This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When a doctor uses a medicine him

You may be sure a doctor woul not en-

ROUNDING UP ALIEN TAX DODGERS.

While tears are being shed in this country by certain
interests over the departure OF large numbers Of aliens.
who are forced to go home in order to keep in touch with
q supply CT booze, it comes TO light that great numbers
OF hem. WHO worked for high wages here while American
boys fought in Europe. have attempted to defraud the
government out Of large sum on their income tax
returns.
When lie tide OF emigrants began TO swell at eastern
ports. a drive on the delinquents was started by the in
ternal revenue commissioner, and a total of $3.50 has
been taken from these departing aliens during the last
three months at New York alone. Since April 2. it is
shown that the drive on the delinquents who were trying
to get out Of the country without paving up. mas d~-run.ed
TO approximately 81, 35OO00.
Failure 10 pay their income tax was due to ignorance
on the part of some OF these aliens, but no doubt wta a
great many ii was a deliberate attempt to skip out u
the country with as great an accumulation Of funds as
possible. When the war was raging in Europe they STAYED
in this country and made fabulous wages in war NUM-
lions plants, but with the passing of danger they are eager
to return 10 their former homes with their savings.
This class escaped military service, but they should
moi be allowed 10 escape paying their income tax. and
having made such a cleanup from the aliens already de-
parted the internal revenue agents may be expected TO
see thn: those other millions. who. il is predicted. VIII
leave the country, do not slip through the net without
paying up.
The departing aliens are not the only income tax
dodgers, but there is a sure way to catch them. and that
is to mold up passports until they disgorge. If the emf
grant tide continues Europeward. Uncle Sam will collect
some more millions he might otherwise have lost

RAILROADS HANDICAPPED.
Frozen Switches and Drifts Interfered
With Service.

Train traffic between here and Phila-
delphia wss badly crippled during the
night, no trains having moved out 81
Broad street station from midnight last
night until late this morning The many
switches in the station became frozen BY
the sleet that fell and made il impossible
for trains 70 move with safety.
Two trains from New York passed
through here this morning, passing
through West Philadelphia, and these
trains were running behind time. The
first one was that which left New York st
80 and reached here st 9 Trains from
the lower part of the State and other
northbound trains were running under
normal conditions this morning.
Below Wilmington on the Maryland
division the service was fairly good,
though for time the southbound tracl,
only was used in the vicinity OF Bacon
Hill. There were some drifts, but they
we're not serious The railroads had men
out all night IN an effort 10 keep the
tracks open
The first train TO arrive here on the
Reading railway today came 10 over two
hours late. That was the milk train due
crew reported good deal OF snow In some
that arising from floods.
The main trouble on the southern di-
vision between here and Coatesville MAS
at Cossart. A train got stuck in ave or
six feet Of water at that point last night
apd froze there during the night. This
morning everything southbound WAS held
up until this train could be unwedged
from the ice. The next train down to
" ilmington lost about an hour OF her
time.
North Of Coatesville there was much
more snow and water and consequently
that division Of the traffic suffered more.
But that condition has now been relieved
greatly, it Was reported, so that traffic
should soon be near normal on that part
Of the road.
Much suffering from cold and foods
Was reported all along the line, although
no casualties were heard Of down here.
Traffic on the local division OF the r.
& @. railroad was interrupted for a time
because of the flooding of the Schuylkill
bridge in Philadelphia
Traffic over the Delaware railroad 10
Cape Charles has not been at all inter-
Tered with by the storm and everything is
moving over the line today. The branch
lines are open and are experiencing no
trouble. The railroad wires are in excel
lent condition and reported no trouble
during the storm.
Shortly before noon it was reported
that service out Of Broad street station
was resumed after having been tied up
since midnight on account Of the switches
and cross-overs being frozen. All north
bound trains passing through here are
running on time, but southbound trains
are running from 80 TO As minutes late
on account of the trouble that existed
at Broad street station, 1t is hoped to
lave the trains running nearly normal
this afternoon.

and Stanton WAS also olosed 70 those
desiring to get through 10 Wilmington Of
from Wilmington to Newark. The water
under Stanton railroad bridge was -four
or fivs feet deep. For time carly yoster-
day afternoon machines were able TO get
around the bridge by using tho road in the
rear Of the railroad station up over the
tracks and back on tho pike at Boycc
Brothers implement store. Later in the
afternoon even this short detour was cut
of by the water getting too high.
Several trucks were still stalled near The
Stanton railroad bridge at s o'clock this
morning. some Of them having been there
all night. There were many other machines
stalled at other points between Wilmington
and Newark.
FARM LANDS UNDER WATER.
Thousands Of acres Of farm land along
White Clay Creek WAS under water. Al
Stanton the meadow land between the
station and the creek was from FIVE TO Sly
feet under water. There are many othel
hundreds of acres of farm land between
Ruthby and Stanton and Stanton and

STORM VERY SEVERE
ON DELAWARE RIVER
Wind Blew a Gale and Many Boats
Sought Shelter at Reedy
Island.

The storm was severe along the river
At Reedy Island last night the gale at
tanned a velocity of nearly fifty miles an
hour. A Reading tug, q torpedoboat
destroyer, three barges and tramp
steamer anchored off the island during
the night on account of the high gales.
Nothing moved in or out. The vessels
at Reedy Island were all outbound.
but would not venture out in the storm.
These vessels first came to anchor yes
terday afternoon on account OF heavy.
fog that tied up all shipping the river
Trolley service between here and New
Castle and Delaware City was at a stand
still from $50 last evening. The last
car into Delaware City was the $50 o clock
car. A number of people from the sur
rounding country had to walk TO reach
Delaware City and found it very difficult
IN the storm that was raging.
The go o'clock train into Delaware
City was over an hour late. The trains
from Delaware City moved without
trouble thus morning. A snow pillow
cleared the snow drifts early this morning
and prevented any delay in the train
service.
The storm in the lower part of the
State did not delay traffic over the Della
ware road this morning. There was not
much drifting of snow in the vicinity O.,
Harrington. At some places in the VI
entity OF Harrington there was more snow
than IN the vicinity OF Wilmington. The
county and state roads in the lower Sec
ton OF the State are blocked in some places
with drifts Of SNOW, but not TO any serious
extent.
The heavy rains Yesterday afternoon
flooded farm land between here and Della
ware more 50 than in years. The trolley
tracks between New Castle and Dobbins-
vile were flooded with water that rushed
from the nearby hills and made it difficult
for the trolley cars to pass over Several
roads between New Castle and Delaware
City had serious washouts caused by the
large volume of water that fell.
Fort du Pont and Delaware City were
in darkness last night, the electric lights
going out about o'clock
The fact that the wind was northwest
and not blowing northeast possibly saved
serious damage being caused along the
shore OF the Delaware river

For the first time in years the water
covered some sections of the road at the
