AMAZED OVER
QUICK CHANGE
Greenough Tells of Daugh-
ter's Wonderful Improve
ment Since Taking
Tanlac .....

"My daughter Laura is just now on
her second bottle of Tanlac, and it has
already made an astonishing improvement
in her condition." said Ed Greenough, OF
40 LeClair street, Winooski, VT, the other
day. a..
"For over a year she had been in a
weak, rundown condition. Her digestion
was bad and her appetite poor. She was
nervous and couldn't sleep to do any good.
She had frequent and severe headaches
and awful spells of swimming in the
head.
"She lost weight continually and had
very little strength or energy In fact,
she complained of feeling languid and
wornout all the time, and seemed to be
right on the verge of a complete break
down.
Il got her bottle of Tanlac, and have
never seen such a quick change for the
better in anybody. She is eating heartily
now, and hardly feels touch of indiges-
ton and has gained several pounds IN
weight
"She hasn't had headache since she
began taking Tanlac, sleeps well and is
entirely free from nervousness and diZzi-
ness. / am going to get her another
bottle of Tanlac today, for l feel sure the
medicine viii soon have her in the best
of health. My whole family are strong
for Tanlac." IT,.
Tanlac is sold in Brattleboro by the

of the lack of business. Freight hes
fallen off materially. In the motive de-

neers of rating who have been set back
1t has been said that in some instances
men with 12-year ratings have been set
back from engineers to firemen.
BUSINESS in the passenger service also
has dwipdled. and the through trains are
very poorly patronized. The suburban
traffic holds up. The new men in the
passenger service who have been on the
local trains viii probably all be laid off
today and their places taken by the Older
men in the through service. Some 00
men expect to go.
Many of the employees in the offices. the
men in Freight houses, and around termt-
nails, also. are expecting to be laid of. In
case of big falls of snow many of these
men will necessarily be recalled to service
to keep the lines open.

Success.

Whoever may sing for glory
Whoever may sing for gold,--
Till the last bright beam has faded,
Till the last red spark is cold.
l hold him the better craftsman,
Who serves for the love of art,
And cries in the desert places,
From the fulness of his heart.
The world with its crowns and curses,
The world with it's lures and hes,
Seems something sordid and shallow,
In the sight of seeing eyes.
But the light of Inspiration,
Is never put under ban,
And the Spirits calm approval,
Passes the praise of man.

SECTION REQUIRING PRESIDENT ID PAY
 INCOME TAX VOID Federal Judges Also Elk. empt Under Decision Ren- dered Yesterday By the
 Supreme Court
By AsseeIatsd Pfs.s

Washington, June 1.-Provisions of the war revenue act requiring the President and all federal judges to pay an income tax on their salaries were declared unconstitutional today by the supreme court. in a to decision.
 Under the act. the President paid on his salary of $75.o00 a year. ap- sproximately $1s.ooO in taxes.
 Revenues already collected under the invalid provisions. will. under the courts decision. be refunded by the treasury.
 The supreme courts decision was on appeals by Federal District Judge Walter Evans of Louisville. Ky. from lower court decrees dismissing a suit brought by him to recover taxes in voluntarily paid. He contended that tho federal constitution prohibited judges salaries being diminished dur ing continuance in office.
 Justice VanDevanter, who rendered the majority opinion. held that the sec tion of the revenue act violated con stitutional provisions prohibiting the diminution of such salaries.
 Such a tax, he argued, could be grad ually increased until the entire salary was taken. The majority opinion held however, that federal judge was nol exempt from tax on his private income or on his property.
 Justice Holmes rendered dissenting opinion, in which Justice Brandeis con- cured He declared that no reason existd4 why federal judges should be exempted from the income tax.
 The majority opinion required about an hour for delivery and was one oi the longest rendered by the court in recent years.
