The recent action of the internal
revenue department of the United
States treasury, whereby special tax
was levied on certain physicians and
their patented compounds and cures,
and a subsequent enforcement of the
ruling, has caused considerable con-
troversy and in some places the col
lectors are meeting with much oppo-
sition until the law is fully understood.
The law is often misconstrued as being
aimed at physicians who advertise.
Deputy United States Collector John
A. O'Neal, of Burlington, is in Ottum-
wa today on business along the above
lines, and when asked about the mat
ter said: Because physician adver-
tises is no reason that he comes under
the ban of that particular clause of the
revenue law. 1t isn't the advertising
that makes him liable. The object of
the law, briefly stated, is to tax the

to tax all remedies and medicinal prep

medicinal preparations not free to all,

all patented medicinal compounds; all

LaGrippe is a disease of the nerves,
and it tears asunder the very founda-
ton upon which life exists. All
the weak parts are made to suffer.
That is the reason you are SO weak.
Your nervous system had terrible
shock. There are two results of grip
that are seldom absent, and which
cause more misery and suffering than
all other after effects combined.
They are nervous prostration and
heart weakness. The heart is
called upon to make extra efforts
just at time when it's own vitality
is lowest. The result is heart strain
and the train of evils that follows it.
DR.. Miles Nervine is perfectly adapted

STRANGE AFFAIR AT sCHALLER

Odebolt, March 9.-Roy Younie, son
of John Younie, left home the evening
of February 81. His parents did not
hear anything from him until Monday,
March S, about II o'clock, when they
were telephoned from Schaller that
Roy was there and for Mr.. Younie to
come at once. Mr.. Younie got there
about 1880 and found Roy in the doc
tors Office. Some one had found him
somewhere in the outskirts of town.
He was unconscious and was badly
bruised about the head and side. How
he received the bruises is a mystery.
He had been to Lake City and left
there some time Sunday to go to his
brothers at Early, but not finding
his brother there. said he would go to
his nncle's at Schaller. Mr.. Younie
brought him home, where he lies in a
half conscious state and the doctor
thinks he is in very doubtful condi-
ton. Before leaving home he had been
talking. a great deal about going onto
the railroad to work, and probably left
home for that purpose.

LIVES WITH ms THROAT CLOSED
Waterloo Man Receives Nourlshmen
| So Directly Into HIS stomach.


Waterloo, March 9-The strange case
of a man in average good health re-
ceiying all his nourishment and food
thru silver tube directly into the
stomach is interesting the medical fra
ternity of this city. Adolph Vollen-
weider, living at 10s Webster street,
has just returned from Chicago where
the operation of inserting the tube was
performed to keep him from starving
to death.
Several months ago Mr.. Vollenwied-
er was attacked by a throat trouble,
and, despite every effort of medical
treatment, the throat gradually closed
up so that nothing but liquid nourish-
ment could be taken. Local physicians
were able to keep open a small aper-
ture with instruments, and a trip to
a CChicago institute for an
operation was finally advised.
Three weeks ago the patient left for
the city and consulted specialist
there, but the threat continued to
close and the experiment of sending
the food direct to the stomach was re-
sorted to. The operation was entirely
successful, and Mr.. Vollenweider ex-
periences little discomfort in taking
his meals thru the little silver tube,
altho the elaborate menu has no temp.
tations for him. He is able to be about
and seems to be in as good health and
spirits as usual. There is no difficulty
in breathing,the windpipe being appar-
emily free. Mr.. Vollenweider is man
about so years of age, is married and
has family. He is blacksmith by
trade and up to the time of his depar-
ture for Chicago was employed at the
Illinois Central shops.

New York, March 26.-The attack of
brain fever which has Frustrated Olga
Ncthersole and from which she may not
recover is directly traceable TO the cam
paign against '.Sapho" and her subse-
quent Indictment. News of her severe
illness has turned the current of public
feeling and those who We're the first to
blame are now the loudest in expressing
sympathy.
Her physicians no longer conceal the
fact that her condition is very serious.
Whether it has yet reached the critical
stage nobody outside of her own friends
can discover. soscareful are those in at
tendance on her to keep all news from
the public. hrs Phelps and Curtis are
in hourly attendance upon her. Miss
Nethersoe is at the Hoffman House,
and the esteem in Which she is held is
daily evidenced by the presence of per-
sons who call to either see or else send
their cards to her. For some time. how
ever this has been Impossible. as her
condition Has .3caa s..ch since her inaict-
ment that she has been unable TO either
receive her friends or accept their cards.
All during the "Sapho' agitation the
general public. as is usually the case,
made light of the whole affair and the
most quoted remark about the matter
has been only an advertising dodge"
Now that it has become known that the
young woman who has been signaled
out as the mark for an attack has col
lapsed under the strain of the weight
placed on her, The feeling has been re-
versed, and the people see that Miss
