Newark Man Writes Letter
of Warm Praise for a
Scotch Doctors Formula

An engineer in Department of Streets
and Public improvements, Bureau of
Sewers, City Hall, Newark, N J., in a
letter. regarding the celebrated Scotch Lin
iment Mysterious Pain Ease" wrote: Il
have used this for years. Don't know how
to get along without it."
Those are the words of a man holding
responsible position in the public ser
vice, a man in charge of large and i'm
pOrtant matters requiring special in
te.ligence and knowledge.
Those who want relief from pain may
well follow his experience and get relief.
The manufacturers are content to ex-
plain that Mysterious Pain Ease was orig
mated from the recipe or formula of a
popular doctor in Scotland. 1t re-
ieYed pain so quickly people thought
there was something mysterious about
it 50 the liniment Mysterious Pain
Ease" was really christened by CRATE
full sufferers who had found relief from
pain.
The manufacturers are very modest
in their claims as they know that every
user will recommend Mysterious Pain
Ease to others.
People recommend it for the pain of
many different troubles like neuritis,
sciatica, muscle cramps, chilbla ms, pains
of rheumatism, neuralgia, sprains of all
kinds, muscular colds where the should
ers, chest and back muscles are in pain,
and pain arising anywhere from intia-
nation.
All dealers sell Mysterious Pain Ease
or can easily get it for you.-Adv.

musical instruments to yield $4,000

An additional tax of per cent on
motion picture films to yield $4,O0O,0OO.
In the readjustment of surtaxeS, Mr..
Houston proposes the division of incomes
into saved" or. reinveSted and spent"
On the former class he would limit the
highest tax to 20 per cent while the in
come spent would be subjected to tax
ranging as high as 30 per cent. Under
the plan proposed by the secretary, in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000 would
be taxed , per cent on the part saved
and the same on the part spent The
same ratio with a graduated increase
would apply to incomes up to 100000
where the maximum of 20 per cent on
saved income is reached. From $4,000
to $4,000, the rates would be 20 per
cent on saved and - per cent on spent :;
$40 900 to $4,000, 20 per cent and 80
per cent $4,000 to $4,000. 20 per
cent and 35 per cent: $4,000 to $780,
600. 20 per cent and 40 per cent, and
over 100000. 20 per cent and so per
cent or total tax of 10 per cent.
The present maximum rate is 40 per
cent on incomes of $1,00O.0O0. but Mr..
Houston declares it has long passed the
point of its minimum productivity" since
it encourages the investment in tax-ex-
empt securities. He says the "Only eff
fective way to tax the rich is to adopt
rates that do not force investment In tax
exempt securities"
An analysis of the government expen-
ditures for the last fiscal year develops
the fact that almost one fifth of the &c.,
40O.0OO,0 900 paid out was spent in con-
nection with federal control and the guar
anty of earnings for the railroads. Only
one department of the goyernment-the
war department-spent more than was
used in connection with the carriers. Tho
war departments total. the record shows
was $1,611, 100000 against $1,037, O00,
600 for the railroads.

question whether prohibition should be
IN force on this island is one that requires
thoughtful consideration.

go from first to second discussion in one

such as is now before the Council to go
from first to second discussion IN one

of the length of the Leviathan, mon.
ster passenger liner. The 1914 feet of,
width of the Lexington will make that
floating gun platform broader than
any passenger ship.
The SLexington; which is to be
equipped with electric drive, will at
tain a speed of 35 knots. This cruiser
speed, higher than that Of many de-
stroyers, is the object of much of the
designing that entered into the crea
tion of the Lexington class. Armor
will be sacrificed to make possible the
35 knot speed--the main belt being
only five inches thick at it's maximum
as compared with the IL inch steel
menet will be of tremendous power.
The Lexington thus will have not only
the strategic advantage of high speed
but will be able to fire heavier
charge over greater distance than
any other battleship for which the
plans are known.
The Lexington in action will speak
with a voice of 16-inch guns, Of
which she will have eight. The navies
of Great Britain, France and Italy
contain no gun greater than Is in
ches, and that Of Japan includes 16-
inch guns only. on battleships Of "a
knot speed which are now under con-
struction. Unlike the dreadnoughc
class reliance on big guns exclusively,
the Lexington will carry 16 six inch
guns as n secondary armament.

sons of the war. the designers of the
Lexington have equipped the ship with
four anti-aircraft guns. eight torpedo
tubes, four Of which are submerged
and four on deck and With means of
