WHAT DYSPEP TICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are,
nine times out of ten, due to
aeidity; therefore stomach suf-
ferers should, whenever possible,
avoid eating food that Is acid in
Its nature, or which by chemical
action in the stomach develops
acidity. Unfortunately, such
rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant to the taste as we'll
as those which are rich in blood,
flesh and nerve building proper
ties. This is the reason why dys-'
peptics and stomach sufferers are
usually SO thin, emaciated and
lacking In that vital energy which
can only come from we'll fed
body. For the benefit of those
sufferers who have been obliged
to exclude from their diet all
starchy, sweet OF fatty food, and
are trying to keep up a miser-
able existence on gluten prod
ucts, I would suggest that you
should try meal of any food or
foods which you may like, in
moderate amount, taking imme-
diately afterwards a teaspoonful
of bisurated magnesia in little
hot or cold water. This will neu-
tralze' any acid which may be
present, or which may be formed,
and instead OF the usual feeling
of uneasiness and fullness, you
will find that your food agrees
with you perfectly. Bisurated
magnesia is doubtless the best
food corrective and antacid
known. 1t has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutraliz-
ing the acidity of the food con-
tents, and thus removing the
source of the acid irritation which
inflames the delicate stomach lin
ing, it does more than could pos
sibly be done by any drug or
medicine. AS a physicians be-
lieye in the use of medicine when
ever necessary, but | must admit
that | cannot see the sense of dos
ing an inflamed and irritated
stomach with drugs instead of
getting rid of the acid-the cause
of all the trouble. Get a little
bisurated magnesia from your
druggist, eat what you want at
your next meal, take some of the
bisurated magnesia as directed
above, and see il I'm not right"

individual would make me

! will show you, however, that
many of those who have most
largely failed in the payment OF
income taxes are those who are
best able and who should most
readily pay their just share OF
the nations expenses.
But the identity of the thieves
is for the present minor ques-
tion. The big question relates to
the amount of revenue which the
nation is losing through the fail
ure to collect the income tax.
This question must be an
swered largely by statistical
proofs, which, to be convincing,
must be set forth in detail.
| Through them ] will show you
that the national income is much
greater than the estimates which
are currently accepted. The ma
tional income in 1910, as can be
demonstrated from federal sta
tistics, was approximately thirty
six and one-half billion, instead
of the thirty billions at which it
has generally been estimated.
Omit the Increment.
The income which was inten-
tionally or unintentionally omit
ted in making these estimates of
national income was that derived
from the increment in the value
of property.
This omitted income, amount
ing to more than six billion dol
lars year in 1910 is exactly the
income which is most largely sub
Jeet to the income tax In 1914
this value-increment had grown
to be not less than eight billion
dollars year and only an insig-
nificant fraction of it was as
sessed under the income tax.
Similarly the tax failed almost
entirely to reach the gains result
ign from speculative transactions.
which from January to June,
1918, were enormous. The prof
its from speculation in "war
babies alone amounted to more
than $10O,000,000!
In the articles which are to fol-
low | will discuss all these ques-
tions in detail.
Regarded as Joke.
The facts to understand now
are these: etqt
The rich regard the income tax,
enacted by the people after a
quarter century fight, as a joke.
They laugh at it, in their clubs
and in their offices.
Why shouldn't they laugh at
it? The internal revenue bureau
has only one income tax agent
for every 100000 people; the
tax dodger is protected by the Sc
crecy clause of the law from
everything except chance detec-
ton; and there has never been an
indictment for fraud, except-an
Italian feather importer, who had
already been caught smuggling by
the customs service.
VIII President Wilson and Sec
rotary McAdoo allow the income
tax to remain joke?
Or will they exercise the power
that is i'm their hands and make
it one of our greatest sources of
revenue?

have planned as the final fight to end
agitation in the house over the ques-
ton of armed merchant ships, debate
on the subject broke out on the house
floor and continued holly for more
than an hour. When it was over there
seemed to be more Of a partisan align
ment than at any time since the issue
arose.
Realizing the task ahead of them,
the administration whips sent out calls
to al absent Democrats within reach
to return to Washington in time to
vote.
The presidents supporters believe
that large majority Of the Democrats
as we'll as many Republicans will stand
together to put through the rule and
kill the McLemore resolution.

VILLAGE NEAR VERDUN TAKEN
FORCES CAPTURED BY GERMANS
IN INFANTRY ATTACK.
Teutons Attempt to Advance From
Town But Are Driven Back
by French.

London, March 7-Further advances
by the Germans-in the Verdun re-
gion and in Champagne-are told of
in the latest French official communi-
cation, which, however, also records
successes in repelling a German at
tempt to debouch further from a cap
tured position, the driving of the Teu-
tons out of trench they had taken,
and the hammering with the French
big guns of German organizations.
In Champagne, the Germans made
an attack with jets of liquid flame,
evidently delivered by the same appa-
ratus as that employed by the Austr1-
ans on the Galician front.
Germans Held in Village.
After having vigorously shelled the
region between Bethincourt and the
Meuse, the Germans in a strong in
fantry attack captured the village of
FORCES, about nine miles northwest Of
Verdun. Not satisfied with the gains,
they several times essayed to debouch
from the village against the Cote de
'Oie, but the French in counter-at-
tacks forced them back into the vii
lage and held them there.
In Champagne, the right and left
TANKS of the French were attacked by
the Germans in the region between
Mont Tetu and Maisons de Cham
payne. At the former point, the
French fire kept the Germans in their
trenches, but near Massons de Cham
payne they succeeded in occupying a
small section of French trench.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
SO Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton VIII Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unn0tiCeable.

So many rumors have been circu~
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incCT-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorpOrated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in agri
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital Of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others, of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by eXempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax.
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost OF
the war.-Advertisement

CONFERENCE WITH WILL

HOUSE COMMITTEE TO
REPORT WARNING BILL
Agrees Upon Special Rule for Four
hours Debate on McLemore
ResoIution-Regard PreIim-
mary Victory for Admins
tration Forces.

Washington, March 7.-E. NJ House,
who has just returned from Europe,
where he visited Berlin, London and
Paris as a special envoy from Wash
ington is understood to have told
President Wilson that he found no
more prospects for peace during his
recent visit to the capitals Of belliger
ent nations than he did on his visit
last spring.
The President and Mr. House talked
so long that the President was forty
minutes late keeping his IRIS engage
ment at the executive offices, a very
unusual proceeding for him.
Strengthens White House View.
Colonel House is said to have told
the president and Secretary Lansing
that the German government believed
itself justified in it's new submarine
policy and was not blufing.
Colonel House is believed to have
strengthened the view already held
by both the president and Secretary
Lansing that the submarine negotia-
tons must be handled with the great
est care if break with Germany is
to be avoided, although he reported
that Germany had no desire for war
with the United States. He discuss
ed the issue frankly with Herr Won
JagoW, the German foreign minister
and DR.. Won Bethman- HolWeg, the
imperial chancellor.
To Report Measure.
The House rules committee has
agreed upon and will bring into the
House today a special rule for four
hours debate on the McLemore reso-
luton warning Americans off armed
ships of the European belligerents.
This action puts the much discussed
resolution into parliamentary posi-
ton where administration leaders are
confident they can kill it.
Is Preliminary Victory.
The four hours debate on the Nc
Lemore resolution itself will be even
ly divided between the administration
forces and those opposed to it and
will be preceded by an hour and half
of debate on the adoption of the spe-
cial rule. The rules committees &C.

administration forces which have been
fighting for week against delays,
parliamentary tactics and straight out

This expectancy has been heighten-

Russian torpedo boats are reported
to have been seen near the island of

Baltic to the south of Stockholm.
The general opinion in Scandinavia
is said to be that Great Britain and

Germans Ready for Dash.
The ice already has partly broken
up and thus rendered it easy for fore

opinion privately for several days that
the Germans are preparing to venture
out and that important events are

officials believe this, obviously moth
