of the Committee appointed to report
on this Ordinance, | feel at this time
in a rather embarrassing position.
Since signing the Committee Report,
| have given the bill more study and
consideration than before, both in it's
entirety as we'll as to its separate
paragraphs. | have also made an ex-
tensive investigation into the laws
which are usually found in the States
governing the collecting and recording
of vital statistics and | am now thor
oughly convinced that several features
in this proposed Ordinance are highly
undesirable.
| do not believe the recording of Wit
al statistics should be vested in the
Medical Department at all, but that
such function should continue to be
performed, as at present, by the Judi
ciary and Police Department.
The Public is not accustomed to look
to the hospital to obtain such records
and I can find no precedent in the
States, to justify this change. Such
records are usually kept by the Clerk
of the Court and it is to the Court,
where strangers, usually go for such
information.

APPRECIATE YANKS.

sydney, Observation-Disclosures
have learned to appreciate the
value of the American soldier in
the world war, according to the
late Lieutenant Cecil Healy, of the
Australian expeditionary force, an
international swimming champion
killed last summer in France. Lieu
tenant Healy. who was one of the
best swimmers in the world over
long and middle distance courses,
competed at the Olympic games in
Stockholm, in a letter to friend
e re id: Until America
ranged herself definitely on our
side, II entertained strong misgiv-
ings as to what the ultimate issue
would be, but when the United
States declared war, the Teutons'
chances of obtaining world domi-
nation vanished forever in my esti-
nation. 1t at once ventured to
prophecy among my coterie of
friends that it would be Yanke e
brains, Yankee wealth and re-
sources alone that would enable US
to stave off defeat.
ITO any group of soldiers that l
happened to come upon in our camp
that were discussing the Yankees,
l told that l had made one of a
bunch of athletes who left Aus
tralia to compete against Amer
leans at the Olympic games. We
were convinced. l assured them,
that the Yanks were all talk as
was supposed. But 1 explained
that after we had had an oppor-
tunity of seeing for ourselves what
they could do in the way of organi-
cation, and had seen evidence of
their shrewd and businesslike sys-
tens, and observed the fact that
they were equipped with every
thing that brains could suggest ard
and money buy; and moreover, had
met them as man to man lin most
instances receiving sound
trouncing at their hands) we be-
gan to regard them highly.
ultimately we returned to Aus
traiia with the firm impression that
the Yank was about as worthy an
adversary as would be met with
in any hemisphere" Lieutenant
Healy was killed in the AustraI-
ians' capture of Mont ST. Quentin

off. Mrs. Margaret Sanborn gave
an original reading, telling how the
parsonage was secured and paid
for.

STATUS AT END
OF YEAR BASIS
Condition on Dec. 81 Relative to
Marriage is Legal One For
Income Taxation.

Status at the close of the taxable
year serves as a basis for exemp-
tions in relation to marriage and
dependents, in payment of income
tax.
Information to this effect has
been received at the local revenue
office from Daniel c. Roper, United
States commissioner of internal
revenue In other words, if a man
or woman is married during the
taxable year, extending from Jan.
to Dec. 81, inclusive, tax will be
levied with the $4,000 minimum ex-
emption. This is a slight modifica-
ton of the rule adhered to in the
past.
According to the tax collectors,
refunds and adjustments of returns
already filed will be made upon the
receipt of instructions from Wash
ington through the Peoria office.
Due to the heavy rush of income
taxpayers during the last week,
with corresponding increase in
work at the collectors office, H. N
Smith, one of the men at work, was
forced to give up last evening and
left for Peoria. Assisting T. J. Cav
anaugh now are A W. DiIzer and
H. W. Rudel.
The collectors this morning is
sued an urgent appeal to all taxpay
ers to have their returns made out
when they come to file, and also to
file promptly, either in person or by
mail, preferably the latter on ac-
count of the brief period left for fl
ing.
When it is considered that all re-
turns taken in during the day
must be audited and forwarded be-
fore the collectors may leave their
office, the magnitude of their task
is realized. 1t is after midnight
each day when the revenue men
finish their task.

GrOuChy!

If your digestion ever goes back
on you, you'll be a crouch, too. You
can't be happy when your digestion
is out of order.
There is no reason why anybody
should let constipation ruin their
lives. Keep the bowels free from
food-waste and your life will be
brighter, better and more enjoy
able. People who enjoy life don't
crouch
Your druggist has a product
called SALINOS which will COM
pletely empty the bowels, including
the lower bowel where the trouble
usually starts. 1t is pleasant in
taste and action. 1t creates no
habit.

Margin of IA Votes.

Of1cial returns of the municipal
primary Tuesday were completed
!! today by the Rock Island municipal
commission and showed no change
over unofficial results in the posi-

dates finished. There were some
cases in which there was differ
ence of a few votes in the official
over the unofficial returns.
In only one case had there been
much likelihood that there would be
a sufficient change in the official
returns to mean the nomination OF
a candidate. That was in the case
of Charles ]. Smith for police mag
istrate, who in the unofficial re-
suits was shown to have $50

Mr.. Igoe charged that funds ac-
crufng to the state treasury from

Eept there because certain officials
whom he referred to by name as

Auditor Andrew Russell, had found
IT advantageous" He said these
officials. together with State Sen

a Springfield banking institution
and that they had other holdings in

1T is much more advantageous
TO these gentlemen to keep the
road funds in the state treasury
and to turn a portion of the inter
est back to the state. than to build
roads with it," Mr.. Igoe declared.
Shurtleff Defends Officials.
Major Leader Shurtleff defended
Treasurer Small. Auditor Russell
and Senator Curtis "as men of in
tcgrity," and denied that ny state
funds had been manipulated to

The state treasurer twice a year

that 9S2 tuberculosis cattle were

the menace of tuberculosis to the

Altogether 1921 lots of cattle, ag-

in January. Those reacting to the
tuberculin test numbered 1850,
which averages less than one ami
