Against Higher Tax

Increase tax levy and you increase the number of tax dodgers" is a statement made re gently by l.. M. Burge, a mem Der of the State Tax Commission. This statement was made by him in discussion of some increased levies recently made. Commis sioner Burge believes that the way to get increased revenues is not by making increased leyies, but by getting all property in counties upon the tax books This, he holds, will create sufd. cient revenue to meet the de mands of the state, while every increase drives just that much property off the books.

Harm IN Too Much Exercise.

DR.. Lawrason Brown and DR.. F. II.
Heise Of Saranac Lake, in an article
on properly Regulated Rest and Ex-
ercise in Pulmonary tuberculosis" in
the June number Of the Journal of the
Outdoor Life, holds that the action
of the poisonous germs Of this disease
on the body is very similar to that Of
overexercise. The poisonous irrita~
lions caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues of the body a dou-
BILE load to carry. Drs. Brown and
Heise emphasize the Importance of
rest in the treatments of tuberculo-
sis, but also insist that properly reg
ulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their conclusions thus:
ITO sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and systematically graded
is an important factor in the treat
ment Of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Through it the patient is in many
cases returned to home and family
with lessened chances Of future re-
lapse. At the same time part of his
earning capacity is restored and he
is consequently financially less de-
pendent upon others, relieving him Of
much worry, expense and hardship"

Uncle Reuben, the village white

debts at the appointed time; but on
one occasion, when he had been &C

to return in few days, he allowed
two or three weeks to pass without
making any mention of his indebted
