The Law and the Profits.

! / want to tell Mr.. Chaplin what ]
know about offsets and what l know
1 am absolutely sure of. 1 know be-
fore offsets were abolished I paid
about $50 per year in taxes. While
since then | have paid about $73,
and while that is about all 1 know
about offsets and the tax question
in general, it is all 1 want to know.
j. H. Neill of Waitsfield.
Here is a specimen of the sort of
argument that will be used in Mont
pelier next month to secure the re-
peal of the law abolishing offsets.
Mr.. Neill does not say whether
the tax was just and lawful, as it
was, undoubtedly.
He does not tell how he previous
ly succeeded in evading taxation to
the extent of $23.
He merely knows that he has been
compelled to come across with
what he owes the community, and,
like all caught-up delinquents, rage
and revolt unspeakable fill his soul.
Lacking knowledge of Mr. Neill's
circumstances, The Herald would
stay that undoubtedly the law was
passed for the particular benefit
of Mr.. Neill and his sort and that it
had accomplished a righteous end
in collecting the additional tax. A
man with property worth from $4-
600 to $4,000 is not an object of
charity, nor should excessive sym
pathy be expended on him.
The offset allowed by the lis
ter through discretion in asses
sing the value of property is an
unmixed evil, capable of being ex-
banded into an avenue of evasion be-
yond the conception of the average
man for possibilities of fraud 1t
will be distinct retrOgression if it
is restored as a factor in Vermont's
taxation problem.
One of the established avenues of
tortuous profit in practically every
Vermont town has been the conceal
ment of taxable property. In this
devious enterprise, the offset has
done more perhaps than any other
privilege to make men tax dodgers
and perjurers.
The Herald trusts that the agon-
lied shrieks of he man who has been
compelled to pay more tax under the
abolition of offsets will not have too
serious weight in the legislature of
Herald.

Death of Mrs. Josiah Ward
Mrs. Mianda Ward, who was one

ton of two years, which were spent

After Mr. Wards death she sold the
farm, which is now owned by Luther
Brown and bought a small house in
the village. Mrs. Ward loved chill
dren and in her early days when she
lived on the farm, would invite them
to her home and the stories and good
times there will long be remembered.
She was one of a family of five chill
dren, two of whom survive her. Mrs.

One Hundred Years Ago.

The curious modes which women
affect now began as far back as 1898,
which is a period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
in vogue at that time, and had many
opponents, who danced in loose bod
ices opening in V shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts
we're slit and we're often made OF
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of that
period, which were without waists
having simply girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back
In 1900 women wore sandals and
bare feet. Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
canoes. Soon fashion overreached It
self, and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists
Are we coming to this?

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton, Wis.-"My sister had q
very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side of her face and 1t ran up to
her ear. 1t commenced with small
blotch of pimples which turned into
kind Of rash and spread rapidly. 1t
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was a kind of eczema.
She treated for some time and 1t
did not help her. 1t kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always
used Cuticura Soap we told her to try
1t so she got some Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and used them. 1t was two
months when 1t was gone" (Signed)
