Newaygo, Mieh.-"My little boy
was in a delicate, weak, emscisted
condition and had a cough so we
had to keep him out of school for
year. Nothing seemed to help him
until Vinol was recommended, and
the change it made in him was re-
markable. 1t has built him up and
made him strong so his cough is
almost entirely gone. We can not
recommend Vinol too highly

SUPREME COURT
 MADE DECISION
 ON INCOME TAX

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20.-- In decision rendered by the su' preme court today it is held that in computing the income of ore and timber corporations. the value of the ore and timber at the time the excise tax of 1909 became effective may be deducted from the proceeds of the sale.
 The balance of these proceeds. af ter making this deduction, would be considered as the income of the cor poration. This case has been close ly followed by the leading corpora lions of the country whose holdings were composed for the most part of mineral ore and timber lands. The decision will greatly affect the amount of income these corporations were credited with having. The case was brought over the conten tion that the entire proceeds from such sales would constitute the in come of the companies.

FISHERY BOATS
 SHOWED ASHORE
 BY MOVING ICE

PORTLAND, Ore, May 20.-A wireless message received by a sal mon company here states that the packets w. B. Flint. Star, Chile and Centennial have been crowded ashore at Bristol Bay by the moving ice. These boats were on their way to the canneries situated in Boring sea, but were caught in the spring run of ice.
 No serious damage is reported as being the result of the crushing ice. It is Stated that all minor repairs that are necessary can be done while the boats are waiting for the ice to clear. It is believed that these vessels can be floated as soon as the ice has sufficiently cleared away to make it possible for them to run in the open sea. No lives are reported as lost on any of the packets. The company officials here believe that it will be but very short time until the boats will be able to proceed.

R0MANOFFS ARE
 TO RESIDE IN A
 NEUTRAL LAND

GENEVA, May 20.-Former Czar Nicholas of Russia and his family will soon be residents of Switzer- land. This permission was granted to them by the Soviet government of Russia under certain conditions. It has been known for some time that it was the intention of the present government to remove the czar from Russian territory. It was also the Romanoffs' desire that they reside in a country other than their native land.
 The Soviets offered to the ex-czar and his family the choice of either Switzerland or RumanIa as future home. The former country was chos- en by them. The principal condi- tion under which they will be al. lowed to go to Switzerland is that no endeavor shall be made by the czar to regain his former throne. The czar agreed to this stipulation. 1t Is expected that the removal of the royal family will take place within short time.

GERMANS RAID
 LONDON DURING A CELEBRATION

LONDON, May 20.-In the most ambitious attack ever made on this city by the Hun aviators. thirty seven people were killed and one hundred and fifty wounded last night The attack was made during cleal moonlight night, the German ma chimes flying at a height of over 12.OOO feet.
 Hundreds of bombs were dropped by the raiders in the midst of large crowds who were congregated here in celebration of the Whitsuntide holiday. Thousands of people from various parts of England had jour neyed to the capital to celebrate this holiday. It is thought that the Germans had previous knowledge that many out of town visitors were to be here on this date. The ma jority of the visiting people had never experienced an aerial attack before and were ignorant as to what course to pursue to insure theil safety. A good many of the casual ties were caused by the stampedine of the large crowds.
 AS soon as the aerial raiders were sighted, the alarms were sounded throughout the city. Mounted police rode along the different streets in structing the people to take to shel ter The anti-aircraft guns. with which the city is we'll supplied. kept up an incessant firing at the enemy The planes were, however, too high in the air for these guns to do any damage. It Is thought entirely prob able that if it had not been for the anti-aircraft guns the machines would have flown much lower and the raid would therefore have resulted in a larger number of deaths. Owing to the extreme height the aviators were forced to maintain, their bombs could not be dropped just where they were intended

RED CROSS IS
 MAKINCDRIVE
 FOR MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 20.- The official mercy organization of the American Red Cross society has launched its second drive. The amount that is wanted for the aid of sufferers is placed at $100.OOO, 900. This drive is to be carried on over the entire United States.
 This appeal for subscriptions has been endorsed by many prominent people. among them being President Wilson, the members of the cabi- net, Admiral Sims, General John J. Pershing and Cardinal Gibbons. These all urge that the American people respond to the call of the or ganization.
 In speaking of the drive, President Wilson describes the contributions as a discovery of new opportunity of helpfulness under conditions which translate an opportunity into vic tory. The drive was opened by the President in an address in New York City The officials at the head of the Red Cross are confident that the contributions will exceed the amount that has been asked for. This money will be used by the or. ganization as war fund.

PROVISIONS ARE
 BURNED TO KEEP FROM HUN HANDS

LONDON, May 20.-Semi- official re- ports were received here today that assemblies being held throughout Uk. rainia have decided to burn all pro- visions in preference to their falling into German hands. The population is very much aroused over the meth cd in which Germany is taking to procure all provisions in the coun- try. No consideration is being made by the German government in re- gard to leaving sufficient food in the land to sustain the population.
 All grain and other foodstuffs are being gathered in the Ukraine dis. trict by the German army and being exported by them for home consump. tion. The commanders have ordered that nothing be left that is of any value to the German government in a food way. An assembly was called by the people in various dis tricts to devise some plan whereby this exportation of provisions could be stopped. No opposition that the inhabitants are able to put up is sufficient to halt the Hun in his ravages.
 Twenty thousand peasants of the surrounding country attempted to hold an assembly at Kiev, but were dispersed by the Germans stationed there. Many of these peasants were injured by the German troops, who delighted in man-handling them. Thou sands of the inhabitants are attempt mig to flee the country in order to evade starvation. These the Ger mans are wishing to stop. as it is desired by the German government to use their labor in the great wheat fields throughout Ukrainia.
 It Is thought entirely probable that if the Ukraine peasants are able to arm themselves they will make a determined stand against the Germans in their inroads on the food supply. There are no districts in Ukrainia that are reported as hay ing plenty of foodstuffs.
