Rheumatism at SO
S. S. s. Thoroughly Rids the Body OF
Rheumatism Impurities.

Somebody's mother is suffering to-
nightI The scourge of rheumatism
has wrecked her body; limping ana
suffering, bent forward, she. sees bu:
the common ground, but her aged
heart still belongs to the stars! Does
anybody care? s. S. S. is one of the
greatest blood-purifieTs known, and it
helps build mora blood cells. Its med
icinal ingredients are purely vegeta-
BILE. 1t never disarranges the stomach.
1t is, in fact, splendid tonic, blood
maker, a blood enricher. 1t banisnes
rheumatism from joints, muscles and
the entire body. 1t builds firm flesh.
1t is what somebody's mother needs
tonight! Mother, if YOU can not 60
out to get a bottle of S. S. s. yourself,
surely Somebody in your family will.
Somebody, get bottle of s. S. S. nowI
Let somebody's mother begin to feel
joyful again tonight. Maybe, maybe
it's your mother! S. s. S. is sold at
all drug stores, in two sizes. The
larger size is the more economical.

its tax OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. z5Sb,0oe, co. ~
The number Of corporations max
ing income tax returns showing tax
able income, aggregated 52,49S in the
calendar year 1909, and that number
Increased to 232,079 for the calendar
year 1917 The number Of individuals
making personal income tax returns
aggregated 357,598 for the calendar
year 1913, and that number increased
to 3, 472, 800 for the calendar year 1917.
For the fiscal year 1909 the total
ordinary receipts aggregated 1908, $780,
1884, Of which $500, 1885 came
from customs duties, $246, 212, 643.59
came from internal revenue, and the
balance was received from the sale of
public lands and other miscellaneous
items; whereas, for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1919, the total re-
ceipts from customs amounted to $1S4,-
57,867.39, while the internal revenue,
including income taxes and corpora
ton and excess profits taxes, amounted
to $3.50, 95O,612.O5.
So you will see that until 1910 the
money you paid toward the support
Of the government was slipped away
from you so easily that you hardly
knew anything about it. You did not
know that you were paying taxes to
the national government.
Indirect taxation is the most Sc
ductive form of raising public rev.
enue. You never came in contact with
the federal government except when you
bought postage stamp. But now you
know it every time you buy drink at
a soda fountain, or a bottle of medi-
cine, or sand a telegram, or make a
long-distance telephone call, or per-
form any one Of a score Of other nor
NAL activities of daily life. Some
thing must be put in the kitty for the
government. It's annual rakeOff runs
into the billions. You pay it and the
government spends it.
But all that part Of the party is
about over now. The oysters have
been eaten and put in the bill. They
must be paid for. It is perfectly clear
that in the future by far the greater
part 9f the revenue required for con-
Quoting the public business must come
from direct taxes. 1t is also clear
that the ordinary expenses for run
ming the government will in future
probably exceed four billion dollars a
year. That is lot of money to take
out of your pockets, and mine. Hadn't
we better see what is done with it, and
whether we can save any of it? Con
gress, which is very far-sighted, and
able, when its own skin is concerned,
to distinguish a hawk from a hand
saw at a very great distance, is be-
ginning to take notice.
