PUBLISHERS WILLING TO
PAY ANY JUST TAX
But They Protest Vigorously Against
Any Special Discriminating Tax
Against NEWSPAPERS

Washington, June 22.-Representa-
tive members of the American Pub
fishers association met here yester-
day and unanimously adopted a state
ment declaring their willingness to
pay any rate of taxes congress finds
necessary to impose upon legitimate
and necessary business by protesting
emphatically against the levy of any
special discriminating war tax against
newspapers.
While the publishers were in session
the senate finance committee wrote
into its revision Of the house tax
bill, a section increasing second class
mail rates to one and one-fourth
cents a pound and levying a tax of
five per cent upon publishers net
profits over. $4,000 a year. Half an
hour later a committee from the
newspapermen presented their pro-
test to Chairman Simmons and went
away confident of reconsideration.
The publishers meeting was unus-
ually largely attended and upon the
necessity for prompt and vigorous
protest against the special tax pro-
posals there was 9nhesitating agree
ment.

Compromises That Will Elk,

Agreed Upon
IMPORTANT CHANGES
MADE IN MEASURE
Debate in Senate Will Con
tinue Until Middle of
Next Week
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, June 22.-Prospect for
passage OF the administration of the
food control bill by July 1 as earnest
ly desired by President Wilson APP
peared brighter last night after the
house had rejected important amend
ments which promised to delay final
action and senate leaders had tenta-
lively agreed to compromises designed
to greatly expedite consideration.
Rejection in the house on a point OF
order of proposals TO include shoes,
clothing, farm machinery and cotton
under the regulatory food provisions
cleared the way to passage to such an
extent that a final vote is expected
Saturday. Prohibition proposals and
Representative Lenroot's amendment
to strike out the licensing feature Of
the bill constitute the only apparent
obstacles to a final vote at that time.
To pass the measure with as few
additions to the original draft as pos
sible in order to expedite conference
consideration, is the plan of Represen-
tative Lever in charge of the bill. He
told the house yesterday that minor
changes could be made at leisure.
House Republicans are rallying gen.
orally to support of the bill.
While perfunctory debate was pro-
ceeding in the senate, substantial
progress toward compromising differ
ences was made by leaders at infor-
NAL conferences.
Changes Agreed On.
The changes tentatively agreed to
include:
Elimination of the section author
izing the food administrator to req
uisition factories, mines and other
plants when he finds it necessary.
Elimination of provisions authoriz-
ing fixing of wages, including those Of
farm laborers.
Elimination of specific authorization
to regulate consumption by rationing
or control of individual meals.

of People OF Little Kingdom
to America.
(By Associated PressN

New York, June 22.-Belgium's re-
sisting power is slowly being crushed
by German oppression, according to a
letter which, received from Cardinal
Mercier, archbishop Of Mallnes, was
made public by the Rev. DIR. William
T. Manning, rector of Trinity parish.
The cardinals letter was an
acknowledgment of resolutions adopt
ed by the Churchman's association here
last January expressing sympathy and
support for the Belgian cause. The
cardinals letter reads:
THE appreciation you show our eff
forts to stem the tide of unrighteous-
ness, which more and more tends to
overcome the stubborn and just resist
ance of our people to all the wrongs
wantonly inflicted upon them, bears US
up in our struggle. Constant gratitude
flows from our hearts in recognition
both of the moral support which you
all in America hold out to us in our
trial and the no. less lavish material
aid so generally extended to us by the
commission for relief in Belgium"

SIXTH EPISODE.

The sudden and perilous illness rof
floria Stafford threw her official lover,
''reneau, also into a sudden and peri
GUS situation. He and his partner,
Iulry, had counted on using Freneau's
Engagement to the daughter of the
great Pierpont Stafford as kind of
collateral at the bank.
When the girl was stricken down
with pneumonia, Freneau's heart was
wrung as we'll as his purse. He was
genuinely in love with Gloria. It was
not hard to love so beautiful, so rich.
and SO infatuating girl. But he had
not counted on death as a possible
rival.
And there was another, a more GER
tain rival-Dr. Stephen Royce-whom
Gloria's brother, David, had called in
to take charge of the case. Royce had
loved Gloria before Freneau ever saw
her. 1t was Royce who had actually
saved her from the Seminole Indians.
Royce despised Freneau and had told
him SO. Royce would not even permit
Freneau to enter the sick room. where
he was master.

hands Of the Seminole Indians. She is
rescued and returned to her father who
had offered a reward for her return
Gloria falls in love with her rescuer Ere

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
we'll, sleep we'll, look WELL What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour denominations, gases.
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sa11ow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject Of
Internal sanitation.
