BOARDING HOUSES
COME UNDER LEVY
Taxes Also Expected From
Many Who Lease to
LIE War Workers.

Washington boarding house keepers
are advised by T. II. Aud and Col.
Lee Crandall, deputy collectors of
internal revenue for the District of
Columbia, to underscore on their
calendars March Is, the last day for
the filing of an income tax return
and the payment of at least one
fourth of the tax.
THE year 1918 was a prosperous
one for the proprietors of rooming
and boarding houses said Col.
Crandall yesterday. Thousands OF
war workers were furnished room
and board for which they paid good
prices. Living accommodations were
at a premium, and l venture to say
that there is not now boarding
house in Washington that is not
crowded to capacity. The tax on
profits from this source is expected to
provide q considerable revenue.

THE VERY BEST TIME to take
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is now, If you feel that your
blood is out of order. Don't wait
until you have to cure disease; it's
easier and better to prevent it.
With the first blotches or erup-
tions, or the dullnesS, WEAKNESS and
depression that are some OF the
symptoms, you need this medicine.
1t will rouse every organ into
healthy action, thoroughly cleanse
and repair your system, and build
up needed flesh, health and strength.
It's the only reliable blood rem
edy. In the most stubborn Skin or
Scalp affections, in the worst forms
of Scrofula, in every disease caused
by a torpid liver or impure blood
it never fails to benefit or cure.
The machinery of the body needs
10 be well oiled, kept in good con-
dition just as the automobile, steam
engine or bicycle Most people
neglect themselves. To clean the
system take a pleasant laxative.

BOSTON, Feb "a. - Ambassador
Francis, home from Russia. for the
first time in two years. had several
conferences with President Wilson
while coming over on the George
Washington and made several recon-
mendations for action on the part OF
the allied and American governments
for meeting the Bolshevik menace and
restoring Russia to the family OF ma
tions. Mr.. Francis probably will dis
close them later when he appears be-
fore one of the congressional commit
tees. He probably will remain in
Washington some time, advising the
state department and congress on the
situation as he saw it on leaving.
"a reign of terror instituted by the
Bolsheviki, with the purpose of main
tanning themselves in power, is pre-
vailing in central and northern Rus
sia," said the ambassador. "The out
RACES they have committed are incred-
ible. / think 1t impossible to restore
peace to Europe with chaos prevail
ing in Russia. In fact, with Germany
practically uninjured industrially,
am persuaded that IL peace is nego-
tiated with Bolshevik rule continuing
in Russia, Germany in twenty years or
a decade will be stronger than she
was at the beginning of the war.
Germany is familiar with the Rus.
sian character and for a generation
has been studying it to influence it.
II this turns out, Germany instead Of
having been defeated will have gained
a victory"

The petition claims that clandestine
traffic in food has resulted in price
increases over peace time standards

thousand per cent, (which deprives
millions of workers and women and
children of food and prevents the peo-
pie from obtaining the most element

The petition further asserts that, in
