ATTACKS OF INDIGESTION.
Ellaville, Ga, Jan. g, 1904.
Mr.. A. A. Poindexter, Columbus, Ca:
Dear Sir:-Last August l was strick-
en- down with shortness of breath and
general debility to such an extent that
despaired. I was at that time in bust
ness at Ellaville, Ga, but my health so
completely failed me, that I closed out
my business. On your recommendation
l took Poindexter's Tonic and began to
improve at once. I can now eat any
thing l want without the least unpleas-
antness and can attend to my business

Richland, Ga, Jan. 4, 1904.
Mr.. A. A. Poindexter, Columbus, Ca:
Dear Sir:-I beg to say to you, and to
the public, in behalf of Poindexter's
Tonic, that some months ago l was
troubled with fullness after meals which
caused me great unpleasant feeling, and
at times would have something like
asthma to such an extent that I would
have to go out in the open air to get re-
lief. A friend of mine recommended
Poindexter's Tonic, and after using two
bottles of the above Tonic, find myself
entirely relieved. l can now eat any
thing that l want without any unpleas-
antness at all, and l do not have any
symptoms of asthma whatever. AS a
general tonic 1 consider it unequaled !;
also for Indigestion or any stomach
trouble.
Very respectfully,

THE PLEASURE OF EATING

pend on what is eaten. One must eat
and the food must assimilate or there's
decline. Keep your digestion perfect
and you can enjoy eating.
If you ever have the least distress af-

and remedy is needed at once. The
best remedy is POINDEXTER'S TON

states shall demand constitutional
convention, congress is in duty bound
to call it. A few dcsultory attempts of
this sort have been proposed or dis
cussed, but nothing ever came of them.
ono such proposal was in connection
with the election of senators by popu-
lar vote. The house of representatives
has also proposed this amendment sew

The Income Tax Decision.
The history of the income tax has
been somewhat different from that of
popular election of senators, although
the two reforms have been advocated
in the main by the same progressive
element. Popular election of senators
has never had legal existence, al
though practiced in some states, while
the income tax was in use among the
colonies and in certain states, was
adopted by the general government
during the civil war and was a recog-
nized method of taxation, both state
and national. until declared unconsti-
titiOna by the supreme court in 1895,
It is to remove the obstacle then raised
that the present constitutional amend
ment is proposed.
No decision since that on the Dred
Scott case In the troubled days before
the war ever aroused the storm of
criticism against our highest judicial
tribunal that followed this finding In
the income tax case. The fact that

Of law and Of democratic governmeI
worth remembering.
Favored by Roosevelt.


The income tax law of 1894 was a
part Of the Wilson tariff bill. and its
nulification left the government ham
pered for funds. In subsequent years
it was discussed by the Democrats and
later was taken up by President Roose-
welt. No serious purpose to put 1t on
the statute books was shown by con-
gress, however, until the extra session
of this year, when the sidetracking ST
the Inheritance tax proposed by the
house left the way open for an income
tax amendment With considerable
glee the insurgents and Democrats an
nounced that they had enough votes
to adopt the measure. 1t was at this
point that the administration came for
ward with its double proposal Of a
corporation tax and Of constitutional
amendment to permit an income tax,
which had the effect of sidetracking
the immediate consideration Of the In.
come tax amendment aud thus saved
self or a second time declaring this
long recognized form Of taxation un.
constitutional.
In England, where the income tax
has been in force for many years, It
was once opposed by Gladstone on the
ground that 1t made "a nation of
liars" Despite the criticism by Eng
lands Grand Old Man, the tax was re-
tained. but the objection was noted
and the ground for it removed In
rather an ingenious way. At the time
of Gladstone's structure the British
method Of collecting the tax was like
our own-that is, 1t was collected from
the man who received the income.
Now 1t is collected from the man who
pays the income-that is, IL one is
paid salary the tax Is deducted be-
fore he receives it; If he is paid dlvi-

pursued, and similar devices are re.
