This ex- ceeds by over $10O,OOO,Oo0 the esti- mates made few months ago, and by over. s5D0, ,O00.o the estimates made year ago when the revenue measures were passed by Congress.
 The success in collecting this large revenue is attributed by the Treasury Department to the patriotism and CO., operation of the American people in promptly and cheerfully meeting the war burdens imposed upon them.

INFLUENZA SERUM
HEAD OF AUGUSTANA COLLEGE
AND NORMAL SCHOOL HERE
TELLS EXPERIENCE.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 7.-Vaccination
with a serum appears to. have effec-
lively checked any spread of influ-
enza at the Augustana college and
Normal school among the lie pupils,
says President H. S. Hilleboe.
When the epidemic was new in
Sioux Falls, three of our students
were taken with the disease" said
President Hilleboe.
Later the entire student body was
inoculated with one of the highly
recommended serums. AS is well
known, it is the practice to make
three successive vaccinations of each
person-each of the operations being
a week apart. So far our students
have had two of these operations.
Nevertheless, there have been but
two cases Of influenza develop since
the first incubation, and one of these
was that of a student who must al
ready have contracted the disease, as
he was affected the following day.
Both cases followed the first ~inocula-
ton. None have followed the second
and their third operation is yet to
come"
Physicians of the city express con
fidence that the use of the different
serums will eventually eliminate the
influenza from Sioux Falls.

A bad man
MURDERS HIS WIFE AND THEN
COMMITS SUICIDE.

Lead, Dec. THE coroner's in
quest over the remains of George
Redding and his wife did not disclose
anything new concerning the tragedy.
Redding shot and killed his wife and
then committed suicide as the cul-
mination of trouble which had exist
ed between them for some time, and
which was due to his abuse of his
wife. She had separated from him,
and a few nights ago Redding broke
into the house. This alarmed the
woman, and on the day of the ira
gedy she had decided to visit Judge
Walsh, Of the municipal court, and
make complaint so her husband
would be put under bond to keep the
peace.
In preparation for her journey to
the municipal court she had taken
her youngest child, a baby, to the
home of a neighbor and was about
to leave the house to join a woman
friend who had agreed to accompany
her, when Redding appeared or the
scene, the tragedy soon resulting.
Five children were left motherless by
the Staying of the woman.
Redding had a bad reputation and
a criminal record extending over sew
eral years. A number of years ago
he was convicted of an attempt to
commit suicide and served IL months
in the Sioux Falls p%eniteDtiary for
that offense, which is a crime under
the South Dakota statutes. He was
suspected of having started a fire
which destroyed a Lead resort, in
which several persons lost their lives.
Later he was convicted of having set
fire to the dwelling house of Jack
Murray in the Spearfish district and
for this served an additional term of
four a in the penitentiary. He
was acquitted on charges of having
set fire to a resort and a FIGURING
mill at Belle Fourche.
Mrs. Redding had often expressed
fears to women friends that she
would some day be murdered by her
husband and lived in constant terror.

because of it's superior tone. The Brunswick at
tains the utmost in reproduction. 1t regains all
the tones hitherto lost, for it embodies a new am
plifier, built entirely of wood.
Metal construction, we ascertained by test, can
not release and expand sound waves with the rare
fluency of wood.
So the throat and the mouth" of the new
Brunswick are of rare holly wood, moulted to meet
acoustic requirements. We use no metal castings
here, no tin.
The result, as you will note instantly, is more
faithful reproduction, with complete avoidance of
the metallic, rasping noises.
We do not ask you to accept these statements
as evidences of our own enthusiasm nor that of
the thousands of satisfied Brunswick owners.
Prove to yourself that The Brunswick is your
personal choice. Acomparison is simple. Your
ear can decide. And we gladly urge you to make
these tests before you buy.

ASK REDUCED HOTEL
MENUS TO SAVE FOOD

With the growth of national de.
mands for food conservation, labor
and thrift generally, all hotels have
been asked to reduce their menus and,
as far as possible, to cut out all of the
foods that are needed for overseas
shipments.
If the alternative dishes now offered
to customers on each menu can be
greatly reduced, it will decrease the
labor required in preparation, the
stocks required in reserve, and the
waste arising from it.
Each manager or owner of the high
grade hotel has a positive influence.
1t is impossible to maintain conser-
walton program in the home if those
who do not care to follow it can get
everything they want at hotels.
The greatest diet difficulties in Ger
many are due to the fact that the poor
man realizes that the big hotels don't
play the game. Any delicacy can be
bought by a rich man, and this has
honeycombed Germany with graft.
But travellers in England are i'm
pressed with the scarcity of food in
hotels there. Her upper classes are
denying themselves the most and tax.
ing the heaviest burdens.

War Won't End Food Crisis.

1t will take eighteen months after
the war to demobilize the armies now
in France. After that, tens of thou
sands of men will be kept busy putting
France, England, and Italy back into
something like normal shape. So for
the next two years, even if speedy vic
tory is ours, there will be vast pop
ulation dependent fo1 food upon US.
So whether the news from the front
be good or bad, this country must not
slacken production and conservation
one whit but ward off state of affairs
which could be worse than war itself
The world must not starve.

FAIR PRICE LISTS TO
MAINTAIN PRICE LEVEL

Through the medium of standard
lied "fair price lists" for the range
Of prices the wholesaler should pay,
the range of prices for the retailer
and the range of prices for the consul
mer, to be published in practically
every county, hamlet, town and city
in the country, the Wisconsin Food
Administration expects to protect the
consumer from unreasonable price
advance, and by bringing prices up to
a uniform level, the Food Administra-
ton will also protect the patriotic
merchant from the INSCRIPTIONS deal
er who has attempted to take advan-
tage of the situation.
In every community, price inter-
preting committees, composed of rep
resentatiVes of the wholesalers, re-
tailers and consumers will ascertain
fair retail prices on the basic COM
modities The published lists will
give the range of maximum selling
prices showing reasonable lowprice,
which will represent charges that
should rule in leash and carry" stores,
and high price, representing fair
charge at "credit and delivery" shops.
Retail price reporters are being ap-
pointed in every county in the United
States who will keep a close check
upon charges made at the stores and
report to the local administrator all
dealers not keeping within the limits
in the ''fair price lists"
