SATURDAY EVENING,

Watch This Space for
Further Announcement.
Washington, D. C, April 11. As
suranees that the $7,000,000,000 war
revenue measure will pass the house
quickly and that consideration of new
taxation plans will begin immediately
were given President Wilson and Sec
retary MeAdoo today by congressional
leaders.
Introduction in the house of the
revenue bill authorizing a $r,000,000,
000 bond issue and a $2,000,000,000
certificate of indebtedness preceded an
unexpected visit of the president to
the capitol by a few minutes today.
Democratic Leader Kitchin introduced
the measure, with a favorable report
from the full committee and an
nounced that debate on it would be
gin Friday morning at 11 o'clock. It
s hoped to pass the bill before Sat
urday night, and possibly on Friday.
In evolving a new taxation plan for
raising revenue to meet the certifi
cates of indebtedness, however, much
trouble is expected in getting "repub
licans and democrats together. The
first big question is what amount of
revenue shall be raised by immediate
taxation. The generally accepted plan
has been to divide equally the cost of
the first year of the war, roughly esti
mated at from $3,750,000,000 to $4,-
000,000,000, between the bonds and
taxes, but the president has expressed
himself as desirous of placing as much
of the burden on the present genera
tion as possible, and some members of
congress are advocating the raising of
75 per cent of the first year needs by
taxation.
Administration and congressional
eaders generally are determined that
the tax shall not be of a class char
acter regardless of the amount. His
tory, they said, shall not designate
this as either a poor or a rich man's
war.
House financial authorities are con
sidering proposals to raise new rev
enue on increased income stamp tax
and taxes of excess profits, inherit
ances, distilled liquors and beers, ci
gars and tobacco, amusement places,
the postal service, soft drinks, and
newspaper, billboard and other advertising.
Probably the most far-reaching pro
posal yet suggested is that the postal
charges be raised. It has been pro
posed that the present 1-cent rate for
drop and circular letters be raised to
1V or 2 cents and the regular 2-cent
rate to 3 cents. No tax suggested, it
is argued in favor of this proposal,
would reach so many persons and be
objected to by so few.
In connection with this postal pirn
is another to tax newspapers and
periodicals in proportion to the amount
of advertising they carry.

See Genuine German Catastrophy in
Break By South American
Republics.
Geneva, April 11. The Journal de
Geneva commenting on the report
that several of the South American
republics will follow the lead of the
United States in breaking with Ger
many said:
The essential factor is in the pro
gressive expulsion of Germany from
all continents today. Even if the Brit
ish fleet did not exist, the Germans
would not have a port of call outside
Europe, except Siam. For an over
populated and over-productive counry
which lives by exportations and which
would die' if forced to fall back on it
self, the loss of South America com
ing after that of China is a genuine
catastrophy.
"It has often been said, "in war vic
tory alone counts,' but it is no longer
true. The future counts more. Ger
many is victorious in Europe, but shut
out of the rest of the world."

recommended. -$1.00 .at all stores.
Hardin, Mo. Mrs. J. W. Collier, of
this town, who knows from experience
of the merit of Black-Draught Liver
Medicine, has following to say for
publication: "I want to let everybody
know that I have used Thedford's
Black-Draught for manyyears, and it
is just what is claimed for it. I am
never without Black-Draught, and
really I couldn't keep house without it.
Whenever I feel bad, I take a small
dose, and feel better right away.
I advise everybody who suffers
from liver or stomach trouble to use
Black-Draught Liver Medicine."
For three-quarters of a century

the liver, stomach and bowels, and has
long been recognized as the standard
remedy. It is a fixture in thousands
of homes as the main stay of the fam

Don't Fall Into Despair!
The patient must not forget that
the hopeful mental attitude goes far
with the recovery from sickness. And

cient support against mental depres
sion. Mr. Joseph Smith, Rock Lake,

"Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
WTine is an excellent remedy. I got
rid of the constipation, anil my appe
tite, which has been very poor for
three years, is perfectly restored." If
you suffer from constipation, head
ache, nervousness, loss of appetite
and energy, take Triner's American
Elixir. Price $1.00, r.t drug stores.
Mr. Math. Miskovsky, Malabar, Fla.,
says in his letter, January 23, 11)17:
"A severe grippe left me with a bad
cough, but Triner's Cough Sedative
helped me to recover my health very
quickly." The price of this excellent
remedy for colds, bronchitis and
asthma, and of Triner's Liniment, an
