SENATE AMENDMENTS
ARE TO BE ACCEPTED
That Changes in Intangible Tax Law
Will Go Through House Is
Practically Assured.

Practical assurance that the House of
Representatives is ready to accept the
Senate amendments to the Intangible
tax law. as provided for by Senator
Sterling's amendments to the pending
District appropriation bill. was given
today when the House voted down Rep
resentative Johnson's motion to in
preparation bill to disagree with the
Senate's changes in the intangible tax
law. The vote was 2SS to 93
The conference report on the bill was
taken up in the House late last night,
and a disagreement was ordered on the
in Klingle Ford valley. Representative
johnson. who had previously declared
he would call for a separate vote on
the intangible .taN amendment, asked
that the House instruct the conferees
to disagree with the Senate in that par
ticular. The matter was left in the
air last night because of a threat of
no quorum.
Immediately upon converting today,
Representative johnson renewed his
motion. The defeat of the motion is
taken as an indication that the House
believes the intangible tax matter can
be left in the hands of the conferees
with safety The Sterling amendment
reduces the intangible tax from &
mills to 3 mills, and makes modifca-
tions of the law in other respects so as
to exempt building and loan associa-
tions. mutual insurance companies. etc.
and to abolish the tax in certain in
stances where it imposed double tax
on corporations.

Wants Americans Kept Off.

"a number of women and children
who arrived here last night on a steam
ship from the United States for Europe
were taken off today by government
authorities under a regulation which
provides that women and children may
not sail from a British port for Eng
land at present. Three American
women aboard the liner. which arrived
in port last night, were permitted to
continue the voyage. Clearance papers
were refused until twenty-five Cana
dian women and children had been re-
moved.
Citing this, Mr.. Bryan said: "If the
British government will not allow Brit
ish women and children to sail on Brit
ish ships bound for England why
should our government allow American
women and children, or even American
men. to take passage in British ships
bound for England or on belligerent
ships going into any danger?"

AMSTERDAM. March 1.-Commenting

President Wilson is trying to avoid
every aggressive word. He declares.
as far as this is concerned, he will
touch the question as he would an ex-
plosive, but at the same time he is
planning to arm merchant vessels
This arming will be followed by COL

outward signs indicate that the Ger
man nation is reconciled completely to
any eventuality growing out OF the
loss of American lives through the
sinking of the steamship Laconia.
There has just been received here
brief dispatch from Washington to the
effect that the United States govern
ment regards the torpedoing of the
liner as an overt act. There are no
indications, however, of any departure
from Germany's resolve to carry on
submarine warfare unretarded.
The remarks of Chancellor Won Beth

address to the reichstag yesterday.

submarine campaign is inspiring great
enthusiasm and is regarded as the
agency which is capable of forcing the
war to conclusion in Germanys
favor

TOKEEP WELL AND
ENJOY SUMMER
State Board Of Health Offers Ad-
vice On Summer Health Habits

In order to spend a comfort
able, healthful summer whether
at home or at some resort, says
the State Board of Health, one
must look first to his diet, ther
to his bathing, and then to his
sleep, exercise and recreation.
A few general precautions are
also included in the list.
The diet should consist largely
of raw and cooked fruits, we'll
cooked vegetables milk and but
ter, but very little of meat, eggs
and heavy foods. One should eat
less in summer than in winter
especially of heat-producing
foods such as meats, eggs,
and PARTIES. Besides producing
heat they tend to constipation
and mental sluggishness. Drink
much water but not quantities of
ice water. Above all avoid con-
stipation.
Take a bath every day. A cool
sponge bath every morning on
getting out of bed and a tub bath
at night will do much toward
keeping the body in good condi-
tion and will make for comfort
as we'll.
Sleep regularly eight hours. If
at all practical, sleep out on a
sleeping porch. Arrange to sleep
in as much moving air as posi-
BILE. Nothing enables one to
withstand the heat of summer
with ease as plenty of undisturb-
ed sleep in the open air.
Exercise some every day. Open
air gamesin the cool Of the day
are good for both the mind and
the booy. Don't leave off walking
because the weather is warm.
Walk early in the morning or
late in the afternoon. Walking
is always essential to health.
Recreation is another form of
mental and physical rest and is
necessary to mental and physical
health. Vacations, outings,
camping parties anything that
will give diversion, that will
break the monotony and
grind-will be beneficial and
health making.
Other precautions making for
personal comfort during the
summer are: Don't talk hot
weather, don't think heat; avoid
as much as possible direct expo
sure to the sun; wear light
weight clothing; go slow and do
nothing in excess; don't dissipate,
don't over-eat or indulge in alco-
holics. But think of the joys of
summer and make up your mind
to enjoy them freely.

To the Farmers of this County.

To the Farmers of this County.
Gentlemen: There has been quite
a bit of complaint about the first
crop of Irish potatoes making a
big plant and no tubers. The
State Horticulturist believes that
this is caused by a lack of Potash
in the ground or in the fertilizer
that was used. To avoid having
the same result with the fall crop
a special effort should be made to
add a potash bearing fertilizer to
the soil or to the potatoes after
they come up. The following
fertilizers contain potash that
may be used, Cotton Seed meal
1.7O%, Murate of Potash 51.OO%,
Sulphate of Potash 92.00%, Rot
ton tobacco stalks 5.00&, Un-
leached Wood ashes $3.50. Any
of these will pay well for a crop
like potatoes, if any can be Sc
cured. The Murate and Sulphate
of Potash are hard to get and for
this reason the others will have
to be used in most cases..

County Agent.
