Declaring the Sherman Anti-Trust law should be modified to permit business in terests to co-operate and promote, not reatraln, trade. President Charles! H. Van Hlae of the Unlveraity of' Wisconsin was applauded long and loud at the opening aeealon of the National Lumber Manufactured convention here today. * The address was declared partic ularly appropriate at this time, when business men In all Unes of Amer | lean trade are trying, to bave the i new Federal Trade relations com mittee given authority to .paaa on co-operative contracts between busi ness concerns. Thoy want the line drawn . between advantageous co-op oration and blighting monopoly. President Van Rise, who went be fore f committee of congreaa recent ly and ,aak^ed. the amending , of the antl-trqpt law to perr^lt th^ ( lumber manufacturers to curtail production, under feder*} regulation, to a point which would fiiake It possible for them to profitably conserve their forest eupplles for future genera tions, eiplalned his views on - this pblnt. He declared that ander pres ent conditions it might be possible for an industry to waste lta entire future natural supply to meet a present demand. Mayor William H. Thompson op ened the convention. F. A. Long, of rfansas City, responded. The annual address of the president was then made by President R. H. Downman of New Orleans. At' the afternoon session Dr. Her man von 8chrenk of St. Louis read a paper on tests of fire-resistant paints, in which, he touched on the latest move of the nation's lumber men, to find means for making the nation's lumber building material | nop-lnflammable. . , . CASTOR OIL NOT CANNON TERROR TOTHESOLDIERS By JOHN H. HEARLEY, United Press 8 tuff Correspondent, Florence, Italy, May J. ? By Mail. ? Castor oil ? not the great cannon of the Aautrlans ? lb the terror of of the Italian army today. Even amid the tremendous business of battle Italy's brave warrior sons shring from this slckeningly melli fluous remedy, Mrs. Edith Southwell,' an English nurse In a local hospital! for the wounded, has discovered. | Nurse Southwell was told by the' attending physician to dose her pa tients with castor oil. Anticipating no difficulties, srie said: "Yes doctor, I will do so tonight at their *T>e<K t'me." \ ~ At the Sand Man hour she there fore appeared In her ward among her twenty-five crippled soldiers. In her hand3 she bore a tray, holding twenty-five individual portions of castor oil.. Aroused by the sight, the battle scarred heroes shouted, "What Is It?" "Why, castor oil!" Innocently re plied the nurse. "Oh!" came a chorus of disgusted voices, "No! No! No! No!" And It was "No." for the men In mild language and strong persisted inthelr refusals. Poor Nurse South well sat the tray and herself on the floor In the oenter of her rebellious company. What could she do? 8he pondered. Then came the inspira tion. She vanished for a moment, returning with the twenty-sixth glass of castor oil. "See here, boys," she cried, "yon dont* understand. This Isn't castor oil. This It an Austrian trench. Come, let's take It. 'VvantJ Savolad" The men took up the battle cry of the reigning house of Italy. "Avanti Savola! Avanti Savola!" they cheer ed. Meanwhile, Nurse 8outhwe11 heroically swallowed a dose of -the castor oil and every single man of them followsd her lead. They took the trench, but for an instant cele brated their victory with wry fa wis. But oven these changod when Nurse Southwell disappeared for an In stant and reappeared with twenty six golden orange*. "Theee are the medals of honor," she explained. "Upon each of you and upon myself I bestow one for conspicuous, bravery." AN TDRAL APRTNO LAXATTVK. A good and time tried remedy Is Dr. King's New Life Pills.

M?y *1. ? 4i * raanlt of.th* rrwt prosperity or th* coun-| try and the effective and rigorous] enforcement of the Internal reTenue > law? by Commissioner W. H. Osborn; Internal revenue receipts are l*>ur-| lac Into the treasury at a rata tar la excess of all forecasts. -The income from this source will reach the enormona total of $495,* 000,000 end probably 9B01.000.600 by June 30. "This gratifying estimate of re ceipts. which emphasises the great strength of the treasury in this ex traordinary period," said Secretary McAdoo, "Is made on the basis of a report Just received from Commis sioner Osborn of the bureau of in ternal revenue. The great boom in business Is "largely responilble for the Increased receipts from ordinary, internal reveoue. The prosperity of! the country, with the attendant wid er scope of employment and increase ' in wages, has. In Itself, resulted in a larger consumption of taxable ar ticles, greatly augmenting the gov ernment's revenue. "For the flrst 10 months, ended April 30, of the current fiscal year, receipts and collections on tobacco slone increased 35,605,121.89 over the corresponding period o'f a year sgo, which, In large part, is due to the great Improvement in business conditions. Commissioner Osborn points out that it has been the ex perience that collections on account of tobacco, especially cigars and cig arettes, are affected more by business conditions than the collections from any other source. 'Wcrtffrtthstaufding the spread of prohibition collections on distilled spirits for the first 10 months of the current fiscal year increased $10, 013,140.64 over the corresponding period of a year ago. This is due ta great measure to the effective en forcement of the Internal revenue taxes on distilled spirits. It is esti mated that through the campaign of this department and blockading In distilleries, the revenue of the gov ernment has been increased by prob ably $5,000,000 annually. "The only article of taxation showing a decrease is beer. Because of the relatively low tax on ferment ed liquors. and the difficulty of get ting untax paid beer on the market, the commissioner says that the loss in tax on beer on account of fraud has been negligible and that the de crease is due principally to the In crease In the prohibition laws. "It Is estimated that the expen ditures from the internal revenue appropriation for the current fiscal year will amount to $7,300,000; and even If the collections amount to only $495,000,00*0, the cost of col-' lection will be 1.46 per cent, thel lowest in the history of the internal revenue service. If the collections, amount to $500,000,000, trfe cost of j collection will approximate 1.44 per. cent. >In his report to the secretary, the commissioner says: The first ten months of this fiscal year, the ordinary receipts exclusive Of Income snd emergency taxes, were $13,639,127.03 in excess of collec tions for the corresponding period of the fiscal year 1915. Said amount was derived as follows: Increase In collections on spirits, *io,018, 140.64. Increase in collections on tobac-' co. $6,606,121.89, ? Increase In collections on mlscel-. lanequs, $173,321.08. Total, $16,691,684.61. POSTiSTEfiS SHOULD NOT BE IN piCS (By United Frees) v ( New York, May 81.~An appeal to two million American clubwomen to help take the postoffice department out of politics was made by the civil service reform leader, Richard Henry Dana of Boston, before today's see-' slon of the Federated Women's Clubs national convention here today. j Dana declared the political ap pointment system has made the United 6tatea postal service the poorest and most IneOclept in the world. The remedy Dana suggested was to put every postal service Job, from the four assistant postmaster generalships down to tie lowliest carrier Of a rural route, on a com* petltlve examination basis . under strict civil service rules. The speaker asserted that more than 90 per coot of all postmaster ships paring $1,900 a year or more are changed with evert national ad mlnlatr at ion ; and that appointees to Indigestion May Be Due to Constipation Kcskct oi Importaat FMIa Mm?

The compound of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's 8yrup Pepsin and sold la"drug stores for fifty cents a bottle. Is highly recom mended. Mr. BenJ. Bassia, 360 Mad ison St., Gary, Ind., thinks Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin a wonderful medicine; for four years he had a severe case of indigestion and consti pation before trying Dr. Caldwell's IHS.N'J. I1AK8IN Syrup Pepsin, which he is clad to rccommend to all who suffer with stomacu and bowel trouble. A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should be In every home for use when occasion arises.

Dana condemn ed "the vast majority of postoffloe appointee?" as being "either politi cians or brokendown failures In bus iness whom some politician deelrea to foist upon1 the United States for aupport and who almost never know or learn anything about the intric acies of the postal service." Dana declared the recent order that all postmasters devote all their time to the postofflce service will only "make their postofflces a political headquarters." He pointed out that we have had 15 postmaster generals in the last 30 years and suggested a long term appointment. lie sug gested the division of tho country into postal districts, with a division superintendent for each one. in praising the railway mall service. Dana said it was efficient only be cause it has been under civil service for years. In concluding, the speak er declared that, although our postal service is 60 years behind that of other countries, bills now in congress for its reform ac* Ignored because the people do not rise up and de mand that the reforms be put through. ALLIES CRUSE DUTCH WAR NOT GERMANY (By United Press) The Hague. May 2. ? (By Mail) ? I Despite the statements of certain I pro-English newspapers, It Is now ? known authoritatively that it was fear of the Allies, and not of Ger many, that prompted the Dutch gov ernment to take war-like measures a month ago. Certain reports reaching the Dutch government about steps taken by the Allies at the Paris economic conference caused grave concern here. The Minister of War Inform ed newspapermen that the govern ment was expecting an economic crisis of great Importance, though he refused to go further in his state ment. Evidently in anticipation of sharp measures by the Allies, the government chartered several steam ers and sent them to America for "wheat. Measures taken by the Brit-? ish government to enforce the block- 1 ade of Germany are steadily becom- | Ing more Irritating to the Dutch. | NOTICE OP BAIjK.
