PERSONAL TAX ENUMERATION.
Total 3,o47-Exemptions Number 451
 -<Total Number Liable, 2,597.

Personal Tax Enumerater Michael F. Sullivan, through his able assist ant, Arthur T. Kelley, has filed with the board of selectmen and the town clerk the complete result of the work of the personal tax enrolment, to- gether with the military enrolment
 The enrolment for 191r1 is somewhat larger than that for 1910 because of the fact that more are liable for the assessment of the personal tax under the amended law and also due in part to the natural growth in population.
 On the list for 1911 firemen and mi- litiamen must either be active mem- bers or have served five years, while on the list for 1910 but three-year service in the militia or national guard was ground for exemption.
 Under the amended law, a post sur geon's certificate is no ground for an exemption. Postal employees were con- sidered exempt on the 1910 list, but according to an opinion of the United States attorney general at Washing ton, D. C., they are not exempt and are therefore listed as liable on the list for 1911. Students in college or incorporated academies are exempt under the amended law also, and there is but one so listed in Windham for 1911.
 The figures for the year 1911 appear ing on the abstract or recapitaulation of the complete enrollment just filed are az follows:
 mptions-Students in college l. active f1remen 124; ex-1remen 6 years service) 12S; active militiamen S5; U. s. soldiers 34 ex- U. s. sailors 6. Total exemptiens 451. Total number liable 2,597 Total enumeration BOAT. On, the list for. 1910 there were 556 exemptions, 2,447 liable for the person. al tax, with a total enumeration Of 9,01S.
 Therefore there are approximately 300 more liable on the list for 1911 than for 1910, as upwards of 140 on the latter list do not appear on the 1911 list by reason of death, removal, never having resided here, or in some other manner were wrongly enrolled.

Fels-Naptha has many other uses be- sides making wash-day easy. Here are few:
 It takes out coffee stains, blood stains, fruit stains and grease-spots, almost like magic. And in cool or lukewarm water, too. Never use hot water with Fels-Naptha
 Fel8-Naptha whitens floors, make the painted woodwork bright, and makes the oil cloths and linoleums look like new.
 For glassware and cut-glass, there is nothing better than Fels-Naptha. Puts the sparkle on them that you like.
 Fels-Naptha and soft cloth will keep that porcelain bath tub always clean and shining.
 All done without boiling water, and scrubbing brush.
 Don stick to old fashioned methods just because your mother or her mother did. Be modern, and save time and strength.
 Try 1t when you clean. Try the Fels-Naptha way of washing and divide the work and time in two.

 a moment later the locomotive and train
 shoot out into the pure air beyond.
 I wish l could show you the windings of this Northern railway track as it goes up the hills It has not yet been discov- cred by the tourist who lies off every summer to Europe to see the Swiss Alps,
 but in many respects 1t is equally grand
 with the railways of Switzerland and
 the more Interesting because it is almost
 unknown. The road winds about like a
 corkscrew as it climbs up the Central American mountains. It has horseshoe
 curves more wonderful than those of the | Pennsylvania railroad--curves which are 1 sharper and rounder and are more like l horseshoes, in fact. Moreover the hills rise above these curves for hundreds of | feet, and we wind our way about what
 seems to be mighty cul-de-sac of the | densest of green. At times we are hal~
 way up the sides of a gorge and by | looking down and following the lines of | the horseshoe we can see the Reventazon l river, splashing it's silvery foam as it 1 rolls over the bolders. In place the
 eye can follow the sivery streak for
 many miles.
