Heavy Taxes in Cuba.

Habana, July 9.-The municipal
council Of Cienfuegos has very mate
rally increased the municipal taxes
such as the taxes On sugar, cigarettes
and stores. Storekeepers of Cienfuegos
declare they will have to close, as they
cannot afford to pay the increased
rates.
La Lucha, commenting upon this
matter says that behavior such as that
of the municipal council of Cienfuegos
will be used to accentuate the differ
ences between the parasite classes and
the producing industrial classes.
Regarding the refusal of the bankers
of Habana to make an offer on the loan
of s4,0oo,o 900 desired by the govern
ment to assist the sugar cane cultiva-
tors of the islands the Diarie de la
Marina says today that the meaning
was undoubtedly clouded by the United
States with intention. The apparent
meaning of the clause, says the paper
is that Cuba can only devote her sur
plus revenue to the payment of inter
est and principal of loans. The..Diarie
SAYS the economic future of the island
is very uncertain.
The action OF the bankers in refus-
ing this loan is credited in some Cuban
quarters to spite.

Secretary Wilson, Of the department
Of agriculture, in an address before
the American Association of Farmers
Institute Workers in Washington, urg-
ed the need of new system of educa-
ton. The training of farmers should
begin in the primary schools. Secre-
tary Wilson said 'our system of edu-
cation in this country is old-fashion-
ed. It was imported from the other
side of the water and is much like the
systems from which it sprang. Col
leges we're originally organized to edu-
cate preachers. We do educate doc
tors, lawyers and dentists now, but
none of our schools furnish farmers
the education they need. We have
agricultural schools, but they teach
nearly everything but agriculture. 1t
is almost impossible to find instructors
who have knowledge of animal hus-
bandry, plants and soils. Consequent
ly the department. of agriculture is
compelled to educate it's own special
lists and has 260 young men and women
who are learning the things relating
to agriculture which are not taught in
any schools of the country.

in few minutes the building was
wrapped in sheet of flame. Although
it was. pouring rain the fire burned
rapidly and spread to buggy house

buildings were destroyed. By prompt
action the horses in the stables and
some seven @or eight buggies were
saved. Barr's Hotel and the law Office
of John A. Kelley escaped destruction

COMMISSIONS HOT NEEDED.
For lntendents and Wardens Of
the Different Towns.

Gen. Youmans, for the attorney,
generals Office yesterday furnished the
following opinion in regard to the
question raised recently by a newly.
elected intendant as to whether the
governor should issue commissions
to the intendants and wardens Of
towns:
Sir: In response to letter of Mr.. E.
E. Aull, your private secretary, July
Sd, the opinion is given that it is not
the duty of the governor to commission
intenGant and wardens of town, un-
der section l of the act to regulate
fees and commissions of public Off
GERS" {Feb. 19, 1901, % stat, 754),
special reference being had to the
concluding words of the section:
"Other persons whose duties are
defined by law
The object Of the act seems to be
rather to prohibit such officers as
should be commissioned from assum-
ing the duties of the Office before tax
ing oath and receiving commission,
than to provide for their being COM
missioned. While these concluding
words of section may be sufficiently
broad to cover intendants and wardens,
yet they must be considered in con-
nection with the provision Of the con-
stitution (article W., sec I7), that
sshe {the governor) shall commission
all officers Of the State,' and with
the other action of the State in pari-
materia, notably, that these words
are not in the code, whichyis the only
general statutory law Of the State
"a. A., Feb. 6, l902,E23 stat, sSal
and with the fact that the functions
of the intendants and wardens of a
town are so restrictedly local and un-
connected with duties of either State
or county officers.

Brain. Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutriment
is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance or
prevent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the favor
ite medicine of the healthy millions. A few:
doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood, and
makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You
