On the steeple of an old Universal
list church In Bath, Me-, there is a
wooden figure of an angel. 1t is not
a remarkably fine specimen OF art. and
has always been somewhat laughed
about. especially because of its high
heeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer re-
calls the story that former pastor OF
the North Congregational church once
accosted a devoted Universalist with
the question: MIR. Raymond, did you
ever see an angel with high-heeled
shoes on its feet?' Why, no." an
swered Mr.. Raymond, Il can't say that
! ever did; but did you ever see one

sion recommends the adjustment
of the contract labor system in state
penal institutions and that all the pris-
oners be worked on state account
The report of the commission, now
completed and ready for submission
to the legislature of 1911, favors such
industries as can be operated by the
state with profit to the state, and In
this connection suggests the manufac-
ture of shoes. The binder Irvine indus
try is commended and an enlarge
ment of the Jackson plant recommend
ed. 1t is urged that the manufacture
of furniture might be taken up by the
state, but believed that these ques-
tons should be decided by the board
Of control of each institution rather
than by the legislature.
Other recommendation in the re-
port are: Establishment of state
farms for raising produce for prison
use convicts to be worked under the
so-called honor system" allow each
prisoner a small amount from his
earnings; require illlterate convicts to
pursue a common school course while
in prison; abolish stone breaking

when my first baby was six

break out again and it. spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. | sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake OF Cuticura Soap and box OF
after using them he began to improve.
He began TO take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. | don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura

Kuhn Advocates New Tax system.

In a paper by Attorney General
Franz Kuhn, read before the Michi-
gan Association of Prosecuting Attor
neys, the states chief legal adviser
presented some views on taxation
which are not In accord with the
system now In use in Michigan. but
which met with the unanimous and
hearty approval of the attorneys as
sembled.
The proposition that Mr.. Kuhn
made, and which he declares that
the state must soon meet, Is, the sep
aration of state and county finances.
He advanced the idea that any sys-
tenn that seeks to maintain an equit'
able system of uniform taxation
throughout the state must necessari-
~ fail because OF the innumerable
bases of valuation in vogue and the
inability OF central equalizing board
to arrive at an absolutely just valua-
ton In all cases.
The attorney general would leave
the question of local taxation entire
ly In the hands of county officers and
maintain a state government by the
corporation tax, now credited to the
primary school fund. which permits
the accumulation of unnecessary funds
in certain districts that cannot be
used in any legitimate way.
