ADVOCATED
FOR TOWN SCHOOL
New State School Law Adds
Additional Expense Upon
HagerstoWn Board.
INCREASES THE TAX LEVY,
BY CONDUCTING HIGH SCHOOL
JOINTLY BETWEEN TOWNSHIP
AND TOWN, TAX LEVY COULD
BE LOWERED FORTY CENTS.

HagerStown, Ind, March 1S.-That
some Change will soon De made in the
management and business policy of
the HagerstOWn schools. Is now al
most foregone conclusion. The law
passed requiring that teachers shall
receive more pay and that only Ger
tain number of teachers shall be IN
charge of one school is the cause for
the present consideration of some
changes. In order that the Hager6-
town high school shall maintain her
place as a commissioned high school
of Indiana, it will be necessary that
the number of teachers shall be ill.,
creased. 1t will take 81 900 more to
care for the schools in the future, I'M
der the new law, than at present.
The proposition to place the schools
under the management of the town
ship trustee, has been seriously CON
sidered Another plan that has been
proposed is to conduct the schools un-
der the joint management of the town
snip trustee and school board. thereby
allowing both country and town schOl-
ars to share equally the privilege OF
the schools, the expenses for maintain
ence being met by school tax which
would be equally divided between
county and town. Should a contract
of this kind be entered into, the
school tax in the corporation would be
lowered forty cents, while that in the
country would be raised a proportional
amount. Under a plan of this kind it
is proposed to allow the school build
ings and grounds TO remain the prop
erty of the town. One of two things
will nave to be done if these plans
are adopted. The schools will have
to be turned over to the management
of township trustee, or conducted un-
der the joint manage ment of town
board and trustee, or cut the present
term of school in town, down to six
months each year.

though, that so many appear clean and

See that bull-terrier there? His cellar

owner, but the man named told me
last night he doesn't own a dog, re-
marked deputy township assessor in
telling OF his trials.
The troubles of the asse ssOrs to To-
cate the owners of dogs are many and
because of the subterfuges resOrted TO-
will hn IN ha nf a
mines to escape taxation. The major
ity Of the dog owners do not under
stand the laws relating to the taxation
of the pets. 1t is known however
that if they own Il dog they are sup
posed to pay for the privilege. The
first of the amended dog tax laws pro
Vides that the owner is liable for the
tax as soon as the dog becomes three
months old, no matter what the sea
son of the year, nor if ownership were
acquired after the assessor made his
rounds. A fraction of a year is re-
sarded as all entire year.
The tax on each male dog is 81 and
on each female dog So. The assessor
collects the tax and furnishes the own
er with a receipt. The receipts are
not transferable and as often as the
dog changes owners a new receipt is
obligatory on the new owner For vio-
lation of the law, the owner is liable
to fine of from s. to $40. A false
statement as to sex, or harboring a
dog without reporting it is punishable
by fine of 500. If you harbor a
strange dog by feeding or concealing
it, and fail to pay the tax, you are
liable to the 500 fine
1t is the duty of the assessor to
keep all dog tax records and make a
true report to the trustee. Any fail
ure on his part makes him liable to a
fine of $40.

remarkable how much pleasure Turks
find in visiting a famous spring in the

else than drink carafe after carafe of

Hot Drinks For Thirst.

1t is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary TO relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as rule, increase
the feverish condition Of the mouth
and stomach and so create thirst. Ex-
perience shows it to be fact that hot
drinks relieve the thirst and cool off
the body when it Is in an abnormally
heated condition better than ice cold
drinks. 1t is far better and safer to
avoid the use of drinks below 60 de-
grees In fact higher temperature is
to be preferred, and those who are
much troubled with thirst will do well
to try the advantages to be derived
from hot drinks instead Of cold fluids,
to which they have been accustomed.
Hot drinks also have the advantage
of aiding digestion instead of causing
debility of the stomach and bowels.

Fulton, whom he found in the cabiu,

place:

In the middle ages night robes. as a
general thing, were unknown luxuries
Under the Tudors royalty and no
bility had them made of silk or vel

no washing WAS necessary"
A night robe of black satin bound
with black tatfeta and edged with vel
vet of the same color was dantily
fashioned for Anne BoIpvn.
More luxurious still was one owned
by Queen Bess. 1t was of black vel
vet, fur lined. and greatly offset by
flowing borders of silk lace. And in
1868 her majesty gave orders that
George Brodigman should deliver
''threescore and six best sable skynnes,

years later her highness orders the
delivery of twelve yards of purple
velvet, friezed on the back syde, with
white and russell silke." for a night
gown for herself and also orders the
delivery of fourteen yards of murrv
damask for the ''makvnge of night
gowne" for some one else.
Night gowns for ladies of a LATER
period were called 'nyght vailS.' In
Queen Anne's time it was the fashion
TO wear them over the customary dress
in the streets in the daytime, when out
on pleasure walk. And. as was fit
