The treasury statement showing the total collections for the month re- Ported that for the first nine months of the fiscal year income tax had amounted to $1,506,281,238 as compar- ed with $1,612,137,844 in the same per-, iod of last year. Not more than $350, ey 000,000 is expected from this source in the last quarter which would bring the total income tax for the year to $1,856,000,000 as compared with §2,- 410,986,977 in 1930. The collections for the last day of March were $3,093,463 as compared be $3,523,172 for the same day in Chae revenue kept pace with the decline in income taxes. The indica- tion was that the total revenue to be collected by the government for the fiscal year would amount to probably not more than $2,250,000,000 and that the government would end the year next with a deficit of $700,000,000 or more. Increasing expenditures, which for nine months amounted to $3,126,540,- 319 as compared to $2,932,209,145 last year, indicated the government would have to raise funds through substan- tial security sales.

Pre- NOTICE DEAR FRIENDS: In afew days. I expect to leave for Spain by steamer direct from New York. My object in going to Spain at this time is primarily to attend the International Convention of Nature-Cure Phy- siclans which will be held this summer in the beau- tiful city of Barcelona on the Mediterranean. . I also wish to visit other points of interest especially Southern Spain, Andalucia and Granada, im- mortalized by our own Washington Irving in “Con- quest of Granada” and “The Alhambra. Maybe you folks do not know that Barcelona is the Mecca of Natural Healing or as the Span- jards call it NATURALISMO and that a great school is maintained there and that numerous pub- licaticris on the subject of NATURAL HEALING ‘are distributed from this point all over Europe. At the convention this year in Barcelona phy- sicians who believe in the system of NATURAL HEALING wil be present from all European coun- tries and also from the Latin American republics. The system of NATURAL HEALING, 1. e., without metallic drugs or surgery, is much further advanced in Europe than in America but this rational system is also rapidly gaining ground in the United States. The public is coming to learn more and more that there is no SHORT CUT to health, but that NATURE'S LAWS. must be ob- served if disease is to be CURED and Health main- tained. During my absence in Europe Dr. MacLachlan’s Nature-Cure Clinic will be in charge of my partner, Dr. A. 8, Anderson, who has been associated with me for many months and who of an Se eure DIETITIAN and HEAL’ is also a graduate O! SPECIALIST and all my friends know that when I recommend him it is because he is thoroughly skilled in his profession. Moreover; Folks, don't forget, please, that it is no longer necessary to pay $15 or $20 for glasses because Dr. 2 asia can hiding you -with the very latest white gold frames as low as $4.50 and the dark or sitet glasses ae ‘still lower prices.
