INHERITANCE TAX RULING.

Little Rock, Aug. 4-Attorney Gen. eral w. l.. Moose today rendered an opinion regarding the inheritance tax, by which he holds that the state taxes are to be deducted from the entire es- tate of the deceased, instead of waiting to let the heirs pay upon the portion received by them.
 This decision means saving for the state in the settlement of number of estates Minor heirs are permitted exemptions of $3,000. and in an estate where there are both adults and min- or heirs. the state would thus be much loser, if the division be first made and the minor heir permitted to deduct his $3,0O0

Summer Foods as
 Cause of Dyspepsia
Many Also Get DiarrhOea-What To Do in EitE,er Case.

Summer ought to be the month Of most perfect health, but owing to contaminated water and milk. un- ripe fruit. germs and insects, the average of health is not good at this time of the year. There is much skin trouble from acid fruits, and much dyspepsia and diarrhoea from cold foods and iced beverages,
 The skin trouble is easily stopped by discontinuing fruit for a few days, ahd by the use of d mild laxative to Cl can the bowels and tone the blood. The dyspepsia is likewise corrected b, the use of a laxative that has com bined with it the elements of a diges- tive tonic. Hence the best remedy to use is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, as it's name indicates, is a pleasant laxative combined with the virtues of pepsin. which we all know is the hest cure for Indigestion.
 Use syrup Pepsin also for summer diarrhoea. Avoid astringents, physics and cathartics, as they are unneces- sarly harsh. Thousands of good American families prefer Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin, among them

to this end it has taken advantage
of the establishment of commissions
having control of the public utilities
in the various states.
Baltimore has long been without
the fiat rate service.
Pittsburg loses it on Oct. 81, 1913.
President r. H. Bethel of the Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania
says it will soon be discontinued in
Philadelphia.
1t has been practically done away

has a few thousand fiat rate tele-

about half Of, the total calls made
each day.
The subscribers to this class of ser
vice are principally the large firms
and corporations, using from 25 to
200 calls per line per day.
The small users have been induced
by one argument or another to get on
the measured service, but firms using
many calls, as for instance the Daily
News, the wholesale drug houses and
the retail grocery stores, who call up
hundreds of thousands of customers
every day, have been left to the last

MT. Apee and MT. Hiram are neigh DOTS who live on the outskirts of the borough. The former is a business man who drives in and out daily and who dearly loves horse; but an ur- Witting experience his faithful bea st had with him the other day has filled his soul with remorse, and his cha grin is so great that his neighbors say he was seen in his back yard the day of the occurrence kicking a pair of trousers belonging to him hanging on the line with so much vim and vim dictiveness that he almost kicked holes in them. How it happened is thus, as told the scribe:
 Arrived at home the other evening he hitched his trotter to a staple on the barn and went into the house to partake of the supper that was await ing him. As soon as finished he star ted for the barn to put his beast up when the telephone rang and Neigh Dor Hiram begged him to come over at once and take a hand at cards, as a few friends had surprised him on this, the anniversary of his birth. Opnging1y, he responded to his neigh bor's invitation, and was guest that helped make merry the hearts of his friends till the party broke up and de- parted for home Then what happen ed is not clear. Anyway it was sever al hours later when he reached his dornicils and got to bed.
 The sun was high in the heavens next day when he awoke, and his tel ephone was c1amortng to be heard Paiama clad he took down the receiy- CT and received an urgent call from his office boy that he was wanted at the. office at once. The response was: t'AII right, will be up in a jiffy as soon as I hitch up.'' In three shakes

 Then he wilted and went home for breakfast, and engaged in the violent exercise under the clothes line which attracted the notice of. neighbor Hi ram, who came over to ask what was the matter Our hero looked at him askance for "a moment or two, but finally broke down and confessed.
 Neighbor Hiram discIaims all knowledge of how the affair became known to the public, but he can't seem to convince anybody that his most solemn declarations on this point are the truth. And Mr-Apee would
