in Washington, and on account of
their rich coloring are attracting a
great deal Of attention from plant
lovers.

Taxes Higher Than in 1917.

Income and excess profits taxes in
1918 were 10 times greater than in
come taxes in 1917. A table of collec-
tons from these sources by states in
the two years shows that West Vir-
ginia jumped from s1,921,0 900 to $45,-
$4,000, an increase of nearly "a
times, proportionately greater than
any other state. Utah stood lowest
in the record Of gains. with a little
less than twice the 1917 amount.
New York, which showed So per
cent Of the total income taxes in 1917,
reported only "a per cent this year
Pennsylvania collected lis times as
much in 1918 as in 1917. Illinois
showed a gain of 10.5 times, Ohio II
times and Massachusetts 80 times.
Southern states, with a few excep-
lions, reported gains exceeding the
average for the whole country.
The revenue bureau has not yet
tabulated income and excess profits
tax collections to show separately the
amounts from corporations, partner
ships and individuals.

DISTRICT SHARE
IN THE COST OF WAR
Report Shows More Paid
Than in Any One Of Fifteen
Designated States.

Washington makes a larger con-
tibution toward paying the cost OF
the war than any one Of fifteen
states whose citizens enjoy the full
privileges Of the elective franchise.
The figures made public by the
Treasury Department show that the
citizens Of the, nations capital pay in
income taxes and excess profit taxes
an annual sum in excess Of the COM
bined contribution Of Wyoming. South
Dakota, North Dakota and Nevada.
The District Of Columbia pays more
in income and excess profit taxes
than South Carolina or New Hamp-
shire and as much as Utah, Vermont
and New Mexico combined, with Alas
ka thrown in. The united collections
from Mississippi and Montana fail to
meet the figures of Washington. while
Arkansas would need to increase her
levy by more than three millions to du-
pIcate voeless Washington's achieve
ment.
Shows the District Total.
The report shows that the total
raised from excess profits and in
comes for the fiscal year ending June
80 in the District Of Columbia was
ss.s22.oOO. The miscellaneous col
lections bring this sum to S12,791 900.
Five states-New York, Pennsylva-
mia, Illinois, Ohio and Massa chusetts-
furnished nearly two-thirds of the
taxes collected by the government
during the fiscal year ending last June
80. OF the $3,694,703,334 collected in
federal taxes these states gave s2.2S2.-
| 100000, or 81 per cent, and of the
| $2,S39,0S3,5s5 gathered from income
and excess profits taxes. the princi-
pal source Of revenue. these states
supplied $1.868, 100000, or IS per cent.
From miscellaneous taxes 1856, 619,74S
was collected in the whole country.
which s6ss,2s5, 900 was income and
excess profits taxes, of % per cent Of
the entire nations collections. This
was largely due to the fact that many
corporations with plants scattered
through the country reported earn
ings from their New York headquar-
terS.

STOP SHORT
BERLIN GOAL

1t would be a sorry ending of a jour-
ney to have America stop short of Ber-
lin. 1t is uncomfortable that our sol
diers should stop short of that goal.
Can you, women of the West, pause in
the great task which has been set for
you? Can you halt for an instant In
the face of the country's need?
Will all of those planned purchases
weigh in the scale with the call which
comes ringing across from those plains
where the boys are fighting? It is to
keep your boy on the march toward
the final goal that the Government
asks you to lend it your utmost.
II regret that | have but one life to
give for my country" said Nathan
Hale, as he ascended the enemy's
gallows.
Ours is the task to save lives for
our country, TO save by lending our all
at its request. The Fourth Liberty
Loan gives American mothers and sis
tiers a new opportunity Il make impos-
sible a regret that they had but one
chance to give.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is ours.
What is our utmost? The country
awaits our answer.

WOMEN GIVE E
SONS N MONEY

American women, everywhere, and
Western women second to one, have
borne their part in the fight. They
they have given their husbands and
sons. Their money is going now. In
the first, second and third Liberty
loans they have invested their dollars.
Opportunity to serve has come again.
The Government is seeking funds. 1t
is asking for the third of its threshold
need-men, munitions and money.
The hand that rocked the cradle is
holding the purse strings in these mo-
mentous days. For their boys Western
mothers will not withhold the needed
gold. America has started on the road
to Berlin. The way is a long one,
and travelling is difficult. But the jour-
ney must be made, and the pilgrims
must be equipped.
1t is no longer a question of shall
we buy bonds with American mothers.
That was answered when the boys
went over there. 1t is no longer a
question of can we buy bonds" The
experience of the first three loans has
answered that.
The question for Western women, in
company with women all over the land,
to answer is what is the limit to
which I can, by sacrifice and saving,
by going without and working for
what is the limit which | can reach?"

(Note: This is the eighteenth chapter of a series of articles which Mir. Corbett is writing on John L. as I Knew Him" It relates many heretofore unpublished incidents in the life of the great warrior. The next installment will appear tomor- row.)
 A short while after the articles for his match with Jake Kilrain had been signed, John l.. surprised the sporting world by doing what he vowed he never would do:
 He hired trainer.
 The big champion at last had come to the realization that the days were gone
 when he could jump into the ring totally unprepared and pound his way to vlc- tory. He had awakened to the fact that late hours, dissipation and heavy drink ing had softened his muscles, wrecked his wind and taken from him much or the steam and the power of his youth. He knew that in facing Kilrain he wzs
 taking on the Ifightiest man among bare
 knuekle warriors and he appreciated that he had to be in superb condition to win. The illness through which John l.. had passed late in the summer Of lSSS had taken off considerable weight and had weakened him considerably. John l.. knew that he was far from the superb condition of the other days; that drastic means weer necessary to whip himself l into fighting trim.

A RAY OF HOPE FOR THOSE WITH RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism are caused by q disordered condition of the blood. Millions upon millions of tiny little disease germs null tiply rapidly and sprea a q throughout the circulation, set ting up their attacks of pain at some susceptible part of the body. Of course, the blood cannot be reached by local ap- plications, which explains why Rheumatism is never cured by liniments and lotions.
 But those whose blood is in fested with the germs of Rheu- matism should be delighted to know that in the midst of all their suffering, there is a bright ray of hope. s. s. S., the reliable purely vegetable blood remedy, promptly purifies the blood and cleanses it of all inn purities and disease germs, and in this way makes it impossible for the germs of Rheumatism to remain. A full course of this remedy will prove to you it's great efficacy, as it has in nu- merous cases which have been reported to us by grateful pa- tients.
 Do not continue to suffer be- cause of wrong treatment, but go to your drug store and com- mence taking s. s. s. today. Also write fully to our head physician, who will give you full instructions about your own case. Address Medical Director, 401 Swift Laboratory, | Atlanta, Ga.

Here Is a Message That May Mean An End to All of
 Your Suffering

If you are just feeling the first little twinging pains of Rheumatism, we would warn you to take the right course at the outset, and avoid permit ting yourself to fall a helpless victim to one of the most dis abling and painful diseases to which the human family is sub- ject.
 And if you have had Rheu- matism for any length of time, the chances are that you have kept the liniment bottle pretty busy, but you have realized by now that gallons of liniments and other locally applied rem edies will never rid you of this body-wrecking, pain-racking disease. The best that you can expect from such treatment is some little temporary relief from the sharp, shooting pains.
 But you want more than mere relief. You want to break the shackles of a disease that has you so firmly within it's power. You want a treat ment that not only relieves the pains, but that stops them for ever, by reaching their source and removing their cause. Experience has proven that great majority of cases of
