ON KEEPING WARM.


The Requisites Are Proper Food aud Cloth
ing and Fresh Air.
A writer on hygienic topics i'm New
York exchange says concerning the
philosophy of keeping warm: With the
mercury in the sitting-room at sixty
eight degrees one ought to be comforta-
bly, warm. If he is not, the tempera-
ture is not at fault. Either more exer-
else, more carbonaceous food or more
clothes are needed: possibly more pure
air is needed, for bad air will strike a
chill to the stoutest heart. Instead,
then, when one feels cold of increasing
the fire in the range, increase the heat
in the blood, or more carefully prevent
its escape by putting on garments that
are non-conductors of heat: open the
windows and let in more oxygen, and
let out the poisonous products of re-
spiration, or go into the open air and
draw from unfailing reservoirs fresh
supplies of heat and vigor.
There are women who suffer from
chilliness most of the time from fall to
as they can in rooms heated to eighty

much underclothing, and make slight
change in summer and winter body
wear. OF course they are always hav-
ing colds and illness of various kinds,
which plenty of fiannels would entirely
prevent. Some assert that fannels irri-
tate the skin and can not be endured
next to it. If not, silk or cotton gar
ment may be worn next to the skin. and
flannel over that. Vigorous friction of
the entire surface of the body before
going to sleep and upon rising from
sleep is an excellent thing to keep one
warm.
Starchy food. sugar and fats, all arti-
cles containing carbon in abundance,
are good foods for cold weather. Pas
tries, cake and crullers are in season
now, if ever they ought to be in season.
Candy in cold weather is grateful to the
palate and far less injurious, if in
furious, than in warm weather In
stead of burning carbon in the stove
then, put it into the stomach; put on
clothing till chilliness ceases. exercise
till the body is all in glow, keep the
air of the rooms fresh and pure, and the
liabilities to sickness that makes winter
a. season to be dreaded win be largely
reduced. Budget.

Of dollars annually, receives from gov
ernment all the service possible. while
the service that the owner of farm OF
100 acres, the land value of which is but
S70O, receives is trivial Thereforc q
tax ON the value of land would be equit-
able. Each would pay exactly in proper
ton to the value of the land he was
using. The farmer would be relieved
of great burden and not only survive,
but.would become prosperous under the
conditions which would naturally fol-
low the adoption of the single tax on the
value of land. 1t is quite mystery to
me how any one can find it difficult to
understand SO simple problem. Mr..
Connolly, the United States consul to
New Zealand, undoubtedly has given
the subject considerable thought. He
recognizes results, but ascribes them to
causes from which they do not and can
not naturally and logically in the first
instance proceed. If Mr.. Connolly viii
study the subject, argue it along the
line of logical sequences, he will fine
that the evils of which he speaks and
all the evils that affect the general in
terest of the people of New Zealand or
any other country are caused by inequit-
able taxation and that the single tax is
the remedy, because it is equitable.

Uncle Silas sighed again and began
to nervously plait the table-eloth.

his usual weak way, ''he said he's en-

Mr.. George on Australia.

Henry George has an article on Aus
tralia in the Cosmopolitan for January
in which he says: Here is a country
with as large an area as our own, and
but one-twentieth of our population.
They have the Australian ballot; they
have responsible government: they
have a permanent, non-political civil
service; they have most admirable
and simple system of land registration
and transfer; they haye government
ownership and operation of railroads
and telegraphs. Trades-unionism has
with them reached a more powerful
development than anywhere else, and
they have come nearer to the adoption
of the eight-hour working day. They
lave State statisticians th;-t shame our
National and State bureaus, and they
have carried paternalism in some re-
spects to length unknown in any
other English-speaking country. They
have, too, the same social and economic
problems They have great public
debts They have land monopoly in
gigantic form. They have had land
speculations that would equal if not
surpass, those of any boom town of
our West. And (for it follows) they
have their unemployed, their charity
organizations, and strikes, that in
relative magnitude and importance, are
the greatest that have anywhere yet
taken place"
This is lesson for the Socialist. With
far more than we have of what the So
cialist cries for, labor troubles are worse
than with us, and 5s.05 per cent. of the
population is in the cities. The reason
of the excellence of the Government is
perhaps explained in later remark:
Fortunate above all other countries,
Australia has never known war"
Wakefield's plan of colonization by
selling the land so high that the poor
could not buy it and using the proceeds
to assist emigration is described,
Mr. George gives short and enter
tanning lesson in geography, with map
To those who are long from school the
facts seem fresh. Intelligent apprecia-
ton of institutions requires ability and
constitutes the main interest of this
paper. Mr.. George thinks the Austria
lians are much like the Americans.

fornia," also in this number, contains
an excellent portrait of Mr.. George. 1t
has, besides, some forcible words by
Edward E. Hale on Education of Pub
lie Spirit" in which he takes the ground
that government should come from the
people up, not from the upper classes"
down.

The Single Tax and the Farmer Againl

A Mr.. Connolly, United States consul
to New Zealand, has been discussing
the politico-economic condition of that
country in the Brooklyn Eagle. In re-
gard to the single tax agitation now GO
ing on in New Zealand he says:
There is considerable agitation in the
colony at present as to the merits and
dement's of single land tax. But as
the farmer, upon whom the burden must
ultimately fall, has to contend with the
many trials and vicissitudes which be-
set the farmers of other lands it is diff
cult to thoroughly understand how he
is to survive and prosper under the adj
ditional taxation which must naturally
follow the adoption of the single land
tax system.
All of which goes to show that Mr..
Connolly doesn't know what he is talk
ing about. But Mr.. S. ID. Guion is de-
termined that the readers of the Eagle
shall not be misled by Mr.. Connolly's
specious reasoning, SO he explains to
them, and explains at Mr.. Connolly,
what the single tax theory really is and
how it would really operate. tits to be
hoped that the Eagles readers, espe-
cially Mr.. Connolly. have read and in
wardly digested the following, which
appeared in that paper lately:
1t [the single taxi is not tax ON
land but on the value of land, on the
value of bare land without improve
ments, as vacant lot in city. II is
not tax on area, but on value. There
is but little value ON the bare land of a
farm of 100 acres that would sell for
$1,000. have in mind one farm of
100 acres that would sell for So,
900, the owner of which computed
the value of the improvements, the
clearing, SO as to fit it to be con-
venient and easy to cultivate, fencing,
ditching, digging well, planting or
chards, etc., house, barns and out
houses to be IS, 800, leaving the value of
the bare land but s700. His State and
county tax was s46. Under the single
tax it would have been SS5. The profit
made from using land is what gives it
its value; the larger the profit the
greater the value. From using some
city lots profit of thousands of dollars
can be made. From some farms of a
thousand times the area of the city lot,
no profit can be made. Some city lots
have great value. Some farms have
only an Improvement, but no land
value. The greater the service the
owner or user of land receives from the
Government, the larger his profit can
be. If he receives no such service he
can make no profit. The service Of
government is as to the size and density
of the community. The larger and
more dense the community the greater
the service of government Each
should pay q tax in proportion to the
service he receives from government.

lucky, too careless, too confidential in
other peoples plans to ever succeed.

Don't, don't say that, 'Lizy," he
said, tremulously. .sPoor Dave, who
knows but this scheme may turn out
well? I'm sure we ought to help him. "

The Indiana House of Representa-
tives has passed resolution proposing
that Indiana shall cooperate with Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan
sas, Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania
in an inquiry as to how much capital is
loaned in those States, with q view to
taxing such capital. The resolution in
cludes the other States named, be-
cause it has dawned on the Indiani-
ans that If one State begins taxing such
capital, alone. the lending companies
will withdraw from that State. 1t
seems to us this ought to recommend
the scheme. We take it for granted
that the States that are trying to tax
capital find they have too much of it
and are trying to drive it away. If this
be the case action by single State is
sure to be more effective than joint
action by treaty between several
States, which may perhaps be found
violative by the Federal Constitution.
