In every healthy body there
are ifty-grains Of iron, about as
much as is contained in an ordi-

Of lack OF iron in the blood many
persons are anemic, pale, thin,
emaciated, their blood corpuscles
are uneven, instead of being round
and full Of good red blood, and
the nerves are lacking in strength.
Feed the nerves on good, rich, red

How can we acquire good red

many years Dr. Pierce and his
staff of physicians at the Surgical
Institute, in Buffalo, n. Y, experi-

HOW WAR REVENUE TAX
IS APPLIED TO DANGERS

The original understanding of the
war revenue law as promulgated by
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
on the dance question was to the eff
feet that in case of a dance hall where
no admission was charged at the door
and only parties who desired to dance
were charged for the privilege of
dancing, that no tax liability would be
incurred. However, upon more COM
plete consideration of the language of
the law by the legal board at Wash
ington which has charge of the pro-
mitigation Of rules for the enforce
ment of its provisions, it was deter
mined that the language of the law
was sufficiently broad to embrace
within its provisions a wider interpre-
tatlon than that originally announced
and under the conditions of regula-
tons recently issued it has been held
that the provisions Of the law as re-
lating to dances is as follows:
"Where a dance hall charges no ad.
mission or admissions, if a charge of
not more than five cents is made for
admission to the dance hall for each
dance, no tax is payable, but If
charge OF ten cents for each dance, or
ii a purchase at one time of more
than one five cent ticket is required,
then the tax is payable"
In communication received from
the Commissioner of internal Revenue
in reply to an inquiry submitted by
this office, the department holds that
if no admission is charged to the hail
but parties desiring to dance are
charged ten cents or more for the pri-
vilege of dancing one or more times
during the evening, that tax liability
is incurred on account of such charge.
which is held to be charge for ad.
mission to the dance floor.
AS there has been quite a wide
spread misunderstanding regarding
this provision of the law, and as it Is
one which affects people in every
community, l feel that newspapers
will be pleased to give the greatest
publicity to this Interpretation of the
law in order to protect their readers
and neighbors from the possibility of
mourning penalty on account of not
paying this tax.
Attention is particularly called to
the fact that this tax is not a tax
levied upon the promoters of the
dances or other entertainments, but is
tax levied upon the parties paying
for such privileges and the promoters
of such entertainments are made, un-
der the law, collecting agents to col
lect such tax for the government and
to report it to this office The failure
of any person to collect this tax which
is imposed by law and to make return
hereof to this office with remittance
covering the tax collected prior to the
| last day of the month succeeding the
month in which the entertainment is
given involves such person in a 200
per cent penalty of the amount of the
| tax.

explained that incorporated banks and

banks on May 8. Four days later the
federal reserve banks will report to

tails will be made public as soon as

ing subscribed about 240 per cent of
its quota.

The drive for the Third Liberty
Loan in the three towns of Milford,
Watertown and Ixonia was under the
supervision of H. Wertheimer, chair
man, and when the territory to be
covered is considered the task was no
light one. He appointed assistants in
the various school districts and ar
ranged for speakers to boost the loan.
All this required time and indefatig-
able effort, which was not lacking on
mis- part. Thirty-six school districts
were combed, or twelve in each town

by the chairman is evidenced when
