WHEN Hon. Calvin S. Brice. Senator
elect from Ohio by virtue of Doodle, has
paid the $4,000 back taxes under the

show that the Farmers Alliance oppo-

THERE are two ways OF regarding

acts for which they themselves are re-

IT is clear, 80 tho great doctors OF
the world agree, that tile death rate
OF large communities may be reduced
much below that at which 1t has been
wont to stand; that the average dura-
ton of life may be made to approx
mate nearer to the allotted four score,
and the conditions Of living may be
greatly ameliorated. The chief obsta-
cles to improvement have been igno-
rance and want OF belief. A better
knowledge OF the laws OF life and
health, more rational comprehension
OF the nature and causes OF disease,
are gradually but surely entailing i'm
provement in the conditions OF living
and in the value OF life, and the dimi.
