Meet the new King Tut.

Meet the new King Tut.
His name is "Too-Much- ola lTank-of
a-Man."
That I learned in the 1923 Minstrel
Revue of the Shriners at the Murat
last night.
King Tut, according to the Shriners'
idea, was the original tank. Being
tank, old King Tut was fond of travel.
He was accompanied by a bunch of
slaves and dancing girls.
The Shriners have done little tomb
exploring themselves, and have IN
earthed a very interesting tank.
The new Shrtners' Revue, which
was revealed at the Murat last night
for the first of four performances, is
the last word in Egyptian discovery.
The story is the last minstrel idea.
The Shriners start out on a trip in
Egypt They crave excitment and the
only thing they want to see is King
Tut The method used In obtaining
King Tut furnishes the backbone OF
the story of the revue.
The Shriners have worked out a
splendid plan in presenting their tai
ent. They know that il is nc. wise to
keep an audience in the theater all
night Their curtain goes up about
$50 and the final curtain goes down
about 10 p. m. Then those attending
are invited to a dance in the new ball
room.
The revue is in numerous scenes. AS
the central idea is to tell the story OF
adventure in Egypt. the method used
is to use numerous soloists who fit
right into the story.
Among the many fitting into the
story were G. Carlton Guy in a splen-
did rube Characterization; George
Kadel in song and blackface; John w.
Applin, Louis c. Heinrich. Otto
krause and many others.
The dancing girls" include Clifton
Ferguson. Karl Matthews. Charles X.
Smith, Don A Morrison. L. A. Straw
nyer. e. Z. Stout, c. Merle Brockway
and r F. Siebert. George W. Lipps

BLANKS FOR TAXES
NO DELAY NECESSARY FIJI
ING THE RETURNS
Forms on Which To Write the In
come Assessments Will Be
Available r..t

Assured by the bureau OF internal
revenue OF prompt service in fur
nishing the necessary forms, tax
payers need experience no delay In
the filing Of their income tax re-
turns for the year 1928. The filing
period is from January 1 to March
Is, 1924. On Janury 2--the first
being holiday--forms for fling in
dividual corporation, partnership,
personal service corporation, intor-
nation, fiduciary, and other returns
required by the revenue act viii be
available at the office Of Collector
Of Internal Revenue st. Paul and
the following branch Offices: Min
neapolis, Duluth, st Cloud, Winona
and Mankato. After January z, q
copy of the form desired may be OBJ
tanned on written request. -.
Form 1040A, heretofore used for
fling returns Of individual net in
come OF $4,000 and less, from what
ever source derived, has been re-
vised and simplified In the interests
Of the largest class OF taxpayers,
salaried persons and wage earners.
The new form will be used for re.
porting net income for the year 1923
OF $4,000 and less derived chiefly
from salaries and wages. Reducing
to q minimum the problem Of cor
reetly making out an income tax re-
turn, Form 1040A consists OF a sin :
gle sheet in which space is provided
for answers to only three questions
in relation to income: salaries, wages
commissions, etc; interest on bank
deposits, notes, mortgages, and cor
On the reverse side are instructions.
Formerly Form 1040A has consisted
OF six pages the questions pertain
ing not only to salaries and wages,
but to income from business, pro.
LESSONS sales Of real estate, and
other sources. It is estimated that
for the year 1928 more than 4,00O,-
600 persons. or 70 per cent OF those
who annually are required to f1le
income tax returns, will use the new
form.
Persons, any part Of whose in
come for the year 1928 was derived
from business or profession, farm
ing, sale Of property for rents, re-
eardless OF the amount, will be re-
uuired to use the larger form, 1040.
The use Of Form 104O will be re-
quested, also, in cases where the
net income was In excess OF $4,000
whether from salary. business, pro-
fession or other taxable sources.
Formerly Form 1040 was used only
for reporting individual net income
of more than $4,000.
Forms for fling individual returns
of income will be sent to persons
year 1922. It being impossible to
determine this year the form desired
by the taxpayer whether he be q
man whose income was derived
chiefly from salary or wages or from
business, profession, or other tax
able sources the taxpayer will re-
ceive both forms, and is advised to
note carefully the instructions re-
garding their use.

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS iNFEc
TlnN

A study of the obscure parts OF
the body in which bovine tuberculo-
sis is found shows that no impor-
tant organ or portion of the body
is likely to resist the infection. The
skin, bones, eye, heart, udder. and
other regions were the disease Is
seldom looked for may be the seat
OF tuberculous infection.
According to the records of the
bureau OF animal industry. LESSONS
Of the disease have been found in
fifty seven different Darts Of bovine
apimals So called obscure LESSONS
have been responsible in some cases
for livestock owners to doubt that
cattle which reacted to a tuberculin
test were actually diseased. The
increasing knowledge OF tuberculo-
sis and Its eradication, however,
according to department of agricul-
ture veterinarians shows that the
disease is practically always present
when an animal reacts to the tuber-
culin test. But 1t is difficult In some
cases to find the physical signs, ow-
ing to the large masses Of flesh and
tissue and must be examined to find
the proof, More frequently the dis
ease is plainly evident on the inside
of the body wall. on the liver, in
the lungs or tissues that are visible
at the time OF slaughter.

HELPINGIITT[E GIRL
AGNES KRUGER SOON TO
ENTER HOSPITAL
Daughter Garden City Couple Al
most Helpless From Paraly-
els Arms and Limbs

Through the efforts and consid-
GRAFTON Of the members Of the Man
kato Shrine club, Agnes Kruger,
the little helpless daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Kruger Of Garden
City this county, will soon be ad-
mitted to and receive expert sur
gical and medical treatment at the
Shriners hospital for Crippled
Children at Minneapolis, one of q
chain of similar institutions locat-
ed in different sections of the Unit
ed States, built and operated by this
great fraternal order, the members
of which are bearing the entire ex-
penses of the same in order that
little unfortunates may receive, this
treatment, free of any expense to
them, who might otherwise be de-
MED the proper rare given with the
hopes Of making them useful men
and women In their after years.
This case came under the obser-
vance and Investigation of the local
Shriners, and the application for the
little girls admission to the hospi-
tai was made out in proper form,
and bearing the signature Of DR..
]. z. Arnold the attending physi-
clan and President Henry Stein Of
the Shrine Club was forwarded to
the proper authorities at the hos
pital, who after inspection and con-
sideration of the case, have accept
ed the application, and as soon as
the opportunity presents itself and
the modiations can be provi-
ded, little Aghes will be taken to
the home for the treatment she is
so much in need of. This will make
the second case from this To-
cality to be admitted to the hospi-
tai.
This little unfortunate, Agnes
Kruger, is ten and one-half years
old and is suffering from Flaccid
paralysis Of both arms and legs fol-
lowing an attack Of acute anterior
Of infantile paralysis, and Is almost
helpless. Recently the child was
brought to Immanual Hospital In
Physician DR.. A. V. Denman where
she received care and treatment.
The parents are unable to provide
the proper attention for their little
daughter so the case was taken up
by the Shriners with the above re-
suit, and all hope that she may be
speedily placed in the home and re-
ceive the benefit Of skilled treat
ment and attention that will re-
store her usefulness in future lie.
This is only one Of the many In
stances Of the great charitable work
being carried on by the Shriners
and about which so little is known
by the outside public. While the fez-
wearers are a jolly bunch of fellows
have and plan many good times, yet
their thoughts and endeayors are
not alone for their own pleasures,
and in need. ..

Washington, d. c., December "A
The prohibition party plans to
take no chances about finding a
ticket it can support in the 1924
campaign among those to be chosen
by the other political organizations,
but will nominate candidates Of its
own before the republican and dem
ocratic national conventions have
an opportunity to name their stand
ard bearers. =
Decision to put a ticket into the
field was reached here last night by
the national committee Of the par
ty, which selected Columbus, OhiQ,
as the convention city and instruct
ed its executive committee to fix a
date prior to June 10. ..
Former Representative Charles II.
Randall of California, who was the
party's first successful congressional
candidate, told the committee that
an independent party with q plat.
form likely to appeal to the pro-
hibition party was sure to be form
ed. It will be headed, he predicted,
by Senator LaFollette OF Wisconsin
