Alex BOggidnO
PrOSpectOr Back
With Big Visions

Alex Goggiano, prospector for gold,
copper, silver anthony and other
treasures of earth. who has a mining
claim in the vicinity of Carrizozo, N M,
is recuperating at his home, following
the most strenuous prospecting trip in
the annals of the latter-day treasure
hunters.
Alex, who was wont for some score
of years to shove wings, or stage pieces,
about the back stage of local theaters
and do work with one hand that it later
took two do with both, now is almost
a physical wreck. He staggered in at
the Orpheum stage door showed sack
of ore to Dave Rosenthal and told him
to keep it. The pack bore samples of
Boggiano's mine located near Carri-
zozo. AS yet expert analysis has not
disclosed just what Alex mined during
his week stay in the southwest.
Long a fancier of the thoroughbred,
Alex did a sprihting stunt on his way
to New Mexico that, according to some
on his friends, beat any burst of speed
ever shown by bangtail. Laws of
New Mexico say that prospector in
order to hold his claim must take his
meals and work his mine at least one
day in the year. On his way West
Alex was delayed at Amarillo, Tex,
Reaching Carrizozo on the last day OF

DR. W. B. Caldwell of Mon
ticeIlo, Illinois, was and is a
H. family doctor. The whole
human body, not any small part
oft, was his practice. More than
half his calls" were on women,
children and babies. They are
the ones most often sick. But
their illnesses were usually OF a
minor nature-colds, fevers, head
aches, biliousnessv-and all OF
them required first a thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
DR.. Caldwell in the course of 40
years practice, for he was grad
uated from Rush Medical College
back in 1875, had found a good
deal of success in such cases with
a prescription of his own contain
ing simple laxative herbs with
pepsin. In 1892 he decided to
use this formula in the manufac-
ture of a medicine to be known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and
in that year the preparation was
first placed on the market. The
picture of DIR. Caldwell that APP
pears on the package was taken in
that year.
The preparation Immediately
had as great a success in the drug
stores as it previously had in the
doctors private practice. Today
the third generation is using it.

 NEW RECORD

 Commissioner Williams
EXPENSES 29 MILLIONS
Enforcement of Prohibition Costs Government More
 Than Two Millions

WASHINGTON. Dec Collection .or $5.407 .5SO.2 in taxes and efforts
 10 control the liquor traffic under the prohibition act formed the principal work of the internal revenue bureau during the last fiscal year, Commis- sioner Williams said in his annual re- port made public tonght.
 The tax collection was the greatest
 in the history of the nation. he added
 while in prohibition enforcement the
 bureau was faced with the creation Of an organization which embraced all states and Hawaii, Porto Rico and Alaska.
 Total income and profit taxes made Iup the bulk of the revenue obtained
 by the government with $3,956, ,936,- 003 but the report shows that an ad- !ditional $295, S09,355 came from toba- eco taxes. The levy in distilled and ,fermented liquors produced $139, ,401,- 149 and miscellaneous and war eXise taxes brought $SS3 S65,S71. The re- mainder of the revenue was from cap- ,ital stock. stamp and special taxation. Williams noted the collection of I$1S117%7S from -ahens who were de- parting for their native lands after a temporary residence in the United States. Many of these, he said. were not inclined to comply with the reve- inue regulations which require the sat isfaction of all tax liabilities before passports are issued.
 Total expenditure of the bureau
 was $29 9,647 439 including $2,O59774 for enforcement of prohibition; $460,- S27 to enforce the Harrison narcotic law and $S9703 for enforcement Of the child labor law This made the actual cost of collecting the record tax bill $27.037134 or 50 cents per $100 as compared with 5 cents per
 $100 for the fiscal year of 1919.

 Icly that restoration of the thnne of Greece to king whose disloyaI at utude and conduct towards the allies during the war caused them Srcat
 embarrassment and loss could only be regarded by them as ratitica, ion
