THE BETTER WAY

The Warnes law in Ohio, which has
resulted in placing many millions of
taxable personal property upon the
tax duplicate in Ohio, is far ahead of
the taxing systems of other states in
effectiveness and economy
The members of the Indiana tax
commission recently paid a visit to
Columbus and made comparisons of
the Ohio and Indiana systems. They
agreed that Ohio has the most eff
cient law in the United States for en-
forcing the general property tax.
The city of indianapolis is about
one-third the size of Cleveland and a
little larger than Columbus and yet it
cost that city the sum of $21 900 to
list the property In 1914, while the
cost to Cleveland was only 500 900,
and to Columbus only $4,000 In
indianapolis 1870 elective assessors
worked sixty days at 81 a day each.
In Cleveland the work was done by
forty appointive assessors who work.
ed one hundred days at $5 day
each.
The cost to Cleveland was 1000
less than for indianapolis, and at the
same time the Cleveland assessors
Increased the tax forty.three times
az much as the increase made by the
indianapolis assessors. The increase
in the indianapolis duplicate was only
SlO,0OO,0O0 while in Cleveland 1t was
s430.OO0,OO0 and in Columbus $22,-
10000.
The superiority of the new over
the old order of things is plainly
seen.

FIVE MILLIONS SAVED THE

amount TO the inconcelyable total OF

CHARM OF RURAL
IRELAND is GREAT
Traveller Must Leave City of Dub
lin if He Would Really
Know Country.
There the Attractive Characteristics
Of the People Are Portrayed-Sonss
and Tales of the Days When Fac
ton Fighting Was the Fashion.

I IRELAND has many surprises for the
1 traveller whose opinion of the Irish
has been formed from his visits to the
theater, where pat" is always dressed
IN some impossible style, speak
ing a harsh and disagreeable tongue,
and always ready to obtrude his i'm
portance upon the audience. If such
O. type ever existed, it has left Ireland,
for the brogue of the Irish is a pleas
ant diversion to those who visit the
land. There it is recognized as the
accomplishment of those who have
preserved their own native Gaelic
tongue, and who speak it in soft, pleas
ing voices. Perhaps it is because the
other races have generally failed to
understand the people of Ireland that
the inhabitants of the land, although
cordial, assume a ! reserve with
strangers. If, however, a tourist
boasts of a relationship with one Of
their countrymen he is at once taken
into the hearts of the people, who
love to feel fellowship with their
guests.
The traveller who selects the city
of Dublin for his sightseeing in Ire
land will never feel that he has seen
the land. Excepting the fact that one
hears there the soft, musical voices of
the people and sees at the hotels aris-
tocratic old ladies often wearing long
white wells extending from the backs
of their heads to the trails of their
dresses in the style worn by Queen
Victoria, and excepting the fact that
one eats corned beef and cabbage
served at a good class hotel in the
middle of a very hot summer and yet
enjoys it, one would hardly realize
that he is in Erin's isle.
Happily for the tourist, ST. Patrick's
land is mostly peasant Ireland. In the
rural districts one finds gems OF
scenery, and 1t is there, too, that the
attractive characteristics OF the peo-
pie are portrayed. Southern Ireland
is so poor in farm lands that the trav-
eler wonders how the peasants live,
surrounded in many places by rocks,
heather fields and peat boys, with
here and there only g. little patch OF
reclaimed land, where a few potatoes
or some green's may be grown.
Even pigs are scarce. Unless these
little grunters are really kept in the
parlors of the one or two roomed
cabins, they are noted more for their
absence than by their presence. The
beautiful HEATHER fields of the island
are snare for the stranger who starts
to gather bunch OF the pretty weeds.

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had a few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
1--WE used a number Of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got cake of Cuti-
