Couldn't See the Resemblance.


They have been joking Assistant
Treasurer James A. Mathews of the
Guardian bank, on his resemblance to
President Taft, and Mr.. Mathews has
steadily refused to be annoyed there
by. So the jokers subsidized and the
joke died a natural death.
Until the other night, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathews dined together with
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Harmon and their
little daughter, when the Taft resem-
blance was revived. Turning to young
Miss Harmon, Mr.. Mathews asked
whether she, too, thought he looked
like the president.
Dorothy studied long and earnestly
Then she answered:
Not in the face, Uncle Jim

How OLD ARE THE BIG TREES?

An age as great as 5000 years has
sometimes been ascribed to- the giant
trees Of California. The latest fig
ures seem to indicate that such esti-
mate is very much exaggerated. One
investigator, who counted with great
care the rings Of tree felled in
1853, and which was fully "a Sor rs
feet in diameter, SO that its stump
served as the floor of a dancing pa
vilion, states that the rings num-.
bered LAY, and that that number,
would represent the age of the tree,
in years. The authority gravely.
doubts whether any ofthe existing.
trees approach the age Of 1000 years.

Thus Starts New Garbage Plant
Upon its Way - Board of
Health Confident Process
Will be OdOrless

Tons of garbage loaded into the re-
Gently renovated and rehabilitated
mechanism Of the Asylum street gar
day, going through the process of re-
duction with promises of such salts
factory results that Mayor Bucking-
ham, Contractor Fischer, the Board Of
Health and all who have struggled
so long and so patiently with the prob
lem of garbage disposal are just tick
led to death.
As stated in the Farmer of Satur-
day. the first consignment of garbage
for the plant was delivered at the
dumping shed of the plant Saturday
afternoon. The actual work of re-
duction was begun at o'clock yes
terday afternoon when Mayor Buck
ingham turned a valve by which the
steam under pressure was discharged
into the huge watts, or containers, in
to which the tons Of refuse had been
carried from the sheds by means of
conveyors. When the containers, or
digesters, so-cailed, there is battery
of -four of them with capacity of Is
to Is tons each), are sufficiently full,
they are dramatically sealed, and the
steam under high pressure cooks the
garbage until it is ready to be drop
pea lHIO d IdnK DolOW the Q1S0SIorS.
The process Of reduction continues
with the separation of grease from
water, and the passage of the solid
matter through rollers, treatment with
intense heat. until there is not a
nickels worth of anything at all left
in the stuff. Contractor Fischer says
his process is odorless because the
odor laden fumes are forced into a
furnace and burned. Yesterday the
city officials were confident that his
promise of odorless reduction was as
sured of realization.
Mayor Buckingham and the Health
Board arrived at the plant at o'clock.
AT 1858 the Mayor turned the steam
into the digesters. Then while the
steam was doing its work Fischer
showed the officials through the es-
Establishment. Mr.. Fischer was attir-
ed in his overalls and jumper and
gave his personal attention to every
little detail of the work. Following
the inspection, arrangements were
made for another visit tomorrow aft
ernoon when a further inspection Of
the work and of the output Of the re-
duction plant will be made.

TUBERCULOSIS A SERIOUS
MENACE TO THE CHURCHES

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordin-
airy church organization were publish
ed by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
in a bulletin on tuberculosis Day.
From reports received from over
US churches. with membership Of
over $4,000 communicates of 20 de-
nominations, and from EOS cities and
towns in IL states in various parts Of
the country, out of nearly 1000 deaths
in 1910, over 700 or 1914 per cent.
were caused by tuberculosis. This
means 2.24 deaths for every thousand
members or communicates
While the percentage Of deaths from
tuberculosis as compared with other
diseases is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the Registration Area
of the United States, which the Gen.
sus Bureau gave as 1.67 in 1903.
1.-THE National association" the bull
Ietin says, "does not, however, consid-
er the statistics received from min
listers comparable from the point OF
view of accuracy with those reported
by the Bureau Of the Census. A suf-
ficent number Of returns from a great
variety Of churches have been recetv-
ed. nevertheless, to indicate that one
of the most serious social problems
the ordinary church has to consider,

bership by tuberculosis. The need
for education from the pulpit and in

HUNDRED
REMIT 81 FOR
PERSONAL TAX

The personal tax collectors this
morning had to place another order
for files for their foolish question"
box. AS the queries come in with
each mail, and to avoid confusion,
each question is numbered and con-
signed to the files.
The collectors are finding most trou-
BILE with people who really ought to
know. This morning a letter was re-
ceived from a member of local law
firm, a man who has received many
political honors. He returned his bill
with the information that he had
served in the militia, and that there
fore he was exempt. The collectors
know that this gentleman has so serv-
ed the State, but will need actual
proof.
There also come epistles from many
who are now residing out of town.
Bills sent out have been for 1910, and
citizens living within the city, during
any part Of that time, are included in
the tax.
Remittances are coming into the
collectors very slowly, up to noon to-
day 200 having paid. Citizens have
until June / in which to pay.
