BEYOND PAGES OF HISTORY Primitive Race of Man Existed in Africa Before Years Began to Be Counted. A primitive race of men existed In Couth Africa, according to a recent Interesting discovery of Dr. Broom of Germiston. This scientist’s archaeological and geological researches have made his name famous "to scientists In Europe and America. Some time ago,.. a hot spring was discovered thirty miles north of Bloemfontein and in the course of operations designed to open up the eye of the spring, it was to tunnel into a sandhill. the trend of operations the workmen came upon a quantity of mammalian remains associated with human" implements and a quantity of charred wood. The significance of the discovery was not realized by the first finders, but, fortunately, a Dutch lady In the district suspected that they had scientific value, and prevented the finds from being dispersed. Dr. Broom went down and examined them. He found that the bones were chiefly those of hippopotami eland, bubauls baini (the huge extinct buffalo of South Africa, whose horns used to attain a span of 12 feet), equls capensis (ths gigantic Cape horses long since extinct 3 which far exceeded the Clydesdale in size), an extinct variety of wild beasts, the wart hog, and a' number of small buck. Previous discoveries had caused scientists to believe that man had lived in South Africa contemporaneously with the extinct giant buffalo, but the proors available were Inconclusive. Dr. Broom regards this discovery as proving their co-existence beyond doubt A CLERGYMAN’S TESTIMONY. The Rev. Edmund Heslop of Wigton, Pa., suffered from Dropsy for a year. His limbs and feet were swollen and puffed. He had hijart flutter-

lag, was dizzy and exhausted at the least exertion. Hands and feet were cold and he had such a dragging sensation across the loins that it was difficult to move. After using 5 boxes of Dodds

BREAKING OUT ON LEG Hilltop* Kan.—“About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but I •oon it began to spread until it formed large blotches. The Itching was terrible and almost constant Many sights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the itching it would burn so dreadfully that I thought J could not stand it For nearly a year I tried jail kinds of salves •nd ointment, but found no relief. Some salves seemed to make it worse cntil there were ugly sores, which would break open and run. “One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and began by washing the sores ■with the Cuticura Soap, then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day. I noticed a change and got more Cuticura Soap and Ointment and in a few weeks I was cured. It has healed so nicely that no scar remains.” (Signed) Mrs. Anna A. Lew, Dec. 17, 1911.

Unmanufactured articles remain at 10 per cent NEW INCOME TAX STARTS AT $4,000 Elaborate Provision for Graduated Payment System In New Tariff Bill. Washington, D. C. —Included In the Democratic tariff revision bill Is an Income tax section, which would require every resident of the United States who earns more than 84.000 a year to pay a tax of 1 per cent, on his earnings In excess of the exemption. This would not compel the man who earn® only $4,000 to pay a tax, but it would demand that one who earned $4,100, for example, pay Into the government treasury an annual tax of 1 per cent, on SIOO, or sl. The bill also would provide higher rates of taxation for persons with larger Incomes, adding a surtax of 1 per cent, additional on earnings in excess of $20,000; 2 per cent, additional on earnings In excess of $50,000, and 8 per cent, additional on earnings In excess of SIOO,OOO. How Surtax Would Be Imposed. Under the surtax provisions the man who earns $20,000 would pay to the government each year at the rate of 1 per cent, on $16,000 ($4,000 exempt), or $l6O. If he earns $30,000 he would pay 1 per cent, an $16,000, and 2 per cent, on SIO,OOO, making his annual tax $360. The person with a $50,000 Income would pay 1 per cent on $16,000 and 2 per cent, on $30,000 —a total tax of $760. The man with an Income of SIOO,OOO would be required to pay 1 per cent, on $16,000, 2 per cent, on SBO,OOO, and 8 per cent, on $50,000, which would be $1,500, bringing his total Income tax to $2,260. Anyone with a net Income of a million would pay this $2,260 on his first SIOO,OOO and In addition he would pay 4 per cent on $900,000, which would bring Ms total tax to $38,260. This bill also would re-enact the present corporation tax law, Imposing a 1 per cent tax on the earnings of corporations, stock companies, insurance companies and ths like, but it would exempt partnerships. This Is a flat tax, there being no graduated scale as the earnings Increase. The few changes from the present corporation tax act concern chiefly the time of making returns and the time for collection. The bill Includes under Its provisions the property and earnings In this country of persons who live abroad. May Bring In $100,000,000. It Is estimated by members of the ways and means committee that approximately $100,000,000 In revenue may be derived from tMs new tax. Including the corporation tax, that amount making up for the deficit in

Incomes of taxable persons shaU Include gains, promts and Income dw rived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal service of whatever kind and In whatever form paid, or from professions, vocations, business, trade, commerce or sales or dealings in property, also from Interest, rent, dividends, securities, Including Income from property.

Interest accrued and payable within the year by a taxable person on Indebtedness; all national, state, county, school and municipal taxes, not Including local benefit taxes; losses incurred in trade or from fires, storms or shipwreck not compensated by Insurance or otherwise; debts actually ascertained as worthless and chared off; also reasonable allowance for wear and tear on property; but no de-, duction will be allowed for expense of restoration 6”r Improvements made' to Increase property value. It excepts also, In computing net Income, amounts received as dividends upon the stock of any corporation, joint stock company, association or insurance company which Is taxable upon Its net income under the corporation tax provision of the bill. The bill excludes the compensation of the president of the United States during his term, that of judges ’of the Supreme and Inferior courts of the United States, and compensation of all officers and employes of a state or any political subdivision thereof. System of Collection Framed. It establishes a system of collection of the tax at its source, requiring all persons,. firms, copartnerships, companies, corporations, joint stock companies, associations or insurance companies, and all trustees, executors, administrators, receivers, etc., and officers and employes of the United States having the control or disposal of salaries, wages, Interest and other profits and income of another person to withhold and pay to the collector of internal revenue the amount of Income tax due from such person. All such persons or firms are made personally liable for such tax. Persons or corporations liable to make return on Incomes who fail to do so at a specified time, are made liable to a fine not exceeding SSOO and the penalty for false or fraudulent returns is fixed at SI,OOO or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. “In formulating this additional impost,” said Chairman Underwood in his report, “the attempt has been made to provile not only a source of revenue, but also a means of redressing in some measure the unequal tax burdens which result from the practice of basing the federal Income entirely upon customs and internal revenue duties. This is a system of taxation which Inevitably throws the burden of supporting the government upon the shoulders of the consumers. It correspondingly exempts the men of larger income, whose consumption of the ordinary necessaries of life is subject to tariff taxation in a far less aggregate degree than is that of smaller Income earners, who expend the greater proportion of their resources for the ordinary necessaries of life." Underwood Defend* Plan. Speaking of the principle of taxation laid down and the graduated system proposed, Mr. Underwood declared: “The progressive principle already has been sustained by the Supreme court of the United States In the Inheritance tax cases and there can be no doubt that the same principle applies to the Income tax included In this bill and will be fully upheld should It ever be called into question. Owing to defects in personal property taxation, the larger Incomes In the United States have for many years been able to escape with less than their share of the general burden of taxation, and this Inequity will be, it Is believed, In part overcome by the plan proposed.” The bill provide* that all taxable persons shall be notified of the amount for which they are liable under the law on or before the Ist day of June of each year and assessments must be paid on or before June 30. For delay in making payments and ten day* after notice, there shall be added the nm of 5 per cent, of the amount of tev unpaid and Interest at the rate of 1 per cent, a month from the time the tax fell due. The corporation tax provision. It 1* directed, shall be computed upon Income for the year ending December 31, 1913, and for each calendar year thereafter. It 1* provided, however, that corporations may designate the last day of any month a* the day of the closing of the fiscal year and may have the tax computed on the basis of net Income ending on its designated day. All labor, agricultural, horti-, cultural, fraternal, religious and mutual benefit societies ar* made exempt from the tax. Has the Earmark*.

WHAT DAWSON MISSED PAWNBROKER ALSO OVERLOOKED A “GOOD THING.” As It Turned Out, Suit Was Really Worth More Than the $5 Which “Uncle” Grudgingly Gave Up for Collateral. At 7 o'clock Dawson yawned, turned J over, then yawned again. Stimulated mentally by physical exertion, he beI gan to think. Apparently his mind did I not dwell on pleasant themes, for he ; groaned dismally. “Broke,” he said; “dead broke, and ; nobody to borrow from. What beats me is how I blew in all that money 1 started out with last night. I could ; swear I put some of it away for safe- ; keeping, only it ain’t here. I recollect ■ that I turned my pockets inside out I the last thing before 1 went to bed and it wasn't there.” \ j For proof that Dawson's recollection ■I in regard to his pockets was correct he i had only to look at his clothes, which J were scattered about the floor. The pockets were still turned inside out They hung limp and empty. Clearly “it” was not there. “There’s only one way out,” Dawson decided. “I’ve got to pawn something Dawson opened his closet door. On the nearest hook hung a new suit that had been brought home from the tailor's two days before. “That’s the thing,”- he said. Dawson folded his suit neatly into a paper box, dressed as hurriedly as his : shaky condition would allow, and head ed guiltily for a loan office. “Will you let me have $lO on these things?” he asked. The broker shook put the suit with | an air of aggravating disrespect. I “Ten dollars?” he said. “Why, there ain't $lO worth of goods in ’em. I'll let ; you have $5. That the best I can do.” Dawson looked with diminished adI miration on the suit of clothes which, i incasing his own trim figure, he had i surveyed with such satisfaction in the tailor's window three days before. ! “Well,” he said, “make it live. 1 ; suppose that will do.” Dawson was wretched all morning. He continued to grow in wretchedness ! each succeeding day. Many things conI tributed to his misery, chief of which was his unusual popularity. Everybody who had ever invited him to anything before, and some who hadn't, seemed suddenly possessed with a mad yearning for his'society and urged him to go somewhere. All this hospitality i Dawson was obliged to decline because ‘ he looked too shabby. i On Saturday evening Dawson was ■ again in possession of his own clothes, i Just for exercise he ran his fingers | through his pockets. Presently they etruck something that crinkled crisply under his touch. He withdrew his hand, looked dizzily at what it held and keeled across the bed. “Os all the infernal fools,” he said. “I wasn’t mistaken, after all. I did put some of it away. I don’t believe any other idiot on earth ever pawned for $5 a suit of clothes that had $lO tucked away in the pocket!” Growth of a Legend. The militant suffrage muddle in [ England has reached a point which should inspire writers of fiction like the inventors of Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin. The development of ' this grotesque comedy seems to reveal ; an organization of forces opposed to ! society such as the criminal classes j are shown to possess in fiction. We have been inclined to believe that the hysterical women were not guilty I of all the crimes charged to them. In i the matter of the attempted destruction of a suburban house rented by the chancellor of the exchequer, for I instance, and the burning of certain buildings the evidence is not clear. But the London police yesterday re- ! ported the discovery of a veritable suffragettes’ den in a decent Kensington neighborhood, resembling the thieves’ dens which we encounter so frequntly in fiction. Ostensibly an artists’ studio, this place is said to contain an assortment of implements for cutting telegraph wires, bottles full i of corrosive fluid, false identification I plates for automobiles, suggesting ' projected crimes that might, indeed, | “stagger humanity,” and tools for ! breaking window’s. 55 indows are easj ily broken without special tools, and I the other articles might appertain to a popular illustrator’s “props,” to be used in composing pictures. We feel no surer of the suffragettei’ den than we do of the charges of arson. $200,000 to Twelve Horses. Most remarkable of all the animal wills was that of the Hungarian who seemed to think that his horses were more to be trusted than his relatives, and who was certain that they were more in need of protection than any member of his wealthy family. Emile son Bizony, a bachelor, who held wornin detestation, died at sixty-five, and left property worth $200,000 to his twelve draft horses. The Society for the Protection of Animals at Budapest was named as executor, and the bequest was made a perpetual charity by a provision that upon the death of one of the horses another aged horse should be substituted and cared for, so that the original total of twelve should always be maintained. The relatives are contesting the will, and the society declined the 220,000 offered as » settlement. How Synge Gets His Material. No mere man of letters ever knew the life of the Irish peasant better than Synge. Books about Irish life do not appear to have Interested him. He went to the people themselves for his Information. Wandering about the country with his fiddle, he encountered some strange companions —farmers, tinkers, beggars, ballad singers—a motley crowd. He observed them closely, their mode of life, their manner of speech, and what ha saw he reported faithfully. Unlike the majority of writers on Ireland, he Is entirely free from mawkishness or sentimentality. There Is no Celtic glamour In these pages. The aged peasant In bls whitewashed cabin, who bewails the conquest on an alien tongue, may possibly exist, but Synge doe* not appear to have met Mm.

Adolph Schoen, 742 Shepherd Ave., Brooklyn, writes: Nov. 1, 1912. —“At first little red spots were seen on my arms and body, which I noticed were getting larger every day. They itched me so njueb that I scratched myself until I bled. There were times when I stood up all night and scratched. I was troubled about three weeks, during which tim* ’ I used , which seemed to do m* no good whatever. Then, finally, I thought of trying Resinol Soap o and Resinol Ointment. As sodn as I applied Resinol Ointment I felt much relief. After using it a few times, I noticed the sore spots slowly fading away, and in about a month I was cured completely.” Tne soothing, healing balsams in Resinol Ointment and ResincA Sdfep, penetrate every tin* pore of the skin, clearing it of. all impurities, driving away eczema, rashes, ringworm, psoriasis, and other eruptions, and making pimples and blackheads impossibla.
