BROMO-ASPIRIN An
 IMPROVED Aspirin
The Kind That Does Not De- press the Heart Action But Gives Immediate Relief.

Bromo-Aspirin is in demand because it has all the good qualities of the ordi- nary aspirin and yet contains no quin- inc. That's why you can take it with out fear of its interfering with the heart action.
 There is no aspirin like it. It is the kind that does not depress the heart.
 Bromo-Aspirin gives immediate re- lief from colds, headache, backache, fever, grippe and neuralgia. For sale at all good drug stores-in flat boxes containing fifteen tablets for 25c. Keep a package on hand.-Adv.

REVENUE BUREAU IS INEFFICIENT, CLAIMS COUDNS
'Looseness' Of Department Costs Government Mill
 lions, He Says
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Chair. man Couzens, of the special senate com mittee investigating the internal revenue bureau, declared in a statement today that the committee had found much looseness in the execution of the work" of the bureau, resulting in the apparent loss of millions of dollars of revenue to the government"
 "In some of these cases," the chair man declared, "the department officials have admitted errors, and while the committee charges no dishonesty, it finds much looseness in the execution of the work"
 Review Is Ordered
 Noting that a review had been or dered of one case, involving an alleged over-allowance of $600,000 in taxes to one company. Senator Couzens said special investigators were now working on other cases which will be taken up this week by the committee. He in vited the public to send in suggestions for simplifying the procedure of the bureau as well as to the statutes.
 "This lack of uniformity" Senator Couzens declared, worked great in justice to some tax payers and excessive
  | justice arose, not because the evidence showed that many tax payers paid taxes they should not pay, but rather that tax payers were relieved who should not have been relieved.
 "F0r example, large concern on the Pacific was allowed claim by
 the United States Shipping Board involving $SO0,O0O and the same .I.s~ ovI kxy <hA svStn revenue bureau, thus losing to the
 government some $6OO,OOO in taxes. It developed 8 clear case of lack of
 proper working arrangements be- tween the two departments, the re-
 sponsibiIity for which was upon the internal revenue bureau.
 "The committee has been assured that an effort will be made to collect this $600,000 and if it is collected, as the committee believes it should, fully ten times the cost of the committees work will have been collected in one case.
 Cites Other Cases
 "The committee found other cases where claims were allowed for amorti- za tion on plants and equipment pur- chased before our country entered the World war and yet it was clearly pro- vided by statute that only amortization was to be allowed on war plants and war equipment, which were purchased after we entered the war.
 "The committee also found that
 tax payers received advantages
 over other taxpayers because of the
 methods used in keeping their
 books. The cases that the com
 mittee has examined in this con-
 nection, represents 8 loss to the
 government, if the committees ins
 depreciation is correct, of many
 millions of dollars of revenue to the
 government.
 'The committee has come across cases of what looks like what is termed in Wall street as washed sales for the purpose of tax evasion, and it appears that the bureau has not given sufficient consideration to these attempts to evade taxes. Tax payers have made excessive claims for amortization alleging that they purchased excess facilities for war purposes. Laxity in fixing the extent of the use of these plants subsequent to the war has developed in our hear ings."

MADRID, Dec. 15.-The military di- rectorate has given out a copy of let ter received from the permanent com mittee and council of the Grandees of Spain, protesting against the recent pamphlet published in Paris by Vicente Blasco lbanez, denouncing King Al fonso. The letter concludes:
 'The committee complies with it's duty in setting forth it's feelings and thoughts about this pamphlet. The committee cannot explain this unfor- tunate temporary insanity of Span iard who does not merit his citizenship. From acts such as his recent people always turn with repugnance."

BUILDING BOOM BOOMING.

The building boom goes right
on. Though construction has
slackened in some cities and sec.
tions, the country as a whole
continues to build in more than
normal volume. Building per.
mits issued in 32S cities and
towns during the first six months
of this year amounted to nearly
000,O00,000, representing a
gain Of s per cent over the cor.
responding period last year.
The permits for June were 10
per cent higher than for the
same month of 1923.
Generally speaking, the small.
er communities have caught up
with their building first. The
greatest activity now is in the
larger cities. There is talk in
many cities of an impending
slackness, but few actual signs
of it, Building materials have
dropped little, but labor costs
as much as ever, and in some,
places more.
Thousands of builders and
home owners would give a good
deal to know how long this
situation is going to last. Sure.
ly the building deficit for the
country as whole must be made
up before long. at the present
rate. Yet it may be that the old
standards of housing office quart
ers, factory facilities, ETC., have
changed so much that it is going
to take a great deal more build
ing Of all kinds to satisfy the
normal demand henceforth.
If this is the case, there can
be no earthly prospect of lower
building costs, lower rent and
lower prices for completed struc
lures. There may be temporary
slumps-as there are this sum.
mer in some places but many
keen building men and real
estate men say they cannot fore,
see much change in the situation
for years yet.-Arizona Builder
