Sarsapariila To Reduce Tax On Dairymen Finance Committee Will Pass New Ordinance Requiring Dealers To Fay $15 Per Wagon Small Dealers $2 a Cow The finance committee, at its meet ing tomorrow night, will reduce the tax on dairymen doing business in Charlotte and at the same time raise the tax on milk dealers who do not operate delivery wagons. The license tax in force at present, which is regu lated according to the number of cows, will be abolished and a new basis of taxation substituted. The committee will pass an ordi nance requiring all dairymen who op erate delivery wagons to pay an an nual tax of $15 per wagon and the small dealer who peddles milk in his neighborhood by hand $2 per cow. The members of the finance committee have agreed upon this basis and will formally pass the ordinance tomorrow night. The dairymen and. it is understood, some of the city officials have been dissatisfied with the graduated scale of taxation in force at present. The aldermen -were asked to reduce the fees, as the milk dealers claim they are too high. The aldermen at a recent meeting referred the matter to the fin ance committee with power to act. HIS FAITH IN TRAMPS GONE Landlord Shelters Ten, Who Get Up Early and Loot Hotel. Allentown, Pa., March 12. John Fina, proprietor of the Union Hotel, always had an idea that the tramps that infest this region were all good at heart and that if you trusted them they would never betray any trust and confidence. Acting on this supposition, Fina accommodated 10 tramps with rooms. When Fina and the boarders got up they discovered that the guests had gotten up during the night and looted the entire house and took whatever suited them best. Shoes, clothing, watches and money were the principal articles stolen. Fina's trust in tramps is gone. WANT PAVING EXTENDED. BEAUTIFUL LINE LADIES' PATENT KID TAN PUMPS AND TWO HOLE TIES.

Southern de-? pot, will petition the Board of Al dermen to have the bithulithic paving extend all the way to the depot, in stead of stopping at the fire limits, to which the charter only give them the right to pave. The people feel that it would be much better to have the paving ex tend all the way to . the depot than to have it stop half way as it will do if no action is taken. This matter will probably come up at the next meeting of the board. IMPROVE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. The Board Will Act on Recommenda tions of Fire Chief "Orr. A meeting of the school board will be held tonight to take some action i i regard to the recommendations of Fir i Chief W. S. Orr, that the school build ings of the city should be arranged so as to afford more safety to the children in tho case of fire., r: s- tragedy in a Ohio city some days a2. has brought this matter forward, and it is felt that immediate action should be taken to safeguard the lives of the children in the event of fire. Rev. Dr. McDaniel Preaches on Gid eon and His Band. The power of an enthusiastic man, with his talents dedicated to the ser vice of God, formed the theme of Rev. Dr. McDaniel's sermon at the First Baptist Church last night. There a good congregation pres ent considering the ugly nigo out side. Gideon was an enthusiastic man and enthusiasm counts for more man numbers, so that the three hundred men who followed him and who were inspired by his own enthusiasm were able to win a greater victory than the vast army would have done. "I was holding a meeting in Texas and there were only about 40 peo ple present," said the speaker. ' said those 40 were the backbone ot that church, and the pastor asked ! afterward who told me about this people. One of the good women at the beginning of that service said to me. 'Brother McDaniel, God is cutting down Gideon's army.' Those 40 showed their enthusiasm by com ing out that stormy night." j ine cnurcn or uoa is not a moo. It is an army marching and fighting under skillful leadership." Dr. McDaniel here described the fear of a little church when the pillar of their church died. They were looking to men more than to God. "I pray for my own church that none shall join it save the needy and those who shall be willing, to work. I pray the same prayer for your church. We are strong in proportion to the work we do. "The weapons of Gideon's army were first trumpets, and we have our voices. Then they had lights. Said Christ: 'Ye are the light of the world.' The lights were in the pitch ers so that the pitchers had to be broken before the Sveapons could do their best work. Many people are today hiding their lights in pitchers. A few of suc-h pitchers the speaker enumerated as indifference, prejudice and tmforgiveness. The victory was won as the little army gave its battle cry, "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.' The Rough Riders of Col. Roosevelt won the battle of San Juan Hill with the cry, 'Remember the Maine.' The Church of Jesus Christ should fight with its slogan of 'Remember Jesus Christ.' " Fair Secretaries Will Meet in Salisbury Sunday Night. The probable dissolution of the North Carolina circuit of fair associa tions is still pending. The question will be settled Saturday at a meeting of the secretaries in Salisbury. Every effort will be made at this time to hold the circuit together with an at tempt to arrange all dates so that none will conflict. Referring to "the meeting in Colum bia, S. C, yesterday morning of repre sentatives of various associations in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida to arrange dates so that none would conflict, it was stated in one of the Columbia papers that Secretary C. M. Creswell, of Charlotte, would be present. Mr. Creswell did not attend the meeting because is was necessary to firt arrange the dates of the fairs to be held in North Carolina. JOKE FEEDS HUNGRY MOB WILL SECURE FIRE STATION. To Organize Anti-Saloon League.

Harry are back from Cuba. Mr. Purnell's Appointment. Rev. T. H. Pnrnell will not preach at. Friendship Baptist church next , Sundav, but will preach there the I fourth Sunday this month, morning and night. When your food does not seem to give you strength, stop eating promiscuously for a few days, take a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, eat slowly and note the way you can work all the forenoon without that "faint" feeling. Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and ifcarley, contains the phosphates which the mil ler of white flour throws out for that part makes dark flour, but these phosphates are ne cessary to the rebuilding of brain and nerve cells. You get Nature's food, not drugs, in Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason." Finance Committee Will Make Fa vorable Report to Aldermen. It is understood that the finance committee of the Board of Alder men, to whom the matter was left, will vote favorably on the proposi tion to establish a fire station in the southern part of the city. The residents of Ward 8 and 9 are especially anxious to secure a station and the aldermen from these wards made a strong fight to secure this protection. A motion by Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick to establish the station was referred to the finance com mittee by only one vote over those who wanted the board to act at once. The station will probably be erect ed at the corner of Park avenue and South Tryon street, as it is cont that this location will be better for both Dilworth and those sections of the southern end of the city lying be yond Tryon street. The matter will be definitely de cided at the meeting of the finance committee tomorrow night. Elizabeth Property Brings Good Prices. Mr. B. R. Lee, representing the Carolina Realty Co., sold today for Messrs. C. 0. and Willis Brown their property on Elizabeth avenue, between Cecil and Fox streets, to Mr. O. J- Thies. .

Robinson & Co., the book dealers. Mr. Durham is at the head of the wholesale department. Rich Church Makes False Report Good by Real Breakfast. Pittsburg, Pa., March 12. Some en emy of the fashionable Second Presby terian church played a joke with sur prising results, by circulating a story that at the Sunday morning service a good breakfast would be served to 150 of the city's needy. Long before the time set for service the vestibules and halls of the big church on Eighth street were crowded with the worst looking lot of people who had ever been inside the doors. They were hun gry and had come to be fed, though the pastor nor any of his flock knew what was expected. Pastor Rev. S. Edward Young soon found out, however, and starting the collection with a dollar, which he said would find breakfast for 10 men, he went through the church and soon had enough to feed everyone and have a 'surplus for permanent Sunday morn ing breakfasts. Now everyone is invit ed each Sunday morning to eat in the basement at the expense of Pastor Young's "Breakfast Brotherhood Club." w of Toilet SyonI plete Line mm ppfses - Bradley's Wildwood Violet Toilet Water, per bottle 50 Cents Bradley's Woodland Violet Sea Salt for the bath, per bottle 35 Cents Kiveris' Talcum Powder, large size bottle, only 25 Cents NOTICE TO VOTERS I HEREBY ANNOUNCE MYSELF A CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE OF COUNTY TREASURER SUBJECT TO THE ACTION OF THE DEMO CRATIC PRIMARY.
