THE CONVENTION OF ASSESSORS.

The States, in commenting on
the convention of assessors held
in New Orleans Tuesday. says:
"These are matters which
should receive the closest atten-
ton on the part of our legisla-
tors. There should be no IN
certainty surrounding the result
of any experiment with the tax
adjustment, but every fact should
be inquired into diligently to the
end that no unnecessary burden
should be placed upon the back
of the people. 1t ought to be de-
termined with definiteness ane
precision just what power th'
Legislature possesses when Il
comes to dealing with speeia
taxes upon which bonded or othef
obligations are predIcated, ane
how the proposed reform woulu
affect municipal and parochiai
taxes which are usually far heav
Ter than State taxes.
awhile it is desirable that the
State should be able to make Il
proper showing to the world IN
the matter of taxable values, the
end sought, desirable as it may be.
is not sufficiently important to
compensate for unnecessarily
heavy taxation. Increased as
sessment values and correspond
ingly reduced tax rates would
constitute a splendid advertise
ment of Louisiana to the outside
world; but the two should 60 60
gether. The reduction of tax
rates should not apply to all
species and forms of taxation,
and not merely to one kind, leaf-
ing the burden where it is already
heaviest just twice as heavy as it
is at present.
This question is not one that
can be settled by conventions ana
resolutions. There are certain
facts and conditions existing
which must be taken into account.
certain perplexing questions that
must be met ana solved, and
certain obstacles which will have
to be removed, without the pre-
vious doing of which increased as
sessments must inevitably mean
CORRESPONDENCE increased bur-
dens, together with possible rot
Gus profiigacy in the disburse-
ment of the peoples money"

Proud stories of the men in gray
Who fought their rights to save.

Who honored e'er win be,
The men who fought with jackson.
The men who followed Lee.

Forget the men in gray.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible scaIy Humor In Patches All
Over the Body-skIn Cracked and
BIeeding-Cured by cutIcura.


IT was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. 1t was In patches
all over my body. / used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes Of ONT
ment and two bottles Of Resolvent-
In thirty days was completely cured
and l think permanently, as 1t was:
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance In red spots,
generally forming circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size OF q
silver dollar of sound flesh. In short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale Of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
It was worse on my arms and limbs,
although 1t was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. II let the.
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. w. M. Chichester, Hutch
inson, Kan, April 20, 1906

Porch Table Covers.

Dainty and fluffy is not what the
best sort of porch table covers must
be. 1t may be attractive, novel, of
artistic colors and designs, but there
must be practicableness about 1t
which will make 1t better fitted for
its outdoor life" One which is in
good style is square of cream-col-
ored canvas or cotton etamine, with
a border of Powered cretonne, which
is eight or ten inches wide. Gre
tonne or some linen art ware is often
found in some dark Egyptian design.
This makes an effective center, with
a plain border of some harmonizing
color. Pink ticking is the material
Of another cover. Large roses are cut
from cretonne and appliqued around
the edge, forming an irregular border.
If small black wash galloon is used
in this applique, more character Is
given to the cover.

USES OF TURPENTINE.

There are few houses that are not
familiar with some of the numerous
uses Of turpentine, and as its odor is
clean and wholesome 1t has the ad.
vantage over the many remedies
whose odors are offensive.
Turpentine and soap will remove ink
stains from muslin.
A few drops added to the water in
which clothes are boiled will whiten
them.
It will exterminate cockroaches II
sprinkled in their haunts.
Moths will leave IL it is sprinkled
about, as they dislike 1t.
Pitch, wheel grease, and tar stains
can be quickly removed If the spot Is
first covered with lard, then soaked
with turpentine. Scrape off all the
loose surface dirt, sponge clean with
turpentine and rub gently till dry.
A few drops Of turpentine on wool
en- cloth will clean tan shoes very
nicely.
Clean gilt frames with a sponge
moistened with turpentine.
Carpets can be cleaned and the
colors restored by going over occa
sionally with a broom dipped into
warm water in which has been added
little turpentine.
An equal mixture of turpentine ant
linseed oil will remove white marks OF
furniture caused by water.
Clean out closets and bureaus witt
strong turpentine water. 1t is goot
preventive against moths.
For cramps, apply cloths wrung OF,
of hot turpentine water.
When threatened with pneumonia
rub the lungs with turpentine and ap
ply hot flannels.

From CLYDE Fiteh's scrapbook.

Clyde Fitch, at dinner that he
gave in honor of a noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books a western criticism on Hamlet
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There Is too much Ginning in this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tons and detectives.
"In the hands of skillful play
wright detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
"The moral Of the piece Is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is bad example to the rising
generation.
"Our advice to the author is more
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and a rat.
