FOR THE WAR REVENUE
Treasury Departments Efforts
to Meet the Requirements.
TWO GENT TAX ON POSTAL ORDERS

NECESSARY SUPPLY OF INTER-
NAL REVENUE STAMPS MAY BE
READY BY JULY 1, BUT NO PEN
Atty WILL BE ATTACHED IN
CASE OF FATLURE.
The Treasury Department is making
determined efforts to manufacture a
sufficient number OF internal revenue
stamps to meet the requirements OF the
war revenue act recently passed. The
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing rs

sand stamps daily, and this production

ties Of the department are met The
law provides that tinstrumentsand docu-
ments not stamped in accordance with
its provision shall be invalid, and a
penalty is prescribed for failure TO
comply with the law. II the govern
ment, however, falls to furnish the re-
quired stamps and make them easily
accessible to the citizen, It is not likely
that any penalty will attach to his
failure, or that the courts would hold
the unstamped instrument to be Illegal,
Under such a failure It is the belief OF
the attorney general that the deficiency
could be remedled by attaching stamps
subsequent to the making Of the IN
strument, and as soon as the stamps
are supplied by the government. The
failure OF the government to provide
the physical means OF making the law
effective should not be visited upon the
citizen. However, there are favorabl,
indications that the necessary suppl,
OF stamps will be forthcoming the Is
Of July.
The law provides that postal orders Is
sued 10y the government shah be liabl
to a stamp tax Of two cents for eacl
3 order issued. After consulting the pos
tai authorities the Treasury Depart
e ment has decided that it will not b

Il am cured of the grip but / 90 not

This expression is heard constantly.
Perhaps you, reader. have heard II ana
possibly you have made it yourself. 1t
is a sad fact, but fact none the less,
that While the grip is bad enough ana
depressing enough when in its acute
form, 1t is often worse when IL settles
in some part of the body and continues
to destroy the health and ruin the life.
Doctor Lombard, in speaking on this
subject recently. said
1T is well-known fact. admitted by
all doctors, that grip does settle in the
body and bring distressing effects long
after ii is apparently cured. But the
doctors do not always say just where
1t usually settles. 1t should he clearly
understood then, that the spots winch
grip commonly selects are the kidneys
and urinary organs. 1T is quite natural
that it should do so. for these are the
very organs that are overworked in

prey for disease"
when these delicate but most inn
portant organs are attacked III their
weakened condition, they cannot throw
the grip from the system without help
good help-Strong help-reliable help.
But, you ask, where can such assist
ance be secured? The question IS not
an easy one. Many things will help the
kidneys urinary and female organs
temporarily. but it is not temporary
help that they need. They require
something strong, something that Will
seize the grip and cast it out forever.
Ordinary medicines will not accomplish
this. 1t requires a scientific discovery
something out of the ordinary
something that can be depended upon
absolutely. There is, so far as we
know so far as the scientific world
knows, but one remedy that fills this
requirement. That remedy is War
ner's Safe Cure. 1t was the most po-
tent factor in conuuerng the grip IN
Europe, and it has been the only rem
edy that has successfully removed its
after effects in America. Rev. DIR. RAN

this:

There was severe competition expert
enced from the principal manufacturers

was not the only factor considered in
awarding the contracts MI. Young be-
lieVes the decision was largely inllu-
enced by the fact that most OF the
directors were experienced mining men
who have for years been familiar with
the comparative merits OF different de-
signs and quality of mining machinery
not only in the United States. but in
Africa and South America. also by the
fact that the Alaska Mexican 120-

ton on their properties in Alaska for
some years, have proved 10 be Of such
superior design and material that the
directors felt they would incur no risks
in having the new 520 stamps made on
similar lines.
