the laws of the United States to restrict
immigration more than 1t Is now restricted?

some good advice. Being a Knight

past three years made it a rule to keep
myself supplied with Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and have found numerous occasions
to test its merits, not only on myself,
but on.others as well. l can truly say
that I never, in single instance, have
known it to fail. I consider it one of
the best remedies travellers can carry
and could relate many instances where
have used the remedy on sceptics,

will carry a bottle of this remedy in

are criticised severely by the men.
In shooting long distances they are
compelled to shoot sitting up as
well as lying prone and standing.
The sitting position is criticised very
severely as the men say this kind of
firing would never be practical in ac-
tual warfare. They would either shoot
lying down as on an advance, or shoot
standing as on a retreat and they do
not see why 1ney should be compelled
to practice a style of shooting they
never expect to make use of in actual
warfare.

than that received by Fort Clark
owing to the fact that this exchange
has always purchased licenses for the
target range at Leon Springs as well
as at the post.
The secretary has notified the Off
GERS that when asked to pay taxes by
the revenue officers to just refuse
point blank, when of course he will
be notified, when he will then deal
with them.
This is an excellent view taken by
the secretary as it will just benefit
the exchanges that much more, and
as they are conducted for the bene-
fit of the men, this money will of
course benefit them.

POST EXCHANGE TO RECEIVE BACK
REVENUES.
Capt. Foster Preparing To Statement OF
The Amount Due-GOssip Of
The Garrison.

The taxes paid to the internal rev.
enue collectors by the various post ex-
changes throughout the country are to
be refunded and they are to pay no
more.
This is a decision reached by Secre-
tary Alger, of the War department.
and he has ordered that the post ex-
change officers refuse to pay the taxes
now due. .E
He bases his decision on the fact
that the exchanges are government in
situations. He says that a post ex-
change is not a dealer. but on the con-
trary, is merely store at which the
United States, through the War de-
partment, requires officers of the ar
my, as performance of their official
duties as such officers and in the in
terest of and for the benefit of the mil
itary service of the United States. to
carry on a business of buying and sell
ling to soldiers, articles of merchan-
disc.
That the officer in charge does not
carry on the business for himself, his
own benefit or interest or on his own
motion or accord, but does the same in
obedience to the orders of the proper
authorities of the government over
him, and as performance of his du-
ties as an officer of the United States.
That the said buying and selling is
done in and as part of the public SER
vice of the United States and the ex-
change should therefore not be com
PEELED to pay licenses, and should al
so have the back licenses refunded.
In referring to the refundment Of
these back licenses and the method of
collecting them he says:
ION page IS, of the regulations con-
corning the abatement and refunding
of taxes and assessed penalties there
is a provision for a claim for refund
ing to be made in the name of the
party assessed, if living; and If dead,
in the name of his executor or admin
istratOr. And also one that the aft
davit may be made by an agent of the
party assessed.
"These provisions cannot be COM
piled with in this case because it was
clearly a mistake of the assessor, the
store itself being assessed, the assess
ment being made against the Post Ex-
change, at -.
"fhis is store maintained and
managed by the government, through
its officers. II is an inanimate thing
and of course cannot make any claim
in its own name, or otherwise. nor can

An officer in charge of il is an Off
Ger of the United States and II has
been thought proper and sufficient for
him to make the claims in his own

The officer who paid the tax can
not make the claim because he is not
