While there are perhaps 2,000 or
ore persons in this dictrict who
wrs required to show stock divi
dends on their previous returns,
only about twelve of them -were
credited with an amount sufficient
to come under the surtax law. It
vu only necessary for the person
ding a return to show dividends
ebtained up to $5,000. When that
mount was reached it became nec
iiary to file on a more elaborate
return, showing the amount of div
idends credited with in excess of
15 000. It was on this excess that
tie surtax became operative on a
graduated scale, which attained as
hlfh ss 65 per cent on a profit of
1100.000.
But, on the other hand, the tax
vu considerably less on an annual
dividend of $50,000, between $5,000
and $8,000, and it is readily seen
that a community of this nize has

at Motor Skew.
Outside of sport models develop
ed from touring bodies, .".utomo
biles seen at the tri-dty atomo
bile show in the Sunday taberna
cle yesterday demonstrated the
fact that the 1920 cars show little
change in design. Here and there
a new dash light the addition of a
fender, new arrangement of seats
or different disposition of some ac
cessory, constitutes the distinguish
ing feature between the 1920 and
1919 models.
On the whole, however, lines re
main unchanged. The Elgin and
the R. fc V. Knight are exhibiting
handsome new sport models, nar
row, with sides cut down to give
them racy lines. By a coincidence
the two have a substantially sim
ilar appearance, are situated near
to each other in the exhibit and
are colored nearly the same shade
of jnaroon.
Attendance Light. -
Commercial associations of the
tri -cities were well represented at
tbe tabernacle show last night.
Monday evening had been announc
ed for the . special reception of
chambers of commerce, commercial
clubs and such organizations of the
three cities, and delegations from
each, comprising in all several
hundred persons, attended. The
attendance was not up to anticipa

hopes are held out that it will
pick up.

POSTUM
"77imr' m Jim.
You'll never know how quickly a
bad couch can be conquered, until you
try this famous old home-made rem
edy. Anyone who has coughed all
day and all night, will say that the
immediate relief given is almost like
magic. It is very easily prepared,
ana there is nothing better for coughs.
Into a pint bottle, put 2'2 ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
suffar svnio to make a full Dint. Or
.you can use clarified molasses, honey.
ur cum syrup, losina 01 sugar ayrup.
Either way, the full pint saves about
two-thirds of the money usually
spent for cough preparations, and
gives you a more positive, effective
remedy. It keeps perfectly, and
tastes pleasant children like it.
You can feel this take hold instantly,
seoihing and healing the membranes
in all the air passages. It promptly
loosens a dry, tight cough, and soon
you will notice the phlegm thin out
and disappear. A day's use will usually
break up an ordinary throat or chest
cold, and it is also splendid for bron
chitis, croup, hoarseness, and bron
chial asthma.
Pinex ia a most valuable concen
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract the most reliable rem
edy for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
ttruggist for "2t ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction or money refunded,
