London.-The greatest war budget
On the worlds history was introduced
i'm the House of Commons by Regi-
maid McKenna, Chancellor OF the
Exchequer, as another step toward
financing the war, which is now cost
ing Great Britain nearly SIS, 900 900
daily.
New military requirements and
changed methods of warfare have ere
ated overnight additional expenditures
which had not been reckoned with
even in the comparatively recent esti-
mates of David Lloyd George, the
Munitions Minister, necessitating in
this budget, the third since the out
break of hostilities, the most drastic
and far-reaching taxes in the history
of the country, and involving even
free trade.
Hereafter automobiles, bicycles NOV
ing picture films, clocks, watches.
musical instruments, plate glass and
hats will pay a tax of 33 1-3 per cent
ad valorem, though, as McKenna ex-
planned, the objects of such taxation
are purely temporary and without re-
gard to a permanent effect on trade"
being primarily designed to discourage
imports and remedy the foreign ex-
change situation.
Spirits and beer, which have been
the object of so much agitation, re-
manned untouched by the new sched-
ules. The principal blow fell on in
comes the existing tax on incomes not
only being jumped 40 per cent, but
it's scope widened so as to catch even
workingmen earning as little as $14
weekly.
The very wealthy must contribute
to the Government more than one
third of their The one-cent
mail will be abolished entirely, and
the weight heretofore carried in the
mails for two cents will be reduced.
The rate of kilograms, which is II
cents for twelve words, is increased to
IS cents, and there is also to be a
proportionate increase in telephone
charges.
The sugar tax, though largely in
increased, will mean only an extra
penny per pound burden for the gen.
eral public, for the sale of sugar is
now regulated by the royal commits
sion, which will reduce the price to
refiners and dealers.
McKenna in explaining his proposal
to tax wal and other excess profits
said a special tax would be levied ON
all concerns dealing in war supplies
at the rate of so per cent on all profits
above $500, taking the profits of the
concerns in 1915 as the basis for
levying the tax.
Concerns with normal profits will
pay the usual income tax. The Chan
cellor estimated that the revenues
from this source in a full year would
aggregate $3.50, 900, 900.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-That carelessness in the
preparation of drugs or mistakes in
transposing from the apothecary sys-
ten of weights to the metric system
is rather too prevalent among pharm-
acists is indicated by the results OF
analyses recently made in the State
department of health laboratory. Out
of $50 samples of spirits of pepper
min analysed IS, Dr. 47.2 per cent.
were found to be below standard.
This drug was selected for investi-
cation first because it is a common
household remedy, and, second, be-
cause it is almost invariably prepared
by the druggist himself. The results
of the investigation should, therefore,
indicate to some extent the care used
by pharmacists in preparing drugs of
this character. 1t is easy to obtain
the materials which enter into its
composition in a pure state, and the
drug is easily prepared by ordinary
care on the part of the pharmacist.
The United States Pharmacopeia
requires the spirits of peppermint to
contain 10 per cent. by volume of the
oil of peppermint. The fact that 47.2
per cent. of the samples examined
were found to contain less than 10
per cent. of the oil would indicate
undue carelessness or numerous mis-
takes in arithmetic.
In several instances samples ex-
amined were found to contain more
than 10 per cent. Nine samples of
the $50 examined contained between
Is per cent. and 81 per cent, the lat
ter number indicating more than
twice the standard strength.
In preparing drugs which contain a
poisonous agent an overdose of which
would be dangerous, it is just as seri-
Gus an error, or perhaps even more
serious to make them stronger than
standard strength as to make them
fall below the standard. In the case
Of spirits of peppermint, lack of con-
formity to the standard does not ex-
pose the consumer to so much danger
as in the case of some other drugs.
In order that the druggists may
know the exact strength of spirits of
peppermint the state department of
health advises them to assay their
preparations before offering them for
sale.
The general public can help to
bring about improvement in this re-
spect by insisting that the druggist
show the results of an assay when
making a purchase.

subject. and / am, therefore, Request
irg you to advise M how far your
Investigations have gone and whether
you are now able to make public such
acts as will assist the voters in de-
termining whether or not the State

Flags state Dental Society.


Governor Fielder is not be dictated
to by the State Dental Society, he
says, even though the society was
successful in getting the last Legis-
lature to pass a bill making him &C.
cept it's suggestions for appointments
to the State Board of Registration
and Examination in Dentistry. The
Governor signed the bill, but he very
frankly admitted his mistake and has
written DR.. John G. Foryth, of this
city, secretary of the State Society,
stating that he will not comply with
the request to name DR.. Chauncey M.
f. Egel, of Westfeld; DR.. Richard
Hopkins, of Newark, and DR.. Arthur
L. Westcott, of Atlantic City, as mem
bers of the Board of Examiners.
The Governor says the law gives
him no discretion in the matter and
he is against it or principle. The
situation now is up to the dentists
and developments will be awaited
with interest. In his letter to DIR.
Forsyth the Governor states that per-
usal of the law shows that it gives
to the Board of Examiners wide power
and latitude in the licensing of prac-
titioners, eve to the approval of in
situations which may have graduated
them; to collect all fees and fines
for violations of the law and use them
as the Board might deem advisable,
with no authority vested in any
branch of the State Government to
pass upon or sanction any payments,
and he says:
81 submit that if these important
powers are to be vested in a State
Board and are to be exercised under
the authority and in the name of the
State and the State is to assume re-
sponsibility for their acts, the State
should have some voice in the selec-
ton of the members and the Cover
nor should not be required to appoint
men to the Board in whose selection
he has absolutely no discretion. l am
aware that approved the law in que5-
ton, but l prefer to acknowledge my
mistake rather thar commit another
by accepting the names you send me.
] do not know any of the gentlemen
named and | raise no question as to
their qualifications. I am only con-
tending for a principle when l say
I decline to appoint them, because I
am not permitted to exercise my judg-
ment and reject them should l not
believe them proper appointees. If
the State Dental Society will send
me three names for each appointment
to be made l shall make a choice from
the number recommended, or | shall
reject all and request others. This
applies as well to the vacancy which
will occur next month.
Permit me to point out to your
society that no one is eligible for ap-
pointment to the State Board unless
he has resided and practiced dentistry
in this State for 10 years preceding
his appointment and that the law
gives the Governor and not your So
ciety, the right to designate the terms
of the new members of the Board"

completed it's note to Great Britain
protesting against the restraint on

1t is said to be the most forceful

In compliance with a telephone re-
quest from Colo Tuesday night Chief Of
Police Breckel gave orders to the
police, to detain the occupants of a car
bound for Gladbrook from some point
west of Colo The complaint, which
came from Colo garage. was to the

run down motorcyclist west of Colo.
and broken the riders machine. Later.
it was said, the automobile driver had
damaged his car by colliding with a
tree or fence, with the result that one
spring, a fender. bumper, and one
light were broken.
The car was easily discernible here
from its appearance, and the police
found it fifteen minutes after the order
had been given to detain it. Communi-
cation with Colo resulted in the in
formation that all that was desired
was to collect $40 from the driver Of
the car for the damage he had done to
the motc-cycle Chief Breckel informed
the Colo man that he was not running
a collection agency for motorcycle
damage, and released the car.
The driver and his companion gave

PlckARps BRING SUITS.
Residents Of This City Ask Damages
From Town Of Conrad For Accident.

Two damage suits, totaling s10500.
have been brought against the town OF
Conrad by Mr.. and Mrs c. E. Pickard
Z North Seventh street. this city, ask
ing payment for injuries they received
when their auto turned over the bridge
just west of Conrad on July 4, 1913.
The petition claims that the town was
negligent in regard to keeping the
grade in proper condition.
Mr.. Pickard asks for $4,000 damages.
claiming to have been so severely in
jured that he has never fully recovered
from the effects of the accident. He
alleges that his left side gives him
trouble where the car fell on him and
crushed several Of his ribs. and that his
right leg was also so badly bruised that
the nerves were killed and the leg has
been partially numb ever since. He
also asks for $500 to cover the damage
to the automobile. Mrs. Pickard's
claim is also for $4,000. She states that
she too was permanently injured, her
right ankle having been bruised so
badly that she has been troubled with
it ever since. ~
The claim which Mr.. and Mrs. Pick
ard make hangs on the responsibility
of Conrad in building a grade on the
main road going west from the town.
The petition states that a high grade
had been built but not properly pro-
tected by ratings, nor were there any
side walls to retain the dirt. 1t is
further alleged that weeds were all
lowed to grow so that the view was
obstructed and the. plaintiffs did not
know they were so1near the edge. Mr.
and Mrs. Pickard claim that when they
attempted to pass team on this road
they drove over to the edge, and be-
cause of the above causes. the grade
gave way and the car with it's occu-
pants were thrown into the ditch and
injured.
The case has been brought for the
August term of court at Grundy Center.
Some attempts were made to settle
the matter out of court but this could
not be effected.

work on the viaduct, according to
Foreman j. v. Beranek. who hopes to
pack up his machinery and leave By
July "A at the latest, provided the
Their does not hamper hin: further
in his work. The two retaining walls
of the north abutment arc completed,
the piers are being put in as rapidly as
possible, and the fuot;nSs tor the walls
are also installed.
If the end of next week sees the fin
ishing up of the first part Of the via

eight weeks since work was begun.
Delay of material and bad weather
hampered progress the first few weeks,
but of late the men have los. very few
days IN this way.
Work on North Side Begun.
When the men quit work this even
ing they will have put in the first
eight piers on the north side of the
tracks, which leaves only twelve
more to be installed. Forty eight
piers in all are to be planted. twenty
four on each side Of the track.
Thirty-six have now been placed in
position, counting those installed to-

ones, and seven feet for the larger
ones near the approaches.
Nearing Readiness For Superstructure.
The wooden forms have been taken
off the east retaining wall on the
north approach and those on the west
wall will be removed in a few days.
With the completion Of the walls and
the installation of the piers the via
