ADJUST VALUATIONS.

With the present indebtedness of
the county and the prospeot-of ad-
ditional expense in the way of
courts the taxes will fall far short
of meeting the current demands on
the treasury, and an Indebtedness
tax will be necessary the coming
year Bow large this will be de.
pends on the time the commissioners
deem proper to take to pay off the
debt, but as it now seems while
former debts are being paid new
ones will BE accruing so that the
tax may and no doubt will be nee
essary for several years. In view
of this would not the taxpayers be
wise to insist that tho assessment
be adjusted so that it may be equita-
BILE. No one wishes to pay more
than his share'of tax and no honest
man would ask to pay less. AS it is
now there can be no definite con-
clusion reached by any one, because
there is no real basis of valuation.
It is all guess work. No man can
say that his valuation as compared
with his neighbor is too high or too
low, because ne does now know the
measure by which the other valua-
ton is made, if in fact there is any.
This adjustment would require
much time, labor and care, but, if
there is a desire to equally distribute
the taxation among those who pay,
it should be done.
tits the more important because
this is the triennial assessment, and
the values now fixed will practically
remain for three years. Farmers
do not allow this to pass without an
effort to have a proper adjustment
made. The more you investigate
the matter the more yon win see to
convince you Of its Importance to
your financial welfare.

RETALIAToRY legislation with TO-
ference to our tariff is not being
heard from, despite the dismal pro-
dictions of last June and July. The
only place where 1t is suggested is
in Argentine, and o study of the
commercial relations of that country
with the United States shows that
there is little probability that any
action will be taken which would
disturb the business relations of the
two countries in view Of the fact
that wo buy more from Argentine
than she buys from us.

Prepare to Attend.

The Farmers Institutes for the
winter have been announced and
those for this county will be held at
Milford, Feb. Il, and Mt Dingman S
Ferry Feb. 10. In the one day In .
stitute the evening session will be
devoted to Education for farmers
and their children. The other ses-
sions are left open for the more gen
eral topics relating to Agriculture.
These meetings are intended espe-
cially to aid the farmers, and assist
their in these efforts to raise their
business out Of the depressed condi-
ton into which it has fallen in re-
cent years Complete programs of
exercises can be had by addressing
this office. 1t is earnestly hoped
that all who possibly can will attend
the meetings, and be prepared with
such suggestions and experiences
as may be of profit to others. All
trades and professions meet and dis
cuss the situation as relating to the
improvement of their business and
why not the farmers?

faction OF happiness to the possess
sor, than some knowledge of music
Singing is a natural safety valve for
either depression or exuberance of
spirit, besides being a oompan.
ion in solitude, and happy form
Of worship We believe the older
generations were generally more ad.
vanced in knowledge Of hymns and
tunes, and the reading of notes than
the present. The Sabbath school of
thirty and more years ago was a
great teacher Of hymns and music.
What middle aged man or woman
in this and tho surrounding com
munities does not recall with tender
emotions the face form and voice of
John H Wallace who was aoous-
toned to hold a service Of song in
his Sabbath schools?
The little tune books are lost or
relegated to the garret, the singer
has gone to his reward his tuning
fork is silent but his memory is
green, and the hymns he taught are
still sung and involuntarily come
yelling up and carry the thoughts
back to happy childhood days.
The of Mosier is a household
word with the old people and the
tunes he taught are still stored in
their fading memories. There is
nothing purer OF more ennobling
than good music, and nothing ten
derer than a chorus Of childrens
voices. The girls who had singing
Mothers and were taught at her
knees the simple rhymes and tunes
like Nearer My God" make better
wives and mothers than those who
We're taught no music and no songs.
The old fashioned singing school
was looked forward to with interest
and pleasure and the evening spent
in music and social intercourse was
far more instructive and elevating
than the modern rattle ofthe piano
with its accompaniment of chatter
and shuffling feet.
These may be fogy notions and
not agreeable to the taste of the pre-
sent generation, but let the modern
young man and woman stand up
and be compared as to their know
ledge Of reading music by sight or
sing ing without the guide of an in
strument. with those who were SO
taught years ago, ana the difference
will be marked In the church the
choir does the singing, and the con-
gregation worships in silence lest
there should be a discord.
There would be more religion if
the people took part in the service
of song, and the voices of the entire
assemblage rose in hymns of praise.
We belieye it would be wise and
highly beneficial to go back to some
extent at least to the methods of
those days when singing was more
generally taught both in the day
and Sabbath school.

The Ohio Democrats are not by
any means a happy family. The
silver question has not only made a
wide breach in the ranks of the
party but is making the breach
wider every day. Not only are the
gold Democrats absolutely divorced
from that branch of the party which
made free silver the chief plank Of
the platform, but now candidate
Mclean and his followers want to
abandon free silver, and as result
are making another division in the
party. Chairman O'Myers, who, it
is said, ordered ex-Congressman
Towne off the stump and out of the
state, and even Mclean himself, are
understood TO be urging the absolute
abandonment of the silver cause.

ANYHOW, there is one thing that
William Jennings B ryan can still do.
He can write letters. He has been
bribed to keep out of New York
State in person, elected from Ohio,
given the cold shoulder in Maryland
and shelved in Kentucky, but this
does not prevent his writing letters
at long range and injecting his ad-
vice where it is not wanted. The
United States mails are still open to
him and by furnishing to the news
papers advance copies of his letters
he still manages to keep himself be-
before the public eye despite the
efforts of the leaders of his party TO
silence him.

THnNUTRlrlvz VALUE AND DlaEsrrBm


A mixed diet, therefore, seems to
be the only sensible one for man.
The three classes of nutrients-pro-
tein, fats, and carbOhydrates-must
each furnish part of our food, and
while iG is true that the vegetables
can supply these, it is difficult to OBJ
tain from wholesome, easily digested
vegetables these nutrients in the
proper proportions required for the
bodily health.
A fair proportion Of meats, or
flesh forming food, Ia a mixed diet
is one fourth, the fats and carbohy-
drates being three fourths. The
food stuffs which most nearly supply
these nutrients in the proper proper
tions>are those which pail on use loss
readily. When any fool does not
supply these in the proper amounts,
instinct, appetite, and experience
gnide us in the selection Of the food
which ought to be added to it. Thus
meats deficient in fat are combined
with some substance in which the
fat is relatively larger, For exam
pie, liver, veal, or chicken is cooked
with bacon. Pork supplies the
needed fat to make beans more
nearly q perfect food. Fish is cooked
in butter or oil. Butter, eggs, and
cream are mixed with starchy foods
rice, sago, tapioca, potatoes, etc.
Cheese, containing fat, is added to
macaroni, crackers and cheese are q
fav0rite combination, and bread and
milk mako a very complete food for
children. Whenever one kind of
food is wanting in any particular
constituent we invariably associate
it with another that contains an ex-
cess Of that oonstituent.-The Chau-
tauquan,
