1t doesn't seem to matter so much
after all how much you tax the rich
so long as they have the power to set
the price on what the rest of us use
in the way of necessities. Income or
what not, if the rich are taxed it will
come out of the pockets of the con-
sumner just the same. Why not go the
whole distance and make all income
over a certain amount revert to the
state or government and use the tax
thus secured to take care of the asy-.
lums and other public institutions? If
we are to have class legislation along
this line, why not remember that an
axe will knock EN- down better than a
tack hammer.

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
CASH VALUE OF AIR.

1t Is possible for man to live
three weeks without food, three
days without. water, and three
minutes without air.
This simple statement of
well known fact should make it
clear that air, fresh, pure air, is
the most important element in
the world for the sustaining of
life. 1t is also equally important
that in order to perform the best
labor, to do the best work in any
occupation, human beings must
be pIentifuIIy supplied with pure
air.
There are shops, stores, and
factories in every city where the
conditions as to ventilation and
light are bad. 1t would be econo-
my on the part of the owners to
spend money literally to improve
these conditions. The returns on
the investment would come in
more and better work from the
employees. No employer of labor
can afford to overlook these inn
portant considerations.

A BAD PRACTICE.

Every now and then we read in the
papers where some one, most general
ly a child, has been made deathly sick
or been poisoned by taking patent
medicine thrown into the yards of the
people unfortunately by an adver-
Using promoter. The Herald believes
in advertising and would throw no re-
strictions around any kind of legiti-
mate advertising, but we do contend
that the practice of throwing medi-
cine into yards to be picked up by
little tots and swallowed by them is
a dangerous method of introducing
such medicine to the public. If such
methods are to be continued an ordi-
nance should at least require that the
samples be delivered in person to
some adult member of family, to be
