KANSAS TAX RATE DECREASES.

In 1880, under license, the Kansas
tax rate for state purposes was 5.5
mills on the dollar. The Nebraska
rate was only 3.9 mills. In 1881 the
Kansas rate dropped to 5 mills, while
the Nebraska rate increased to 6.1. In
1882 the figures stood: Kansas, As;
Nebraska, 6.7. In 1883 the rate was,
Kansas, 4.3; Nebraska, 7.S. In 1885 the
Kansas rate had further dropped to
SO, but Nebraska, with saloons to pay
part of her revenue, had been COM
PEELED to raise her rate to TT.
In 1914 Kansas had reached the re-
markably low figure of IL mills, while
Nebraska, whose people failed to fol-
low Kansas example in outlawing
saloons, was suffering under rate of
78 mills.
"And yet" says the Portland (Me.)
Evening Express, "the booze represen-
tatives in local option contests have
the effrontery to warn the people
against outlawing the saloons because
You will have to pay more taxes!'"

Strength and Twenty-tour
Pounds by Taking vinol.

Corinth, Miss: az am a city tax
collector and seventy-four years of age.
1 was in a weak, rundown condition so
that became exhausted by every little
exertion. My druggist told me about
Vinol, and decided to take it. In a
week l noticed considerable improve
ment; 1 continued its use and now /
have gained twenty pounds in weight,
and feel much stronger. l consider
Vinol fine tonic to create strength for
old people. ~. A. PRICE, Corinth.
Miss.
AS one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthened
and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
md invigorates feeble, rundown, nerv-
ous and aged people, and if it does not do
all we say, we will pay back your
money.

USE THE ROAD DRAG

There exists a prevailing opinion in
the minds of those who have used the
King road drag that the persistent use
of this simple drag will do the ordinary
earth roads more good for the amount
of time and labor required than any
other method of working ever proposed
Some of the best earth roads have been
made good by the use of this simple
implement. In fact, some advocates of
the drag claim that the trustees of
many townships could well afford to
sell the heavy road machines to junk
man and invest the proceeds in num-
Der of splitlog drags. Spasmodic use
of the split-log or similar drag or the
like use of any woodworking imple-
ment, will not make bad roads good
The drag is light and easily handled
and should be used as soon after each
rain as the condition of the surface will
permit. The job is quickly finished
and the results are surprising where
the dragging is carried on throughout
the year. Possibly the most marked
Improvement from the use of the road
drag will result from the early spring
dragging.

CONCERNS DEMAND ABSTINENCE.

The Milton Manufacturing company,
the American Car & Foundry COM
pany, and s. j. Sinner & Sons of
Milton, Pennsylvania, have issued or
ders demanding that their employees
abstain from alcohol and refuse to
sign license petitions of otherwise in
dictate sympathy for the saloon.
Thirty men were discharged by the
American Car & Foundry company
because they signed liquor license ap-
plications.
These companies do not desire to
influence the opinions of the employ
ees in regard to prohibition, but they
take the stand that the man who signs
a liquor license application does not
properly appreciate the danger of liq-
uor to himself and the community.
He is, therefore, not safe employee
for concern demanding efficiency.
Indulgence in the use of liquor is
a menace to all business interests"
declared Mr.. George S. Sinner, presi-
dent of the Milton Manufacturing
company. IF the employees should
be protected by the employer, why
shouldn't the employer be as well pro-
tected by the employee? Our employ
ees have congratulated us upon the
step we have taken"

DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.
Conducted by the National Womans
Christian Temperance Union.)

At a meeting of medical society a
prominent physician read a paper on
"Appetizers," in which he gave the
results of scientific experiments made
at Yale university DR.. e. III. Cleve-
land of Flower hospital, New York
city, writing of these to the New York
Times, says:
at seems that to one group of stu.
dents a good dinner was given with
out alcoholic accompaniment, and in
their case, couple of hours later,
normal digestion was found well ad-
vanced To the other group of stu
dents the same dinner was given, pre-
coded in each case by an appetizer
such as cocktail, gin fizz, etc. After
the same interval the digestive proc
esses of this second group were found
on examination to be imperfect. Ger
tain chemical elements in the food
taken showed that the digestive juices
had failed to act upon them, owing To
the presence of alcohol in combination
with these elements.
Serious and permanent interference
with normal digestion was clearly
proved by these experiments in every
instance. Had the investigations been
carried further, so as to include the
efficiency of mental action and nerve
reaction, as well as efficiency Of di-
gestive faculties, there is no doubt
that precisely similar results would
have been obtained.
"The appetizer, so called, Is not in
reality an appetizer at all, but is a
devitalizer, pure and simple, destruc-
tive of the normal processes of the
digestive apparatus and of the men,
tai powers in direct proportion to the
frequency with which it is taken"

M. Kharitonoff, comptroller of the

bles ($14,550,000J in December, 1914.

James Gidley reports customers
greatly pleased with the QUICK action
of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine,
ETC., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. This sim
pie remedy drains the old foul matter
from the bowels so THOROUGH that
ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE of constipation, sour or gassy

successfully in appendicitis. Adler-i-ka

ALSO LOSES INDEBTEDNESS.

Moundville, w. Va, has reduced its
floating Indebtedness from $4,000 to
5000. This floating Indebtedness
was piled up several years ago while
the city had big income from saloon
license" says the Moundsville Echo.
Now that the city has lost the saloon
revenue it has also rid itself of the
Indebtedness.

may not be dismissed because she aa-
sents herself from the public schools
to bear a child, Commissioner John
H. Finley OF the state department o.
education has decided.
BY the decision Mrs. Bridget Peix-

while absent without leave and who
was dismissed by the New York city

Mrs. Peixotto, who was dismissed
in April, 1913. carried her case TO tie

cided the determination OF the ques-
ton rested with the commissioner
of education
Mr.. Finley's decision pointed out
that a law providing that a woman
teachers position automatically be-
came vacant when she married, had
been declared unconstitutional.
His conclusion was: That the
board should have accepted the nat
ural coroIlary of its policy. voluntary
or enforced. of employing or retaining
married women teachers, and should
have given at least as favorable con-
sideration to an absence for child
birth as is normally given to absences

for purpose of study and travel, or OF

Dismissal for general inefficiency,
Mr.. Finley held, would be warranted
if upon return a teacher was found
unable, after trial, to perform school
duties.
But it is difficult to conceive the
decision read, how a reasonable, I'M
