Almost everybody needs tonic in the

RECEIPTS FALLING OFF
SURPLUS FOR THE YEAR ONLY A LIT
TIE OVER HALF A MILLION.
Expenditures Increasing and Income
Of the Government Decreasing
Fewer Luxuries Imported.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31-A significant
fact is noted in the treasury statement is
sued at the close of business to-day. It is
that the receipts and expenditures Of the
government for the first four months OF the
present fiscal year are practically the
same the surplus being so small as to be
only fraction Of the aggregate. One year
ago the surplus for the same months of
the fiscal year was $l3,50O.000, to which
100000 OF anticipated interest should
properly be added. making a total of al
most exactly one third of that for the en-
tire fiscal year. which finally stood at S54,-
100000 There has been no similar anticipa-
ton OF interest during the four months
of this fiscal year and there is practically
no surplus. The total receipts for the fiscal
year have been about $3.50. .2s5 and the
expenditures $ls9,Sl1.6s7. leaving a surplus
of about $5s5.eOO.
An analysis of the statement shows that
the practical wiping out Of the surplus is
due not only to decrease Of the receipts,
but also to an increase Of expenditures.
The customs receipts fell off about IS ooO.

departments increased slightly. In ad-
dition to those natural increase S. 900
