munitions exports but this was dis missed after some consideration as impractical. The latest suggestion in this connection is a special tax upon the incomes of the corporations di- rectly benefiting through the sale o1 war munitions.
 Big Profits in War Munitions.
 A twenty per cent war munitions tax would give the government al least $200,000,O0O, according to fig ures of the department of commerce The total increased value of the ex- ports of war munitions from the United States during the first nine months of this year was $1,O99,O00,, 0O0 The actual profits to the manu- lecturers from these exports have been enormous, fifty per cent being quite usual.
 The number of industries that would be affected by such a tax may be gained from an analysis of the foreign trade of the United States fol the first nine months of the year, the figures of which have just been made public by the department of com merce. Iron and steel manufactures exported were worth $251, 100000, an increase of approximately $100,C00, 900 over the corresponding period o1 last year. This increase, it is declar ed, would be considered as subject to a intuition profit tax. Another $15,O0O,O00 of probable taxation il represented in the increased ship ments abroad of boots and shoeis.
 Other marked increases are: Cat tie $2,0O0,O0g, horses $72,000,O00 mules 100000, brass and manu factures of brass $26,OO0,00CO, bread stuffs $251 100000, autos $63,00O,0 ,0o0 other vehicles $9,000,000, raw cottor s65, 100000, manufactured cotton $57, OO0,0O0, explosives $S0,0O0,G0O, fis} and fish products $4,00O,COO, rubber goods $7,OO0,O00, leather goods othel than boots and shoes $6S,000,OO0 meats $97,OCO,O00, dairy products $15,0oO,OOO, vegetable oils s12,O00,0 refined sugar $19,000,C00, raw tobac co $7,OO0,OOO, wool manufacture $22,0OO,OOC. and zinc manufacture $1S,O00,000.

tor of the church, assisted by Rev. A. Ii. Stowell, rector of Trinity Episco- pal church. It was a simp.e cere- mony, the service for the dead, simple, and all the more impressive on that account. pr. Norria spoke briefly in eulogy of Judge Grace, a few short sentences, which crowded into a few words of world of mean ing, a heart filled with sorrow and a voice choked with emotion. Not an eye was dry, as the preacher spoke, in that large gathering of mourners.
 All Pine Bluff Pays Tribute
 All Pine Bluff paid it's tribute or love, respect and sorrow to Judge Grace yesterday. The grief which was well-night silent Thursday night, found voice Friday Throughout the forenoon, friends called at the home. Messenger boys arrived with teie- grams cf condolence, others brought flowers and floral emblems. still others brought special delivery let ters all telling of sorrow and regret and love.
 The city's richest and biggest and most influential men were, even as was the poor widow and the child. Each strcve to express the sentiments experienced some by wealth of mag nificsht blossoms, others with more humble tokens. Little Jamie Gould sent small, be-spotted hcuseplant. his own, to be placed on the grave of his friend. Whites and negroes paid their tribute to good man, who had died.
 Among the telegrams, were mes sages from the governor of the state, and all the ether state officers; the states representatives in the national congress; the justices of the supreme court; circuit judges from every cir cult in the state; other county of- ficials throughout Arkansas; offici- als, and personal friends. in other states as we'll es in this state. From Mf. and Mrs. c. P. J. Mooney of Memphis Grace had known MT. Mooney since the managing edl- tor of the Memphis Commercial-Ap- peal was newspaper reporter in Fine Bluff-came the simple mes sage:
 "We extend to you our heartfelt sympathy"
 That message was emblematic of all the hundreds of messages receiv- ed Thursday evening and Friday. at the Grace home.

Congress Face to Face with Lean Purse and Prospect
 of Big Expenditures.
WAR AND SUGAR TAX
 PROVE INSUFFICIENT
Effort May Be Made to Impose 20 Per Gent on War Munitions Exported, and Increase the Tax on Large
 Incomes.

Washington, Dec. 3.-When con- gress opens it will be face to face with a lean pocketbook and the pros pect of bigger expenditures than ever before. Democratic leaders have been ransacking their brains for weeks trying to devise the best plan for rais- exchequer.
 The growing opposition inside the Democratic party to the plan to keep the revenue issue out of con- gress, and as far as possible out of the campaign, by issuing the $24O,- 00C,000 Panama canal bonds which are available, has become so marked that there are signs of abndonment of the plan. If this is done, the ad- ministration will be face to face, on the eve of the campaign opening, with the necessity of raising more than $200,000000 revenue. The popular resentment which will be caused by the imposition of any such burden has been the strongest argument for the bond scheme.
 Intimation of the steps the admin istration will take to meet the emer- gency has been given from time to time by the kinds of information the fiscal officers of the government have been gathering for several months. Figures as to the amount that could be raised by reducing the exemption under the income tax law by $l,OOO have been prepared for Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. Figures have been gathered also as to the produc- tion and exportation of munitions of war. From these things, observers have deduced that both stiffer in- come tax and tax of some kind on war profits are being considered by the Democratic leaders in their ef- forts to increase Uncle Sans income Talk of a federal inheritance tax has been renewed, but the one thing be- lieved to be absolutely certain is that there will be no material revlslOn oI the Underwood tariff.
 Underwood Busy Man.
 Senator Underwood has been hold ing many conferences with the presl- dent trying to find solution for the problem. The senator does not be- lieve that a bond. issue would meet the situation, so far as the increased national defense requirements are concerned. It is proposed to make the increased expenditures perlna- nent, he points out, and he does lot believe it a goood policy to issue bonds to meet current expenses.
 Continuing the tax on sugar, and re-enacting the war tax bill will fall far short of meeting the situation. These measures will simply maintain the present income, whereas it is pro posed to spend approximately $15O,- 00C,OOO more for the army and navy and $50,OOO,OO0 under the ship pur- chase plan, while the total deficit for the present year, which must be con- sidered in estimating how much reve- nue will be needed, will be $6o,OOO,- 900, if expenditures on the Panama canal are included.
 The need of revenue has started talk of a war munitions tax among certain Democratic leaders. The plan at first suggested was tax upon wal

PRAISE FROM
 MINISTER'S WIFE
Tells of Her Long Suffering and How She Found Relief-llusband Joins
 in Commanding Cardui.

Waynesville, N. C,-Mrs. Joseph Try, wife of the Pastor of Jonathan Circuit, Western North Carolina Con- ference, M. F. Church. South, writes:
 About 1899, about fifteen years .lgo, 1 had severe case of Typhoid Fever and relapse, which left me in very bad condition, which got worse all the time. Was so nervous, could not stay in the room alone for five minutes. and 1 was irregular. :. My nervousness was an awful worry to me and my friends, and I couldn't sleep for four or five nights at q time. The doctors would often have to give mo something to make me sleep. . Could do none of my work and had to keep a cook.
 I then began taking Cardui and aft CT I had taken half bottle I felt was improving and not so very long afterwards l was able to go to church. .. Alter I had taken four or five bottles. l was able to turn off my cook and do my own work, and I got back to my correct mental condition, for I had been so nervous and absent minded, since my illness. I was also able to return to school and re- sume my studies and my piano les sons at Trinity College where I was in attendance.''
 Rev. MT. Fry writes: 'Shc cannot praise Cardui too highly. It is well worth what it costs. I will recom- mend it to any lady in poor health"
 Can you doubt the merit of Cardui, in the face of such evidence? Give it trial. All good druggists sell Cardui.

On the Republican side, Senator the way to raise more revenues.
 "I would increase the income tax on large incomes, say above $20.000," he says. And I would impose an inheritance tax like the amendment l proposed to the Underwood tariff bill. In that I excepted inheritances of less than S50.000 but had the rate progressive until on very large in heritances it would be one-half the total"
