OHIO AND WEST VIRGINIA

The other day the Sentinel re-
marked that the State OF Ohio seemed
TO be paying its debts and moving
along very nicely. though the prop
erty owners paid the State only one
third as much I'm taxes as they pay
I'm West Virginia. There was a
slight error In this statement. One
iwenty-second Is nearer the correct
fraction than one-third. IL Ohio abol-
sshed the liquor traffic the one-third
proportion would be about correct
Parkersburg Sentinel CDemocraU.
The above is true. but only partly
true. What the Sentinel neglected 10
ray was that in the State OF Ohio
every oil and gas pipe line pays four
per cent. Of its gross revenues 20 The

~ corporation. by which we mean

pany. electric light company, gas or

Its intra,State business. IL the big

government would be practically moth

threat of an increase. When tax dodg.
ers. and privileged interests in partic-
ular, begin to refer TO Ohio as an ox-
ample. they do well to shy away from
the real facts. Ohio's example. Pena.
sylyania's example. and the example
OF every progressive State in the
Union practically illustrates exactly
the principle Of taxation which the
Republican majority in the House OF
Delegates and the majority OF the Re
publican members in the State Senate
sought vainly to write into law
through a large number OF different
bills during the last regular and extra
SESSIONS OF the legislature.

bad again replying to the criticisms
OF former Secretary OF the Navy
George Won L. Meyer, OF Massachu-
sets. Commenting on Mr.. Meyers
suggestion that a council OF defense
should be created. the Secretary OF
the Navy replied that there was such
council in existence. and in answer
to question II n ever met. he as
sured his questioner that IL did. When
pushed to name the time OF its last
meeting. Dir. Daniels relapsed into
one OF Col. Roosevelt's plghts as
witness. and could not remember.
One OF Representative Gardeners dis
tinct charges was that this council
bad met but once since Wilson be-
came President. and 1t is supposed It
showed too much efficiency then. for
the President forbade II TO hold an
other meeting until It received in
structions.
Among the remedies suggested by
MIR. Meyer for the Improvement of
naval conditions was the enactment
OF an automatic enlistment that
would provide for a corresponding
number OF men every time tonnage
was added to the navy. Il do not

Cosmetics Not Needed;
Peel the Skin Instead

One reason mercolized wax is 80
strongly recommended is that it really
takes the place Of several different
cosmetics, saving time. patience and
expense. 1t Is better than any cleans
ing cream. better than any massage
cream. and better than any rouge. for
accomplishing the results for whuch
such articles are used. AS the wax
actually absorbs an old, faded or dis
colored cuticle, little each day, the
underlying skin which gradually ap-
pears, is clearer. softer. healthier. hued
and more youthful than any cosmetic.
made complexion. Spreading on a
thin coat of this wax at night. wash
ing it off mornings. in a week or so
produces marvellous transformation.
Just one ounce of mercolized wax, OBJ
tainable at any drug store, will do the
work. There's nothing better to re-
move freckles, moth patches, liver
spots. sallowness, blotches, pimples or
blackheads.
For wrinkles and loose. saggy skin,
q face bath made by dissolving 1 o.
powdered saxolite in II pit. witch hazel
is the best thing that can be recon-
mendcd. This has remarkable astrin-
gent and tonic properties.-Adv.

''Pape's Diapepsin" Ends All
Stomach Distress in
Five Minutes.

Time 1t! Pape's Diapepsin will d.
gest anything you eat and overcome a
sour. gassy or out-of-order stomach

If your meals don't fit comfortably,

heartburn, that is sign Of indigestion.
Get from your pharmacist a fifty
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take
a dose just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings. no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, nausea,
facilitating headaches, dizziness or
intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out-of-order stomachs. because it
takes hid of your food and digests it
just the same as il your stomach
wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ache misery is waiting for you at any

ach disorders and indigestion for many
