washington, Dec. 1S-How gently
congress and the federal executive Of
ficers have dealt with American prof.
iteers is strikingly shown by q oompu-
tation OF the profits Of representative
corporations after the payment Of war
taxes, just made by Eastman. Dillon
& Co., conservative banking firm.
These calculations. which cover 45
diversified American corporations.
show after the payment Of all war
taxes, the average net profits will equal
21.5 per cent. Before war taxes are
deducted the average earnings are 32.7
per cent
These figures 30 long way toward
explaining the high cost of living in
the United States. as they do not In
clude any companies which manufac-
ture munitions exclusively, but relate
principally to products purchased by
private consumers.
The 21.5 per cent net profit after war
taxes is calculated on the basis of the
quoted value Of the corporate securi-
ties in December. 1915, when the stock
market was at the height OF its war
boom. No attempt Is made to arrive
at the profit ON the actual capital In
vested More than half OF this stock
market value, however. is in COMMON
stock, practically all water" and does
not represent any original capital In
vestment.
It is clear. therefore. that the profits
Of these representative corporations for
this first year OF the war Will equal
at least 40 per cent Of the actual cap
ital invested by stockholders.

New York. Dec. 1a.-What is said
to be the first suit ever brought by
a Christian Science practitioner for the
recovery Of money alleged to be due
for services was filed here against
Clarence c. Burger, a banker and pro-
moter by Miss Grace NJ. Trankla.
Miss Trankla asks $12.15O for "serv-
ices and instruction" alleged to have
been given between April and Oct. l.,
this year.
In her complaint, Miss Trankla al
legged that Burger sought her assis-
lance and instruction in Christian Sci
ence ito lead him to deeper under
standing of its principles so that he
might not only be healed, but in order
that his greater business success in life
might be promoted by like aid"
They entered into an agreement, Miss
Trankla says, under which she was to
receive $3.50 month and $4,000 at the
end Of her period Of service.
Burger was engaged in a large min
ing deal, the complaint continues, and
promised her If she devoted extra
time and attention to him, exerting in
his behalf the power Of Christian
Science" he would pay her $4,000 ex-

treatment, at the Christian Science

Altho she believes the mining deal was
a success, the plaintiff says she was dis
charged on Oct. without having re-
ceived her last months pay, or the 81
900 or the $4,000.

TRAIN BUTCHER
PEDDLED BOOZE
New Stunt in BootIsssing Pulled Oh
\ by News Agent on Rock Island Road
: Running Between Des Moines and
Rock Island, III.

Special to Times Republican
Newton. Dec. ia news agent, who
has been running on the Rock Island
line between Des Moines and Rock Is
land H., is in Jail here on a charge
of bootlegging and his stunt was one
entirely new. He made the trip to
Rock Island and came back the next
day and had a regular clientele along
his route, to whom he would deliver
the wet goods on the return journey.
One of his customers here was sum-
moned before the grand jury and gave
evidence which resulted in the placing
of secret agents on the train to watch
the suspected man. Yesterday he was
seen to deliver a package to a Gus
toner in Grinnell. and when Jasper
county was reached he was placed un-
der arrest In his grip were found four
quarts and one pint of whisky. He was
arraigned before Justice Carey and
pleaded guilty to an attorneys war
rant, and when arraigned In district
court was sentenced to serve three
months in Jail. The fact that the man
has q wife and three children in Des
Moines caused the Judge to impose
light sentence. The agent said he had
been importuned so much by friends
along the line to bring them booze that
he saw an opportunity to go into the
business for profit. He admitted buy
ing the stuff at 30 cents and IS cents
per pint in Rock Island and selling 1t
in Iowa for, $50.

trict Fuel Administrator John l..
Weaver In q plea to the citizens Of
the district he said:
"Save your fuel and help avert q
local and national coal famine"
There are two ways Washington can
help conserve the coal supply. Mr..
Weaver said. One is by keeping rooms
at lower temperature, IS degrees
being prescribed by physicians. and the
other by burning waste matter.
Mr.. Weaver declared government de-
partments are burning more coal than
is absolutely necessary to keep work
ers comfortable and that rooms are
kept at an unhealthy temperature.
District Fuel Distributor Jesse L.
Suter completed a seurvey OF coal in
local yards and said he was confident
the situation in Washington is well in
hand. 2-
Announcement was made that the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company had sent 400 tons Of
coal and that Pennsylvania and West
Virginia mines are consigning between
sixty and eighty carloads Of coal a

Fin Mon.rchy Movement

In the latter half Of the seventeenth
century, during the time of Oliver
Cromwell, there sprang up in England
q Puritan sect which undertook to in
terpret the prophet Daniels version Of
the four beasts, as related In the sew.
epth chapter Of Daniel. They made
sad work of it and mixed religion, pol
itcs and fanaticism in a way that was
very confusing. They believed that
the four monarchies indicated by the
prophet had passed away and that, the
time had come for the beginning Of
Christ's millennial reign on earth, that
Is. for the beginning Of new mon
archy with Christ as its head. Hence
they were called and willingly accept
ID the designation Of Fifth Monarchy
men. At one time they conspired to
murder Cromwell, but he got the first
move and arrested their leaders and
put them under guard. Later, in the
reign Of Charles II. few Of them, led
by cooper named Thomas Venner,
undertook to establish the Kingdom Of
Heaven by force, but they were at
tackled by the kings troops and routed
and on January 10 to q Venner and
ten others were executed for high
treason.
