An Old Mans stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to
meet the demands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually taken, the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age of SIS or
90. you will find that he is a light
cater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and you will
feel the need of Chamberlain's Tab
let's to~correct the disorder. These
tablets do not contain pepsin, but
strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform its functions naturally.

The Coal Monopoliat.

The Federal Trade Commission
takes note of the fact that land
monopoly is at the bottom of the
shortage in coal supply and recon-
mends removal of the landlord, who
happens in this case to be the coal
carrying railroads. The Commission
deserves credit for it's boldness in
making clear, what other official in
vestigators have blinked.
The ownership of coal lands by
railroad corporations or interest OF
coal land owners in railroads, has
made Independent operation of coal
mines difficult. Congress and State
legislatures have tried to remedy the
matter by forbidding ownership OF
coal lands by railroads. The futility
of such measure could be foreseen
easily. Now the Trade Commission
recommends that the government
take over the railroads and mines,
and thus become itself both landlord
and carrier. The private monopo-
list will thus be abolished, and with
him out of the way less difficulty is
to be expected in production and dis
tribution of the coal supply.
This is not the way that all pro-
gressives would have handled the
question. The Single Takers, for
example, would say that government
ownership of the mines might be
avoided, if it were made improbable
to withhold valuable coal lands from
use. A tax on land values sufficient
to absorb the entire rental value,
would compel the owners to permit
use of enough coal lands to ensure
production of sufficient supply
while substitution of government
control of public highways for
private control would be the remedy
for discrimination.
However, it is a splendid thing
that one kind of land monopolist has
been officially recognized as an
enemy of the public good. And
whatever difference of opinion there
may be concerning methods to get
rid of him, there is much to be
thankful for in the fact that some
kind of determined effort to abolish
him is to be made.

NEW INCOME TAX LAW.
Everybody Making $1,000 or Over
Must Report to Uncle Sam
Blanks To BE
Filled

With the new war tax in effect the
ultimate consumer is getting it from
two sides--an increased cost of GER
tain necessities and a tax upon his
income.
The income tax, which hits thous-
ands, covers the period from January
1, 1917 to December 81, 1917, and
must be paid on or before March /,
1918. All persons making $1,000
and over year must report.
All those who are affected by the
law must make returns to the Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue between
January 1, 1918, and March 1, 1918.
Returns will not be. received before
the end of this year nor after the
latter date.
1t is incumbent upon each person
subject to the tax to apply for blanks
at the Office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, which is on the
second floor of the 'Custom-house
The person taxed must apply there
but not before January 1, for the
blanks will not be ready until that
time.
Single men whose net income is
$1,000 annually and married men
whose net income is $4,000 annually
can claim exemption for this amount
but from these figures and up the
TAX will apply.
Five-cent cigarettes now cost six
cents in many stores. Cigars that
used to sell for ten are costing
eleven and twelve, according to the
class of trade. And so it goes
1t is the desire of the federal au-
thorities to have those subject to the
income tax aware of the fact that the
old law has not been repealed by the
new. The income tax law, which
was passed October 8, 1913, which
covered the period from March 1,
1918, to December 1, 1914, returns
from which were filed March 1, 1914,
still is in force. The new law only
goes lower and reaches the smaller
man.
There will be no excuse for failing
to make returns if the person taxed
does not get blanks by mail. 1t is
incumbent upon the Individual to
apply for them, fill them out, file
them and pay his tax.

Drinking Responsible For The Short

drunkenness causes more delay in
the shipment and handling of coal
along the New England water front
than any other single factor accord
ing to speakers at the conference
between officials of the United States
Shipping Board, the Massacausett
Public Safety Committee and owners
of coal barges and tugs in the State
House, Boston, when tho owners op-
posed the pooling of coal carriers as
recommended by James j. Storrow
chairman Boston Coal Committee
Practically every address emphasized
this point, some adding that the
labor problem delayed shipments, in
practically every case, and that most
of this trouble was due to intoAi-
cation.

dent of the United States Shipping
Board, presided at the meeting, and
after recognizing the trend of the
speeches, interrupted with the query,

War Tax On Telephone Messages.

The preparation for the collection
of the five-cent tax on all telephone
messages of Is cents or over, has
been big job. In the case of pub
lie telephones with coin box attach
ments, the tax rate of 5 cents is to
be inserted as directed by the
operator, in the coin box by the per-
son who sends the message. Special
preparations for billing regular sub
scribers correctly for the tax imro~od
on their messages of Is cents anG
over, also had to be made N7t'ccs
giving full directions have Daon
placed on all public telephones ard
all subscribers have been advised by
their monthly bills, which eyplains
the method of making the charge for
the tax and gives digest of the law
relating to it.
The law not only applies t. ~
messages on which the rate is Is
cents or more per message. but also
to all messages on which the total
charge, including overtime, amounts
to Is cents or more.
The law directs that this tax shall
be collected from the person paying
for such message or conversation,
and places the responsibility for col
lection upon the Telephone Company.

Uncut Corn.

What shall I do with my uncut,
frozen corn fodder? This is ques-
ion many farmers are asking. Will
t pay at this late date, with the
lcarcity of labor and the need for
eginning to husk as soon as pos
ible, to bother cutting it? AS far
rs the feeding value of the fodder is
'oncerned it is almost nil. After
odder is frozen and subjected to
aims, corn stover carries very little
feeding value. Except where it is
needed for bedding or litter--a pur-
nose for which shredded corn fodder
s valuable--it might better be left
standing and be husked from the
talk. The stalks would then be re-
turned to the soil and provide con
7iderable humus and some fertility.
Where this practice is followed. it
; customary to break the stalks
down by dragging some long, heavy
Implement such as railroad iron or
plank drag, or even by rolling, when
he stalks are frozen. Then by disk
ing thoroughly before plowing, they
an be turned under with little
trouble. We believe it would be
economy to manage the still standing
corn in this way where the stalks
an be spared from the barn rather
han defer husking too long, and
aecause the cost of cutting is a
serious matter this fall.--Fennsyl-
vania Farmer.

Roads.
By orders of the State Board of
Prison Control a third squad of CON
victs from the Penitentiary is to be
put to work on the highways under
the State Roads Commission. Two
squads of Is men each now are at
work near the city and the third will
work not far away.
The men taken from the central
prison for this work are picked by
the warden and they are the most
able-bodied incarcerated there. Those
at work have shown a willingness
for the task and it has been found
that many more than can be taken
are anxious to go, as they want to
see the outside world once more.
The State Roads Commission is
pleased with the experiment. There
was fear at first that the men would
not do well. On the contrary they
nave picked up the knack of repair
ing the modern roads and go about it
with as much willingness as the free
labor and are just as effective after
they have learned how to do the
work.
Owing to the cold weather the
maintenance work will soon have to
be shut down, but when spring opens
there is no doubt that more squads
will be put out under the Roads
Commission and that the use of
certain number of men from the
prison will be made permanent.
