McMULLEN URGES
BETTER SALARIES FOR
SCHOOL TEACHERS
State Comptroller Says High Stand
ard of Education Must be Main
tained-Justice TO The Teachers
Demands Ii.

Demands Ii.
State Comptroller Hugh A. McMul-
len has given a statement on the
question of better compensation for
public school teachers. In this
statement Mr.. McMullen says:
The public schools of Maryland are
rightly considered one of the very
fundamental necessities of govern
ment The future good government
of any political unit depends entirely
upon the training of the children
who are to become its citizens.
The child who has good moran
training and who has received an
education to tit it for the highest
duties of life, is great acquisition
to society.
The public schools of Maryland
are doing a great work and the qua
lily of that work should be constant
ly improved as the years go by. In
order to do this it is essential that
the teachers in the schools should be
men and women Of the highest char
acter, of strong mentality, equipped
with knowledge and trained for their
profession.
If we are to have this desirable
condition it is necessary that those
who devote themselves to the pro-
fession of teaching should receive a
just and fair salary for the services
they render. At present the salaries
paid school teachers are very low
when compared with those paid in
other lines of work demanding the
same intelligence and training.
For this reason many teachers are
leaving the schools of Maryland to
take up commercial work or to ac-
cept appointments as teachers in
other States where the salaries paid
are larger than in Maryland.
AS / see the question the greatest
necessity is to maintain the highest
standard of education in the State Of
Maryland and if to do this a greater
expenditure Of money is required, I
am in favor of it, because, first, it is
a necessity, and secondly, it is no
more than simple justice to those
who devote their lives to teaching
the children that they be properly
recompensed for their services.

tion will be 1000 less under each
tar. as explained above. He will be
allowed an exemption of only $3,Ooo
under the old Income. Tax law. leav-
ing $1,000 upon which he will pay
2 per cent, or $40. And he will be
allowed an exemption OF but $1,OOo
-under the War Income tax, leaving
$4,000 upon which he will pay per
cent, or $50. His total payment TO
the Government will be $40.
The illustration just given applies
to the man or woman who has an in
come which is affected by both OF
the taxes. The great masses OF the
people are not affected by the old
Income Tax law. They have incomes
under $4,000. which is the starting
point under that law. But most OF
the masses. however, have incomes
which are affected by the War In
come tax. the starting point Of which
is $1,000. All persons having in
comes between $1,000 and $4,000
should give careful attention to their
obligation to the Government. Peo-
pie who have been paying under the
old Income Tax are more or less Ia
miliar with the procedure, Out those
who were not affected until the War
Income tax went into effect may have
some difficulty.
They should make it their bust
ness to understand their obligation
and to meet it. Ignorance is no ex-
cuse. And they should be careful
not to attempt evasions. not to dodge
their proper payments. They will be
checked up, for employers are re
quired to report for what they make
in addition to their own reports. At
tempts to dodge the income taxes
will very likely land the culprits in
jail.
As stated above, all returns mus

Under the old Income law, every per

Must Make Report And Pay Tax
Married Men With Incomes of ST.
600 or More Must Settle up-Re-
turns Must be in by March 1st.

Beginning with the new year. just
one week Oft. Collector OF Internal
Revenue Joshua w. Miles will re-
ceive returns from all persons who
must pay income taxes under the old
Income Tax law and under tn eWar
Revenue act. The returns will be
for the calendar year 1917. They
must be in not later than March l..
Payment must be made not later
than June Is. Failure to obey the
law is punishable by fine of from $40
to $1,000 and by imprisonment for
as much as one year.
The war income tax will add a
tremendous number of taxpayers.
Under the old Income Tax law So
900 was the starting point for taxa
ton. If a man or woman had an
income in excess of $4,000, and was
not married nor the head of family,
he or she paid upon all excess of 3d.
900. That is, if John Jones were a
single man, without dependents,a and
had an income of $500, he paid
taxes on $500. that being the excess
over the $4,000 starting point. But
under the war income tax the start
ing point is $1,000. If William
Smith has an income of $1,000 and
has no family obligations, he will
pay upon 5000. that being the ex-
cess over the starting point.
There is an exemption of $1,000
for persons with family obligations
under each tax That is, the man or
woman who is married or who is the
head iof family is allowed an addi-
ti0nal $1,000 of income free OF
taxes. Under the old Income Tax
law. if John Jones were married or
were the head of a family, his start
hg point for taxes would be $4,000.
4 he had an income of $4,000, he
would pay on $500. Under the war
income tax, if William Smith were
married or were the head of a fami-
ly, his starting point would be ST.
900. If he had an income of $4,000,
he would pay on $500. In case a
man and his wife each have taxable
incomes, only one may have the ex-
emptions.
The rate under each tax is per
cent. II the income is taxable under
each act, the total rate is per cent,
but the owner calculates upon a diff
ferent figure for each tax. For ex-
ample, Henry Brown is a married
man, with an income of $4,000 a
year. Because he is married, he is
entitled to an exemption of $4,000
under the old Income Tax law and
an exemption OF $1,000 under the war
income tax. In calculating what he
owes the Government under the old
Income Tax law he deducts his ex-
emption of $4,000 from his $4,000 in
come, which leaves $1,000, and he
pays 2 per cent. on that, or $40. In
calculating what he owes the Gov
eminent under the war income tax
he deducts his exemption of $4,000
from his $4,000 income, which lea
YES $4,000. and he pays per cent.
ON that. or $50. His total tax pay
sment e $50.

Why Doctors Prescribe
Bi-nesia for Indigestion
Remarkable Benefits Experienced by Thousands Must Lead
General Recognition of Binesia Worlds Greatest
Remedy for Stomach Troubles Generally.

About five years ago a chemist be-
came much interested in the case of
friend, who. although he had spent
months in the hospital and had been
created by numerous physicians could
get no relief from the Indigestion and
stomach trouble which had finally be-
come so severe that no food could be
taken without suffering the most in
tense agony.
Believing that his friends trouble
was due entirely to excessive acidlty
and food fermentation, the chemist set
to work to find neutraliZing agent or
neutrate which would safely neutral
iZe the acid. stop the food fermenta-
tion and give the stomach a chance
TO digest food under normal condi-
tions and without hindrance. After
much study and many tests. he per-
fected product, which he asked his
astounding. Food that had always
caused intense agony now caused no
disturbance. Eating became a pleas
ure instead of a trial; pain, indiges-
tion. gas, etc. all disappeared and in
"A short time the erstwhile chronic
dyspeptic was enjoying better health
than in many years and had forgotten
that such thing as indigestion eN-
isted This remarkable product
which is known by your druggist as
Bi-nesia was then tried in thousands
Of different cases of stomach trouble
with such uniform success as to lead
to the belief that at least nine people
out of ten who have stomach trouble
are really suffering directly or in
directly from the effects of acidity of
fermentation. To-day hundreds of
thousands, including many thousands
of soldiers in the trenches on the
western front, owe their good diges-
tion and freedom from pain after
meals and ability to eat hearty meals
to the discovery of this wonderful
neutrate.

Eclipse of the Sun
to Be Observed

Chicago, ul.-The department of
astronomy and astronomicS at the
University of Chicago is preparing to
observe a total eclipse of the sun,
one of the six to occur in the United
States during this century, which will
be visible on June s, 1918, over n
narrow strip having a maximum
width of about sixty miles and eX-
tending from the State of Washing
ton through parts of Oregon, Wyom-
ing and Idaho, across Colorado and
Kansas and finally reaching Florida
about sunset. The duration of to-
tality will be two minutes and two
seconds at the coast of Washington,
and less than half of that time in
Florida.
Edwin Brant Frost, director of the
Yerkes Observatory, and his collea-
que. Prof. Edward Emerson Barn
ard, astronomer at the observatory,
recently spent week in Denver,
where the University of Denver has
placed it's facilities at the disposal of
the party from Chicago.
From a study of the observations
and from estimates of cloudiness in
June made for several years by vol
unteers along the path of the shadow,
it appeared that certain regions in
the mountains of Colorado were
likely to be cloudy in the afternoon.
! This applies also to Denver. Ac-
cordingly a side trip was made by Di-
rector Frost to Green River Wyo.,
point on the Union Pacific railway
between Cheyenne and Ogden. This
station is situated in the Red Desert,
at an elevation of 5000 feet. A suit
able station near the town was read
| lily selected and the transparency of
| the air was extraordinary On the day
spent there. This station seems one
of the most promising of any along
the line of totality.
However, to guard against condi-
tions which may spoil the prepara-
! tions of many months, another site
was selected about 60 miles southeast
! of Denver on the Rock Island railway
near Matheson, Col, at an elevation
| of about 5000 feet. This site also is
/ favorable.
1t is not the present plan to have
members of the party from the Yer
| kes Observatory at this latter point,
although instruments may be sent
| here for use by others. The station
at Green River will be the principal
one for the University of Chicago
observers. The whole undertaking,
however. depends on the ability of
the university to supply adequate
funds.
The only previous expedition from
the Yerkes Observatory for observ-
ing a solar eclipse was in 1900, to
Wadesboro. n. c., where the total
eclipse on May 2S was observed with
satisfactory results.

GAS, HEARTBURN,
INDIGESTION OR
A SICK STOMACH
"Pape's Diapepsin" relieves
stomach distress in
five minutes.

Time it! Pape's Diapepsin will
sweeten a sour, gassy or out-of- order
stomach within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or what you eat lies like a lump of
lead in your stomach, or if you have
heartburn, that is usually sign of
acidity of the stomach.
Get from your pharmacist a fifty
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take a dose just as soon as you can.
There will be no sour risings, no
belching of undigested food mixed
with acid, no stomach gas or heart
burn, fullness or heavy feeling in the
stomach, nausea, debilitating head
aches or dizziness. This will all go
and, besides, there will be no sour
food left over in the stomach to
poison your breath with nauseous
odors.
Pape's Diapepsin helps to neutra-
lie the excessive acid in the stomach
which is causing the food fermen-
tation and preventing proper diges-
ton.
Relief in five minutes is waiting
for you at any drug store.
These large fifty-cent cases con-
tain enough 'Pape's Diapepsin" to
usually keep the entire family free
from stomach acidity and it's symp-
toms of indigestion, dyspepsia, sour
ness. gases, heartburn, and headache,
for many months. 1t belongs in your
home.-Adv.
