CATARRH DOES HARM
Whether 1t Is Of the Nose, Throat,
or Other Organs, Get Rid of Il,

Catarrh of the nose or throat when
it becomes chronic weakens the deli
cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
tive organs, and may lead to con-
sumption. 1t impairs the taste, smell
and hearing, and affects the voice. It
is a constitutional disease and re-
qulres constitutional remedy.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
by purifying the blood removes the
cause of the disease and gives per-
manent relief. This alternative and
tonic medicine has proved entirely
sat Dry to thousands of families
IN three generations.
If there is biliousness or constipa-
ton, take Hoods Pills,-they are a
thorough cathartic, a gentle laxative.

of the best developed counties in the
State. It's county seat is fine city of

only 81, 500, 900 and the county is bonded

Mayor Wescott once said while speak
ing at meeting, that Belfast ought to be
larger than it is. If every person in Bel
fast would carry those eight words in
their minds the concentration of five
thousand minds on one idea would bring
our mayors desire to pass. A city of
10000 is a mighty desirable place to live
in. Not too large yet busy and with money
enough to accomplish things and be real
city. Our highly respected weekly paper
would blossom into a daily and there
would be development in every line. AS
long as we remain at 5000 we can only
accomplish half as much as we might.

grow.

Another thing that has helped to spread

REVENUE LAW
 FUNDS PLACED
 AT HIGH FIGURE
Tobacco Taxes Have Grown Enormously Within Past
 Few Years.

Washington, Dec. 5-Estimates of $6,O00, 100000 as the yield Of the present revenue law for the first F months of it's operation will be closely approached 1t not fully real ized, Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper said yesterday in his annual report.
 Payments of the first two install ments, March F and June 15, brought into the treasury a total of S2,600,783. 900, Mr. Roper said, while reports already in hands of the third instaIlmert payable Sept. 15, fully support the bureau eesttmate.
 Commissioner Roper said the tos bacco industry had developed into one of the greatest sources of federal revenue, the total receipts from this source alone for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1919, being $206.O03,0OO, an increase of $48,SO0,00O over those of the preceding year.
 An enormous increase in the num- ber of cigarettes manufa ctured was shown by the reports, the total kof the last fiscal year being approXi- mately eight times larger than in 1910, In that year, $500, 100000 cigarettes and S.000.000,00Q cigars were manufactured, while in the last fiscal year the manufacture of Cig' arettes had increased to 45.500,000,- 900 while the number of cigars re- mained practically stationary,
 Discussing constitutional prohibi- ton, MT. Roper said that probably 50,Oo0,OOO gallons of spurious liquors would remain in bonded warehouses when the constitutional amendment becomes effective Jan. 16.
 During the year ended June St. approximately g9,0OO, 900 gallons ot distilled liquor were produced from materials other than fruits, this figure representing a decrease of nearly 75,0OO, 900 gallons from the previous years production.
 The effect of wartime prohibition has presented a problem which IS causing revenue officials serious embarrassment" MT. Roper said. Holders of heavy stocks of liquor in bond were forced, under provisions of the last revenue act, to pay an additional tax Sept 15. The law closing the saloons for the per1od or the war has left those interests with their products and without means of obtaining money to make the tax payments, he said.
 Under the law the discretion of the bureau is limited to extending the time for payment of these taxes seven months" MT. Roper explained. Serious embarrassment has resulted as to the course of action which should be taken in these cases to protect the interests of the govern ment without imposing undue dnan- ciaI hardships on the taxpayers which presumably were not intended by Congress-
 The report revealed a menace in iIIegitimate traffic in drugs between this country and Canada and Mexico. MT Roper urged that some tempor- ary arrangement be established which would put a stop to this smuggling.
 Expenditures Of the bureau during the last fiscal year, MT. Roper said, were $20,573,771, an increase of $12,- OO3,214 over the previous fiscal year. On this basis, he said, it had cost the government 0.543 per cent. to admin ister the revenue laws and collect

Abingdon, Dec. 5.---F'our jitney bus
 operators, Jason E. Cushing, B. B
 Dwyer, c. s. James Of Whitman and
 Authbut BoIles of Br8cicton, whose cases, alleging violatfosl of town reg uiations in operating their buses , through the Whitman streets in vfo- l lation of town ordinances, have been under advisement. were declared not guilty by Judge George W. Kelley ef the District Court Tuesday morning. The quartet of drivers were sum moned into court 9 week ago by Chief beIioy Phinncy of Whitman. who charged the illegal operation of motor vehicles for hire in the town limits i without 8 license. The case is the aftermath of the recent edict of the 1 Whitman selectmen who have tabooed ] the jftney, declaring that the bus can not be operated in competition with the street cars
 1 In his finding, Judge Kelley de-
 clared that the requirements of the l license under the rules and reguIa- l tions adopted by the Whitman board 1 cannot be sustained.''
 l Judge Kelley in his decision stated: No town can pass a bylaw which l dtscriminates against competition be- 1 tween persons engaged in the same 1 line of business He further stated 1 that section two Of the regulations. l embodying the clause relating to con- petition with the street railway, is l discrimination, as under it the select men of Whitman will not grant I- |censes to any persons who are to en- gage in business in competition with
 the street railway company.
 1 Under another section, the court de- ] cided that no one could drive through l the town of Whitman with a vehicle 1 for hire without first securing a I- 1 cense in the town of Whitman, even a jitney from Boston to the Cape not 1 being able to pass through the town, ! so that under this section the court ruled, the requirements of the license cannot be sustained.
 The decision is of wide interest,
 many cities and towns having care
