reason for using the phrase l6 to l in

Too much Pork. Not Enough Fat.

Without doubt the fat in pork is
about as hard 10 digest as any thing can
be. A person has TO have strong
digestion and must be engaged in
hard work in order to take care Of
this food, although it is true large
number of persons depend upon it Us
pecially through the cold weather.
The fact is, however, that as rule
fat is largely deficient in our food ;
that is, fat which can be easily di-
gested and promptly assimilAted by
the system. Cod liver oil, as we find
it in SCOTS Emulsion, is the most ca
silly digested of all fats it is just the
food the body must have TO give it
nerve power, brain power and diges-
tive power.

Kentucky Taxes Will Be Reduced.

The State Board of Equalization
filed its report with the Auditor,
Grand total assessed value of all prop
erty subject to equalization is 1914 +
S67, 1854. While this is an increase OF
about 100000 over the assessment
OF Last year, the amount of tex to be
realized will be $226,O0O less than last
year, owing to the decrease Of the tax
rate from 524 to 474 cents, besides
which the assessment of shares of
stock of National banks also falls
short, knocking the State Treasury
out of about 100000 The report
shows that there was raised in the
State last year upward of 1850 900
acres of corn.
