SENATE CHANGES
HOUSE MEASURE
Many Alterations in Tax
Revision Bill Agreed
to By Committee.
"Washington, Sept. 14. The tax revi
sion bill to be presented to the Senate
one week from today will differ in
many essentials from the measure pass,
ed by the House last month. The most
Important changes made thus far by
the Senate finance committee are an ad
ditional 2 1-2 per cent increase in the
corporation tax, effective next ycir,
and repeal of the capital stock tax,
beginning with the levy due next July
1.
Other alterations agreed upon or re
garded as practically certain include re
tention of the transportation taxes im
express packages and oil by pipe lines
and the removal of the exemptions on
the first $500 of income from invest
ments in building and loan associations
and contributions by corporations for
charitable purposes.
STATEMENT FROM MELLON'.
What changes, if any, are to be
made in the House provisions repeal
ing the transportation tax on freignt
and passengers, and reducing or
changing the levies on candy, cos
metics, perfumery, proprietary med
icines, cereal beverages, soft drinks, o
called luxuries, sporting goods and t'u
articles, will depend upon a final de
cision by the committee as to the
amunt of the savings the various x
ecutive departments can effect tlvs
year.
Senators are not convinced that all
of the $350,000,000 cut in departmental
outgo promised at the AVhite House
conference last month can be real It -d.
In order to satisfy themselves, they
have had Secretary llellon prepare a
detailed statement in writing, showing
the exact items on which it is planned
to make savings.
The committee has been told that
$3,200,000,000 of internal revenue will
be sufficient for this fiscal year, but,
should Senators decide that additional
funds must be raised, part of the
transportation tax on freight and pass
engers may be continued, at least for
1922, and some cuts in other taxes
made by the House eliminated.

Washington, Sept. 14. Burgenland,
scene of Europe's most recent "side
show war," might just as well be
Graustark, so far as its existence upon
the usual map of in the general refer
ence work is concerned, according to a
bulletin from the Washington. D. C,
headquarters of the National Geograph
ic Society.
Explaining what and where is this
scene of hostilities between Austrians
and Hungarians the bulletin says:
'"By Burgenland is meant the West
Hungary of 1.684 square miles and
some 345,000 people which was carved
from Hungary and given to Austria by
the Treaty of St. Germain.
"The strip resembles nothing so
much, perhaps, as an. old shoe, with
its flattened heel touching the Danube
opposite Pressburg (or Poz.sony), its in
step arched along the Austria-Hungary
border, its toe nearly tipping
Jugo-SIavia.
'In Burgenland the parenthesis
comes into its own. The map or time
table which neglects to give one alter
native for a city or town, and some
times a third choice, will handicap its
user. Tact also would require that if
one speak of the principal city of the
region to an Austrian he call it
Odenburg (also spelled Oedenburg);
but that if he mention the same city
to a Magyar he speak of it as Sopron.
"Odenburg has claims to fame on its
own account, notably its Church of St.
Michael completed eight years before
Columbus discovered America, and its
cattle markets of the days before the
war. But its principal association is
with the names of Esternay and
Szechenyl.
"Both north an deast of Odenburg
are castles of the Esterhazy family.
Along the Neusiedler See is the Hun
garian Versailles' where Haydn was
conductor of the private orchestra of
one Esterhazy. Nicholas Joseph. At
Mattersdorf (Xagymarton), where Au
strians have established a provisional
government, is the chateau of the fam
ily among whose scions were a palatine
of Hungary, one who refused the king
ship of Hungary, another Who was
the emissary of Louis XVI to Marie
Antoinette, and one who, in 1917, form
ed the Hungarian cabinet representing
the parties opposed to Count Tisz-i.
"The castle of the Szechinyi family
is nine miles southeast of Odenburg.
Kossuth, his political opponent, called
Istvan Szechinyi the greatest of the
Magyars.' and time seems to confirm
this unbiased judgment. Figuring first
as a sort of Paul Revere, in ' his ride
through enemy lines to convey a mes
sage of two emperors to Blucher and
Bernadotte, then as a Magyar
L'Enfant in his effort to make Buda a
capital beautiful, this nobleman has to
his credit such other divers achieve
ments as placing the first steamboat
on the Theiss and Danube, suggest
ing canals between the two rivers, writ
ing a book on horses racing and jr'v
ing a year's income to furthering the
wider use of the Magyar tongue.
"The principal concern of both Au
stria and Hungary with Bi.'rgen
land probably is the coal region at
Brennberg, near Odenburg. In the vi
cinity, too, are the towns of Ruszt and
Balf, centers of wine production.
"Neusiedler See, not far from Oden
burg, is a shallow body of water more
than 20 miles long and averaging sev
en miles wide. At . times it shrinks to
half its size. About the time of our
own civil war it dried up altogether."

The son of a Scotch laborer. Hector
McDonald commenced his eventful life
in the most prosaic of manners first
ts a barefoot plowboy and then as a
clerk in a country store. As far back
as he could remember, however, he had
wanted to be a soldier and, as soon as
he was old enough, he enlisted as a
private In the Gordon Highlanders,
carrying- the musket of a private sol
dier. Then, during the Afghan cam
paign of 1879, came the opportunity
which was to mean so much to him.
In company with a small body of
men. McDonald found himself sur
rounded by some two thousand or more
natives, bent upon the total destruction
of the British soldiers. The officers
having been shot, McDonald took com
mand of th? detachment and led them
in a dashing bayonet charge which rip
ped the ranks of the enemy wide open
and cut a lane through which the Eng
lish marched to safety. As a reward
for his exceptional bravery. Lord Rob
erts offered McDonald his choice of the
Victoria Cross or an officer's commis
sion and, without a moment's hesita
tion, the Scotchman chose the latter,
despite the fact the prejudice existing
against the exceptional officer who had
battled his way up from the ranks.
During the years that followed, Mc
Donald's career was one of almost con
tinual success. Dturing the Sudan cam
paign he was raised to tha rank of
Colonel in appreciation of his defeat of
a Dervish attack upon the British
flank and, during the Boer AVar, his
military accomplishments were so
marked that he was knighted and made
a brigadier-general.
During- the. interveing years, how
ever, he had been constantly waging
another war one against the prejudice
and enmity of certain officers of the
army who were jealous of the former
private's advancement and who. in con
cequence, tried to do everything in
their power to belittle and humiliate
him. The honors which Gen. McDon
ald received at the hands of the Quen
wiped out some of these scores but
only intensified others and, after his
appointment to the command of the
military post at Caylon. certain grave
charges were preferred agajnst him
which were" undoubtedly without the
slightest foundation.
His nerves frayed by the constant
strain under which he had labored and
feeling that he had been abandoned by
the friends he had made. Sir Hector
applied for leave of absence in order to
return to London, where he had a per
sonal interview with Lord Roberts, who
is reported to have advised him to re
turn to Ceylon and fight the accusa
tions to the limit. Other officials of
the "War Office were outspoken in their
demands for an instant court martial,
but whether this radical step was taken
has never been made public.
"Fighting Mac," as he was affec
tionately known to the rank and file
of the British Army, accordingly left
London supposedly for the Orient, but
only proceeded as far as Paris where
he registered at a rather secluded ho
tel and kept strictly to himself. Not
long afterward alii England was amaz
ed by the news of the suicide of the
general, who was reported to have sent
a bullet through his head after reading
an acount of the charges against him.
But his reported death by no means
ended the strange sequence of events
connected with his career. Although
the Scotch soldier was supposed to ba
a bachelor, his family was informed
that the general's widow had taken
the body back to Scotland and that the
interment had taken place quietly, with
no military honors whatever. Little
by little a rumor gained credence to
the effect that "Fighting Mac" was
not dead, but that he had returned to
the Orient under an assumed name
and had offered his sfarvices to the
Mikado one story stating that V fa
mous General Kuroki, who al h 'ed
such prominence during the Russ. Jap
anese War was none other than the
Scotch general. But the British War
Office took no cognizance of these re
ports and adhered to1 its original state
ment about General McDonald's death
in Paris.
Incidentally, the commission of in
auiry into the charges against him in
Ceylon returned a report completely
absolving him from all blame but no
inquiry, official or otherwise, has ever
swept away the veil of mystery which
surrounds the fate of one of the most
gallant officers who ever fought under
the British flag.

Stomach trouble is almost always
followed by a complicatici of dis
eases. One of the first being" an over
worked liver, with all the symptoms
of biliousness, followed in turn witn
headaches, coated tongue, nausea,
dizzy spells, pain in the back, palpi
tation of the heart and other distress
ing symptoms. Sooner or later the
kidneys will become involved and tnat
is just whv these danger signals should
be heeded in time. A wise man puts
out the fire before there is too mucn
destruction: the same theory should
apply to stomach trouble.
Gas in the stomach means fermen
tation instead of digestion; decay, In
stead of nutrition for fermentation pro
duces poisons, which are absorbed by
the blood, and which frequently bring
on the condition known as auto-intoxication
or self-poisoning. This is also
why we develop acidosis, which brings
on so many complications such as rheu
matism, hardening of the arteries, high
blood pressure and . other conditions,
which may mean permanent loss of
health. Acidosis is one of the main
forerunners of Bright's disease and
diabetes, hence it is evident that if
we have stomach trouble, however
slight, we are foolish indeed if we do
not take prompt steps to correct it.
If we are not fit as a fiddle in the
mornir; if we don't feel better than
when we went to bed; if our breath is
offensive; and we have that bad taste
in the mouth; nature has set the dan
ger signals for us and w-e cannot afford
to neglect the warning that she gives
us. That is just why the demand for
