Sweets Are Great Baby Savers

The young, unspoiled human
animal has a liking for sugar Just
as it has for sunlight, for fresh air,
for play, for padding in the surf
and plunging in the stream or for
food when it is hungry and sleep
when it is tired and, subject, of
course, to reasonable limitations,
as wholesome as any of the others.
This is precisely what our special
lists in children's diseases and

next to the Punishment of starchy
foods, gruels and paps from the
nursery and the substitution of
pure, sweet milk, few things have
done more, to increase the vigor
and happiness of modern children
and to cut down our disgraceful in

THOUGHTS 6Y THE WAY

Since his demise, the public press
has been full Of feelsome praise of
+. H. Hartman. There is a saying
"Say nothing of the dead unless it is
good. The deceased had his good
as we'll as his bad qualities the same
as other individuals and the least
said the better.
A lot of political barnacles hay
met at the State Fair this week to
play the old game of nominating
themselves for office. Some of them
are good, some Indifferent and others
positively bad. The people should
give the persistent office holders
grand heave.
| John Strange of Neenah, the pre-
sent lieutenant governor, it is re-
ported will be candidate for the
republican nomination for governor
at the next primary election. Els
chances for nomination are not roseate,
for the reason that neither the pro-
gressives nor reactionists have any
use for him. He is an ultra prohib-
tive tariffite and out with the pro.
gressionists, and his past factiunal
Affiliations gives him no claim upon
the resctIonists. He had better con-

William E. Curtis quotes Hannibal
Haml,n as saying that Andrew
Johnson was intoxicated when he
took the oath of vice president of
the United States. Why recall it
Mr.. Curtis? Johnson has slept with
his fathers 10. these many years and
his fraiitles, if he had any. have
been forgiven and forgotten by the
American people. Our public men
in the past have not been perfect:
neither will they be in the future, and
after they are dead and gone it is
better to spread the mantle of charity
over their fsilinas, place the hand
over our own mouths and remember
our on imperfections.
How mony Americans who have
visited Europe during the season and

IMPROVEMENT COMPANY OFFER TO SELL IT'S WATER sNsTEM WILL sE SUBMITTED TO couN- GIL MEETING.

DOUGLAS. Arix.. Aug. 25.-(SpeciaD There win be . special meeting of the city council tomorrow night for the purpose of considering matters in connection with the proposed mun.ci- pal ownership of the water system of Douglas. At the meeting will be sub mitted the offer of the Douglas Inn provement company to the city. It cannot be stated. oficially. or definite iy the exact price which will be. placed on the plant. but last Spring when an offer was made to the council for the same purpose, but never opened. it became known that the price named then was $225.o00. so :t may be safely assumed that the same amount will be named in the offer to be submitted tomorrow night.
 Just what the council will think of this price cannot be stated now, bu, there is an opinion that il would be well for the council to make this p1r- chase and go ahead with the nun cipal ownership proposition as proposed.
 It is also expected that several bids will be opened at the council meeting conta ming offers for the purchase of the proposed bond issue.

 Phoenix, Ariz. To the Honorable Board of Super yisors. Cochise County. Arizona. Gentlemen:-
 I enclose herewith:
 A schedule of the taxable property of your county as equalized by the Territorial Board of Equalization for the year 1909.
 A statement of the rate of taxes to be levied and collected in your county for Territorial purposes for the year 1909.
 A printed copy of a resolution adopted by the Board at its August meeting relating to the assessment of non-producing patented mines, and letter from the auditor direct ing that a tax levy of fifteen cents be made on each $100.00 of taxable property within your County for the year 1909 as Territorial Road Tax.

interested in the result of such an ap- peal. Therefore you wish to know if the Territory will defray its propor.
 ton of expense of such an appeal. An examination of the socalied Back Tax Law" reveals the follow. ing provisions:
 It is the duty of the Tax Collector of each County to enforce the lien of the Territory for unpaid taxes. To
 do this he is instructed to commence action in the proper court. In order to commence this action. he may, with the consent of the Supervisors
 appoint an attorney to institute the
 suit. The attorney is t3 receive as sole compensation . certain amount. or per cent. of the tax collected by the suit. and this per cent Is to be taxed as costs. The Clerk of the Court. sheri6, and printer are to re ceive che game fees as in other civil cases. all to be taxed as costs in the action.
 There Is a provision in the law that If the property is not of sufficent value in the mind of the Supervisors,
 to bring the amount of taxes to- gether with the costs of action. that then the Supervisors can compromise with the owner for a smaller sum. or can direct that suit on such prop erty be omitted.
 The tax collector for his services for bringing the action shall receivs per cent of the amount collected by way of fees.
 It would seem from the above alone, that the tax collector would have to advance all court and other fees uec- essary to bring and prosecute ac- tions for the collection of back taxes. II he uses care and proper judgment, it will be impossible for him to lose any money on the transaction. ,his because if the property is no. worth the amount of taxes thereon, toye,ner with the costs and fees provided, the Supervisors will compromise the case. or order the suit omitted.
 But the statutes go further, and absolutely enacts that the meaning of the statutes is such as have in
