Tennis Stars Begin on First Round at
X. c. Today.

Kansas City, July 2s.-with all of
the preliminary matches out of the
way. play will commence this morn
ing in the first round of the western
championship tennis tournament. Both
mems and women's singles will start

Owing to the large number OF local

yesterday and Saturday in order to
cut down the number of contestants so
that the tourney may be run off this
week.
Today's play will be the first day
in which out of town contenders will
compete. Heath Byford and Ralph
Burdick OF Chicago and Fred Josties
and Theodore Drews of st. Louis are
expected to be strong contenders in
tho mems events, while Miss Mar
gUerite Davis of ST. Paul, Mimi, Miss
Corrine Gould of st. Louis and Mrs.

Topeka apparently is for Sunday
baseball. The fans are beginning to

watch the clash between the local
Santa Fee team and the Union Pacific

rs WONDERFUL"
Mrs. Kirkland Could Hardly
Walk at Times.
Gains Twenty Pounds by Taking
Tanlac.

Mrs. Matte Kirkland, a highly es-
teemed resident of 2547 Benton boule-
ward, Kansas City, Mo, called at tho
Owl drug store, recently, and made
the remarkable statement that she
has not only gained twenty pounds in
weight by the use of seven bottles of
Tanlac, but that the medicine has also
relieved her of a case of nervous in
digestion that had made life miser-
able for her for three years.
When asked if she would be willing
for her statement to be published,
Mrs. Kirkland said:
Yes, indeed, for if it had not been
for others allowing the news of their
recovery published 1 would not have
known about Tanlac and would still
be sick woman. So 1 feel that 1
ought to make a statement myself
and try TO benefit someone else. Dur
ing those three years everything 1 ate
disagreed with me. My appetite was
so poor that 1 seldom felt like eating
and I would suffer for hours after
every meal from the gas on my stom-
ach. My head ached all the time and
1 often got so nervous and dizzy that
I would have to lay down. 1 lost
weight until I got down to only one
hundred and ten pounds and my
homework was a burden to me.
was so rundown and weak that
used most everything 1 heard of moth
ing did me any good.
II read SO many testimonials for
Tanlac given by our own Kansas City
people. and their statements sounded
so sincere, that 1 made up my mind
to try the medicine myself. So
bought a bottle and when I finished
taking it there was such a wonderful
change in my condition that I got an
other, then. another, and so on until
now 1 have used seven bottles and
the results have been nothing less
than wonderful. I can eat just any
thing without the least trouble after
wards and my appetite was never bet
ter. My nerves are perfectly calm
and 1 sleep every night just like a
child. In fact, I am feeling as strong
and well as I did before my troubles
started, three years ago, and 1 have
actually gained twenty pounds in
weight I know now for myself that
Tanlac is wonderful and can't praise
it too highly for what it has done for
me-"

Victory postage stamps new
three-ccnt issue, to commemorate
the successful conclusion of the war,
are on sale throughout the country.
In announcing the issue the Post
office Department said the supply
would not be sufficiently large TO re-
place the regular threc-cent stamps
and postmasters would sell victory
stamps only on request.
The new stamp bears the figure OF
Liberty Victorious, helmeted and
with sword in one hand and scales
in the other. The whole design ap-
pears upon shaded panel, with
American, British, French, Belgian
and Italian flags draped for the
background. In size it compares
with other special stamps and is
wider and shorter than the ordinary
stamp. 1t probably will require
several weeks to supply requisitions
from all postoffices.

Give Seed Potatoes Sun Bath.

Give Seed Potatoes Sun Bath.
Seed potatoes kept for the winter
at a low temperature to prevent
sprouting should, according to a
practical farmer. be warmed up be-
fore planting by spreading in the
sun for week or so. If cold nights
interfere, he advises covering with
burlap sacking. This must be re-
moved early in the morning, how
ever, to prevent sweating. Potatoes
thus exposed will start larger,
healthier sprouts than il put into
the ground direct from a cold cellar
or pit. IF spread thin ON the
ground, sprouts will not start for
weeks but the eyes will swell, giving
promise of just what the grower
wants,-a good stout stalk. This
is one of the little things that yield
big returns.

Changes In Estate Tax Law.

Provisional regulations covering
changes in the estate tax were an
nounced yesterday at the Internal
Revenue Office. They were adopted
by the committee, >of which Mr..
Clarence Miles, head of the division
in the Maryland District, was
member. They are of primary im
portance, affecting as they do be-
quests and gifts of every description.
They are effective as of February
rs, 1919, the day on which the
revenue act was signed.
The rates of tax have been
changed materially, there. being a
decrease so far as smaller estates
are concerned. Up to $450,000 the
tax is the same as by act of 1916,
when first imposed, and very much
lower than by act of 1917. Begin
ming with half million they arc
higher than in the original law, but
much less than last year; from ST.
900, 900 upward, however, thcy are
the same as in 1917.
In addition to establishing new
rates, the act provides that the taxes
imposed shall not apply to the trans
fer of the net estate of any decedent
who has died or may die while sery-
ing in the military or naval forces OF
the United States in the present war,
or from injuries received or disease
contracted while in such service, and
that any tax collected upon such
transfer shall be refunded to the
executor. The term military or
naval forces of the United States"
includes the Marine Corps, Army
Nurse Corps (female) and the Navy
Nurse Corps (female) but this shall
not be deemed to exclude other units
otherwise included within such
term.
1t will be noted that this provision
is retroactive and covers those cases
in which the estate tax has already
been collected. In any such case
where the tax has been paid by the
executor of the estate of a decedent
coming within the provisions of this
section, formal claim for refund
should be submitted, necessary proof
being Forthcoming.
A new provision has been added,
including in the gross estate Of the
decedent the amount receivable by
the. executor as insurance under
policies taken out by the decedent
upon his own life, and to the extent
of the excess over $4,000 of the
amount receivable by all benefici-
aries as insurance under policies
taken out by the decedent upon his
own life. The first portion of this
amendment is in accordance, with
the present ruling on the subject,
but the inclusion of the excess of in
surance $4,000 that is receivable by
beneficiaries other than the executor
is change in the law, no such pro-
vision being included in the previous
acts. The word beneficiary" as
used in this paragraph relates solely
to a beneficiary of an insurance
policy.
The provision in which the Johns
Hopkins University is particularly
interested has to do with the exemp-
ton Of charitable, public or philan-
thropic requests. This law is retro
active and deductions may be made
in the case of estates of decedents
who have died since December 81,
1917.
The provision in the original law
allowing discount of five per cent,
for advance payment has been
stricken from the law and no dis
count can now be permitted-From

Prof. James e. Rice of the De-
partment Of Poultry Husbandry,
Cornell University, Ithaca, New
York, in statement issued few
days ago at the meeting of the New
York State Poultry Associations in
New York City, declared that tests
carried on at Cornell during PERIOD
of forty-eight weeks, with more than
200 hens and pullets, have. proved
beyond the shadow OF a doubt that
lights in chicken coops have a
direct effect on the production OF
eggs. The coops were kept lighted
until nine o'clock every night
throughout the test, and the egg
totals showed that 100 hens and pull
lets in the lighted chicken house
produced 1876 $40 more eggs than
the same number of chickens in the
unlighted coops.
The reason for the increased pro-
duction Of eggs in lighted coops was
given by Prof. Rice as being that the
hens had more time in which to eat.
There was no long wait between sup
per and breakfast. Prof. Rice said
that the same amount Of feed was
required by the busy layers as by
the other hens, but the hens who
had the artificially long day ate their
food more slowly.
At Wholesale prices, the increased
number of eggs in the lighted coop
during the period of the experiment
amounted to $71.88.
