The State Board of Equalization,
which is now in session at Frankfort
is making good progress with its
work. The examination of the fig
ures shows a falling off from the as
sessment of 1885 of about $4,500,000,
OF this amount $40,555 is in Chris
tian. Union 1920, ,260, and Clark $556,.
3iS show the heaviest decrease.
Kcnton, Fayette, Graves and Dayiess
show the largest increase. The fol-
lowing is the explanation offered bv
a member of the board for the large
falling off:
"Thc elective system for assessors
is altogether wrong. You can't get
them to perform their work satisfac-
torily, although they take an oath to
assess at "a fair cash valuation" be-
cause they are seeking favor at the
hands of the people whose property
they are required to assess. Now
the real cause of this remarkable
falling Off is traceable to the action
Of the Legislature. The question OF
the continuance of the ate-Board,
was agitated, and the repeal actually
passed one house just at time when
the assessment was in progress.
Naturally the Assessors took 1t for
granted that it would pass both hous.
es Of the Assembly, and leave them
free TO fix their own figures without
power to supervise or change the
valuations set by them. 1t is simply
ridiculous TO say that there has been
an actual decline Of valuations il
Kentucky. Everybody knows tha
last year was an unusually good yeal
for tobacco, grain and crops general
ly, besides in building improvement
and railroads, all of which is an aug
mentation to the States wealth
The board can now bring about I
more equitable adjustment ofthe tax
alton, but the law does not authoriz,
it to raise the aggregate assessmen
ofthe State. II it had not been 70
the unsettled condition of the board
position before the Legislature, be
lieve the increase this year woul'
haye been between ten and fifteel
millions, or about the same as il wa
the superinducing agency in effect
ing last year.

why Jews Live an Ionr

The NeSo England Medical Monthly
comments very favorably ON the pro-
verbal long and healthful lives of the
Jews. DR. Picard holds that this supe-
riority IS due to their stringent health
laws. The Mosaic, like the older
Egyptian code, is very stringent re-
garding the eating of flesh and other
articles of food. OF the animals ex-
amined, large proportion are always
condemned as unfit for food. People
who eat meat indiscriminately are very
prone to disorders OF the blood and of
the kidneys, for meat composed of
nitrogen, which the kidneys have to re-
move from Tho blood, aud of course
they cannot do this successfully except
by the aid OF Warmers safe cure, the
best kidney strengthened, unless it is
temporarily partaken of and only the
very best meat IS used. Jews also use
alcoholic liquors very sparingly and
thus keep up good digestion. and then
again they are a holiday-loving and
misunderstanding class.-H0usekeep-

of resistless years, turned to golden
links, forming pleasant but powerful
bond of union between my parents and
myself For that reason | hope that /
may be spared to my parents for many
years to come.
There on that spot. with no inheri-
