On December 30, 1925, the surplus was aproximately $100,000,000 less, or $125,598,300. Most of the excess, according to the statement accompanying the announcement, is accounted for by heavily increased receipts on customs and Income taxes. For the first six months of the current fiscal year, customs receipts were $818,817,857, as compared with $292,- (321,815 at the same date in 1925. Customs receipts for Dec^nber were $48,- 431,203 or approximately $2,000,000 more than in December last year. For the six months' period Income tax collections totaled $1,046,840,959, compared with the figures for the last six months of 1925 of $855,739,015. Income tax collections for December, 1926, were $429,228,919. The total received from miscellaneous taxes was only $334,456,346, however, compared with $487,889,572 and compared with the six-month period a year ago. This is. accounted for, the treasury statement explained, because of the repeal of a number of the taxes in the list Under Secretary of the Treasury Winston was questioned in regard t« forecasts made some months ago t$ the effect that the surplus for th$ current fiscal year would reach $500,» 000,000. He explained that judging from the first half figures, the treas* ury surplus for 1927 would probably be not more than $383,000,000. Appropriation of $123,000,000 to the fundj for veterans* adjustment certificates, Mr. Winston said, accounted for the, reduction In figures. In the year ended December 31, 1026, the treasury reduced the public debt by $l,;73s504£01 to a total of $19,074,665337. MAN OF 60 HELPED BY SIMPLE MIXTURE "After taking Adlerika I feel better than for years. At my age (60) it is ideal--so different from other medicines." (signed) W. W. Carter. Adlerika is a simple mixture of buck thorn bark, glycerine, etc., ' which removes GAS in ten minutes and often brings surprising relief to the stomach. Stops that full, bloated feeling. Brings out old waste-matter you never thought was in your system. Excellent for chronic consitpation. Thomas P. Bolger, Druggist Our National VISITORS to theUnited States from other countries marvel at the efficiency of our great industrial organizations, of the skill with which great crowds are handled on occasions of public interest, and a sjcore of other things in which the Ability of American organizers to handle things in great volume is shown. The principal tool or instrument behind these seeming marvels is usually found to be the telephone. Take telephone service out of our great factories,ourgreatstores,our great expositions and congresses, and confusion will be likely to replace the smoothness and efficiency at which the visitors marvel.! Studies extending over half a century have brought the telephone service in America to its present efficiency. While this is most strikingly shown in connection with big affairs and great emergencies, it is likewise to be found in the ordinary service, which is at the call of any and every telephone subscriber.
