Are School Taxes Too High?

There are three local institutions
authorized to levy taxcs-the county
the city, aud the school. In these the
county has always levied the full limit
allowed by law. 81 has the city. The
school district does not, and has not
done so for several years 1t is the
only one of the taxing institutions that
has consistently kept below the legal
limit and is entitled to credit instead
OF abuse for doing 80.
Our levy for 1914 is: bond, 3 mills;
general, - mills. We are 8 mills be-
low the limit
have written to u number of other
districts of similar situation and size
S)me of them are AS follows: Superior.
~ miles; Alma y: McCook, 81: Minden
30; Chadron. 80; Central City, "a;
g ,neva, 80; Wymore 81.
We are doing AS well as other dis
tricts and are getting IA better school
IL we have chance to go ahead am
n 1T in favor Of cutting down the school
levy. We need it to develop the
schools and ought not to be crippled
at this time.

NINE PERSONS HURT:
 TROLLEYS PIN AUTO
Branford and Momauguin Cars Crash Into Plainfield, N. J., Mans
 Machine at East Haven.

New Haven, Sept. 1.-Nine passen- gers on two Branford and Momau- Guln trolley cars were injured last night at o'clock, when a seven-pas- senger Stevens-Duryea touring car, driven by man named Wheeler and containing his wife, of Park avenue, PIa1nf1eld, N. J., attempted to sh0ot ahead Of Branford car in charge of Motorman J. Hogan and was caught between city-bound car and an ap- preaching Momauguin trolley on Main street near GariSh avenue, East Haven. The heavy auto was caught between the two trolleys, and though it was smashed to a mass of tangled iron, both the occupants escaped with minor injuries.
 The quick stops made by the trolley cars threw many passengers from their seats and seven were treat ed for cuts and sprains by pr. Chas. w. Holbrook and later were taken to their homes in autos.
 Mrs. Wheeled was able to free her sell from the wreckage and was as- sisted into a nearby house in a hys- terical condition, while the trolley crew and passengers worked over the wreckage to extricate her husband. The heavy tonneau of the car had fallen over his body in such man. ner as to make it impossible for him to move, although it's protection is believed to have been all that pre- vented him from being instantly killed. When he was finally taken out those present. among them sever al physicians, were surprised to find him only slightly hurt. He sustained a gash on his forehead and a cut be- meath his lip, but further injuries were not apparent. The most serious ly injured of the trolley passengers were Mrs. Frederick Brown asd her son, five years old, who sustained badly sprained backs when they were thrown against a seat.

MUSCULAR BACKACHE

The muscles of the back do the heavy work of the body. When they are over- worked or ill nourished they ache and people who are looking for trouble begin to worry about their kidneys.
 Backache may be due to lumbago, which is rheumatism of the muscles of the back, but more backaches are caused by overstrain, overwork and muscle starvation due to thin blood than by any, thing else.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills build up tho blood and sufferers from backache would do we'll to try this treatment before giv- ing way to worry over a fancied organic disease. Rest and the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams Pink Pills will cor rect most forms of backache, even rheu- matic.
 For people who work too hard or dance too much and sleep too little, better habits and course of treatment with Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are all that are needed to drive away the pains and aches that are warnings of coming break down.
 Two books, "Building Up the Blood" and "Nervous Disorders will be sent free, if you are interested, by the Dr. Will Hams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. f. You can get Dr. Williams Pink Pills at the nearest drug store or by mail at 50 cents per box six boxes, $2,50.

The official announcement from from Berlin that the army of General von Beseler, released by the fall of Novogeorgiewsk, has been dispatched to the north wing of the front and has appeared opposite Friedrichstadt, on the Dvina, between Riga and Dvinsk, aroused much interest in London. It is taken to mean that, despite the de- velopment of the new offensive in the south toward Odessa and the Black sea ports, there is to be no relaxation of the effort to secure the line of the Dvina in the north. General von Beseler, known as the "battering ram," has won fame because hereto fore he invariably has been placed in command of besieging forces because of his skill in handling the German heavy artillery, the AZ centimeters and 3O.5 centimeters. Military men are wondering whether he has taken his heavy artillery with him into the the Courland swamps, and if so, what this portends

ADVOCATE DECIMAL
 SYSTEM OF COINAGE
Soldiers Returning to Great Britain From France Recognize Its
 Advantages.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 London, Aug. 27.-Proposals to es- tablish a decimal system of coinage in Great Britain are again receiving at tention in the newspapers. The latest advocates are soldiers returning from France who have become accustomed to the decimal system in use there, and have quickly recognized its ad- vantages
 The proposal most generally en- dorsed in England is that the farthing be made the basis of the new system. There is already a coin of this de- nomination in use in England, it's value being one-fourth of a penny, or about half of an American cent. It is proposed to make on hundred far things equal to one florin (the com mon two-shilling piece of English coinage, equivalent to 50 cents Amer ican) This involves only a trifing change from the present system, whereby 96 farthings made on f1orin.
 Under the proposed system the units of money would be:
 100 farthingS made one f1Orin;
 10 hOrins make one pound
 The shilling would thus become an intermediate coin, representing 50 farthings, and the siX-pence a similar intermediate coin, representing 25 farthings.

LAUGH OUT JINGOES,
 ACTRESS TELLS WILSON
May Irwin Offers to Guide Fool Killer and Relieve Presl-
 dent Of Pests

Washington, Sept May Irwin, the actress, has written letter to President Wilson, in which she say
 1T am only a humble almost t-citl- zen, but l think it the duty of every woman, child or man to encourage you with a direct approval of yoru course. Hence this letter. With out presumption permit me to express the greatest admiration for and personal sense of security in the policy you are pursuing.
 ''I would like to see new depart ment added to the government to be known as the department of laughter. The function of it should be to laugh out of court these fools and self seekers, these pests and jingoes who are trying to annoy you in your work The rulers of old had their Sir Mot leys and testers for just such a pur- pose.
 II respectfully apply for the port 1ollo oA tHAS department on the sup position that l know good laugh when l see one. My first action would be to request the biological depart ment of the Smithsonian Institution to attempt to propagate the fool killer and I'd put him to work inn mediately.
 All of the published pictures of you are serious-masterful but too serious. Yet I think that if this de- partment were properly managed you might be persuaded to wear that which you so justly deserve, tho smile of popular approval"

NORWAY'S AUTO TIRE
 SUPPLY EXHAUSTED
Many Taxicabs in Christiana Forced To Go Out of Business-Farmers
 Also Hard Hit.

correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Christiania, Sept. 1.-Norwegian owners of automobiles are. hard hit by the announcement of dealers that the supply of tires has been exhausted end it is impossible to replenish the stock to any extent because the bel Hgerent countries are taking up all the worlds supply. At present it IS said there is not a new tire to be bought at any price anywhere in Nor way.
 The situation is much more than annoying, for it will have a serious economical effect on Norwegian farm ing. It is doubtful that if any country has adopted the automobile more ex- tensively in a public way, for in Nor way the sparsley settled hills have never been able to support railways and the automo obile has come to be the principal means of communication and transportation both for the farm CT and commercial men. The in- numera ble cases which have been put to service in recent years are all of foreign manufacture, for there is no automobile factory in Norway and the same is true as to oil, gasoline and tires. The importation of tires has steadily decreased since the European war began, and the present impos- sibility of obtaining new tires has forced many of the taXicabs in Christ iania to go out of business. The cars Cn the public autom obile routes in the country are wearing their tires down to the last thread, and it appears their service may soon have to be cancelled.
 The Royal Automobile Club, of which King Haakon is honorary presi- dent, is now negotiating with foreign governments in the hope of getting permission to import tires, with guar anty on the part of Norway that the tires will not be exported to any of the belligerent nations.

NEW SYSTEM FOR
 TREATING WOUNDS
Year of War Works Revolution in Surgeons Methods for Dealing
 With Battlefield Injuries.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.l
 London, Sept. IA year of war has worked a revolution in the army surgeons method of dealing with the ordinary wounds of the battlefield which, on account of the changed character of the projectiles, are more secure than in previous wars. In al most every instance of wounds from modern artillery, the broken tissues are found by the surgeon to have be- come infected by scrapes of cloth or other material, on a scale without precedent At the start, most of the surgeons relied on a stringent appli- cation of recognized methods Of an- tisepsis to combat this infection. The tissues were deluged with powerful germicides, even strong carbolic acid being employed.
 The success of this method, how ever, was far from complete, and gradually new system, based on we'll known principles, but entirely novel in application, was substituted.
 One of the elementary principles of physics is that if a vessel contains two solutions of varying strength divided from each other by an ami nal membrane, liquid will pass from the weaker to the stronger solution until ultimately both are at the same strength. This was brought into ac- tion in the treatment of wounds in order to stimulate the action of the serum of the blood, which has strong antiseptic properties. The wound is filled with liquor solution of salt and sodium citrate at a considerably greater concentration than that in the serum of the blood. Under the in fuence of the liquid the serum is poured out from the body into the wound, tending both to cleanse it and to destroy the bacteria that are pres Cnt.
 This system has the great advan- tage that it leaves the tissues unim- l.aired by the fluids used for the des- truction of germs. ''The full recog- milton of the efficiency of this method, introduced largelyd through the ef- forts of Sir Almroth Wright" says d medical writer, must be regarded as one of the most important advances made in surgery as a result of the war;"

WISE WILL NAME IT'S
OWN HEALTH OFFICERS
First County In Virginia TO Employ
sanitarian for His Entire
Time.

The first local health officer to be
employed to give his entire time to
the improvement of sanitary cOndi-
tons will soon begin work in Wise
County, according to an announcement
made today by the State Board OF
Health.
Along with other counties OF the
Southwest. Wise has shown much In
terest in the public health and has
co-operated very fully with the State
Board of Health In the various educa-
tional and sanitary campaigns recent
ly conducted In that part of Virginia.
The results of what has already been
done and an appreciation OF the fur
Their possibilities of health work led
the Board Of Supervisors at their last
meeting to appropriate $4,000 for the
salary and expenses of fuli-time
health officer. The county will allow
$1,000 for salary, with a contingent
fund Of 5000 for expenses. A health
of'icer viii probably be elected at the
next meeting OF the Board Of Super
visors.
The state Board Of Health, In an
nouncing the action of Wise County In
Its weekly bulletin. issued today, COM
ments as follows on the Significance Of
the county's action In its general bear
ing on the health situation In Vir-
ginia:
..As one of the richest and most
progressive counties in the State. Wise
has taken the lead in a movement Of
the greatest significance to the health
of the entire Commonwealth. Hereto
fore one OF the most serious health
problems with which the people have
had to contend was that of procuring
efficient health administration In rural
districts. In most counties all the
