.SMIETANKA'S
GOOD SHOWING
Collector of Internal Revenue
Makes Annual Report to
Uncle Sam.

Chicago drank more beer, smoked
less expensive cigars and fewer Gig.
arettes, used more distilled spirits and
less opium and more snuff in 1916
than it did in 1915.
These interesting facts were dis.
closed by the annual report of julius
F. Smietanka, collector OF internal rev.
enue in Chicago.

amounted to s26, 195, 033.14, an increase
Of $3,246,1SS.O1 over 1915.
The government tax on beer col
lected for the year reached the big
total of $S,066.335, compared to a col.
lection of $7,4O7, 1850 in 1915.
The amount that the brewers paid
into the United States treasury was
almost equal to the combined corpo-
ration and individual income tax col.
lections for the year. The corporation
income tax collected amounted to a..
310,3S5.57 and the individual income
tax to $4,360,414.9s. Both corporation

disappears and 10, one more drinker
is saved and knows not when or why
he lost the taste for drink.
One woman who used this prescrip-
ton on her husband says: 1T is going
on the fourth week since he has
touched a drop of anything in the
form of liquor or used tobacco of any
kind He seems already like a diff
ferent man. Tescum has gained a
wonderful enthusiast in me. | regard
il as a Godsend. Just think, l have
never seen. my husband sober for
more than As hours in years and now
1t is going on one month since he had
his last drink"
Another one gratefully writes: "T
have used tescum powders on my hus-
band and find il one OF the greatest
cures in this world. He hasn't taken
drink for almost five weeks and says
he never will. My home does not
seem like the same place and life
seems worth living. ! hope thousands
gain what I have. This has been n
good new year for me without drink
in my home"
NOTE-Tescum, referred to above,
should be used only when II is desir-
able to destroy all taste for alcoholic
drinks of every kind. The wife who
approves of drinking in moderation

sirable to build the highest types of
road surface for the temporary or
emergency movement of artillery
and supplies. Roads built with as
phalt sent over from England have
recently been constructed in the rear
OF the French -elg.um front. Roads
so improved gave far better service
than any type heretofore attempted
under the swift and heavy move
ments necessitated by the artillery
action which precedes infantry at
tacks. 1t was observed that motor
trucks and gun carriages suffered
no injury in movement over these
hastily constructed asphalt pave
ments, while frequent breakdowns
were experienced when oad-build-
ing was not attempted.

These experiments being done, a
mission including officers of the Brit
ish and French engineer corps look
ed over the pavements in the envir-
ons of Paris built in the last three
or four years. Among other roads
inspected early in this month was
the Trinidad asphalt pavement laid
on the road to Versailles which has
been carrying heavy artillery traffic
ever since the war began. AS q
result of these experiments and in
vestigations it has been decided
wherever possible, to construct simi-
lar furnaces for the movement OF
military traffic in regions where
roads have been destroyed or where
they may be made necessary by
battle plans.

STATE CARE FOR
BLIND NEEDED
Report Submitted to the Gov
ernor by. Commissioners
Named Last Winter

Recommendation that the State OF
Pennsylvania provide for the feeble
minded blind as we'll as for the blind
who are able to work is contained
in q report of a commission named
q year ago blythe Governor to study
the subject. The commission was
composed of men prominent In study
of the blind and charities.
The statement is made that while
there is much concern over the care
of feeble-minded women, special at
tention should be given to the feeble
minded who can not see, it being
suggested that classes of ten be
formed at Polk ana other institu-
tIons. AS to the blind who live at
home, the. report says that the agen-
cies to care. for them are very few
and that efforts to teach such, people
to earn living, as is done with adult
blind who are normal mentally,
should be undertaken.
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Or
ganizations have demonstrated what
can be done with appropriations for
the blind and there are big oppor-
tunities. 1t is suggested that classes
be formed for children with weak
eyes as has been done in Cleveland
and that attendance be made COM
pulsory.
The report goes into great detail
regarding the work of the institu-
tions for the. blind in Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh.

Six months of feeding of 20 head

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.-Advertise
