QUESTION WAR TAX
ON CHAUTAU0UA

There seems to be clash of opinion
between state national authorities on
the application of war tax to Rich
mond Chautauqua.
Auditor L. S. Bowman went to Indi-
annapolis today to obtain settlement of
the question. If the tax is ordered
collected it will mean that holders OF
season tickets will be required to pay
at the gate on the opening day Is
cents on adult season tickets and
cents on childrens' season tickets, and
3 cents on adult single admission and
2 cents on children's single admis-
sions.
Special arrangements will be made
at the gates for taking care of this
feature so as to relieve all cOngeS-
ton in case the tax is ordered col.
lected.
Notice will be given the public at
the earliest moment possible.

THE MAKING 0F A FAMOUS
 MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills.
 Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best. The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles,
 1t is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound which we are continually pub. fishing attest to its virtue.

GOVERNMENT WORK
 HERE IN QUESTION
MEETING AT THE BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE TO ASCER- TAIN WHAT VIEWS OF THE
 PEOPLE ARE.

There will be q most important meeting at the Business Mems League Monday night for the pur- nose of taking some definite steps in the matter of the government im- provoment that was outlined here some time ago and which was to be begun with the administratio? building, at the corner of Central and Reserve avenues
 lt is said that the present appro- pliation for that work is jeopardizcd by the opposition of the present plans, and that it will be practically up to the people to say whether they want this work started as outlined or not
 The meeting is of vital importance Some time ago the Rotary Club dis cussed the issue, and when tho members believed the whole of tn several millions of dollars were op. posed,s they adopted a resolution ia. voring the plans, and with but on, single opposing voice, il was report. ed
 The matter will be thoroughly thrashcd out Monday night and it i! highly important that every man wht is interested in the big proposet plans be there to express himself.
