plication 10 that hoard OF any taxpay-
er OF the state. yet we fail to notice
n single instance IN which Mr.. Helm
has requested review in any particu.

property. The fact is that Helm and
lot OF others who follow his banner are
not seeking the equal taxation OF pro-
perty but immunity from taxation Tor
certain kinds OF property. II they
were honest In their cry for equal tax
ation they would be working their
jaws overtime crying for a review by

Instead Of seeking such review they
are remarkably silent.

unkept after few days of cleaning
wooden garments and household articles
that have been used through the winter,
while the scalp will be unfavorabIy af-

cleansing entails.
To protect the hands a pair of old,
heavy mems gloves, large enough to per-
NIT of the free use of the hands, should
be worn during the housekeeping period
Should the gloves be soied inside, as
sometimes happens, they must be cleaned
by dipping into gasoline. The kid may
be Streaked on the outside from such
bath but soil within will have been re-
moved. Care must be taken that the fluid
is kept from heat during this cleansing.
Another point to be particular about
with the gloves is that ones own hands
shall be clean before putting them on
for once the fingers are grimy the moist
ure which the kid generates quickly takes
off the soil, so that when the gloves are

If there are nO'mens gloves some made

by truckmen, can be bought chea ply
These gloves wash and wear long time
To protect the hair and scalp a cloth

head so all the hair is covered. This is
