INCOME TAX WORK COSTLY
Cost $3.50 for Each 500 Paid
70 Government.

To handle efficiently the collection
of income taxes among one hundred
million people is a problem that can
not be worked u overnight, but now
after nine years a comparatively
smnothl unning, well-organized ma
chine has been developed.
The internal revenue bureau in
Washington annually receives one and
a quarter million income tax returns.
This figure does not include the re-
turns filed by those whose incomes are
less than 5000. To audit and carry
on the work of this department of the
bureau, 1875 persons were employed
in Washington during the last fiscal
year.
The cost Of administering the inter-
nal revenue laws was $41,577,374.49.
Total receipts were So, f97, 451,O83.
Computing on this basis the cost Of
collection was $50 for each 800 col
lected, compared with 81 cents for the
preceding year. The difference in rel
alive cost of collection is due mainly
to the large reduction in revenues, the
repeal Of some of the war profits
taxes, and the increase in individual
exemption.-Saturday Evening Post.

A novel illuminated gauntlet glove,

The Young Philosopher.

A young philosopher was employed
in n of the stores at a salary of
$3.50 per week. He told his employer
one morning that he was going to
leave, having found a better place.
"A better placer" echoed his en-
ployer. What wages are you to getY'
six dollars a week"
"But that is not as much as you get
here
mo" said the boy, but then it's
better to do less and get so much
than to do more and not get enough"

The drug clerk was Just about

The last policeman to rub his
nose against the plate glass win
dow, was far down the venue
when the clerk switched off the
electric lights and turned the lock.
Then it all happened.
"A man rushed up to the door.
"Say, man, / want a box of
Beecham's Pills. Simply must

Stores closed for the day." re-
marked the clerk ashe pocketedthe
key. Like thunder it isl" shouted
the late conner, "I've got to have

The alteration grew heated.
There was an exchange of blows.
Then the clerk took off his
broken glasses, unlocked the door
and handed out a so cent box of
Beecham's Pills.

Fashion in Clocks.

Not so long ago the bride vas apt to
receive ten or twelve clocks among her
wedding presents. These were of the
large kind adapted to the "parlor'
mantel. People needed clocks more in
those days than they do now in this
day of wrist watches, yet clocks are
stilf needed, but most of them are
small and practically noiseless. Such
clocks fill a real need on the dressing
table, or a desk. The simpler ones
are always in demand in the kitchen.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women nave kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.

great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

But that is not the way to help

are invaluable training. In fact, the

ASYLUM MATTERS

At an adjourned meeting OF the
Asylum Board held last Thursday
and Friday, Very little was done
aside from routine matters.
David Burrel, the commissioner
of Public Welfare, is member and
Edward Thoresen is chairman,
and Eugene Wright of Idaho Falls
are the new members. Our infor-
nation is that for the past two or
three years the board meetings have
been irregular and not always attend
ed by the full membership.
The board manages the institu-
ton thru the medical superintendent
and he is employed by them. DR..
G. A. Hoover has been the medical
superintendent for several years,
and it seems that the new members
rather expected that there would be
some information and some recon-
mendations laid before them, from
the Governor or from the Commits
sioner of Public Welfare, but there
was nothing. The tenure of Office
of the superintendent seemed vague
and underlined, and If there were ap-
plicants for the position the appli-
cations were not laid before the
board. There was nd declaration of
any intention to make change, yet
there was an inquiry to know who
is going to I'LL that position, and
nobody seemed able to answer the
question. At this the beginning of

GIVEN AT ORPHEUM

The Blackfoot High School SEN
ior play, Green Stockings" will be
given Thursday and Friday, May 8
and 4, at the Orpheum Theatre.
The students have been working
seven weeks on this play and it will
undoubtedly be the best Senior play
ever given in Blackfoot. Green
Stockings" is a three-act comedy that
has won much favorable comment
in the last three or four years and
has become favorite with the peo-
pie. 1t is not a farce but II you see
1t and do not laugh you are not hu-
man. All the Senior class members
are selling tickets and are doing
their best to make the play q sue
cess.
The students included in the cast
are Grace Stultz, Gertrude Owen,
Grace Miltenberger, Gerald Stewart,
Ellis Chaplin, Frank, Halverson,
Nancy Reese, Francis Merchant, Fer
ris Johnson, Glen Hammond, Harry
Martin and Harold Hickenlooper.
The play is being coached by Mrs.
D. P. Brill who has done some splen-
did work in adapting the students
to their parts in order to put on
a play that will not appear amateur
ish.
