MAY vACCINATE SAILORS.
Typhoid, scourge of Service, May Be
Avoided.

Washington. July 2O.-Following in
the wake Of the army, the navy depart
ment has under consideration the ques-
ton of vaccinating all recruits to the
navy and marine corps against typhoid
fever, the scourage of the military
service
The navy has a typhoid problem on
its hands at the present time at the
Norfolk recruiting station. where "A
men have been stricken with the dis
sease. To guard against its spread, all
of the 1900 men at the station are be-
ing vaccinated.
When the Atlantic fleet goes south
next spring for maneuvers, it is planned
to Vaccinate the entire personnel of the
vessels with a view to determining
whether it Will insure immunity. If so,
the vaccination viii be exte 1dsd
through the service.
While a decision is yet in the distant
future, the subject is receiving deep
study. AS soon as the naval medical
corps is convinced of the efficacy of
the incubation, it probably will be
made compulsory for recruits at least.
The directing doctors of the arrry all
ready are firm believers in the process
and recruits secured by the war de-
partment are now being vaccinated-

why, when I thought of it that
way, / just couldn't see how I ever
got short and impatient even when
father asked me something four times
in one evening or when mother insist
ed on getting the girls names all
mixed in. It just seemed incredible
that I could ever have heen anything
but patient"
If we stopped to think much about
them, most of the unkind things We
all do would seem really incredible to
us, wouldn't they?
It's all because we don't stop to
consider. to put ourselves in their
place, ito think"

Intentional kindness, but-well. let's

Much evil is wrought by want of
thought
AS well as by want of heart"

N. Y. RETURNS TO DIRECT TAX.
Last Legislature DepIetes state Funds
by Large Appropriations.

Albany. N. Y, July 2O.-The state
of New York is to return to a direct
tax for the first time in decade, ac-
cOrding to a tentative program agreed
upon by Governor Dix and the legisla-
tive leaders. The tax to be levied will
be six-tenths of a mill and it is EST
mated that it will result in an in
creased revenue of about s6.OOO,00O.
Heretofore all the state expenditures
have been betrayed by the liquor taxes
and other indirect revenues.
It is believed that the increased
revenue provided by the proposed tax
will be sufficient to wipe out the deficit
resulting from the appropriations
made by the last legislature and give
the state a working surplus. The bill
providing for the direct tax will be in
trOduced at once and pushed to pass
age before the legislature adjourns.

PIGS ARE SLOW no TATTEN.
Boston Garbage Plan to Be Abandoned
Because of Expense.

New Haven, Conn, July 2O.=The
system of municipal collection of gar
bage, as was tried out here for the
last six months, has proved a rather
costly venture. The total expense has
been at the rate of $4,000 year, the
greater portion of which presents in
chased at the suggestion of the city
fathers with the thought that they
could be fed on the garbage collected
and after being fattened, disposed of
at a profit.
But the pig idea has been a decided
failure, and there seems little indica-
ton of the expected profits. OF the
money thus far expended only one
fifth has gone for the actual collection
of garbage, the care of the pigs ac-
counting for the balance.

How to Remove A
Bad Completion



Cosmetics can never really help
poor complexion; often they are posi-
lively harmful. The sensible. rational
way is to actually remove the thin
veil of sitting, half-dead scarf skin
from the face and give the fresh, Wig
orous and beautiful young skin un-
derneath a chance to show itself and
to breathe.
This is best done in a very simple
way, by merely applying mercolized
wax at night like cold cream, and
washing it off in the morning. Good
mercolized wax can be obtained from
any we'll stocked druggist 1t absorbs
the disfiguring cuticle gradually and
harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural
complexion. OF course this also takes
with it all such facial b1emishes as
red blotches, tan. moth patches, sal
lowness, liver spots, pimples. etc. As
a freckie remover and general com
plexion beautider this old-fashioned
remedy is uneqUaled.

Clintwood and told his friends
that he was going to Stratton,
about fifteen miles distant to
