urged redrafting of the revenue laws to prevent the evasion of federal taxes through the investment of wealth in the obligations of states and munich palities. He said laws should be enacted which would compel the re- porting of such incomes, although they are wholly tax exempt and that that sum, with other income of an individ- ual, should be computed as the basis for assessing federal taxes on the amount derived from taxable sources.
 Relations between conditions in Europe and those in the United States were discussed also by MT. Glass. He said that undoubtedly there was a very great need in Europe for finan- cial assistance, but that the situation had been much exaggerated,

 SAYSMR. GLASS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (by Associ ated Press) No appreciable reduc tion in taxes for the next fiscal year is to be thought of Secretary Glass declares in his annual report, just sent to congress. Government re ceipts must be kept at their present figure, he said, in order to bring gov ernment borrowing to an end.
 Facing expenditures estimated at s5,629,4S6,359 for the year ending June 30, 1920, and $4,473,696,35S for the year ending June 30, 1921, the government must enforce rigid econ omv. MT Glass declares. He places The deficit for the current year at s3,9O5 100000, and for the year end, ing June 30, 1921, at approximately S2,0O5 100000.
 On this basis MT Glass urges con, gress to deny "every appropriation for expenditure in new fields" He says the same policy should obtain until the government had it's sinking fund well under way and repayment of the war debt satisfactorily be, gun"
 Mir. Glass charges that excessive government expenditures are "the most vital factors" in increasing the cost of living, and argues that it is urgently necessary to keep down pub lie expenses for this reason, as well as because of the drain on the tax payers.

ing to rid your system of all accumu-

HOW TO CLEAN BOWELS QUICK.
The MOST COMPLETE bowel cleans
er known is a mixture of buckthorn
bark, glycerine and ten other ingredi-
ents, put up in ready prepared form
under the trade name of Adler-i-ka
This mixture is so powerful a bowel
cleanser that it ALWAYS does it's work
properly and thoroughly. 1t removes
foul and poisonous matter which other
cathartic or laxative mixtures are I'M
able to dislodge. 1t does a COMPLETE
job and it works QUICKLY and with
out the least discomfort or trouble. 1t
is so gentle that one forgets he has
taken it until the THOROUGH evacu-
alton starts 1t is astonishing the great
amount of foul. poisonous matter a
SINGLE SPOONFUL of Adler-i-ka
draws from the alimentary canal
matter you would never have thought
was in your system. Try it right after
a natural bowel movement and notice
how much MORE foul matter will be
brought out which was poisoning your
system. In slight disorders such As
occasional constipation, sour stomach.
''gas on the stomach" or sick head
ache, one spoonful brings relief al
most INSTANTLY. Adler-i-ka is i
the MOST THOROUGH bowel cleans

ready prepared form. 1t is a constant
