State Wins in Two
Tax Appeal Cases
by Court Opinions

Victories were won to-day by the
State in two tax appeal cases, in de-
cisions handed down by Additionaf
Law Judge s. ]. NJ. McCarrell of the
Dauphin county courts.
In the appeal of the South Lincoln
Land Company of Schuylkill county
the figures of the States accounting
officers were disputed because the
company contended that a couple or
tracts of land which had been held for
mining purposes had been over assess
ed by some $4,000 and that the prop
erty in question had never yielded a
pound of coal as had been expected.
The property has been held ror
twenty years for coal mining purposes
and assessments to pay taxes, ETC., had
TO be raised from among the stock
holders. In 1913 the valuation was
boosted from $4,000 to S44. 200 and
tax for that sum was imposed by the
State. Judge McCarrell permits the
State to collect for taxation on the
$4,000 valuation, a verdict which
totals S140.91.
The other case was an appeal by
the Pittsburgh Bank of Savings In
which the State is enabled to collect
the one-third of one per cent bonus on
capital stock. This amounts to S2,-
6ST.5S. The bank had been the Dime
Savings Institution of Pittsburgh until
1866 when the corporate name was
changed. The capital was then s75,-
600. A surplus of S525,000 was con-
verted into stock, the capitalization
being increased in 1908 to $500, 900.
1t is on this additional capitalization
that the State is allowed its one-third
per cent.

WEAK AND TIRED WOMAN
Tells How Vinol Made Her

Harrisburg women who are weak,
rundown and suffer from the conse-
quept effects of such condition will
be interested in Mrs. Odell's letter. She
says:
Il am a farmers wife and was all
rundown. weak. tired. and suffered
from indigestion, and sometimes
seemed as though l could not keep
around and do my housework. l had
taken many medicines without benefit.
one day l saw Vinol advertised. and
made up my mind 10 try it. l have
taken four bottles and have gained
seven pounds in weight, am much
stronger. and feel many years younger
than before. Sarah Oden. Lock-
port, y. y.
The reason Ninol builds up weak,
run down women so quickly is because
il contains a delicious combination of
l:;ost successful tonics. beef and cod
liver peptones, iron and manganese
peptonates and glycerophosphates, in
q mild tonic wine.
We want to say to every weak. rum
down, overworked woman in Harris
burg that we will return your money

Need of National Spirit

welt made an address on "Nationalism
in Art and Literature at the joint
session of the Academy of Arts and
Letters and of the National Institute

to fight for a just cause" were few
of the many subjects touched upon.
His tributes to French valor were re-
ceived with great applause. The steno-

There is no more hopeless creature,
from the standpoint of humanity, than
the individual who calls himself cos

he spreads himself out so thin

from the blood and seek the skin as
one of the natural outlets of the body.
And If you supply your blood with the
proper materials it will convert the
body poisons into harmless substance
and pass off in perspiration instead of
ugly accumulations. These waters work
quick. Their action is constant as they
