WORLDS GREATEST CANDLE

A giant candle. made in Harlem. n.
Y, and destined for st. Peters, at
Rome. was blessed before the altar
of st. Biagio by the Pope and will
burn without drip for six long years.
Standing over IL feet high, weighing
over 200 pounds, and costing nearly
$1,000, the candle is made OF sweet
smelling beeswax, dipped with 200 dip
pings about marvellous wick. From
within foot of the top to a foot Of
the bottom it is embossed in gold.
The centerpiece. of cunningly wrought
gold and delicately carved wax, shows
lilies of the valley and lovely sacred
picture. The manufacturer will not
tell the name Of the person who or
dered the candle, saying:
when one has prayed long and
ceaselessly to the saints for health he
does not parade his generous attitude.
He lays what he has upon the altar
and goes silently on his way"
st. Biagio is the patron saint of
those who suffer from disease of the
throat. 1t is the tradition that he
miraculously cured a little girl of
throat disease while on his way to
martyrdom in the early days of the
church.

Darwin as Girls Read Him.

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.
Albrecht, Box SS3, West Point, Neb.,

YEARS ARE ADDED TO LIFE

Within the last half century, an av.
erage OF IL years has been added to
human life. The death rate has been
reduced from 35 in each 1000 inhab-

has been obtained through the con-
troll of infectious diseases. The saving
thus made relates only TO the period
Of life under so years. There is no

INCOME TAX LAW.

Toe new income tax law, which is
now in effect, will be applied all in
comes within the state for the year
ended Dec. 81, 1911 and assessments
made hereunder will be payable next
winter. So far as Wisconsin is con-
cerned this method of producing
revenue to meet the constantly in
creasing expenses of conducting the
state is largely an experiment. In a
number Of other states where it has
been tried the results have be8n far
from satisfactory and it is predicted
that it will prove an unsatisfactory
and unpopular law in Wisconsin.
However, it may be that our law
makers have profted from their stndy
of the laws as applied in other states
and have produced measure that has
eliminated from its provisions some Of
the features that have proved objec-
tionaole in other states At all events
we have the law and it is entitled to
fair trial. It is the announced
purpose Of this law to become sub
situte for the present inequitable
personal property tax. We shall
publish, later. the full provisions of
the new law, so that our readers may
become familiar with its comlex cou-
G1itions
