The activities on" the Prench ana Italian war fronts for the past week have been confined chiefly to heavy artillery duels. It has been aptly said that the chief business of 1918 is to win the war. The country hopes to see it successfully concluded in 1918. That it is expensive no one will say to the contrary. The pay of the aoldiers and. officers alone now amounts to more than u hundred million dollsra a month, and the cost will not decrease until the conflict is terminated. About One-fifth of the passenger trains are to be taken off or dis continued under government con trol of the railroads, in order that necessities may be moved to re lieve shortages of coal and provis ions. It has been stated that peo ple travel too much, which is no doubt literally true. Premier Lloyd George of (Jreat Britain last week and President Wilson this week have answereu the Teuton pence Both stated specifically tho objects and aims of the war in a way that Kaiser cannot misapprchenu. Whether their speeches will reach Qermany as made oy them is doubted, because It Is the German policy to inform the people as tit tle as possible of what is going on on the outside. Both the Premier's and Presi dent's declarations have been re ceived with the utmost approval by liberty-loving people every where. Upon tho recommendation of ttcncrai Pershing commissions have been issued to set Will American citizens who have seen service with the Lafayette Kscadrifle of the Prench army. Christmas mail this year was 2i percent heavier than ever befor according to the Postoffice De- Krtment. The congestion was is, however, because the pack ages were mailed earlier than in former years. Vigorous cumpafgns are on in several States to increase the use of wood for fuel in place of coal. In Virginia convict labor is em ployed to provide wood for fuel. All wooden Christmas boxen for soldiers of the expeditionary forces received too late for shipment will be returned to the senders If post age is mailed to the sin>erintendenl of the Railway Mail Service,"Ne* York, N. Y. The Department of Agriculture Is urging poultry raising to increase the foou supply. A bulletin, "Uack Yard Poultry Keeping", has :,een issued and ma.V '.«» secured without cost by application to the divis ion of publications, Department o,' Agriculture. The military service flag of the Lighthouse Service, Department of Commerce, contains 1 206 stars, one for each officer and employee of the Lighthouse Service Stow serv ing in the Military Porees of the United States. The Pederal 1 rade Commission has granted to three American firms licenses to manufacture .inn aell drugs which heretofore have been controlled by enemy aliens under American patents. War Demands Broaden Work in Chemistry, Says Secretary of tbe Interior. From tho aununl report of tho Secretary of the Interior: "In this department we have daring the past year had a glimpse of' the expanding roniauc- of chemical study. We have found adventure in the search for the hidden secrets of petroleum, natural gas, aud coal tar, of coal smoke, and the refuse from a hun dred furnaces and smokestacks. We appear „to have suddenly driven into a chemical age or |»er hape it would ho more accurate to jay that we have suddenly real ised that we are in Mich an age. 14W explosives, new fertilizers, new sources of |>ower, of food, new materials for construct ion «nd destruction, new prcserva tives of life, aud new ageucies for the sweetening and wholesoming of life—theee are to the credit of the modern chemist, and its a by product of this war we are to have a higher appreciation of this branch of science, and our genius for discovery which has so greatly been applied to problems of me chanics will find in analytic and synthetic chemistry a field of op portunity subject to almost in finite expansion." 1 -Germany's instructions to Lux burg were in substanee to tell to the Argentine government any kind of lie that he conld "pnt. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. 4 Collector Bailey Will Send Income Tax Officers to Alamance in Few Days. In a communication received by tbis paper, Collector of Internal Revenue J. W. Bailey announces that a federal income tax officer will be sent into this county, ready and willing to help persons sub ject to the income tax make out their returns without apy cost to them for his services. It will take a small army of men to take the income tax returns of persons subject to the new law. The Collector announces that 21 officers started from his head quarters on Januarjfelst and 2ud, 3 everyone of thetai on the job iu' the county assigned to him, to meet the people and help tliem make out their income tax re turns. The officer assigned to this county is due to arrive here on Jhu. 21, and to remain until Jan. 2ti, both dates inclusive. He will have his office in Oraham in the Court House, where he may be found every day of the dates stated. lie will also be at Bur lington Jan. 14-19, Mebaue, Jan. 28 to Feb. 2. It will be well for every unmar ried person whose net income for 1917 issl,ooo.oo or over, and every married person living with wife or husband whose net, income for 1017 is $2,000.00 or over, to call on the income tax man and learn whether or not they have any tax to pay. The person subject to tax who doesn't make return iu the time prescribed is going to re gret it. Tho Government will get after ail iucpuio tax slackers. There's hardly a business man, merchant or professional man who won't have to make return of in come. Farmers, as a class, will hijve to pay the tax. The safe thing to do is for evory person who had a total * income of sl,- (JOO.O) or 1-2,000 00, as the case limy oe, and who is uot sure about what deductions the law allows him, to play it safe by calling on the income tax man. The man in the field will have forms for everybody and persons who expect to call on him noed not trouble themselves to write to the Collector's offi.ci' for forms. How many income tax payers will there lie in this county? If you can guess how many married persons living with wirt» or hus band will have net incomes of #2,000 00 or over and how inAiiy unmarried persons will have net incomes of sl,ooovoo or over this year, then you know. The Col lector of Internal .Revenue esti mated that there will be a large number of tax-payers in this county. Returns of net income for the year 1917 must lie made on forms provided tor the purpose before March 1, 1918. Because a good many people don't understand the law and won't know how to make out tlieit returns, tho Government ia sending in this expert to do it for them. But the duty is on the tax-payor to make himself kuown to the Government. If ho doesn't make return as required before March Ist he may have to pay a penalty ranging from S2O.(K) to 1,000.00, pay a fino or go to jail. So if you don't want to take chances on going to jail, you bet ter call on the income tax man. If you aro not sure about being subject to the tax, belter ask him aud make sure. Whether you see the income Ux man or not, you must make return if subject to tax. Of course, persons resident in other counties may, if they want to, couie aud see the income lux man who will bo at the place dur ing the tiuie mentioned above. The Collector suggests that everybody start figuring up now hid income and expense* so KM to tie ready with the tigiiren when the expert arrives. Expense#, however, don't mean family ex penses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new ma chinery, buildings or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your mouoy— interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (ex cept foJ dwelling), etc. Income inctudsaboutever,\ dollar you get.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS DRAFT ACT 18 CONSTITUTIONAL Authority of Congress to Declare War and Provide Armies Is Power to Draft Men. Washington.—Every contention rais ed against the selective draft act was ■wept aside by the supreme court In an unanimous opinion delivered by > Chief Justice White, upholding the law as constitutional. Authority to enact the statute and to send forces to flgbt the enemy wherever he may be found, j the court held, lies In the clauses of | the constitution giving Congress tho power to declare war and to raise and support armies. "As the mind cannot conceive an army without the men to compose It," nald the chief Justice, "on the face of the constitution the objection that It does not give power to provide for such men would seem to be too frivol ous for further notlc?." The opinion then proceeded to take up and definitely dispose of each of the many questions raised by counsel for the convicted persons whose ap peals brought the law before the «pnrt. No action was taken by the court in the several pending cases Involving charges of conspiracy to prevent the carrying out the purposes of the law. It la understood that these cases, which Include the appeal of Alexander Derkman, Emma Goldman. Louis Kra mer and Morris Becker, convicted In New Tork, later may be made the subject of a separate opinion.

WAR TALKS By UNOLE DAN Number Sin , •• Mill* and Jimmls Will Take Military Training. ! "I am mighty sorry. Uncle Dan, that this Is your laat night with as. Can't you stay longer?

"Billie, I have been talking seriously with yonr father and mother about sending you to a military academy and they asked me to talk with yon about It" "Whoopee 1" Billie screamed, like a wild Indian. "Now, hold your horsea," sold Uncle Dan, "and listen to me. Ton know I sent my boj, Howard, to one of these schools for a year when he waa about yonr age.

TAR HEEL PARSER SATS IT QUICKLY HELPED HIS WIFE. - She'd Twist and Torn All Through the Night Bat Now She Sleeps Like • Baby. Tells What Did It The burdens of life are not equally borne by men and women. Women too often suffer from some weakness that WHS never in tended for them by nature. When trouble or hard work or excitement have rendered the nerves so wide-awake that sleep is denied, .the ever-tired brain must be helped to get qnickly back to its healthy normal con dition or serions mischief ensues. Dreco, the wonderful herbal medicine, aims to accomplish this ns nothing else ever has done. Its mission is to bring the disabled, debilitated nervous tissues the pecul : ar nerve food which they must have to build up their parts. "My wife suffered terribly from pains in the back and limbs, con stipation, headaches, and, worst of all, sleeplessness," declared the well known Tar Heel fartner, N. D. Gourley, R. F. D. No. a, Win ston-Salem. "She would fall asleep early in the night but would wake up soon and would lay and hear the clock strike every hour until morning. She would twist and turn all pight and was always more tired in the morning than when she went to bed. "A friend told us of Dreco and how it had helped just such a case as this and so we decided to give it a trial. We're mighty glad we did that now because it certainly gave us splendid results. My wife sleeps like a baby now, all night long. Her pains ar® tone and she now has a good appetite, the first time for years. I want three more bottles of Dreco now, so we both can take it as I believe it will make me feel 20 years younger." Dreco is known throughout the Tar Heel State as the one herbal medicine that accomplishes re sults in cases of severe stomach trouble, constipation, rheumatism and similar ills.
