OUR PEOPLE FACE
 BIC SACRIFICES
Coming Sorrows Are Great Presi- dent Says-America Will Wage. the War for Civilization
 BraveIy, He Declared.

Washington, May i3.-president Wilson, speaking yesterday at tho dedication of a Red Cross Memorial building to the women of the Civil War, declared America, united, had gone into the present war solely be- cause it believes in the principles on which the American government was founded.
 The hearts of the people of this country are in this war" he said. They think that here is an oppor- tunity to express the character of the United States.
 For Service of Mankind.
 We have no grievance of our own. We went into this war be- cause we are the servants of man. kind. We will not accept any ad- Vantages out of this war We go into it because we believe in the principles upon which the American government was founded"
 The building was dedicated both to the women of the North and the South, fact on which the Presi- dent dwelt in emphasizing that the country is united in the present war.
 T pray God he said, that the outcome of this struggle may be that every element of difference in this Nation may be eliminated and that it will make single people out of all those who call themselves Amer jeans. 1 believe that this is already beginning to happen and that the spirit of this people is already unit ed. I hope that this will be the be- ginning of a process which will soon require the erection of another beautiful memorial to a united America"

Don't Realize Cost Yet.

The President added he did not believe the people yet realized the sacrifice and sufferings that they face.
 We thought the scale of our Civil War was unprecedented" he said. but it now seems insignificant in the expenditure of treasure and of blood in this great war"
 In making contributions for hu- manitarian projects, the President said he hoped the people would cen ter their efforts on the experience in the Red Cross organization.

BIC WAR TAX WILL ]. TOUCH EVERYBODY
American Public Facing Most Ex- lensive Line of Taxation in Hist ory of Country-Income Tax
 Has Been Doubled.

Washington, May 9.-The new war tax bill was ready for Congress to- day proposing probably the most extensive and greatest line of tax ation ever faced by the American people.
 Doubling of normal income tax rates with reduction of exemptions and increases of sur-taxes on great incomes; absolute elimination of all articles on the tariff free list with the imposition of a minimum duty of ten per cent and a horizontal in- crease of ten per cent on all now taxable articles, together with in creases of taxes on internal revenue and new taxes which reach to the remote departments of business and household life are proposed to make up a yearly income of Si,S00,000,- GOO.
 Would Cripple Newspapers.
 Increase on postage rates include newspapers, which it is proposed to charge on the parcel post system. Publishers who are hurrying to Washington and some of those who conferred today with Ways and Means committee members said that such a line of taxation as proposed upon them practically will force many out of business. Mailing charges for papers of average circu- lation, it was said, would be in creased many thousands of dollars yearly.
 One draft of the bill proposed to impose a tax of five per cent on re- ceipts from advertising, but, as finally prepared for the house, this tax was made not to apply to news papers and periodicals.
 Getting Into the Home.
 The new taxes include levies on life insurance, on household electric light bills, telephone bills, railroad tickets, admissions to amusements, club dues, automobiles, pleasure boats, jewelry and practically every thing that enters into the life of a family.
 In an effort to spread the taxation over the business life as we'll as the social life of the nation, new taxes are proposed on corporations, on excess profits and other elements of commerce.
 Coffee and Tea Taxed.
 In executive session today the Ways and Means committee added a provision to put tax of one cent a pound on coffee and two cents a pound on tea in the hands of the roasters and importers.
 The section is drawn so as not to tax the stocks in the hands of the retailers and is expected to produce about $5,000,000 revenue. The for maj report of the bill to the house was authorized today by the com mittee.
 The market was feverish and un- settled. United States Steel broke over two points to ii29s, Bethelem steel sold old stock 10 points to i2c, other industrials, including the prin- cipal munitions and equipments, two to six points.
 War stocks fared no worse than standard issues, some of the divi- dend paying rails falling to lowest price of recent years. Net losses from last nights close included 4A points for St Paul; Union Pacific, |3h; Reading 31a; Baltimore X Ohio 2h; Canadian Pacific 2%; Southern Pacific 213 New York Central 29s. New Haven duplicated it's previous low record of 36A. Utilities, trac- tions, telephone issues, oils, motors and shipping joined in the recession, with losses of ? to 3 points.

Lemons Beautify!
Strain lemon juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an in
expensive. lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric condi-
tions. Windchafe, roughness, tan and
redness are warded off and those tell
tale lines of care or of age are softened
away.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautifier at about the cost
one must pay for a small jar of the
ordinary cold creams. Care should
be taken to strain the lemon juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh
for months. Every woman knows
that lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles, SAL
lowness and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
INTO the face, neck, arms and hands,
and see for yourself.

If Food Disagrees
Drink Hot Water

When food lies like lead in your stom-
ach and you have that uncomforta bl
bloated feeling and your stomach is
sour and burning il is usually because
of excessive secretion of acid or food
fermentation from chronic catarrh.
In such case good and safe treat
ment for catarrh of the stomach is TO
take before meals a teaspoonful of
pure bisurated magnesfa in half a glass
OF water, as hot as you can comfortably
drink It,. The hot water washes the
mucous from the stomach walls and
the bisurated magnesia is a solvent for
mucous, thus increasing the efficiency
Of the hot water treatment. Moreover
the bisurated magnesia, as physicians
can tell you, is a powerful but harm
less antactd which when taken after
meals quickly neutralizes the excess
acld ana sweetens your stomach con-
tents
This hot water and magnesia treat
ment is a far better plan than that of
swallowing some pill or tablet which
simply artiticially digests your food
and sends 1t still sour, fermenting
acid mass into the intestines where it
Will do almost as much harm as in the
stomach.
AS there are various forms of mag
nesia be sure in following above direc-
tions 70 ask the druggist for Bisurated
Magnesia teither in powder or tablet
! form) which is especially prepared for
/ the correction of stomach acidity. You
can get it at George A. Gorgas' or any
good drug store.-Advertisemen

new half dollar from a customer

to be a foreigner.
The counterfeit is a reproduction

and lacks the jingle. Captain of Po-
lice Paul L. Barclay, of the Pennsyl-
