CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken In with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience Of a Kansas City
mother is a case In point:
II was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought could not do with
out 1t. But found at last it was do

troubled with dizziness, spots before

which was added, two years later, a
chronic sour stomach.

and almost from the beginning. 1t. too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking 1t from me!

State AUDITOR
SOUNDS WARNING
Says There are Too Many
Costly Boards
EXPENDITURES RAPID INCREASE
Advises Retrenchment Along Other
Lines-Favors Quadrennial APP
praisement System-Tax Levy
Valuation and Population.

CollImIbus.-The necessity for econ
omy on the part of the present general
assembly was emphasized by State Au-
dttor E. M. Fullington, who presented
another of his sermons son the subject,
demonstrating each of his statements
with figures.
Mr.. Fullington says that one of the
principal sources of the increase in ex-
penditures is the growing tendency to
create more boards and commissions,
which, with their clerical forces, eat
up state money at an enormous rate.
He says that there must be a cutting
down along this and other lines.
His figures show that state expendi-
lures in 1900 were $4,909, ,433.21, and
in 1909, $9,125,327.2S, an increase
OF S5 per cent in nine years.
The expenses OF counties and munich
palities increased from S39, ,500,S96S4
to $6S 1886, ,511.39, or 79 per cent, during
the same period.
AT this point he calls attention to
the much slower increase in tax valua-
tions and the consequent advance in
the tax rate, which has been such an
alarming feature of the past decade of
state history.
During the period under considera-
tion real estate values in the state
increased from s1,274, ,2O3, ,721 to s1,61s
426,265, this being only 81 per cent.
Personal property increased from
s1,S34 4,053,22S to s2,3S9,97S,349, or 81
per cent Thus the increase in valua-
1ions amounted to less than half of the
increase in expenditures during the
same period which results in the in
crease in the average tax levy, which
ures.
In 1900 the average tax levy in Ohio
was 24.4 mills. and in spite of the fact
that the state levy was reduced 1.54
mills in 1902 the average tax levy in
1909 was 29.S mills.
Going further, he finds that the
bonded indebtedness of counties in.
creased from S96,193,5l3 in 1900 to
$lS4,3l4,231 in 1909, the percentage be
ing 81, which means that this item
was nearly doubled in nine years. The
population increase in the same period
was only IA per cent, being from 4,157,
545 to 4,767,121, the increase being
largely in the cities, since 3S counties
of the state showed decrease OF pop
ulation.
In his summing UP Mr.. Fullingtor
SAYS that large part of the increase
has been due to the erection of new
buildings throughout the state and the
improvement OF highways He finds
in the figures on real estate an excel
lent argumeE in favor OF the quadren
NAL appraisement system.

There are 1900 contributors to this

the task of producing the work more

GOVERNoR-ELEcT OF GEORGIA

Governor-elect Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia, who exposed a plot Of New York
cotton spectators to infect the cot
ton fields with the boil weevil for the
purpose of cutting future crops short
and enabling the spectators to win
a fortune by going '1ong" Of the cot
ton market, was a member Of Presi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet. He was last
fall elected governor of Georgia.
The first information of the plot
came in letter to Mr.. Smith from a
man whose name he refuses to give,
but in whom he places entire conf
dence. At Mr.. Smiths request the
writer came from New York for a per
sonal visit with the governor-elect.
Convinced by the evidence offered
by this informant, Governor-elect
Smith gave prompt warning to the
farmers and the planters of the south
that two plotters have in their posses
sion at least 100000 live boil wee
wills, and are waiting their opportunity
to scatter these disastrous insect;
over Georgia and South Carolina.

After Three Score Years and Ten.


A mystery of an escape at the Ohio
penitentiary more than seventy years
ago was cleared up when prisoners at
work tearing down one of the aban-
doned buildings found few fragments
of human bones in an old tunnel which
they uncovered. The bones are
thought to be all that remains of Scott
Maythe, who, the records OF the peni.
,tentiary Show, escaped from the inSti-
trrtion on July 7, 1910. From theit time
until the present nothing has been
heard cf him. The records at the pen
itentiary show that it was suspected
that Maythe was in hiding somewhere
in the penitentiary and that other pris-
oners carried food to him. Maythe
was from Stark county.

CHOSEN SENATOR FROM MAINE

No climate in the country has been
regarded as less encouraging to the
growth of Democratic timber than
that of the Pine Tree state, but since
the thaw of last September the mete-
geological conditions have been al

1t was admitted by some political
Jeremiahs that a Democratic COVER
nor might slip through the breach in
the Republican lines and intrench
himself at Augusta, but the most en-
thusiastic visionary hardly dreamed
of Democratic legislature or a Dem
ocratic senator. Not since 1856, when
Hannibal Hamlin crossed the Kenne-
bee, had Democratic senator been
sent to the national capital from
Maine, and not for thirty years had
any New England state elected Dem
ocratic senator.
So, as Democratic senator from
