Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not

Some time ago wa began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have hnd good results In
every case and the Sisters are very

The form and flavor of any medi-

Sixty Years Ago
BY MRS. FLORENCE JOSEPH

Some are born late.
The latter thinks the former
The former can tell the latter many things they don't know
Bits OF unwritten history of sixty years
Now friends and neighbors
have taken the chance
10 criticize that hardtme dance
We held here not long ago.
Where are the graceful dancers
I used to know, that danced with me
Sixty years ago?
I can remember sixty years back
/ never saw white patch on
gown that was black
IL the patch were gray. green. or brown.
We set 1t under, and darned it down.
But patching and darning and mendng just so,
Are lost art OF sixty years ago.
used to have dudes then and sometimes swell
But they didn't dance with hats on like umbrel.
Our hats were medium brirr. and made by hand
Good enough for high or low,
Were the hats of sixty years ago.
And the sun bonnets too they were made
From the sun and wind the face to shade;
But they have also passed away
And in their place, baskets
Covered with silk and lace
And hatpin daggers with dangerous glow
My! it was different sixty years ago.
yes, can see you smile,
guess you think we had no STYLE
Our styles were new and came from many a land.
And indeed we were happy band.
We DANCED to the music. with heel and toe,
Now they get all kinds of music and foot and blow
Twas different sixty years ago.
used to think it a glorious sight
Those old time dances by candle light
With the wooden candle sticks set in row,
That's how we lit up" sixty years ago.
But now they have an electric
Everything seems like its in blaze
But our talow candles, would have you know
We were thankful for, sixty years ago.
We had good music and then it was new
Pop goes the Weasel and Yankee Doodle Doo"
"Old Dan Tucker and Row Boaty Row."
Were the good old tunes sixty years ago.
Many brave men and sweet lovey women,
First saw the light in owly log cabin.
They've made their mark, tho they homespun grey
They're the fathers and mothers Of professors today.
Those men and women their hearts aglow
With the great truths of heaven of sixty years ago.
The first dance went to remember we'll,
My hair hung in wringlets Pm still proud to tell
And didn't know what meant till they said Ladies

But bobbed around, and say. don't you know
enjoyed those dances sixty years ago.
I'm a wall flower now but I've had my day
And step to side to be out of the way,
And as watch the gay dancers glide to and fro,
It calls back the memories of sweet long ago.
And pray God to bless them in their innocent youth.
May their feet from the pathway of truth
Have respect for the aged and in their hearts glow
Warm love and devotion for pioneers of long ago.

WAR MONEY WILL BE RAISED IN
LOTS OF WAYS-PUBLIc PAYS
BY ellison Gardner.

by GIlSon Gardner.
Washington, D. c., April 25--The
cost of war with Mexico, if war is
necessary, will be levied on the users
of beer, tobacco, drugs and on COM
mercial transactions represented by
checks, drafts, stock transfers and
similar dealings.
This is the usual method of financ-
ing war. 1t was employed in the
Spanish-American war. The beer tax
was increased nearly one-third, and
the result was smaller glasses of beer.
The tobacco tax was increased in
about the same proportion, and the
tobacco trust took it out of the pub
lie by decreasing the sizes of the
packages, allowing the price for
standard makes to remain the same
The commOnest tax, the one noted
in commercial transactions, is that on
checks. Everybody paying by check
had to have two-cent stamp on the
check, and in course of time the
checks books were issued with the
stamps printed on the checks, and a
charge was made for the book to
cover the international revenue tax.
The stock exchange transfer was
theoretically aimed at rich people
transferring valuable properties in
stocks. 1t was successfully evaded
by all large firms like Morgan & Co.
by various tricks, such as making no
official record of stocks bought and
sold on the stock exchange. All the
nominal sales by margin of such
stocks escaped the war tax.
The beer and tobacco tax was cas-
lily transferred to the consumers of
these articles, and even the tax On
checks was handed down to the peo-
pie who pay the bills. In other words,

producing public rather than upon
the possessors of accumulated
wealth.
At present revenues are scant and
a deficit is piling up in the treasury.
The first step in financing a real war
would be the issue of bonds.
These are the source of profit to
big f1nanciers and to large banking
firms floating them, but the real cost,
which is the interest payments and
the repayment of principal, comes out
of the consumers of the country
through future taxation to take care
of such interest and principal.
The income tax, now made thor
oughly constitutional, affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for financing the
Mexican war. During the civil war
large amount of money was raised by
an income tax, no question then be-
ing raised as to it's constitutionality.
A sharply graduated increase in the
income tax could very easily be ar
ranged by a brief amendment to the
present income-taX law. The admins
tration of such a measure would be
simple, since the returns are in and
the government knows who must pay
income taxes.
1t would be necessary only to send
notice to those who have paid that
their bills will be,a certain percentage
higher, according to the graduated
increase which might be made by
congressional amendment.
An inheritance tax could very cas-
lily be added by Congress, and this
would be an even more certain way
of tapping accumulated wealth rather
than levying the burden of war on the
poor producer and consumer.
The cost of war depends entirely
on circumstances. If the war is short
and quickly terminated a hundred
million would do to start with, and
the cost would pile up from this, with

Representative of each of the bid
ding concerns as we'll as many inter
ested property owners, were in the
council chambers when the bids
were opened and read, and the coun-
ell at once resolved itself into a COM
mittee of the whole and adjourned to
the office of the city clerk to discuss
the merits of the several bids in pri-
yaet. 1t is the opinion of City En-
gineer Edwards that inasmuch as a
big fill must be made on Maiden
Lane to establish the grade. a heav-
Ter foundation than has been used
in the other districts must be put in
to stand the wear and tear of the
heavy traffic, and it is possible that
the council will decide upon a cement
concrete foundation for the wearing
surface in place of the rock founda-
tions which have heretofore been
selected.
Previous to the opening of the
bids, a petition, signed by nine of
the property owners in the district
representing a total frontage of 1910
linal fee, was presented to the
council, requesting that the district
be paved with bitulihtic pavement.
providing that the price is no higher
than the lowest price secured for the
same paving in other districts. This
petition, upon which no action was
taken by the council, was signed by

FRUIT GROWERS UNITE
TO FIGHT FIRE BLIGHT
Protective Association VIII Take
Drastic Measures to stop Spread
of Dreaded Fruit Disease

The dreaded fire blight of fruit
trees is doomed so far as Pullman
and vicinity is concerned. At
meeting of the mem bers of the Pull
man Fruit Growers association held
last Saturday in the Chamber of
Commerce building, a fruit growers
protective association was formed,
which will have as its sole object the
eradication of fire blight fgrom the
orchards of Pullman and vicinity.
and drastic measures toward the con-
troll of this dreaded fruit disease
will be taken. While fire blight has
not made as great inroads upon the
orchards of this vicinity as in numer-
GUS other fruit sections, the fruit
men will take no chances, but will
nip the activities of the disease in
the bud. A. b. Harris OF Garfield,
county fruit inspector, was present
at the meeting Saturday He stated
that the blight is spreading rapidly,
and urged the local growers to i'm
mediate and united action to check
the disease.
The remedy adopted by the asso-
citation for combating the disease is
the cutting of all infected branches
at least eight einches below the show
of the disease. These diseased
branches will be at once burned and
both the instrument used to sever
the branch and the wound itself will
be disinfected with corrosive sub
Innate, one part to 1000 parts of
water.
a second meeting of the associa-
ton is called for Saturday July IS,
when reports on the progress of the
battle against the disease will be
made and plans for future activities
formulated. All fruit raisers who
are interested in Kidding the country
OF this disease are urged to attend
the meeting and to lend their hearty
support to the move.
