INCOME TAX FAILS
TO REACH ESTIMATE
kilograms From Collectors Indicate Fall
in the Anticipated
Revenue.

Washington, d. c., March 6.-Tele-
grams from internal revenue collectors
received at the treasury department up
to noon yesterday indicated that the
tax on incomes for the 10 months of
1913 would be slightly less than esti-
mated and with the corporation tax add
ed the total would not reach quite $780,
100000.
The corporation tax in 1918 was $780,
100000, but will be nearly $50,000O00
this year. One reason for the increase
will be that the $4,000 exemption pre-.
viously allowed was abolished in the
recent tariff act.
The hope of treasury department Off
Gals that detailed statement could be
made up this month has proved futile,
owing largely to the fact that so much
confusion has attended the filing of
statements by persons unfamiliar with
the law.

PROBLEM NOW IS COL
ONY'S PACIFICATION
The Italian Victory Over the
Turks Cost $780,
100000

Rome, March 6.-The Chamber of Dep
uties by vote of 36l to SO has APP
proved the budget for the new African
colony of Libya. The Socialists and
some Republicans were virtually the
only members of the Chamber to vote
against the budget. Prior to the vote
being taken, Premier Giolitti in speech
recapitulated the history of the war be-
tween Italy and Turkey and the con-
quest of Libya. In answering the crit
icisms of various orators, the premier
declared that the problem for the future
was the paeification of the new colony
and its reorganization on basis of prog
ress and civilization. Signor Grazladei,
a Socialist deputy, asked the Chamber
to vote for the publication of all diplo-
matte documents concerning Libya and
for the appointment of a committee of
inquiry on the expenses of the war. His
motion was rejected by vote of 3lS
to SO.
Baron Sonino, leader of the opposition,
stated during the debate that although
officially the budget of 1913 closed with
a surplus of S23,000,000 there was ac-
tually deficit of 81 ,500000. The Clio
litti government is working for the sane
ton by Parliament of an appropriation
of S250,000000. needed to cover the ex-
penditure for Turkish war expenses up
to June of this year, 1t is claimed that
$25, 100000 is needed for Tripoli in the
present financial year.

Watch Carefully
the Child's Diet
Start Them Off Fright with a
Good Laxative and Then
Watch Their Food

Mothers are often unconscously very care
less about the diet of their children, forcing
all to eat the same foods. The fact is that
all foods do not agree alike with different
persons. Hence avoid what to consti-
pate the child or to give it Indigestion, and
urge, it to take more or what is quickly
dgested
If the child shows tendency to constpa-
ton, it should Immediately be given mild
laxative to help the bowels. BY this is not
meant a physic purgative, for these should
never be given TO children, nor anything like
salts, pills. etc. What the child requires is
simply small dose of the gentlest of medi-
cines, such DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which, in the opinion of thousands of watch
full mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation. So many
things can happen to constpated child that
care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches,
sleeplessness, and many other annoyances
that children should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost families are
never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can
never tell when some member of the family
may need it, and all can use it. Thousands
endorse it. among them Mrs. NJ E. Patten
Valley Junction. Iowa, who is never without
it in the house. Mrs. Patten says that Syrup
Pepsin has done wonders for her boy. Ralph,

PTNKLETS
The Laxative That Really
Does Correct Constipation.

Constipation means that poisonous ma
teriats which should have been expelled
from the body are being retained. At
first there may be only feeling of full
ness and discomfort but coon the appetite
fails, the digestion becomes disordered,
the tongue coated, the breath offensive
and there is bad taste in the mouth
The first step in correcting constipation
is to stop the use of strong purgatiyes.
Substitute for them the mild, non-griping
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh purgatives are of little
value in the treatment of constipation be-
cause they wear out the muscular activity
of the bowels and finally lessen their sem
sibility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued use of purgatives always
brings on chronic constipation instead OF
correcting it. With Pinklets you need
have nosuch fear. They assist the bowels
and liver lust enough to get them in pro-
per working order. Any druggist can
supply you with Pinklets at 25 cents per
bottle. Write today to the DIR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for
copy of the Pinklet book which tells all
about the treatment OF constipation.

New Haven, Conn, March 6.-Stung

KISSED FOR SAVING $4,000.
Twenty-Seven Emigrants Express Their
Appreciation of Care.

New York, March 6.-Expressions of
gratitude in the form of kisses, were
showered upon William H. Egan, station
master of the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton, here Wednesday night, by the
twenty seven men and women members
of an emigrant band, because he had
been instrumental in restoring to them
a flour sack which contained $3s,000 in
gold and bills.
The party, en- route from Montana to
Poland, dined in the station and then
started for the pier to board the steam
ship Olympic In her haste, the wife of
the leader of the band, TO whom her fell
low travellers had entrusted their money.
left the bag in waiting-room, where it
was found by an attendant, and turned
over to Egan. Its contents had hardly
been counted when the emigrants rushed
back in great excitement, clamoring for
their money.
When they learned that every dollar
was intact. they made a rush for Egan.
He did not take kindly to kissing at
first, it is said, but yielded as matter
of courtesy.

LINEMAN MET DEATH
HIGH ON WIRES
Benjamin Bycraft Was Terribly Burned
at rattleboro-Clothes Caught
Fire-Body Taken Down After
Some Delay.

Brattleboro, March 6.--Benjamin By
craft, about so years OF age, an employe
for over 20 years of the Western Union
Telegraph company, met instant death
yesterday on a pole at the rear of the
Hooker building annex, occupied by the
Dunham Brothers Co., when ii 900 volts
OF electricity went through his body.
The body fell across the high tension
wires and before the current could be
shut off, perhaps two minutes later, the
body was literally cooking and the
clothes were on fire.
Byeraft came here yesterday morning
from Bellows Falls to take the place of
J.. |. Nickerson, section lineman of the
company, who is on vacation. With
him was G. M. Lowd of White River
Junction, connected with the equipment
department of the company. They came
to make some repairs to the Western
Union clock wires, which were out of
order.
Equipped with spurs and the para
phernalia of lineman Bycraft climbed
one of the short poles by the Twin State
Gas & Electric Co., to pass over the
high tension wires of that company
wire from the telegraph company's pole
nearby. He threw one leg over the high
tension wire and instantly flames shot
from his body and clothing. He plunged
downward across the other high tension
wire and remained there.
Mr.. Lowd, realizing that he could do
nothing, sprinted down the track to the
power station to have the power shut
off and found that that was being done,
for the instruments at the station
showed that there was trouble of
serious nature on the wires.
jeremiah Condor, lineman of the
company, grabbed rope and with Lowd
ran back, to the scene of the accident.
Condor climbed the rope rapidly, fasten-
ed the rope around Bycraft's body, cut
the wire and lowered the body to, the
ground, where water was thrown on it
to put out the fire in the clothing. One
glance at the deeply burned face con-
WINGED those present that there was no
probability of there being a spark OF life
in the body.
Manager +. M. Adds of the Twin |
State company and two employees hur-
ried TO the scene with the pulmotor in |
the hope that there might be chance to |
use it in inducing respiration, but DR.. |
Henry Tucker, who had reached the |
scene minute earlier, announced the |
man beyond all possibility of revival. |
Mr.. Lowd said that in his opinion By |
craft thought the wire over which he |
threw his leg carried only 1900 volts
and attributed the accident to the long
familiarity of Bycraft with the work,

THE WAR IN EUROPE

The declaration of war by Aus
tria against Servia may involve all
of the great powers of Europe. The
balance Of power as it is called
between these great powers Is SO
delicately adjusted that the least dis
turbance may bring all of them
into collision with each other.
What seems to have precipitated the
present trouble Is the recent assas-
sination Of Arch Duke Ferdinand of
Austria and his duchess by Servian
conspirators. On Thursday of last
week, Austria gave Servia forty
eight hours to apologize and prom
ise to hunt out and punish the as
sassins and to bind herself to be ON
good behavior in the future. The
demand further required that all
secret organizations in Servia should
be at once suppressed. The condi-
tions were so drastic that Servia re-
fused to comply. So as neither
country would give way Austria de-
clared war. If the two countries are
left to fight it out alone. the outcome
will be nothing else than that Aus
tria, the big dog, will win the fight
in a short time. But If Russia
should come to the aid of her little
Slavonic cousin, then Germany
would quickly fly to the aid of her
ally, Austria. Then in turn France.

entente.
But the p! liabilities are that
Austria will not insist on taking
over Servia and the war can be
localized. in which event 1t will not
be of long duration.
