INV conteons Must Pay Tax.

washington, Sept. "A ruling de-
fning the tax requirements of liquor
dealers at army canteens was made
Yesterday by Commissioner OF the In
ternal Revenue Scott, The decision
holds that the special tax of a retail
liquor dealer, or malt liquor dealer, as
the case may be. is required to be paid
for the sale of alcoholic liquor at army
/ canteens If the canteens are not gov
/ ernment agencies, and the sales OF
/ liquor there are made for individual
profit. The issue arose at Camp Meade

these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years carrier
in life. If little of the prudery OF mod
ern society were banished, so that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves, there would be less suffering
among women in middle life.
Good health is the best endowment that
a human being can have. Good general
health among women is largely dependent
upon good local health in a womatily way.
Through ignorance and neglect IT has be-
come such an ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease of the delicate and important
feminine organism, that many women have
come to look upon these troubles as an
unavoidable inheritance. This is mis-
take. All troubles of this nature may be
cured in the privacy of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examinations
and "local treatment" insisted upon by
the average physician. Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription gives health, elastic
strength and vitality to the sensitive organs
concerned. 1t allays Inflammation, heals
liberation and frees from pain. 1t tones
the nerves and builds up the nerve centers:
It makes n woman healthy and strong and
thus prepares her for healthy wifehood,
capable motherhood and safe transition
at the change of life,
"I want to testify to the great benefit derived
from using Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, y
writes Mrs II. Mason of Strykersville, Wyo-
ming Co, n. Y. y commenced using y about
three months before confinement With my
former confinement suffered greatly, while thi;
one was comparatively easy, owing to the use
of the Favorite Prescription"

TNnhoid rlaX Spread.

Hospital trains are distributing
typhoid fever patients from Southern
camps, and the danger Of a wide !
spread epidemic faces the people of
this country, and its results may be
far reaching. Hundreds of these |
sick soldiers will 90 to their homes,
instead of we'll regulated hospitals, |
there to be cared for by qualified
doctors and nurses This question is
of very serious nature, and the
Philadelphia Press has already
sounded the alarm.
Commenting upon this subject, our
contemporary remarks that IAN
epidemic of typhoid fever national in
its reach may be one result of the
Homecoming Of the sick volunteers
who are suffering with that dread
disease. The volunteers were drawn
from all parts of the country and
many of tile sick have been sent to
their homes to he cared for in hos
pitfalls. OF course, every precaution
is taken by these institutions to pre-
vent an epidemic, but even in spite
of this plague of typhoid may start
and sweep all over the country
There is no question but that the
country is face to face with grave
possibility of an epidemic of typholc
fever, caused by the return to thei
homes of so many soldiers who arr
suffering from it. Az the hospitals il
Philadelphia there are now beini
treated several hundred cases OF thi
disease in all stages, from mild t.
malignant form.
''There is no doubt in my mind,
said DIR. J. V. Shoemaker, of the
Medico- Chiurgical hospital, tina
many of the soldiers who are walk
ing about are suffering from typhoi'
fever. 1t is most peculiar diseas'
and deceptive as well. Take the cas-
of some of these men supposed TO D.
convalescents When they were eA
amined thoroughly at the hospita
they were found to be suffering iron
typhoid fever. As the soldiers ar
sent to their homes for treatment ant
scattered all over the country tn
seeds of universal epidemic may b
sown. The end of this thing is no
yet in sight
1t is an easy matter for injection u
travel in hundreds of different ways
according TO the same authority
"A fly which alights on patient q
his excrement," says DIR. Shoemake
may afterwards poison water, mil
or food the poison may be taken
the system in so many ways it is a
most impossible to enumerate thel
Late works by eminent authority
agree that typhoid fever may be bot
contagious and infectious. The ger
of typhoid will live for weeks und
conditions scarcely dreamed Of
the layman."
This is the time of the year VIII
typhoid fever is most likely to beeoI
epidemic, and the distribution OF
many cases among soldiers oyer su
an area of country is apt to bring
a scourge such rs this country j
never known. 1t behoOves
people, therefore, to be extreme

why Porto RIcn Troops Were Not Pal

why Porto Rica Troops Were Not Paid
Washington, Sept. "A dispatch has
been received at the war department
from General Miles asking why the
troops In Porto Rico have not been
paid. The explanation is given that the
paymasters with money for the troops
were at Santiago and ready to proceed
to Ponce, but General Miles objected to
these paymasters, saying they would
bring yellow fever infection with them,
or the money might be infected while
on board the ships. other paymasters
have since been dispatched to Porto
Rico.
