of this time. give another infection of the potassium iodide and continue as before. Be careful not to get the udder infected by using soiled instruments for in that case garget would result after the COW had recovered.
 The first thing to do in case of milk fever and before the throat becomes paralyzed is to give pound of Glauber or Epson salts dissolved in water. A frequent recturnal injection of the bowels with warm soapy water is very good. After the cows throat becomes paralyzed all medicine should be given hypoder- mically or through a rubber hose. for if drenched in the usual way the liquids are liable to run down the windpipe into the lungs and either strangle the COW or cause pneumonia, and subsequent death.
 Preventives.
 The pregnant COW should be kept on scant pasture for a month previous to calving This will not only reduce her flesh. but will give her plenty of exercise which Is very beneficial Just previous to calving a bran mash with some flax seed meal added Is very good to keep the bowels in loose condition. Unless the COW shows signs of constipation the writer does not think 1t best to give salts just before parturtion. as the shock seems to weaken the system and cause nervousness and excitement. But a pound of salts should be given just after calving. This has the desired effect at the right time.
 Give no rich food to dam until she Is out of danger. Bran slop and some good hay is all that Is needed Avoid giving cold water and do not allow the animal to become chilled. Plenty or fresh air and sunshine with some ex- ercise daily are helpful preventives.

Back Taxes.

Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir, Your recent editorial on delinquent
taxes and land-grnbbers is timely. our
sugges tions are good.
As d taxpayer In five different counties
in Virginia, have had lands advertised
for sale. fol: taxes after had written the
county treasurer for a statement Of y
taxes due" and had paid his tax bill as
rendered.. This In the face Of the fact !
held in my safe the old tax receI pts. ,&8
The county officials sometimes claim
that no one but a lawyer can say Just
what taxes are due on II given piece OF
real estate in Virginia.
According to the auditors report, there
are thousands of different pieces OF real
estate in Virginia. No lawyer will ex-
anime a tax record for less than tive
or ten dollars. This would mean an ex.
penditure OF hundreds of thousands of
dollars in order to be certain that the
people of Virginia own the homes they
live in. There is no assurance that the
tlctun Of a lawyer would be conclusive
evidence. This alone will 5Stend to Kill
emigration to Virginia. 7 do not question
the honesty and efi1ciencytof manyEof our
county officers. III some cases they 90
not receivel&a salary large enough to
keep moro than body and soul together.
The large percentage given for the col
lection OF delinquent taxes seems to me
is wrong. 81. j.. BAYLOR. 8

Cars Will Not Stop at Stores in Shop.
 ping Streets.
 A plan to stop the trolley cars only at certain definite stations has been under trial for month in the shop ping district in Brooklyn. It seems to be successful endeavor to relieve the congestion along lower Fulton street in the buy season.
 In accordance with a custom that has existed unchecked since the daya of the horse cars, Brooklyn women, when on shopping tours have always insisted on the cars stopping for them before the store they intended to visit first and to take them up at whatever point their hunt for bargains may end. This, with the regular stops at cor. ners, has made the lot of the conduc. tors and motormen a far from happy one and has been frequent cause of delay.
 Under the new plan the trolley cars will stop only at certain spots desig. mated by signs as trolley stations. As far as possible the stations are on op- posite sides of the street, and they have been located to suit the shoppers rather than the ordinary traffic, buT if the scheme works as expected the traffic facilities will be enhanced for DOLu ClASSGS or pdSSOuSSTSs Coming toward the shopping district down town the first signs are at the 1 junction of Fulton street and Flatbush avenue Thereafter there are signs in couples at spaces of block, and in | about the center of each block, to the corner of Fulton and Smith streets, where there is single station for up. town traffic. A half block away is q single station for the down town cars at Fulton and Pearl streets. 1 Each station is denoted by metal sign clamped to pillar of the ele- yated road, on which is printed Tn large type the words Trolley Sta- tion" The signs are eight feet from the ground and visible by all on the sidewalk for at least block in each direction.
 Passengers who wish to board car must stand at one of the signs. The cars will only be stopped opposite 8 station to let passengers off.
 Similar stations are in use in Bos- ton on the trolley lines, but only i'll the outskirts of the city, where they are placed at intervals of about two blocks. There the plan has been pop ular and it enables the cars to make much better time than when the mo- tormen had to stop on signal at the corners.
 When the Brooklyn women who are n the country get back and begin shopping, the new plan will have it's real SaSt

The wonders of the new discovery
 for examining and treating the sick and afflicted have been investigated by a great many people since the Radio Chemic Physicians located their
 suite of offices in the Commercial Building, 11O Bank street. A laroe number have been benefited and cured by the scientific and conscientious treatments of these skilled and ex- perienced specialists. Others, who would have liked to secure the ser. vices of the X-Ray Doctors, have been prevented by the throngs of people waiting for treatments. To such as have never been under the care of the Radio-Chemic Physicians, those who nave been examined but failed to take treatment are also included, is ex- tended an invitation to come to the office within the next two weeks for gfatuitous X-Ray examination, and In addition free trial treatment. No matter what the nature of the disease is, they will give you their services absolutely without charge or compen- sat1on on any day excepting Sunday
