PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR.

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms OF grip this year
are very distressing and leave the sys-
tenn in a run down condition, particu-
Iarly the kidneys which seem to suffer
most, as every victim complains Of
lame back and urinary troubles which
should not be neglected. as these dan
ger signals often lead to more serious
sickness, such as dreaded Bright's Dis
ease. Local druggists report a large
sale on DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root which
80 many people say soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys after an at
tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and,
being an herbal compound, has a gen.
tie healing effect on the kidneys, which

In Maet0lincks Blue Bird" little
Tyltyl goes to some far-off heavenly
place to learn that love abides with
him at home. There he meets Mother
Love. He says he wishes to stay with
her always, where she looks so beau
tiful to him. She answers: But it's
just the same thing; l am down be-
low, we are all down below. :.
You have come up here only to real
ize and to learn, once for all, how to
see me when you see me down be-
low. Do you understand, Tyl-
ty1, dear? You believe your
self in heaven; but heaven is wher-
ever you and kiss each other. /.
There are not two mothers, and you
have no other. Every child
has only one; and it is always the
same one and always the most beau
tifu1; but you have to know her and
to know how to look.

$500, 900 to State In Inheritance Tax.

Judge NJ. s. Sheridan ordered that
the sum of $39,97131 be paid by the
heirs of the estate of w. H. Tilford,
the New York f1nancier, as the inheri-
lance tax for 10000 shares in the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad,
a Wisconsin corporation. This amount
was reached by stipulation between
Attorney General Levi H. Bancroft,
his assistant Russell Jackson, State
Treasurer A. H. Dahl, Public Admin
istratOr Rollin B. Mallory and Thomas
H. Spence of Quarles, Spence &
Quarles, representing the estate of
Mr. Tilford.
Attorney General Bancroft expressed
satisfaction at the agreement reached
on the states claim, which, he said,
was all that the state was entitled to.
The recent settlements of inheritance
tax claims are an indication of how
important the tax is to the state in
adding to it's revenues. Since the LIST
of January, under the direction of the
attorney generals department settle
ments with four estates have added
about $685., 900 to the states revenues,
and the total income from the inheri-
lance tax this year by April 1 will ex-
coed 100000, Mr.. Bancroft says.
From the Kennedy estate, New
York, the state receives 1855, 900; from
the Simmons and Jessup estates of
Kenosha, $4,000 and $4,000, re-
spectively, and now from the Tilford,
New York. estate about $4,000. The
Marshall Field estate has still to pay.
This is a very large estate and large
part of it is in Chicago & Milwaukee,
Chicago & Northwestern, Omaha and
other Wisconsin corporations. 1t is
understood that the attorney generals
department is already engaged on the
states Inheritance tax claim against
this estate.

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM

According to a statement before a

regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
w. Kerr of Harrisburg, Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the So
ciety to be more liberal in it's contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity, SIT 200 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un-
noticed except by a few, who saw the
pertinence and logic OF thu remark.
