The National Committeeman
Meet in Washington
for Purpose
NEW BASIS OF
REPRESENTATION
Full Committee Will Meet in
December and Dis
cuss Call

Washington, Nov. l2.--Plans for reor-
ganization Of the Republican party were
discussed here yesterday by the law
committee of the Republican national
committee. Proposals for changing the
number of delegates and representation
basis in the national convention along
lines put forward by the progressive
faction of the party were taken up. The
discussion indicated individual opinions
that the national committee had not the
power of itself to change the basis of
representation, but that it could call
on intermediate convention to make that
and other changes. The subcommittee
recommendation will be considered by
the national committee here Dec. l5
That the national committee has not
the power to change the basis OF repre-
sentation to the Republican national
convention will probably be the deci-
sion of the law committee. Charles b.
Warren of Michigan, chairman of the
law committee, presided yesterday morn
ing, and read carefully prepared legal
opinion on the subject Others present
We're Representatives James r. Mann OF
Illinois, Sherman Granger of Ohio, Roy
O. West of Illinois, and j. b. Reynolds,

FATAL TO GOOD LOOKS
Thin Blood and Nervousness VIII
Quickly Wreck Beauty.

Pale people are generally nervous.
Thin blood not only affects the COM
plexion by robbing cheeks and lips OF
color but it also weakens the nerves by
robbing them of nourishment.
When you have so far lost control of
your nerves that you "fy to pieces over
the least little noise or excitement, it is
high time to give your nerves a rest and
to build up your blood. The drawn look,
the sunken eyes, the deepening lines
about the mouth and forehead, the loss
in weight, are plain signs that the nerves
and the body are being poorly nourished.

Pink Pills any longer You may be

MAY PUT PREMIUM
ON SINGLE LIVING
Experts Are Involved in an Unexpected
Turn to the New Income
Tax Law.

Washington. Nov. l2.--Among the
troublesome questions that came up yes
terday for consideration by the income
tax experts of the treasury department
was this one: SIS the income tax going
to put premium on single blessedness 2
Advocates of the law contended it
would put a premium on marriage, but
its interpreters now have found the par
agraph affecting married persons not
so easy of comprehension after all. The
law reads:
"There shall be deducted from the
amount of the net income of each of said
persons (meaning taxable personsl the
sum of $1,000 plus 500 additional if the
person making the return be married
man with wife living with him, or plus
the sum of 81 600 additional if the per-
son making the return be a married
woman with husband living with her !;
but III no event shall this additional eX-
cmption of $1,000 be deducted by both
husband and wife.
provided that only one deduction of
$4,000 shall be made from the aggregate
income of both husband and wife when
living together"
That looks simple enough, but the ex-
perts don't think it is. For instance,
they have to rule on whether two mar
ried persons living together, each of
whom has an income of $4,000, must pay
the tax. As individuals each would be
exempt. Does marriage make them with
an aggregate income of $4,000 subject to
the tax?
Another question that does not par
ticularly concern the treasury but which
will interest husbands and wives is, who
is to pay the tax in case a joint income
is taxable? Is it to be proportional
according to the income of the individ-
uals, or is the husband to pay it all

it to be that of woman about 80
years old, probably mill operative from
some city along the shores of the Mer-
rimac river. The body, he says, had been
in the water from three to four weeks.
There was no evidence of foul play. Dr..
Sherburne believes that she died from
drowning.
The body was removed to the rooms
of Undertaken Jones, where it viii be
prepared for burial. 1t was that nf u
woman above the average height. The
body was clothed in a blue skirt, white
striped petticoat, corsets, brown stock
ings and black boots. There was no

was found small box of snuff, and in

saany respects the theory current at
Il time the picture was stolen, ascrib-
ing to the thief desire of possessing
this beautiful witch in oil that he might
