Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania, one of

clared, was head of the armor mo-

Norris of Nebraska offered a substitute,
however. which provided that the Sec

Congress an itemiZed statement of the

Weeks and others pointed out that this

proposed in the amendment of Senator
Weeks. and Senator Page said that any

House Action

Debate on the Hay army in

ate Senator Chamberlain decided TO
utilize the time for passage of the bill

The debate in the House at once de-
veloped opposition TO the proposal to
put the National Guard under federal
control, Representative Fields. demo-
crat. of Kentucky asserting that court
decisions showed the guard could not
be federalized without a constitutional
amendment.

mer Secretary Garrison of the War De-
partment that many members of the Ma

guard for federal purposes through desire
that IL should continue to share in federal
appropriations, and not for reason of
sound military policy.
The Tilson amendment was rejected
without a division. Those who op-
posed it insisted that the bill already
accomplished everything the amend

BIG INCOME TAX
RETURNS EXPECTED
Amount Will Exceed That Shown
Last Year.
GAINS FROM CORPORATIONS
Chairman Hauyen of State Commits
sion Says Industrial Prosperity
Is Cause of Good Showing
in Wisconsin.

Madison.-That the receipts under
the state income tax law will be larger
this year than last year, and from
present indications will be larger next
year than ever before was the gist or
a statement made by Nils 2. Haugen,
chairman of the state tax commission.
"While the returns have not all been
compiled, the figures indicate that DUR
ing the last part of the year 1919 man
ufacturers were particularly prosper
Gus and this prosperity shows in the
amount Of income subject to taxation
said Mr.. Haugen. ''It may be, however
that the increase in the tax will come
largely from the corporations, as this
prosperity had scarcely reached the
Individual by that time. The returns
are now being tabulated in the differ
ent counties of the state for the lndl-
vidual income taxes, and these results
will soon be available"
Mr. Haugen said that from the
standpoint of the manufacturer the
year 1916 has been unusually prosper
Gus and when it comes to collect the
tax of the earnings of the corporations
for the year 1916 he believes the re-
suits will show that the tax will be
the largest collected since the law was
put into effect.

Health Conditions Win Notice.

The health record of the Wisconsin
troops in Texas is so good that Off
ciaI cognition of the fact has been
taken by General Funston and Briga
der General Greene, the latter conn
handing the newly formed division OF
Wisconsin, Illinois and Kansas bri,
gades.
In an official communication to Gen.
eral Richardson, General Funston
says:
1.-THE health record for the Wiscon,
sin brigade for the month of August,
as shown by the sanitary statistics, is
so good that it is desired to take of,
fetal cognizance of the fact.
''The First Wisconsin infantry
showed an average on sick report OF
only about per 1000 from both i'll
ness and injury with a minimum Of
per cent per 1000. The Third Wiscon-
sin had an average of little over
per 1000 and there were two days with
no one on sick report and six days
with only one case. The Second Wis
cOnsin for the nineteen days reported
showed a rate on sick report equiva-
lent to per 1000. Between August
% and September 1 this last regiment
had only four cases admitted to sick
report, all of which returned to duty
within "A hours. These three regi.
ments aggregate a strength of about
$3.50 men,"
The report adds that the smaller
Wisconsin organizations such as the
troop and cavalry, show a similar free
dom from illness.
Brigadier General Greene, indorsing
General Funston's remarks, adds "This
is an unusually fine record"
General Funston said that doubt
lessly the men are in better health
than they would have enjoyed had
they stayed at home.

constituents are widely prescribed by emil

older inorganic iron products, 1t Is easily

on the contrary it is a most potent rem

The manufacturers have such great con-

forfeit $4,000 to any charitable institution
if they. cannot take any man or woman

six Cities Have Fairgrounds.

Six Wisconsin cities maintain super

Milwaukee leads the list in having
Is Fairgrounds run all year under the
direction of four supervisors and "A
directors. The equipment includes
swings, teeter-bOards, giant strides,
basket ball courts, volley ball, baseball,

Superior has six Fairgrounds, with
one supervisor and six instructors.
Racine, although it has eight play
grounds, under supervisor and ten

period of ten weeks during the sum-
mer
Sheboygan, a much smaller city,
maintains two Fairgrounds under a
supervisor. The season is six weeks
long during the summer.
Madison maintains four Fairgrounds
under the direction of a supervisor.
Various parks have afforded facilities
and equipment for Fairgrounds, and the
park boards and school boards have
co-Operated in maintaining them. Elev-
en- instructors direct the play of the
children, and the attendance in one
season averages about $4,000.
Kenosha has supervised recreation

NEW YORK, n. Y.-NOt long ago q
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination Tor
life insurance. I was astOnished to
find him with the blood pressure of
boy of 20 and as full of vigOr, vim and
vitality as a young man; in fact
young man he really was notwithstand-
ing his age. The secret he said was
taking iron-nuxated iron had filled
him with renewed life. At 80 he was
in bad health; at 46 careworn and
nearly all in. Now at so miracle OF
vitality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy Of youth. AS have said a
hundred times over, iron is the great
est Of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medi-
cines and nauSeOuS connections and
take simple nuXated iron, am con-
vinced that the lives of thousands OF
persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than a weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing YOU any good. You don't
get the strength out of it anC as con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking just like plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets of or
binary nuxated iron three times per

State Employees to Study.

A plan whereby employees Of state
power plants may take a course of in
struction bearing directly on their
work, under the direction of the ex-
tension division of the University OF
Wisconsin, cooperating with the civil
service commission, was made at
conference held recently at the state
capitol.
Representative of the state en-
cheering department, the state board
OF control, the university, the state
normal schools and the civil service
commission were present at the confer
ence, and the unanimous judgment OF
the entire body was in favor of the
plan.
That engineers and fremen in the
institutions of the state should be do
ing something definite to increase
their efficiency to the state and also to
benefit themselves was the opinion OF
the conference. Such q course OF Stud3
will result in a greater economy II
fuel, increased safety in the operation
of the plants and better upkeep, II
is believed.
If the plan is carried out, the courses
Of study will be offered by the exten.
sion division of the University of Wis
consin and will be approved by the en'
cheering department. The courses
will be required by all firemen and Ell
gineers of the state power plants, and
the fees necessary to take such courses
will be paid by the institution deriving
the benefit from the work.
