Irish Potato Crop

condition in the largest producing
states:

Other states are likewise indicat-
ing decreases.
Not only is a short crop of pota-
toes indicated in the large potato
growing states, but certain of the
western states encountered a very
serious drouth, which will not only
cut off the supply raised for ship
ment out OF the state, but will like
wise decrease the crop raised for
to the total of the coming demand
These figures impress us with the
idea that the Irish potato crop will
be a very valuable one for your sec
ton.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Headaches,

Headaches may come from
tired eyes, strained nerves, ia
tigue or disordered stomach.
and In four cases out of five it is
, the latter. When the cause has
been discovered the trouble must
, be removed. No temporary re-
lief will serve when the head
aches become constant visitors,
but an immediate removal of the
cause will leave no reason for
return visit.
Disordered stomach is most
) frequently the root of most
headaches. A good laxative TAX
) en- at once will help, and then a
dose should be taken once
week to keep the system clear of
fermentation. Purchase a box
of senna leaves at any drug
! store for 5 or 10 cents and take
a large pinch of these at night.
followed by glass of water.
These are excellent to keep the
system in a clear condition.
A simple diet should be followed
while the head and stomach are
weak. and rich foods should be
avoided for some time after an
) attack of sick headache.
Many headaches come from

be done in such n case is to con-
suit an oculist. If the eyes are

UNPRECEDENTED PROSPERITY
FOR OHIO

Standing forth an indisputable and
ineffacable mark of the success Of the
administration of James NJ Cox as
governor of Ohio, was the record an
nounced last Saturday when the state
closed its books for the year 1913 with
a balance of $1,429,76 and sur
plus of 1854, 124.S6 in the state treas
ury. These two sums break all prev
ious prosperity records of the COM
monwealth, giving the Democratic
state administration premier honors.
The receipts for 1913 touched
new high mark with an aggregate OF
$16,312, ,633.3S,or more than double
what the income was for 1900 Dis
burgements were $14,SS2,S6 Includ-
ed in the same was the disbursements
of the State Industrial Commission for
the compensation fund. A preliminary
estimate given by State Treasurer
Brennan some time ago placed the in
crease in receipts over last year at
S1,500,000 but those figures were ex-
-ceeded, the amount being $2,275, ,731.92.
The immense wealth in the state
treasury would have made fine plunder
for the interest stealing grafters who
disgraced Republican state administra-
tions, but State Treasurer Brennan
deposited the funds in banks and build
ing and loan associations throughout
the state at higher rates of interest
dollar of interest earned has been
turned over to the people too. The
increment for 1913 was 211,5O0.29 as
compared to .$17S, ,648.72 in 1912.
When the food deluged Ohio last
spring, dark days loomed ahead for
Ohio and few in Columbus believed
there would be balance at the close
,of the year. The immense balance is
both surprising and gratifying, in view
of this handicap. Not one cent of the
immense increase in revenues has
porations paying practically all of it.
The rates of special corporation taxes
were not changed; fewer of these con
Germs escaped payment A number o.
new laws which Governor Cox secured
compelling state departments to live
on fees collected added thousands o
dollars. The consolidation of depart
ments under commissions also have
proven money savers.
Extraordinary expenses for the yea
aggregate more than a million and
half dollars, and these are responsible
for increased expenditures. Amoni
the larger items on this account are
100000 to the militia for food duty
100000 to the Red Cross society 70
