Baton Rouge, July M.-The
Union Sulphur Company Of Cal
casieu parish with its rich sui

est in the world, will be the first
single corporation to feel the
work of the Tax Commission.
Information was unearthed
in the Tax Commission Commit
tee on New and Miscellaneous
Sources of Taxation relative to
the vast sulphur mine deposits in
Calcasieu parish late this after
noon, which created q profound
sensation, and which will prob
ably lead to the State shaping a
tax on this mineral wealth that
will yield around S156, 600 IN State
revenues annually instead of
some $13, 900.
Affidavits were produced from
the Conservation Commission and
read before the committee, which
showed the gross income from
the Calcasieu Sulphur mines to
be SIS, 582s 40. It is now assess
ed at something like two and
one-haf millions, although there
has been continual and perpetual
war between the police jury of
Calcasieu parish and the State
Board of Equalization over the
Union Sulphur Company's assess
ment.

keeping MIX Clean

Every man, woman and child in
the United States uses milk or milk
products in some form. Are you
doing your part to keep your milk
clean and theirs? One of the worst
sources Of trouble is lack OF c!eanli-
ness in the care of milk utensils.
One of the chief things to be re-
membered Is THAT milk utensils
should never be rinsed IN not water
without being first rinsed in cold
water. If hot water IS used, milk
that may remain in the vessel is
very likely to be SO hardened thar
it can with difficulty be washed of
Rinse first in cold water, wash in

If desired, then rinse in boiling wa

but so heats the pals that they will
dry off quickly, thus 'lessening the
chance OF rusting. ut is economy

should never be used or one in which
the seams have become : slightly

A milk house aids very much in
the proper care of milk and milk

proportioned to the number of cows

walls that can be readily washed,

which milk utensils can be washed,

Agrees With Him About Food.

"A trained nurse says: I'm the
practice of my profession, have
found so many points In favor OF
Grape-Nuts food that. unhesItating-
ly recommend 1t to alt my patients.
1T is delicate. pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when def
cheney of teeth renders lnastication
impossible. For fevep patients or
those on LIQUID diet find Grape-iNuts
and albumin water very. nourishing
and refreshing. The recipe is my own
idea and is made as follows: Soak a
teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass
Of water for an hour. strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
a spoonful of fruit juice or faHoring.
This Affords q great deal of ,nourish-
ment that even the weakest stomach
can assimilate without any distress.
My husband is a physician and
he uses Grape-Nuts himself and or
ders It many times for his patients.
Personally 1 regard dish OF
Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit
as the ideal breakfast for anyone
well or sick"

Behefits of-Good ROADS !

IS aN
Good roads will add more to the
value Of farm property than all
other public improvements put to-
.gether
The Improvement In prices at
which slands are selling along inn
proved roads wherever they have
been built is from three to ten times
their former value. IL this is so,
or II we are sure that property will
even double in value should we not
improve our principal highways?
The states are interested in In
creasing the earning capacity of
farm lands, as 1t means greater rev.
enue to the state. Railroads are
also interested in the construction of
good roads in our agricultural dis
tricts, because they increase the IA
cillty by which the farmer can keep
in touch with the rest of the world
commercially.
The counties that are attracting
the most capital and labor are those
in which the roads are in the best
condition These counties will con-
tinue to derive the most benefit from
any improvements that are made
for bringing capital and labor into
the South Good county roads
indicate a prosperous county and it
will be found that the ricner, more
progressive and more liberal coun-
ties are those which have spent a
great deal amount of money in
building good and permanent public
roads
Every class seeking new homes
and new Investments will select To-
cations on good roads. Some will
be deferred from Investing on ac-
count of the poor roads in. the Sec
ton where they expected to settle.
Many do not; want to settle in our
cities, towns or villages, but want
to be out on farms ave or ten miles
from the city or town, yet want to
be connected with the city by good
roads.
If good roads are so important to
those coming into the South,
whether they be capitalists, health,
pleasure or homeseekers, or labor
ers. how much more important
should good roads be to those al
ready settled here?
Consider the counties that have
already developed system of good
roads and you will notice that they
have by far the largest population
per mile of the road; that they are
the richest counties, the most
progressive and 4theamost attractive
to the capitalist, home-seeker and
progressive man. 1t will also be
observed that these same counties
have the best school facilities fol-
their children.
