IOWA OPINION AND NOTES

There is just one equitable basis
OF tsxation-and that Is to list all prop
erty. real and personal, at actual valu-
alton, with levy based upon that
valuation that will produce the fund
actually needed for economical admin
istration Of the public business, says
the Sioux City Tribune.
The Iowa City Press believes that
unless the state board Of education IL

larger problems particularly Of the
business end of the schools, leaving the
general direction OF each school to Its
president and faculty. the better. And.
since the present board has given
abundant proof that 1t will not thus
limit its activities, but persist in try

five years to get the city authorities
in Des Moines to the point even of
considering public comfort stations.
The Sioux City Journal explains that
las the board of control principle is
understood, 1t is not intended that the
board shall look after the admins

care. The idea, rather, is that the
board shall hire competent executives
who will manage the institutions on
certain broad principles established by
the supervising body"

out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be

External applications for their re-

because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.

then known world by warning against
all their neighbors, until they had van
quished them, but while thus engaged,
the flower of their own manhood fell

A people possessed of the greatest
Intelligence that the human race had
so far produced, the greatest gener-
ais. the greatest lawyers, the greatest
statesmen, the greatest historians, the
greatest philosophers and poets, the
creations of the genius still furnish
the choicest models of literary culture
and esthetic taste. They became the
masters of the world, but in doing so
had lost the strength and power Of
their noblest manhood, degenration
speedily ensued, and the Roman arms
gained the mastery
"The Romans, a people of iron bone
and sinews of steel, won the mastery
of the then known world and held the
nations from the Indies to the At
lantic under its iron sway. But in the
accomplishment of this great task the
strength and glory of Roman manhood
fell before the foe. Degeneration quick
ly ensued and the Roman arms had to
be recruited from the surrounding
tribes. Ere long these mercenaries
seized the reins of power and the
Goths and Vandals and the rest die
tated terms to imperial Rome. History
will repeat itself again and when this
titanic struggle is ended, hundreds of
thousands of the bravest and best men
in the world today will have been
slaughtered and lie in untimely graves.
"You may rebuild your burned cities,
you may reconstruct your shattered
fortresses, you may make thousands
of monster guns, you may cover the
sea with new battleships, you may dig
gold from the mountains of the earth
and refill your exhausted treasures,
but you can not replace the dead man
hood even in a thousand years. The
nations engaged in such murderous
slaughter must themselves follow the
fate which has marked the history of
wars from the beginning of the world.
"The tears streaming from the eyes
of the hundreds of thousands of wild

Holding Your Breath.
From the Technical World

from the l0CIlIllCdl WOTlN.
Occasionally we see depicted in the
photo play a picture of death. in which,
watch as closely as possible. we can
detect no breathing motion of the
dead" man. OF course. the period of
exposure to the camera may be only a
few seconds. and most people can easily
hold the breath for 80 or 40 seconds.
But a certain film. soon to be re-
leased. shows a scene in which a man
lies exposed for 100 seconds. or two and
tw%o-thirds minutes. during which time
he takes no breath. How does he do it
or rather. how does he not do it?
AS a matter Of fact. anybody can.
with a bit of preliminary practice. hold
the breath for two minutes by the
watch. even though 40 seconds seems
the breaking point when a man is first
tested.
The reason we breathe on an average
Of 10000 times a day is that carbon di-
oxide gas accumulates in the blood at a
certain rate. and this a stimulates the
breathing center, causing inspiration of
fresh air. Now. If there were a way
to reduce the proportion of carbon di-
oxide in the blood. even for a brief in
terval. one could get along nicely with
out any air for a while. And this is
