WAR TAX WILL
RAISE HUGE SUM
"Hard and Soft" Drinkers All

Coffers
Washington, May 8. Mounting
the waterwagon will not free you
from war tax. The decision of the
framers of the new revenue bill to
hit old Demon Rum by boosting the
tax on whisky 90 a gallon and that
on beer $1 a barrel was expected to
start a wild scramble for the aqua
pura cart, but yesterday it was
learned that the rumbling old vehicle
is not to escape tax free.
Even the drink that W. J. Bryan
popularized is to bear its share of the
expense of the war. All carbonated
waters, ginger ale and other non
; Lemons Beautify! !
: Make Quarter Pint f
of Lotion, Cheap §
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to bleach the skin
and to bring out the roses, the fresh
ness and the hidden beauty? But
lemon juice alone is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice of two
fresh lomons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and com
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar of ordin
ary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tle cost and the grocer has the lem
ons.

Druggist Tells How
To Stop Indigestion
llecommeiid* (o Monuieh Sufferer* n
Real Itemed}'
"It is a wonder some of us have
stomachs left," remarked a veil
known drug clerk recently. While
all drug stores sell a score or more
of stomach remedies for which there
is a wide demand, many of them are
just pepsin pills which aid or arti
ttcially force digestion of the food that
is in the stomach at the present time,
t hey have no curative strength at all,
and of course do not reach or cure
.lie cause. So the same people keep
on coming here and buying and using
them until they are real chronic dys
peptics. When anyone really asks my
advice, I swear by and recommend
ordinary bisurated magnesia, which
doesn't digest the food at all but acts
as an antacid and astringent and
sweetens the sour, highly acid con
tents of the stomach. That stops the
pain, heartburn, sour rising, gas,
bloating, fullness, etc., of acid dys
pepsia in just a few minutes, and the
stomach digests its food without help
or trouble, which is the proper way.
"Of course there are many kinds of
magnesia but people who have stom
ach trouble should insist on getting
it in the form of Bisurated Magnesia.
This comes in powdered form and in
tablets —never as liquid or milk." A
lot of bisurated magnesia is sold in
Harrisburg. All druggists have it
and a teaspoonful in a little water
after every meal will quickly relieve
almost any case of acid indigestion.
Geo. A. Gorgas can supply you.—Ad
vertisement.

Commissioner Jackson then review
ed pending legislation affecting the
Department of Labor and Industry,
and the workers of the state. He
vigorously endorsed the bil Intro
duced in the Senate last night by
Senator Sproul, to create conditions
which would alleviate the hardship
and want resulting from unemploy
ment in any future time of industrial
depression. He asserted that this bill
would make possible great construct
ive projects at state expense during
times of industrial depression, and in
the construction of highways,
bridges, state buildings and improve
ments of waterways, would afford em
ployment to thousands of workers in
al section of Pennsylvania.
He urged attention to the pending
compensation bills, vocational disease
bills, and the bill which would estab
lish divisions of building inspection
with local community supervision in
state co-operation with the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry. He out
lined the need of more mediators.
Health Conservation Vital
Conservation of the health of wom
en and children in employment, lie
declared to be a vital factor at the
present ime and quoted the National
Council of Defense in his argument
that there should not be immediately
any let-down in the laws protecting
women and children in industries. He
called attention to the fact that ap
propriations to the Department of
bor and Industry are now being con
sidered and that It is vital that the
appropriation to the Department of
I>abor and Industry be maintained for
the benefit of industry and the work
ers throughout the state. He review
ed the work done by the department
during the last year, and paid a trib
ute to President Maurer, and the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor for
its co-operative aid of the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry.
Mrs. Samuel Semple, a member of
the State Industrial Board, spoke of
the necessity of maintaining the pres
ent laws affecting women during the
crisis. She urged upon the men pres
ent to do everything possible that
laws might be maintained whereby
the future mothers of the race might
not be physically affected and cast
off as worthless product of the great
industrial machine when it had no
further use for them.
She reminded them of the fact that
at the present time one-fifth of the
workers in Pennsylvania were women
and unless this greWt body of women
were protected in health and morals
the nation must continue to pay the
penalty as long as the nation exists.
Peter Sunnengcheln reviewed the
history of the oMoney case in San
Francisco, and endeavored to show
the innocence of those whom he de
clared had been "railroaded."
It lips Food Speculator*
After tlie regular routine business,
James H. Maurer, president of the
Federation, launched into an expla
nation of the high cost of living, rap
ping especially the food speculators
who are now endeavoring to profit by
the misfortunes of others and at this
very moment he said are cornering
the supply of coal and the very es
sentials of life.
He declared the factors responsible
for the high cost of living were three
fold and enumerated them as follows:
First: Falling off of Imports.
Second: Increased European ex
port*.
Third: Speculation in our food sup
plies by a horde of native parasites.
The European War made the fall
ing off of Imports unavoidable, but
exporting our food could have been
avoided, ha dCongress seen fit to do
so. Speculation In food, should be
abolished by the govertiment taking
possession of our food supplies until
normal conditions again prevail.

He attacked especially the present
move to suspend labor laws that wom

REVENUE BILL
PASSES IN STYLE
Direct Inheritance Tax Meas
ure Goes Through House
Without Dissent
The first of the big revenue raising
bills to go through, passed the
House at last night's session. It
was the Woodward bill, which is
designed to raise $5,000,000 an
nually by a 2 per cent, tax on direct
inheritances. The bill is favored by
legislative leaders and it is predict
ed that it will pass the Senate.
The Catlin Senate bill to create
a state commission to license and
supervise boxing and Wrestling con
tests, was passed 126 to 28. The
bill calls for a state commission of
three to be named by the governor
to issue state licenses. A live per
cent, tax on gross receipts is also
provided. The bills would limit
gloves to six ounces and bouts to
ten rounds.
The bill goes to the Senate for
concurrence in amendments.
Cat Bill Beaten
For several minutes after the
Sioft'let bill to empower cities and
boroughs to license cats was called
uj: the House was filled with cat
calls, "meows" and "yowls." When
a bill dealing with dogs comes up
it is a tradition of the House that
some members should bark. This
was the first occasion on which a cat
bill ever got to a vote and the chorus
of "mewing" lasted through the roll
call. The bill was defeated.
The Senate bill establishing teach
ers' pensions, was sent to the appro
priations committee, this action
being taken after a conference of
those interested so that the appro
priations committee might have a
chance to pass on the amount of
money required to inaugurate the
system. It is expected that it will
be reported out again shortly and
passed.
Representative Powell, Luzerne,
introduced, by unanimous consent, a
bill to make it a misdemeanor to
steal or destroy any seed or plants
from gardens or farms. The penalty
io fixed at a fine of SIOO or im
prisonment for not over a year. Mr.
Powell said that the bill was aimed
to punish persons who have been
tearing up gardens. The bill was
passed for the first time.
Bills were introduced by Mr.
Stern, Philadelphia, under suspens
ion of rules to enable the city of
Philadelphia to accept the art col
lection of the late John G. Johnson,
valued at millions, and granting
consent of the state to the pur
chase by the United States govern
ment of land on Tinicum island in
the Delaware, which is owned by
the city of Philadelphia. The island
is located in Tinicum township, Dei
aware county.
At the suggestion of Mr. Reitzel,
Lancaster, the resolution, favoring
sending Col. Roosevelt's division to
France, was sent to the militarv
committee. Mr. Reitzel. who is a
National Guard officer, said there
might be some military matters
therein which would interfere with
the National government's plans.
The resolution was presented last
week by Mr. McVicar, Allegheny.
The House adopted without a dis
senting vote a resolution presented
by Mr. Wells, Philadelphia, directing
the secretary of the Commonwealth,
to bring to the attention of Arthur
J. Kalfour the desire of the people
of Pennsylvania for a prompt set
tlement of the Irish question and to
urge htni to use his influence with
the British government to secure

In speaking of the present war he
rapped the men who grow rich while
others were at the front defending
the honor of the nation. He said, in
part:
"In past wars a few have prfited
enormously, while the millions of toil
ers, who fought, were impoverished.
This must be a pay-as-you-go war
and future generations must not be
taxed for it. In tills country we have
208,658 persons receiving a gross in
come of about $4,400,000,000 a year.
These 208,658 persons, alone, could
easily pay the government two and
one-half billions of dollars a year for
war expenses and still have ten thou
sand dollars a year left for each one
on live upon. If these people are
all they pretend to be, real patriots,
they will volunteer and place their
incomes at the disposal of the gov
ernment. If they are not real pa
triots, then legislation should be
promptly enacted to make them such.
No real patriot will make a dollar's
profit out of war."
Mr. Maurer also spoke in support
