An increase in the valuation OF

While a decrease in polls Of 512 for

shown, Mr., Gresham explained that
in reality the number of polls has in
creased about 700 because more than
1000. Mecklenburg county men OF tax
able age are in the service. The num-
Der Of polls last year was 9,677 as

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
i. MEDICINE
How Lydia e. Pinlxhan's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Wonan's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where fh3a
successful remedy is made imnresaas
even the casual lool-er-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this creaf
medicine for woman s. ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to ba
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 cleanlinesa
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 tae 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.

letter to Senator Simmons protesting
against any proposed increase in the
tax OF tobacco products, declaring that
IT will prove heavy burden upon the
manufacturers and also upon the con-
sumers. They argue to Mr.. Simmons,
CHAIRMAN or the senate finance com
m1ttee,l that an increase in tax must
necessarily be followed by an Increase
IN the price to the consumer and that
such an advance will necessarily mean
decrease in consumption. 1t will
then follow that the government will
receive 10 more revenue from an in
crease. Decrease in consumption au-
tomatically decreasing the tax collect

TOO QUICK EXPANSION WILL
PROVE HAZARDOUS TO BANKS

Washington.-In cautioning banks
against seeking great business expan-
sion and profit making following the
war, the federal service board, said
these activities must for some time
to come be subordinated to the gen.
eral welfare. Some banks, the state
ment said, recently had drawn too
heavily on the reserve banks for redis-
counts to cover promotion or business
expansion which really were not es-
sential to the community welfare =,
Conservation of bank loans, their
restriction to necessary enterprises,
and the liquidity of banking resources
must continue, the board declared.

OF peace for national and international
work on the sea-
through nearly all of LA printed

phrasessof the navy's part in the war,
OF the doing of the seemingly impos-
Side through teamwork. He speaks
OF the mighty accomplishment of
transporting 2,OOO,OO0 men to France.

deVotes "a graphic chapter to the ma
rlne brigade, which as all the world
knows blocked the last Prussian ad-
vance on Paris, and started the Ger
man retreat that ended with the war.
Inasmuch as the United States is
tne. rlchest OF the great nations and
mas suffered less in war than any of
the allied powers, it will devolve upon
this country to make a contribution
to the navy to preserve the peace of
the world commensurate with it's
wealth, it's commerce, it's growing and
expanding merchant marine, and it's
leadership in the council of free peo-
pie. It is therefore, our duty now
not, indeed, to enter upon any new
and ambitious naval program, but to
go forward steadily upon the lines of
naval increase to which the country
committed itself by the adoption three
years ago Of the first far-reaching
constructive naval program in the his
tory of the republic.
l have recommended to this Con-
gress the adoption Of another three
year program substantially like the
one authorized in 1915.
Mr.. Daniels shows that the new
