ADVERTISING FAKES
 EXPOSED BY LEAGUE
Vigilance Committee Lands FakirS
 in Prison

New York. March 12.--Ingenious use of advertising schemes by get rich quick" men are being run down by the national vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. which keeps a corps of men at this work almost constant ly. Richard H. Lee, special counsel of the committee. who supervises the work, tells many stories of confidence men and the methods used to com- bat and convict them.
 One man, he says, formed a league of automobile users. The league is sued price. list of accessories, all quoted less than possible for the manufactures to make them. When member ordered an article, an- other was substituted and a circular letter explained that because of the great demand, the factory was be- hind in its orders. In some cases the substitution was attributed to the rareness of the object desired The substitute was d cheap affair, made for the head of the league, but the member was satisfied. mporarily at least, by the explanation that while it's price was higher than that or dcred, the league would sell it to him for the same sum.
 This man built up d good reputa- ton by means of ''preferred" GUS toners. whom Mir. Lee describes as plants who innocently furthered the designs of the swindler. A group of these men was established in each town where the league did business
 As an illustration. Mir. Lee cites the case of one of the most promi- nent surgeons in an Ohio city, who was persuaded to join the league. He bought tire, which an agent ob- taincd from d local dealer at the usual retail price, and then held un- til the proper time had elapsed for shipment from, headquarters. The doctor was delighted. In a few days the agent dropped around to see him and asked how. the tire was holding up. On inspection the agent found an imaginary flaw, and insisted upon replacing the tire with a new one also bought at the usual retail price. He left the supposedly defective tire. saying that the doctor could use 1t

ITALIAN POET HAS
 MANY SUPERSTITIONS
Innumerable Peculiaritics Make Up Temperament of TAnnunZio: Is
 FaStidious as to Food

Plume, March 2.-Innumera ra bla ment of Gabrielle d'Annunzio. He is superstitious to the core and will never sit down to an ordinary meal unless there are II persons at the table. He is fastidious in his choice of foods and will drink only special kind of Rhine wine. His favorite dish is "scampi," a small crab-fish found only in the Quamero. He was a lover of the fish when he lived on the Grand Canal in Venice.
 So much did he think of the food that he went upon search of all that was written about them and has compiled already StudiouS lecture upon the subject. The fish resembles in color the American shrimp, but is much larger and has ;l taste milder than lobster, approxim ating the crab. but considerably more toothsome. 'Scampi' is the favorite seafood in practically all of the north Adriatic resorts.
 Besides his partiality for ''scampi," d'Annunzio is a lover of ice cream. He sometimes divides a large cake Of it intended for the whole table into two halves. He takes ono entire half himself then gives the other half to the remaining 10 at the table.
 The poets dining room must be done in red. The walls must be cov- cred with red tapestry and much of the furniture. Then, too. orders are given concerning the color of flowers morning, noon and night.

visiting the factory which was sit uated within 20 miles.
 Mir. Lee tells of isiting a man, now in prison. whom he describes as the Country's foremost swindler. He ask ed for another international confi- dence man" who had been associated with the first and learned that they had ceased to correspond.
 Did you know that he had for tune?" MT. Lee asked.
 ''How could he, after the money I stole from him? ?" was the rejoinder Mr. Lee still insisted and the man eX- claimed:
 Can it be possible that fellow wasn't on the level with me?'

ARE YOU A REAL MAN OR A WEAKLING?
Don't Be Pale and Sickly Always Let Gol,linc Build Up Your System

Are you one of those weak, frail- appearing men who seem small and insignificant in the presence of real, well-developed, red-blooded men? Are you one of those who secretly envy other men who reflect health in their faces, their manners, their steps and who have the strength necessary to go through the duties of life without hnching or weakening?
 Be real man. Step out of the Weakling state as you would step out of an old, Worn-out suit. Put each aside and appear among your friends before the world in your new body, Built up, strengthened and radiating good health and power in every move.
 Ii can be done. It has been done thousands of times. What you need Ss food for the blood. food for the nerves. More blood and nerve strength will make your body grow, make your muscles become larger and more powerful bring color, to your skin and make you fit to under take your tasks and accomplish them as they should be accomplished.
 . This food for the blood and nerves is contained in .Goldine No. l. Col dine remedies are made of herbs which hay eproved to be good, sinew building food. GoIdine No. also contains iron which strengthens the blood, makes new blood cells, builds up the nerve tissue throughout the body and creates power and vigor. With the iron is soda which acts as an anti-acid and prevents gastric dist stuibances of the stomach and Bowels which is produced in com bina tionS of iron with nux, phoS- chorus. arsenic and strychnine or othcr poisonous drugs.
 N If you want to be classed with the real men, if yoGh want others to look at you you now look at big, strong. healthy men, start the Goldine treat mcnt. Remember, Goldine No. 1. It comes in liquid and tablet form. And it's sold at CroMelrs Drug Store.

which makes their 1lse unpopular with most people.
 In Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin the finest Egyptian senna is com bined with pepsin and other valu- able agents, essential oils and pure cane sugar syrup to make an ex- ceptionally valuable to nic-laxative for the relief of constipation and resulting disturbances of the stomach and bowels. The com plete formula is plainly printed in English, French, and Spanish on every package. Thousands who formerly bought an inferior grade of senna leaves now use Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin instead. It is sold in drug stores everywhere.
 In spite of the fact that Dr. Cnld- .velPs S5rnp Pepsin is the largest selling liquid Laxative in the .uorId, rhere being oVer 6 million bottles sold each year, many Who need its benefits hnve not get used tt. f. you have not send yonr name and address for a fee tridl bottle to Dr. ".

LESS MEAT EATEN
 DURING PAST YEAR
High Retail Prices Caused Per Capi- ta Consumption to Fall
 Eight Pounds.

Washington, March 12.-High re- tail prices in 1919 reduced the per capita consumption of beef in Amer ica almost eight pounds and caused the consumer to turn more frequent ly to veal and mutton, according to a statement today by the department of agriculture Slightly less pork waS' eaten but the total consumption of pork pro ducts was much larger than in 1917 and the exports of pork and lard were greater than ever shown in the records of the depart ment.
 The total meat consumption was less than in 1918. the per capit;l for 1918 being 150.0S and that in 1919 being 141.9S.
 Beef exports were shown to have fallen off 56.S per cent. but the ship mcnts of pork and lard to foreign ports showed d great increase. The exports were equivalent to Is. .000,000 hogs weighing 200 pounds apiece.
 Less pork and lard were consumed in America but the number of hogs slaughtered was a 1.OOO,OOO' more than in 1918.
 The reduction in foreign orders was the heaviest blow received by the beef industry. The exports declined 56.S per cent. from the previous year. The department attributed the fall ing off of exports to the return of European countries to the cheaper sources of supply in South America and Australia. The decrease in for eign orders for beef was large as to bring down the tctal meat produc- ton in America 4 per cent. lower than the previous year when packers were supplying a great part of the

This Tells You How to Get
 Benefit of the Best Senna
Finest Grade of Egyptian Senna Leaves used in
 compromising Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin.

DROMINENT importers and
 wholesale dealers in crude
 drugs and medicinal herbs gathered from all parts of the world do not hesitate to say that the market for the better grades of medicinal herbs, roots, oils, etc, is practically confined to the lead ing manufacturers of the so-called package medicines, who buy only the very best, and that the manu- lecturers of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are the largest users of the best grade of Egyptian senna leaves in the world.
 The potency of a tea brewed from senna leaves to relieve con- stipation has long been recognized, not only by the medical profes- sion, but by the public generally; in fact, senna has been known and used in medicine for more than five centuries. The cheaper grades of senna, such as are usu- ally sold at retail, have, however, a tendency to gripe and cramp

European market due to the imprac- ticiblity of obtaining meats from Ar gentina and other markets patronized before the war.
 Figures supplied by the department show the American people ate more veal ana mutton than during the war but the per capita consumption of goat meat, rever large, was only 0.09 pounds.

veloped considerable strength at the
last session, there were some Repuo-
licans. as well as probably major
ity of Democrats, who continued 10
defend the tax. Failure OF any one
to offer a substitute plan for raising
revenue which could meet with any
general approval was the chief
stumbling block in the way or its re-
peal. While the sales tax was adVo-
Gated in some quarters, sentiment on
the proposition did not crystalize 10
to the point where it's adoption was
made peseible.

years ri come.
The annual report OF Secretary or
the Treasury Houston. which is be-
ing prepared for submission to Con
gress early in December, will contaiL
recommendations relative to changes
in the revenue law. He Is expected
especially to urge immediate action
on the bill pending before the Senate
making administrative changes in
law. The Treasury has been opposed
to the excess profits tax and the an
nual report undoubtedly will renew
the recommendation for its repeal,
or modification.

PROFIT JAXES
HERE TO STAY
No Chance for Reduction OF
Levy on Business for An
other Year.

II 10 now a practical certainty that
there will be no reduction OF Federal
taxes on business for the calendar
yeaE of 1920. payable next year ana
that no relief can be expected untli
after the Inauguration OF a new Presi-
dent. Any change in the law then
effected will apply to the calendar
year 1921.
Although agitation for repeal of the
excess pronts tax Is increasing in
volume leaders of both parties agree
that there is little probability OF any
action in this direction OF any other
fundamental revision of the revenue
laws at the approaching short session
Of Congress which meets in December.
AT VARIANCE ON PLANS.
While the administration and a
majority of the Republicans are In
favor OF repeating the excess profits
tax the Democrats and Republicans
are at variance on proposed substi-
tutes and moreover, the Republicans
are insistent upon revising the tarin
upward for protective as well as
revenue purposes II any revision is
attempted.
For these reasons any bill embody-
ing fundamental amendment which
might be passed at the short session
would be likely to be vetoed by Presi-
dent Wilson. Moreover, with the ap-
propriation bills to be disposed OF
there would not be sufficient time
during the short session to frame and
pass any far-reaching revision.
Senator Harding intends, II elected
to convene a special session of Con-
gress. probably in April, 1921, to en-
act a protective tariff and revise
direct taxes downward. This will in
yolve consideration of re jealinS the
excess profits tax and placing the
revenue production on an entirely
new tasis. If Governor COX should
be elected and the Democrats re-
turned to the control Of Congress
revenue legislation undoubtedly
would be postponed until the new
body convened. In the event the
Democrats should carry the Presi-
dcncy. but lose Congress, both par
ties probably would rather legislatc
under Cox than under Wilson.
Inasmuch as the final date for the
making of returns on taxes. on profits
and incomes of the year 1920 Will
have passed before the special ses-
sion of next spring convenes there is
scarcely any possibility of action af-
fecting the present year.
Some changes in the revenue law
might be possible during the coming
winter IL the Republican organiza-
ton in Congress had any well-denned
program on the subject. While oppo-
stion to the excess prof1ts tax de-
