From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 When it comes to eating tin cans

 famed goat Is not in 1t with the fish.
 At least that is what members of the American Fisheries society say. Some persons think 1t harms fish to swallow a hook said w. F. Meehan of Pennsylvania. president of the asso-
 ciation Tt doesn't. The reason Is that the fish digests iron hooks and other metals readily.
 Tt takes two weeks for the fish to do 1t. but at the end of that time the hook or piece of metal is gone. l caught a fish that had swallowed a hook some time before. The barb hau penetrated the walls of the stomach and had gone into the side of the nsn 1t was intact but the shaft, that nao remained in the stomach, was gone It was digested.

 until the head is digested and then

CONAN CLAIMS PROPERTY IN
 MONTGOMERY UNDERVALU JED

Montgomery, October 12.-(Special)- Real estate in Montgomery is assessed at about 30 per cent of it's value and per sonal property is given in at approximate ly 20 per cent of It's worth, according to City License Inspector James G. Cowan who has prepared figures to show that assessments in this city are not 60 per cent as required by law.
 Inspector Cowan gave statement to the public Saturday declaring that the city's income would be s526, ,965. .03 If the law was compiled with. that the floating debt could be paid sufficient appropriations made for school purposes, commissioners would be able to provide sufficient police men and homes could be protected from burglars.
 MT. Cowan became sarcastic in referring 10 reports of burglaries in the city. ''I'

salmon which was suffering from ap- pendicitis.
 "A salmon has 175 vermiform appen- dices, or what corresponds in way to the appendix He said This fish that had appendicitis had the inflammation in only one of it's appendices, however. Think how bad it would feel to have appendicitis 175 times"
 Another member of the state fish commission told how a farmer almost killed the state appropriation for fish, cries by an experiment.
 This farmer caught a pickerel," he said, and on cutting it open he found number of eggs. Thinking he would cultivate fish he placed these eggs in a pan of water and waited three weeks or so. When he got no resulting fish he went before the legislature and told it that it was putting bum fish in the waters.
 'aThe legislature believed him and was on the point of killing the appropria- tion when one of our experts explained to the committee that fish eggs are not

seems to me passing strange how these midnight marauders can under the cover of darkness secure from these homes so many valuables in the shape of diamonds, jewelry. watches and silverware of the value of many hundreds of dollars, and the tax assessors. armed with authority co-equal with the power contained in q search warrant, cannot find them in broad open day"
 The total assessed valuation of Mont gomery property is s22.920.579, and it would be s46 las if all assessments were made at 60 per cent of the real property value, according to Inspector Cowan. Real es- tate is assessed at $16,299 110 and personal property is given in at $6,621, 469. The in- spector believes the valuation of real estate should be s32, ,59S.220 and personal property $l3,242.9S2. To this he would add $1,000,0O0 for escaped taxes.

OeCeHlDef 1JIA-I
AT a regular meeting of the State Board
Of Health, held at Manhattan, Kansas,
November 18th, 1912, the following resolu-
ton and order were unanimously adopted
and ordered printed in the official state
paper:
State Board of Health examination
made of the water supplied to the public
for drinking purposes by the railroads of
this state on their trains and in their
passenger stations has disclosed the fact
that a considerable number of the sam
pies indicated that water so supplied was
unfit for drinking purposes;
AND WHEREAS, upon further ex-
animation it was found that the water
used in furnishing the trains for such
purposes was suitable for drinking pur-
poses.
AND WHEREAS, the method of icing
the water coolers on trains and in passen-
ger sta tons in this state is such to in
sure rather than prevent the contamina-
ton of the drinking water;
THEREFORE,, Be 1t Resolved by the
Kansas state Board of Health that in its
opinion the only way that purity OF wa
ter served for drinking purposes in trains
and passenger stations can be assured as
free from pollution by ice, Is to prevent
the water from coming into direct contact
with ice, it is now therefore by said
Board ordered that on and after July LIST,
1913, no railway company and no officer
or employee Of any railway company, or
any other person shall cause or allow
any ice to be placed in or come into con-
tact with any water which Is served for
drinking purposes upon railway trains or
in passenger stations.
1t is further ordered by the Board that
all drinking water receptacles and coolers
in passenger trains be thoroughly cleansed
by said railway company and persons in
charge of the cars containing said water
receptacles and coolers at all terminal
stations where and whenever such cars
are cleaned
1t is further ordered that this order be
published at once in the official state pa
1 hereby certify that the above is a
correct copy.
