From an editorial in the
Chenille Democrat we are
reminded that there is a du-
ty before us, and that is, to
give to our readers, some l.
dea of the workings of the
new Republican laws. We
have drifted along and were
compelled to let these fellows
take their course, and now
are somewhat enabled
60 judge of their consequens-
es. From the County Clerks
records we find that last
year che County expanded
about $4,000 for books pre-
scribed by law as necessary
for the installation of the
new uniform accounting sys-
tenn. This system is now
discredited and almost de-
funct. The people of this
county will pay dog tax
this year to the amount of
1900 dollars and license tax
es, which go in to the state
treasury, to the amount of
600 dollars. Fhe total a.
mount of these three items,
alone, is $500 dollars. The
Democrat says of Gllmer,
which may be truthfully said
of Calhoun that "This list of
new taxes might be prolong-
ed indefinitely, but ten years
ago the people of this county
were paying none of these
taxes-they were buying no
expensive accounting books,
they were paying no dog tax
and the state license tax was
comparatively nothing. In
those days people INDUCED
In the innocent pleasures like
hunting and fishing without
first calling upon the tax ex-
tracter. Even the bride
groom is halted at the alter
for an extra dollar, and it is
a matter of time until the
candidate for the other coun-
try will be charged a fee for
permission to depart this
life. The state has gone tax
mad. Hundreds of new Of
fees have been created. sala-
ries have been doubled and
the state plunged into such
q willful and wanton extrav-
igance that the people are
reduced to that extremity
where they merely stand and
deliver"

About Sleeves

Although the long sleeves. which
are the style this season. are pretty
and a welcome change from the short
full sleeves which were the style for
so many seasons. there is one draw
back 10 them-namely: That they
give one a narrow effect across the
shoulders Women with narrow shout
ders and fat chest look extremely
narrow and thin in these tight sleeves.
To a small extent this appearance may
be done away with.
Most Of the sleeves have a slight
fullness at the top Of the arm. and
when gathering this fullness stitch
the top OF the sleeve with two rows
OF machine stitching about a quarter
OF an inch apart. When sewing the
sleeve into the waist sew along the
line of the first stitching and leave the
other row To show at the top OF the
sleeve. This will give a pretty tail
ored finish TO the top of the sleeve
and will hold the top of the sleeve
firmly up so that il will give an inch
or so on each side TO the width OF the
shoulders You will be surprised to
note how this adds to the appearance
Of a waist

SHOWER sATH as TONIC.
Beneficial for Those Physically Able
70 Take Them.


Not everyone is strong enough to
stand a shower bath. but when taken
properly It has a tonic effect
The best test whether it is beneficial
or harmful is whether one is in a glow
afterwards OF feels creepy for several
hours.
The shock is not good for anyone
with a weak heart. and no one who is
not well should use a shower except
by the advice OF a physician.
AS a rule. the best time for a cold
shower is on rising in the morning:
the system is strongest then.
Do not stay under the shower too
long, minute Is quite long enough.
unless one has exceptional strength.
IL is well TO prepare for the cold
shower by dashing cold water on you
first or by taking a tepid shower and
gradually getting IL colder.
Never take a cold shower when chill
ly. The cold feeling is q sign that
your physical condition is not up TO
the mark
Follow a shower by hard rubbing
and by few physical exercises. Some
women go back TO bed for FIVE minutes
after the bath before dressing. The
rest overcomes any shock from the
cold water.
Do not stoop forward unduly in tax
ing shower. IL Is not good for the
spine to receive the first shock OF cold
at the base OF the brain or between
the shoulders
