Simple Plan VIII Keep Disease Away,
Ii Is Claimed.
A we'll known Topeka woman
clipped from a Chicago newspaper.
twenty years ago, an item giving
theory as to the cause of pneumonia
and suggesting the means of prevent
ing the disease
AS the course of treatment given
below, has been used in her family
for the last two decades, and never
failed of favorable results, she gives
it to the State Journals readers as be-
ing particularly useful at the present
time.
The clipped item quotes from a lee
ture by DR.. II. Manning Fish. il which
the doctor said: The seat Of trouble
in pneumonia cases is not the lungs,
but the cells in the bony framework
at the top of the nose From these
cells the disease works rapidly down
to the lungs, and to all appearances
these organs Immediately become the
seat of the trouble. However. the
fuel which is feeding the flames of
disease still is being furnished by the
cells at the base of the nose The
simple remedy is to draw the diseased
pus from these cells
To free the head from the secre-
tions, pour one-hah teaspoonful Of
hydrogen peroxide into one-half 6las
of warm water and. filling the palm
of the hand with the solution. snuff
freely into the head until the dis
charges start. in the nostrils and
throat Do this three times a day.
more often if necessary.
Instead of the hydrogen peroxide,
| two or three drops of carbolic acid. or
| one-hah teaspoonful of table salt. or
an antiseptic tablet, may be used in
| the water. If the hydrogen peroxide
| is used, it will be well to rub some ca
| tarrhal jelly into the nostrils and
wards
Give the patient good cathartic.
| If there is fever. pack the head and
| chest in a cold pack. and soak the feet
| in water as hot as can be borne, into
| which has been dissolved a handful of
| table salt and to which a tablespoon
| full of mustard has been added. Also
| administer to the patient several doses
| of sweet spirits of nitre. This treat
ment will break the most severe case
| of fever in about four hours.
The improvement will be such that
the patient will want to get up the
| next day. But keep him in bed for
| several days, and continue to use the
| nose wash freely.

Cleveland, Dec. 4.-Whether Cleve-

o'clock tonight or continue indef-
initefy villa depend upon the answer
which John s. Stanley, president of

the company dismiss the women now

Compile Personal

Income Taxes
Associated Press Service

Associated Press Service:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Regula-
tons governing administration Of
the personal and corporation income
tax were completed today by the
bureau of internal revenue and will
be ready for distribution early next
week. Most Of the provisions are
the same as those covering the old
income tax. The question OF inven-
tories is left open TO be covered by
a special regulation.
Among the more important new
regulations are those relating 10
dividends, depletion in the case OF
oil, gas and mining properties and
payments from depreciation and de.
pletion reserves
The ruling on dividends i'm sub
stance" says an official memorau-
dunn on the regulations. 'is that
dividends paid during 1917 will be
deemed to have been paid from 1917
earnings If such earnings during the
year We're greater than the divi-
dends distributed unless the cor
porations show that at the time IF
distribution Of any particular divi-
dend the earnings were not suffi-
cient to cover.
A new ruling as an alternative
TO the existing one has been provid-
ed FOR computing the amount neces-
sary to return capital invested in
oil and gas wells. the rule being
hQEpd ~
contained in the property and fee
owners and lessees are placed upon
the same basis insofar as bonuses
have actually been paid for leases.
With regard TO mining corpora
tons, II is stated that in passing on
values SCI up as OF March /. 1919.
IS basis for depletion the depart
ment Will give due weight to market
quotations OF capital stock as Of that
date and to values stated by the cor
pOrations in their capital stock re-
turns.
1T is held that dividends paid out
Of depletion or depreciation reserves
are in the nature of a liquidation
dividend and are a return Of capital
10 the stakeholder and not taxable
as income. Such dividends will not
be so regarded, however. until the
income and surplus have been first
distributed and the fact that their
capital has been reduced or partly
returned is made public in their
published statements
Provision has also been made re-
versing g previous ruling and hold

FLEECES DOCTORS OUT
OF $4,000 BY FAKE OIL

Associated Press Service:
MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. Charged
with having "fIeeced" two Muncie
doctors out of more than $4,000 in a
fake oil investment, George Ander-
son, an oil promoter whose home
is said to be near Cincinnati, was ar
rested here this afternoon while in
the act of trying to interest the two
doctors in another proposition. An
dersOn came here i'm 1916 and in
terested DR.. Harry Spickermon and
DR.. +. l.. Hill in his proposition TO
buy and sell an oil lease in the
west valued at $4,000. They were
to help defray Anderson's expenses
while he was selling the lease TO
one Of the larger oil companies
From time TO time he wired the two
doctors for more expense money.
Finally they beanie suspicious and
after an investigation, lodged charg-
es against Anderson. Nothing ever
was heard OF Anderson until two
weeks ago when he wrote DIR. Hill
concerning his second proposition
which was sure TO net the physicians
a fortune. He was induced to come
TO Muncie to explain the deal 10 the
doctors. He was met at the hotel
by the two physicians their attor-
neys and Sheriff Thomas Hiatt. all
of whom posed as prospective back
ers i'm the deal After Anderson had
divulged all the details of his get
rich-quick scheme, Sheriff Hiatt read
a warrant 10 him and took him TO
Jail.
