Vermont's New Tax Law.

With the completion of the grand
list for 1913. the figures Of which
are published elsewhere. the tax
payer is enabled to form an intelli-
gent opinion regarding the merits of
Vermont's new tax law. in a local
way at least. The figures show that
ST Johnsbury has increased in the
amount of taxable real estate dur
ing the past year S79,S25. This in
crease is a natural one and indie
pendent of any changes in the law.
Last year the appraised value of
personal property was S2,569,71S, but
Sl,143,5S of this was exempted from
taxation on account of debts owing.
leaving only s1,426,133 of IL taxable.
The total value of personal property
returned this year is not available,
but the amount of personal property
returned for taxation is S2.233,23
SO the increase in the amount of
personal property taxed (the direct
effect OF the new law) is S07 .105.
This includes all the personal prop
erty except money loaned in Yer
mont at a rate of interest not e..
ceeding 8 per cent and a very little
property held by the veterans. This
amount probably will not exceed
$4,000. So when personal property
is to be taxed its valuation has de
creased approximately s33O,475. not

When the location OF the increase
in the amount OF personal property
is studied II shows the increase has

FATIGUE A FOE TO BEAUTY
Woman Who Would Retain Charm
Should Avoid Allowing Herself
to Be Victim of Overwork.

Over-fatigue is foe to beauty.
Even if there were no lasting effects
from it, which there are, wearied
look in woman's face adds nothing
to her charm. Rather it is as the ap.
pearanee of a faded flower compared
with that of fresh one. The muscles
and muscular tissues become grad.
uaNy weak and show themselves with
particular perversity in ugly rings and
bags about the eyes, in a frightening
of the lines between the nose and
the mouth, and a general sagging.
Fatigue, too, has direct effect upon
the stomach muscles, causing them to
properly, and this, in turn, reflects
upon the complexion, rendering it sal
low and eventually blotched So,
say, avoid fatigue.
Rest whenever you can. Whatever
the routine of your day may be, it is
possible for you to snatch moment,
or at least, second or two, here and
there, of complete relaxation. Take
a long breath and relax, then go on
at tension if necessary, but it is rare
~, very rarely, necessary, and there
is a point to be made much of. Re-
sist tension
Battle the tired face in cold water
1t stimulates circulation, and brings
relief, at least to ones feelings, even
if its effect does not go very far be-
meath the surface. Hot water follow
ed by a cold dash is also refreshing
AMI especially is to be recommended
to the woman of nervous tempera-
ment. A few drops of camphor in ice
water makes an excellent lotion for
the rejuvenation of the tired face
muscles, but it should be followed by
the application of a good face cream.
Remove the cream with a dry, soft
cloth and behold, you feel like a new
woman.

She Thought re House Zey TEX THINGS So Calm"

IT j SPEIGHT, clerk to the house
ID. committee on judiciary, is not at
all the serious young man that any one
would take him to be. Not at all. In
spite of the fact that Speight sits in
that large and impressive committee
room, which probably is worth more
money than all the halls the CONT
mental congresses ever dreamed of,
and in spite of the fact that he is
STEPPED in the lore of trust investiga-
lions, judicial secrets. possible con-
stitutional amendments, impeachment
trials and Alabama politics, Mr..
Speight is always ready with nifty
little yarn.
He says that one day the house of
representatives was in terrific up
roar. Progressives were hurting solid
masses of objurgations against the re-
dictionaries Representative Cooper Of
Wisconsin, who refuses to 90 into eau
Gus with any one, not excepting him
self. was hurting defiance at Cannon
ism from the rear line Of trenches,
while ever and anon Representative
Mondell would chirp feebly in reply.

Handling of White House Mail Is Gigantic Task

stretch when. under normal conditions
the daily mail will seldom exceed zoe
letters and the average for long in
tervals during the last administration
was in the neighborhood of $50 letters
a day.
But this normal volume may be
quickly changed to the abnormal. The
appearance of some new national is
sue. an international crisis, an import
ant declaration of policy by the presi-
dent, proposal of new legislation, or
any one of a number of turns OF affairs
is likely to bring down upon the White
House an avalanche of letter of in
quiry, advice, commentator and wit
ticism.
The president of the United States
subscribes in effect to the policy OF the
man who has no mail delivered by car
rier at his place of business, but in
stead rents lockbox at the local post
office or nearest postal station. No
mail is delivered by regular carrier at
the White House. In fact, the presi-
dent has his own special postman,
member of the messenger force at the
executive offices, who is provided with
horse and buggy and who makes two
or three trips daily to the Washington
postofice dispatching the outgoing
mail and returning with the incoming.
The final trip of the day Is made at
a comparatively early hour In the aft
ernoon, a circumstance which, of
course. facilitates the task Of replying
to most letters on the day on which
they are received.
The office force is called upon to
handle one class of correspondence
which has no counterpart in the opera
tions of the ordinary business institu'
ton. This is the social correspond
ence and 1t is of quite heavy volume
during the winter months, when for.
NAL dinners, receptions and other en-
tertainments are held at the White
House in rapid succession.

Speaker Clark.

During one of the lively debates

tried to straighten it out, and in the

SUITABLE AND PRETTY GIFTS
Few Things for Prospective Bride Are
in Better Taste Than the
Easily Made Sachets.

Are any of your friends engaged?
If so, why rot make them some pretty
Bachets for an engagement gift? They
are always appreciated and can easily
be made. Purchase a quantity OF
satin ribbon two in&hes in width. The
Shops offer many bargains in ribbons

squares. pad them with cotton and
sprinkle with sachet powder. Then
whipstitch the edges together.
Stac$' a dozen OF these together

price of $50 paid by the army for
three-year-olds helps out the average
somewhat. Mr.. Bell in discussing the
matter said:
while l think the government Of
fer for army remounts is as fair as
could be made under the circum-
stances, l certainly should not advise
any one to go out and buy lot of
mares for the purpose OF raising
horses and selling them. There is
no question that the automobile is
hurting the horse business.
One Of the things also that Is wor-
rying army officers and horse breeders
in general is the course of congress
toward the cavalry branch Of the serv-
ice. There was a movement at the
last session Of congress to eliminate
five cavalry regiments altogether, and
fears are expressed by some of those
interested, that a similar move may
go through under the present admin
istration in the interests of economy.
The effect of such a course as this on
the horse market, is it pointed out
would be hard to estimate.

Horseess Age Near, Is the View of Experts

CIT EXPECT to live to see the day
when the keeping of horses in
Washington will be prohibited on SAN
itary grounds, just as the keeping of
pigs has been and the keeping of
COWS greatly restricted" This is a state
ment made by c. G. Bell one Of the
experts of the department of agricul-
ture Mr.. Bell believes that Washing
ton is much cleaner city because of
the introduction of automobiles, and
that the tendencies of the day is to
eliminate horses in cities and restrict
them to the country.
According to figures published by
the department Of agriculture, horse
breeding is about the worst paying
business that any one can go into. In
quiries were sent to 10000 correspond
ents and the average for the cost of
raising a colt to three years old was
taken for the entire country.
Counting the service fee, feed. vet
Urinary bills and breaking, the cost Of
raising a colt to three years old, even
when making allowance for the farm
work he does up to that age, is $96.54
The selling price averages $136.17
This is making no allowance for the
mares that do not produce foals or
