nearest him. At this the hunter sprang to his feet and. seizing the lighted lamp from the tuble. hurled it with all bis strength against the animal's forehead. The glass broke at the blow, and the blazing oil covered the animal's trunk with a sheet of flame. With a cry of terror the beast drew frantically back, shook off the curtain and fled across the country, vanquish ed by a single blow from an oil lamp. , It was a fortunate act, for the animal j wa6 no doubt a "rogue" and would j probably have killed one or more of j the men. Exchange. I MODES OF TRAVEL From the Jaunting Car to the Modern Electric Railway. The first jaunting car was established in Ireland in 1815 by a Milanese, Carlo Bianconi. who settled in Dublin and drove every day to Caher and back, charging twopence a mile. From this small beginning in 1S37 he had established sixty-seven conveyances, drawn by 900 horses. The extension of modern manufacturing towns and cities demanded still greater conveniences, which were supplied at first by the omnibus lines, which up to 1860 were the chief means of urban and interurban transportation. To these succeeded the street railroad, traversed by cars drawn by one or more horses, and these In turn became wholly inadequate to meet the demand of the suburban districts. The cable car, drawn by underground cable, was the next Innovation, but this about 1SSO to 1S90 was supplanted by the electric trolley lines, and these isgain were supplemented In many cities by elevated and subway lines in which the cars were propelled by electricity supplied by a third rail. This latter device has already been applied to extended lines of railroads, and It Is not unlikely that the present century will witness the electrification of most of the railroad lines in thickly settled countries.

COROT SAVED THE TILE.

He Turned a High Hat Tragedy Into Work of Art. An Interesting relic of Co ret is to be seen in the gallery of a picture dealer in the Champs Klysees. It takes the form of a wooden frame inclosing a gray high hat of a style "now forgotten quite." A card explains that "this landscape in the crown of the hat is guaranteed to be a genuine work of Corot. One sees In the hat a rapid study of the artist. Th artist has utilized the blue silk lining cf the hat to Improvise a beautiful sky of summer reflected in the peaceful water below. Upon the bank are three trees and a picturesque Saracen tower, while white clouds among the bide complete the scene. Readers must not Jump to the conclusion that this hat landscape is an example of the eccentricity of genius. It is the result of what appeared to be the tragedy of a "white- hat which belonged to a friend of the master. The friend, calling on Corot. happened to place his brand new hat near the eaMl. In extending the hand Co rot's brush fell into the hat, leaving an indelible mark. A cry of despair followed, not exactly that which a high authority has told us is uttered when husbands or lap dogs breathe their last, but nevertheless it was a despairing cry. "My hat is spoiled:" "Not at all." said Corot. bursting into a hearty laugh. "I will soon put that all right." The painter brushed away the daub caused by the accident, and in a few minutes the picture was complete, and the owner of the hat left the studio with a much more valuable chapean than that with which he entered. London Globe. The Retort Political. One of the first secretaries of agriculture was a man of great shrewdness and anility, which were not incompatible with a certain slow footed ease. He was known to be late at cabinet meetings, where tardiness is a serious breach of etiquette. Oue day when he came into a meeting a minute or two late oue of the other secretaries, thinking to give a helpful rebuke, said: "Hello: Here comes the tail of the administration." The secretary slid leisurely into his seat and then answered: "Well, the tail may come in handy some day to brush the flies off the rest of the administration." CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
