Bv Aoreelment,

In some cities if manufacturers had ben given so large an incerase in their assessments as was agreed upon amicably in Derby, they would have threatened to move their industries elsewhere. The new figures in Derby, therefore, indicate an advance in pub lie spirit which is more than com mensurate with the tax increase Probably one secret of the increase being accepted without open ruption lies in the fact that it was made pro- portional all along the line instead of one concern being boosted and an- other let go.-Ansonia Sentinel

Good Advice.


 A good deal of space. in periodical literature is taken up with telling us how to live in the right way for health and happiness. The advice is almost always good. Most of us know what we should do to be healthy and happy The reason that we are not ance, but indifference or inability to live up to our knowledge. For exam
 pie, there is the subject of good cheer at table. We are told that if we are cheerful and free from worry the appetite will be stimulated and good health will be encouraged. Laugh and grow fat" is the long and short of it. How true it is, and yet how im- possible of attainment by effort. If a man does not naturally laugh, if cheerfulness is not a part of his habit. if he is not actually free from worry, how vain these recommendations are.
