Revenue Office Letters MiSta-

The internal revenue Office for
West Virginia has furnished blanks
to all corporations in the state on
which to make income tax and ex-
cess PROFITS tax return for 1917.
These forms are usually mailed
out in yellow. rather cheap envelopes
such as advertising matter is usually
mailed in. From the number of calls
for blanks from corporations since
it would appear that some Of them
have treated these forms when re-
ceiyed by them in the cheap envel-
ope as advertising matter, and have
thrown them away.
Corporations and individuals receiy
ing mail matter from the treasury
apartments should be careful what
they do with it.
Those corporations which have not
made returns for 1917, and which
have not on hand the blanks which
have been furnished them, should
call on the collector OF internal reye.

is too easily proven TO admit of any
doubt. They speak out in the hope
that their experience may be a guide
to others.

gineer, SIS ~ Queen ST., Martins

slant pains through the small of my

and / felt very tired when / got up

LOCAL MINSTREL. TO
SHOW IN WINCHESTER

The Paint and Powder Club, com
posed of number Of young ladies

pear at the Empire Theatre in Win

every reason to believe that the peo-
pie of Winchester will enjoy this
minstrel as the participants are I'M
usually good in their several parts.
Their recent appearance in Martins
burg established that fact. 1t will be
remembered that there was as much

THE RED CROSS.

The most interesting story Ill
Yesterdays Muscular was that
Of the history and accomplish
nents Of the Red Cross. Truly, it
is enough to send thrill of pride
and patriotism through every
American citizen. Whatever may
have been defects and delays and
inefficiency elsewhere in this
war, it may be said honestly that
the workers for the Red Cross,
from the highest to the lowest,
have arisen magnificently to the
call of duty and have done their
part well and nobly.
We may refer with special
pride to the Rcd Cross workers OF
the Missoula chapter and the
branches in the outlying towns
and hamlets where the women
have made unusual sacrifice OF
time and labor. We wish that
more citizens would visit the
rooms in this city where they
could see and understand the
hard, trying manual labor that
has been extended to this work.
1t might shame some OF our
women who think they have done
their full duty when they have
contributed to the society's fl
nances.
When Missoula's roll Of service
in this war is finally complete, no
part will shine higher than that
OF our Red Cross chapter. We
are heavily indebted to our pa
triotic home workers for that and
among these we may mention
Mr.. Kenneth Ross as one entitled
TO much credit. Mr.. Ross has
given his fine executive talent,
his time and his energy to this
work. He has been sleepless on
the Job and the results in mem
bership, in funds, in effective Or
ganization and productivity OF
war necessities are due largely to
his devotion TO this cause. Mr..
Ross is a real war asset to the
community.

Development of Artificial Light

DR.. Walter Clark of Philadelphia has
recently made some interesting inves-
legations to find out how the old time
lighting conditions in his city compare
with those of today. Popular Science,
reporting the results of his studies,
says: He has discovered that until as
late as 1866 only Pickering sperm oil
and candles were in use. Not until the
following decade did the highly i'm
proved and universally used" kerosene
lamp appear.
Gas did not come out until the period
between 1866 and 1875. And then only
the wealthy could use it. 1t sold at
$3.50 per thousand cubic feet. The
efficient prepared mantle came out 10
years later, notwithstanding artificial
illumination. The present era began
in 1896, when gas and electricity came
into general use, gas selling at 81 per
thousand cubic feet and electricity at
10 cents per kilowatt hour. Since this
time the gas mantle and the electric
fiiament have seen vast improvements,
so that today the average family - OBJ

HELP THE ARMY.

We would like to see a hearty
response to a drive that is to be
made for the war fund Of the Sal
walton Army. The allotment for
Montana is only $4,000, and it
seems to us that when the work
Of the Salvation Army abroad is
well understood, there ought to
be no difficulty in completing this
fund.
In efficiency, in intelligence Of
methods, in practical organiza-
ton, the Salvation Army stands
superb. From its very begin
ming, under the leadership of
General William Booth, the army
has been conducted along the
soundcst business lines. There is
no waste in its work. Everything
is conserved to the best pur-
poses. There are no loose ends
or haphazard methods. General
Booth, the founder of one Of the
greatest movements for mankind,
was a rare combination Of the
evangelist and the business man,
and his methods have prevailed
since his death.
1t can be taken for granted thai
the work of the Salvation Army
at the war front is Of the mos
practical and useful kind. 1t has
100 huts for social and religious
gatherings, scores of hotels nea,
railway stations and landing
points, more than 300 rest rooms
for the use of the soldiers, and {
large force of men directing thu
work abroad. We say withou
hesitancy that every dollar that i:
contributed to this organization
will be expended in the mos
practical and useful way, and WI
hope that it will not be ncccssar.
to further urge our people to con
tribute to this cause.

Soccer Football

Strange things are happening in this

walls of the Coliseum,

Braden. formerly of Pasadena, Cal.

Il find the Italian people kind and
enthusiastic" he writes, and feel sure
that the Y. NJ. G. A. can render a largo
service. The recreational work divides
| Itself into four ciasses-first. work for
Americans who may be in Italy; sec.
| ond. work for Italian soldiers at tho
front: third. work in soldier rest
camps: and fourth. work for soldiers

Generally speaking games and pas

SNUBBING THE KAISER.

Our German friends in Mlwau-
kee reached another mile post Of
loyalty when they changed the
name Of the Dcutscher club to the
Wisconsin club. We can well be-
lieve that was not done without
a wrench, and that is no reficc-
ton on the loyalty of some of the
fine citizens of German descent
who belong to this organization.
The fortunate ones who have en-
joyed the hospitality Of this ia
nous club could not forget it. Its
home is in the very heart of the
city, the residence once owned by
the Mitchell family. Many fine
affairs have been staged there.
Its guests have included citizens,
distinguished in all lines. On one
noteworthy occasion, Colonel
Roosevelt was a guest of honor.
We wonder if there is still pre-
served in glass case, the stein
from which the colonel drank Jo-
hannesberg. We say stein, be-
cause that is the tradition. AT
any rate there was a real good
time" and until the war started
we do not believe that there was
a citizen in all the United States
more popular with the DeutscheI
pardon, Wisconsin--club, than
our rcd-blooded high-spirited anC
altogether fine friend from Oys-
ter Bay. We sincerely hope The
time will come when amenities
will be restored, but of course We
must lick the kaiser first.

WORK IT OUT.

Before the season goes farther,
we must rid our chest of the an
nuai editorial on spring fever,
which, we hear, is Q common NAL
ady these days.
Have you a sleepy, lazy, or slug
gish feeling that sends your
thoughts toward a trout stream?
You awake in the morning and
say to yourself that you don't
give a darn if you never work.
That is spring fever, for which
our grandmothers used to give Us
boiled herbs, to thin our blood.
Spring fever is the result OF
'coaling up" in the winter. We
come out Of the long siege in
doors and into the open with toe
much fat and too flabby muscles
as a result Of consuming much
heat producing food. We are, il
a word, unfit physically, although
that does not mean that W.
should take medicines. One o
the biggest fakes is the spring
tonic.
The real medicine is exercise il
the open air, cutting down food
and especially meats, and working
off the sluggishness, by exercise
until life looks good again. Tha
is the treatment. IL is easy anc
pleasant, and will help us to vii
the war sooner.

slaughter in a Paris church on
Good Friday, when a shell from
the seventy-five mile gun killed
more than sixty innocent women
and children. II would tax credu-
lily TO assume that Gott applaud
ed anything of that sort. This
horror stirred Catholics through
out the world and the indigna-
ton of the American church was
well voiced by Cardinal Farley in
this cablegram to Cardinal
Annette:
Shocked by the brutal killing Of
innocent victims gathered at re-
ligious services to commemorate
the passing Of our blessed Saviour
on Good Friday, the Catholics OF
New York join your noble protest
against this outrage OF the sane
tuary on such day and at such
an hour. and expressing their sym
pathy to the bereaved relatives OF
the dead and injured, pledge their
unfaltering allegiance in support OF
the common cause that unites our
two great republics. May God
bless the brave officers and men
of the allied armies in their splen-
did defence Of liberty and justice.
The act must have been pre-
meditated because this was the
second shell that had hit that par
ticular church in three days. One
effect at least should be a rcluct-
ance on the part of the vatican to
transmit any further proffcrs OF
peace from the German govern
ment.
