the approach of old age is to maintain a
vigorous digestion. This can be done by
eating only food suited to your age and
occupation, and when any disorder ofthe
stomach appears take a dose of Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to cor
rect it. If you have a weak stomach or
are troubled with indigestion, you will
find these Tablets to be just what you

INSURANCE RATES JUMP.

down a little deeper into their pock-

that or go uninsured. which few win
care to do. II you want to buy suit

shop are too high you can go to an
other. But il you want to buy insur-
ance when you secure the rate OF one

And in the requirements OF the in

applied for insurance when an assist

than to comply with his orders. But.

Educational Conditions.

From the Ohio state Journal.
'rwo things" Dr. Thwing declares, ITO
be said absolutely are these. The boy
who lacks intellectual interests or the
boy who lacks a strong will should not
go TO college Dr. Thwing is one of the
leading educators of this country, and is
also thoughtful and conservative man.
A wholly different theory operates in
concluding upon collegiate life In most
cases, for the college is depended upon
to provide these conditions People look
10 the college TO furnish the intellectual
interests" and the strong will' But
here is "A great educator, who has spent
his life tn observing the fortunes OF boys
and girls. who says, inferentlalIy, that the
college doesn't do anything of the sort
It is the ability to pay, the social posi-
tion. the relief from labor, that most
often determines the college course. There
is no doubt that, among those thus con-
ditioncd many youths whose hearts are
warmed by the aspirations FOR better
things, and who take a college course be-
cause they love learning and the higher
purpose that q is apt to inspire, do not
belong TO the class which DR.. Thwing
would prosclbe from college walls. A
quotation Of this SOFT is valuable, not so
much TO explain the disappointments that
parents have to suffer as to inform the
boy himself of the conditions which con-
front him. and 10 let him know that It is
not the occasion that educates. but his
own brave impulse, and IL ne hasn't that

Some or the most lovable and best

il is that justifable and righteous art
fulness may be resorted to. As. for in

a devoted wife and mother. in Iowa:
This spring my daughter. who is a
teacher. became convinced that coffee
was doing her harm. as IL caused dis
tress and belching after eating. She
felt that she needed a warm drink in
the morning but disliked hot water or
milk. Then our daily use of Grape
Nuts suggested Postum.
For some time my husband. who
has been a user OF coffee from his
youth had been more than usually
troubled with sleeplessness and ner-
vousness and I felt that Postum might
be helpful to him. The question was.
how to persuade them TO leave off
drinking coffee and try Postum.
against which they had repeatedly ex-
pressed prejudice. ! resolved to try
an experiment and make the test.
Without acquainting them with the
fact / made Postum according to di
rections, but added a teaspoonful OF
good coffee. l poured il out with
some misgivings, but was delighted TO
see that no one could tell from its ap-
pearance that il was not rich. strong
coffee. It's use was continued for a
week with tho coffee addition. then
that was gradually withdrawn. until
only the pure Postum remained. and
still the change had not been detected
Two things were very noticeable
however. that my daughter had begun
TO rapidly improve I'm health her dys-
pepsia left. and my husband was en-
joying sweet refreshing sleep.
when I ventured to tell them what
had done. he asked for return To

COLLECTING TAXES.

CEvERAL Of our contemporaries are
- discussing as an astonishing in
cident the fact that the collector OF
Milford hundred has settled in full
with the Levy Court having collected
all the taxes on his duplicate
We admit that for Delaware this is
extraordinary. yet to collect taxes is
very easy thing If the collector pro-
ceeds along business lines and lays
aside friendship and refuses to listen
to personal appeals
We know OF another man who WAS
asked a few years ago to become coll
lector for certain DOWNS dis
trict. He accepted, saying that he
should collect an the taxes and collect
them promptly. The usual notices
were posted, but little attention was
paid to them. Then one day he ad-
vertised the property Of a rather prom
inent person and was prepared to sell
il. when the taxes were paid. OF
course everybody heard OF H.. and on
The next day he was advertised to sit
for collections the money poured In so
fast that he couldn't take It all and
give receipts. He became tax re-
ceiver. and turned I'm promptly an the
money charged TO him.
But see what happened He was not
reappolnted because he had made hini-
self unpopular by doing his duty His
neighbors did not want taxes collected
that way. They preferred that coll
lector should be put to endless trouble
and then turn in a big delinquent list.
which would mean fewer public i'm
provements or higher tax rate than
absolutely necessary.
The diniculty throughout the state.
and right here in Wilmington. is that
the people have not been educated up
10 the proper standard in the matter
Of paying taxes. Untold sums be-
come delinquent because the proper
means is not employed TO compel pay
ment. To make an exception of poor
man puts little greater burden on
other poor men. and keeps the tax
rate beyond what it should be.
The way to collect taxes is TO offer a
rebate good to certain date. Then
for a period a fine is attached and al
another date If taxes are unpaid the
property IS advertised for sale. This
would make tax receivers, insure the
payments OF all moneys due the treas
ury, and make prompt returns.
Collectors should not only be allowed
to enforce payment at a certain time
they should be made do ton penalty
Of losing their positions.
