the Tulane theatre tonight. 1t is
called western Blood" 1t is an
other of those sterling photplays that
have made Tom Mix and his players

". This time Mix is the owner of a
ranch and is gathering horses for
the United States troops in France.
He becomes acquainted with the
daughter Of the officer in charge of
the remount station in Los Angeles
by lifting her from her saddle onto

of the many stunts that Mix does IN
this story, all of them of the breath

the tale is much humor and an ex

The recent arrest of a dangerous

ity of a young and charming wom-
an. This young woman's father was
found dead under mysterious circum-
stances by the police, with a bullet
wound in his body. TIE young wom
ans suspicious were strongly iderect-
ed toward a group of gamblers with
wnom the dead man had been asso-
ciated. In furtherance of her vow
to unravel the mystery she became
the head of a we'll known gambling
salon. The cunning methods en-
ployed by the girl detective that fin
ally fastened the crime on the gull
ty man form sensational and alb
sorbing story. This story is graph

cision of Daniel C. Roper, commits

at is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March 15,' says
Commissioner Roper. ''No other
course is possible. Some months ago
the Treasury issued certificates OF
Indebtedness to an amount approxi-
mating $S00,000, 600, maturing March
IS. The first payment OF the in
come and excess profits taxes for
1918 was planned for that date, to
meet this huge obligation.
"The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by co-opera-
ton. This present situation is an
other emergency which .can be over
come by cooperative effort. The
Bureau extends its every force to-
ward this end, and lam replying
upon the people to meet the situa-
tion Fundamentally.
"The Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the program pre-
sclibed in the new law, which re
quires all returns for 1913 to be filed
on or before March Is, 1919, and re-
quires the first quarterly payment or
the entire payment to be made on or
before that date.
every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
Is. The quartely payment method
is intended for taxpayers whose IL
nancing of the tax at one time would
tend to upset local financial condi-
tions.
"The approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House
of Representatives brings the new
revenue bill to the point where it
may b assumed to be law. The In
ternal Revenue Bureau has been max
ing preparations to collect the taxes
which it provides, and is now putting
all of it's efforts into aiding the tax
Payers to fulfill the obligations i'm
posed.
"The Bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thousand
deputies and agents to assist taxpay,,
ers These officers will be stationed
at convenient points, where they may
Lc u...-3,ted without charge. Tax
payers should take the initiative and
get in touch with these revenue men
for any needed advice and assistance
in preparing returns.
"The forms for the tax returns are
being printed and all forms will be IN
the hands of collectors between Feb
ruary Is and March l."

SEATTLE OFFICER
TELLS OF TROUBLE
COLLINS WAS NEARLY DOWN
AND OUT-GAINS TWENTY
FIVE POUNDS By TAKING
TANLAC.

"A medicine that will do as much
for suffering people as this Tanlac
has done for me is certainly worth
recommending to the public, and
can't say too much for it," said John
w. Collins, of 1914 East Columbia
street, Seattle, while in a Bartell
drug store recently. Mr.. Collins has
been a resident of Seattle for the
past thirteen years, and. is a popu-
Jar member of the police force.
"When began taking Tanlac,"
Mr.. Collins continued, 81 weighed
only one hundred and fifty pounds
and was in such bad condition that
could not patrol my beat. But l
now weigh one hundred and seventy
five pounds-have gained twenty-five
pounds-and am feeling fine. | have
had trouble with my stomach Tor
several years. Nearly everything l
would eat disagreed with me. My
food would almost invariably sour
and keep me filled with gas and mis-
ery most all the time. Then some
time ago | had fall of about thirty
feet which came near putting me
out of commission. On top of this
| had an attack of grippe and l SIM
ply got to where l was just about
town and out. My whole body seemed
| full of neuralgia and rheumatism and
| ached all over. Every joint in me
ached, and the pain in the left side
of nv back, over my kidneys, was
90 severe at times that | could hard
ly stand it. Nothing did me any good
| and finally | just had to give up my
position, stop working entirely and
do nothing but try to find relief
| My sleep was very poor and | kept
| falling off in weight until got down
to one hundred and fifty pounds.
"Then ! got uneasy about my con,
| dition, went to Colorado and stayed
there for while, but never did any
better until / began taking Tanlac
and then commenced climbing
| right up. / have used six bottles
| now and have gotten rid of all that
neuralgia and rheumatism entirely
| and never feel an ache or pain. MY
appetite is great and my stomach is
| i'm such good shape that ] can eat
| lust anything | want without the
least trouble afterwards. / now sleep
like a log every night and am In
splendid condition in every way. I'm
going back to work tomorrow, and !
| cheerfully recommend Tanlac to
everybody"

LAUNCH COW
TESTING DEPT,
FOR DIARIES
Farm Bureau Hopes to En-
list 1000 Animals in Con
test for Quantity PrOduc"
ton.

Revival of the COW testing depart
ment, field of activity which was
abandoned during the war, lis prom
ised by the Imperial County Farm
Bureau in bulletin prepared today
for circulation among dairymen and
ranchers.
"The cow testing department will
be revived if the dairymen exhibit
sufficient interest to support it." said
]. P. Hertel, assistant farm adviser,
today "That the interest in this
competitive plan of increasing guam
tity and quality production is not
tagging is demonstrated by the fact
that we have already had more than
dozen inquiries even though no for
NAL announcement has been made up
to now"
Certificates Of production will be
issued to each COW making 300
pounds of butterfat during a period
of ten months. The certificates will
include the name Of the owner, age
of the cow, her sire and dam, her pro-
duction of milk, production each
month, and a photograph of the bo-
vine.
The Farm Bureau believes that the
certificates will be of especial value
in the sale of the cows and their Off
spring as we'll as their produce.
1t is hoped to list at least 1000
cows in the department. This will be
a sufficient number to train two men
in the field. If the registration does
not reach this figure, only one man
will be employed.

WARNING.

Owing to the fact that complaints
have been made charging that the
eight-hour law for women is being
violated by various firms in Ell Cen
tro, and feeling sure that the viola
tion is due rather to carelessness on
the part of both the employer and
the employees than to deliberate IN
tentioh, am calling attention to the
complaints, hoping that this will be
all that will be necessary.
