! of the American Society for Thrift.
He approved the idea and express
ed the belief that one vocation
teacher in each school be employed
all the year.
"These teachers should teach ma
ture study and the principles OF
horticulture" said Mr.. Claxton,
"going from home to home, super
vising the garden work and contln-
uing work during summer vaca-
ton.
"It is important to consider the
fact that the public schools OF the
country represent an investment IN
buildings, grounds and equipment
of nearly two billions of dollars and
that this investment stands Idle
about one-quarter Of the time Tor
no other reason than that i'll prlml-
tive days both teachers and pupils
were needed on the farms three or
four months in the summer. Thus
they learned useful habits and
ways of industry. But in our cit
les we teach today from books that
provide little that replaces the
homely duties that taught the
hands and heads to work together.
"For school gardening states
the commissioner, "the equipment
is small item and the vacant lots
of the city, now idle, would be bet
ter for cultivation. y
Mr.. ClaXton pointed out that III
Europe the public schools last year
produced $700,000,O00 through
their vocational work. He estimat-
ed that probably two million child
ren could be enlisted in the United
States within few years and that
their labors would yield them 800,
100000 annually.

Efficiency In Fire Department

Reports just compiled show that
last year S23 fires occurred on the
property Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad System; this was the
smallest numbmer Of fires in year
since 1904. The fire loss for the
year was $271,2SS, the smallest,
with the exception of one year, in
the past 80 years.
To protect more carefully the
property of its shippers which
might be in freight stations or in
transit, and also it's own plant, the
Pennsylvania has in the past six
years enlarged its fire fighting sys-
TEN and so improved its method of
inspection that the result is fewer
fires occus, and railroad employees
now extinguish many fires which
formerly would have gained head
way and cause consequent loss.
As showing the steady improve
Company's employees extinguished
274 fires out Of a total Of 1897
which occurred on railroad prop
erty. In 1909, out Of 929 fires the
railroads own men put out 321.
In 1910 they eXtinguished 379 and
in 1913, Alb fires-more than half
of the total number Of fires This
steady increase in the efficiency Of
the fire fighting brigade was fur
ther developed last year by special
training Of employees, as well as by

special training Of employees, as
well as by the efforts Of the Insur-
ance Department of the Railroad
to bring to the attention Of all en-
ployes the number of fires occur
ing from preventable causes, and
pointing out how to insure their
prevention.
A circular is to be issued by the
Railroad giving the causes Of all
fires on the Pennsylvania System
East and West Of Pittsburgh in
1913, in order that employees may
realize that their efforts to minim-
ize losses from fire are effective and
are appreciated.

AUSTR|A'S INCOME
 TAX BILL MEANS
 LARGE INCREASE
American Taxation of In- comes Very in Con- parisOn-Easy on the
 Working Classes

Vienna. February 2s.-After parlia- mentary wrangle continuing over year the new income tax bill has been finally passed and the Austrian taxpayer finds himself in sympathy with the American citizen in figuring out the worst that can befall him under the terms of the new tax.
 The taxing of incomes is not a new thing in Austria, but the revised system has so many new points that it will prac- tically be beginning all over again The new law will exempt altogether more than half a million of the present tax payers, but will also raise the rate of taxation all around that an increased revenue may result. The chief improve ment is in favor of the poor man: the new burdens fall heaviest upon the bach elors and persons without children and persons with incomes of more than 5000 a year.
 The bachelor tax requires that such persons having nobody depending upon them will have to pay 15 per cent addi- tional on the amount of their income tax. Also persons having only one other to provide for, such as married persons without children. will be required to pay an additional 10 per cent.
 The fight in parliament over the new bill was almost entirely upon the amount of the minimum annual income liable to taxation. Under the old law the tax be- gan upon incomes as small as s240 a year The social democrats, or socialist party. urged that it was a great injus- tice to subject wage earners with such small incomes to the tax, even though

Regular Boluel Movement From Infancy Insures Good Health In
 Later Years.

We cannot all start life with the ad- vantages of money, but every child born is entitled to the heritage of good health Through unfortunate ignorance or carelessness in the feeding of a baby it's tiny stomach may become de- ranged The disorder spreads to the bowels and before the mother realizes 1t the two chief organs on which the infants comfort and health depend are causing 1t great suffering. If the con- dftion Is allowed to continue grave ail- ments often result
 There is, howeser no occasion for alarm, and the sensible thing to do- but it should be done instantly-is to give the baby small dose of a mild laxative tonic. In the opinion of a great many people, among them such well-known persons as the parents of Bertha Lee Woodland. years old, of Moultrie, Ga, the proper remedy is Dr. caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. I. N Woodland says that little Bertha was troubled with constipation for over a year and that after trying several diff ferent kinds of remedies she found her relief in Syrup Pepsin. It is a mild pleasant tasting laxative, which every person likes, does not gripe nor cramp and contains that most excellent of all digestants, pepsin.
 pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is espe- cially intended for infants children women, old people and all others to whom harsh cathartcs, salt waters, pills, etc, are distressing In fact in the common disorders of life, such as

it amounted to $l.50 a year, especially in view of the enormous increase which has taken place in the cost of living since the present scale of income taxa ton was fixed r years ago. The social ists demanded that the minimum income should be fixed at $36o. A compromise was finally reached, establishing the min imum income liable to taxation at SS2e.
 Half Million Not Assessed
 In addition to the half million or more taxpayers who will escape assessment altogether. the new law will also benefit the working classes generally since it provides where wife ana children are working their earnings wrll not be reck- oned in with those at the head of the family for assessment, except in case the wife and children earn more than S320 a year.
 An instance of the increases which will affect the wealthier classes may be studied in the case of a merchant with an income of Sl00o0 now paying a tax amounting to SS52. The new law puts him up to s42l, and if he happens to be bachelor he must pay AS0, an increase | of 40 per cent on his former taxation. professional men and business men with incomes above s2000 are liable to a specias industry tax which in some cases may

 We believe, also. in justice the chants, the smaller ones lower basis than sales of 5000 quarterly should established the tax being fixed correspondingy lower.
