10y Union Associated Press, J

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Advices from
all over the country indicate that the
officials of corporations are awaken
ing to the Importance of the new cor
poration tax law, and it is not likely
that many important concerns will be
delinquent in filing their reports
which must be in the office of the
collector of internal revenue for theil
district by tomorrow night.
Every corporation that fails to have
its report, properly filled out, in the
hands of the revenue collector by to
morrow, makes itself liable to fine
of not less than $1,000, and possibly
$4,000.
New York corporations have gener
ally shown an inclination to comply
with the law, SO far as the filing OF
reports is concerned, but most of them
do so merely as matter of form and
without any expectation of ever hay.

RED, Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth noun
fains of gold % to suffering women.
