less adverse effect on business.
1T would be made plain to the bust

was only an ~expedient, adopted that
congress might have time to work out
the best possible scheme of taxation,
one which would produce sufficient but

would be equally distributed. And,
more important still, in order that the

they will not have to be overhauled next

will raise is being determined attention
will be turned to the effeeting of econ

and dissipation of public moneys,
That when those two things have
been accomplished and the needs of the

His journey led him to the sources of

country altogether.
The entire mountain on the north
side Of the canyon at point -
miles from Santa Paula had slipped
down across the stream. The creek
must have been a couple of days in

into the towns reservoir 1t was more

Boston.-Dr. John Fair, head of
Boston's newest cult, the New Life"

secret of how to laugh at old age, and
how to exist not only for 100 but for
1000 ears without pain, evil or sick
ness.
He ,tys 100000 people have enlist
ed under his banner. Here are his
rules 70: living to be 1000 years old
Dress always in white. White is
the prime principle of life. / believe
there should be universal law max
ing it crime for any person to go
attired Ia black or dark apparel.
'Do nat think of death; do not be-
lieve in seath.
Live principally upon vegetables
and nuts. Abjure meat, milk, oil and
flesh of all kinds. as well as all slim
ulants.
"Sleep eight hours daily, exercise
eight houss and work eight hours.
"A mans most critical hour in the
day is the 80 minutes before and after
meals. He should absolutely stop
work half hour before each meal
and must not resume work until a
half hour after each meal.
Each person should be alone for a
half hour each day, not necessarily to
sleep, but 20 get his mind in condi-
ton of natural and perfect repose.
"Sleep with your bedroom window
open every night all your lifetime. AL
ways have draught in your room.
"A daily menu | would suggest
would be as follows:
"Breakfass-Honey, toast, rarely
coffee, and at long intervals an egg.
"Dinner--.A bowl of soup made from
nuts or celery or potatoes, preferably
nuts; an apple or an orange, with, for
variety, lettuce or radishes.
"Supper-Apple pie, fruit.

my faith not 100 or 200, but even
