her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
OF caring for the child, and Z distinct
change In the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children
and indeed childbirth under the RIGHT
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
Will persist In going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should relv

Incredible That People Should
Have Been MisIed
In Regard To Improvement
In Taxation Methods

Columbus, O., Aug. 11-Official tax
assessment returns made to the state
tax commission by the authorities in
the counties of Ohio are proving be-
yond doubt that the Warnes law is
| working efficiently even in the hands
of it's enemies. The indications are
that the duplicate of the state will be
increased in the sum of more than
twenty millions of dollars, and this in
the face of the fact that millions of
dollars worth of intangible property
has within the past year been turned
into non-taxable securities. Viewing
this it seems incredible that the peo.
pie of Ohio could have been so misled
in regard to the evident improvement
in taxation methods. In an admins.
tration full of mistakes the tinkering
with the tax problem by the Willis re-
gime will not be found to be the least
Now that the duplicates have been
made up and the budget commission
ers are at work, the presence or alb
sence of true administrative ability
on the state tax commission will make
itself felt. That it is noticeable in
the absence is being impressed at the
present time by notices of increased
tax rates coming from all parts of
the state. Last year the tax spenders
l. toly luo foe cf
greatly increased duplicate and the
people got the benefit of an honest
listing in the decreased rates. But
this year it's different. Two of the
tax commissioners are vacationing in
the west, leaving on the job James
Boyle, single-taXer, who frankly oppos-
es the present system and as frankly
admits his lack of knowledge con-
cerning it.
Last year the Warnes law assessors
in Franklin county established base
line of value for William Ritter, mil
lionaire lumber dealer, who for the
first time in his life was forced to pay
taxes on his just valuation in Ohio.
Then Ritter went to Washington, D..
c., to live, and the Republican papers
made a gerat to-do about the Warnes
law driving capital from the state.
When Willis was elected with his tout
ed promises to let the hopeful come
into their own Ritter came marching
back. But the Warnes law proved just
| as adamant in the hands of Willis Re-
publicans as it had in the hands of
Cox Democrats. The assessors put
Ritter OH the books again, and horrid
thought! they boosted his assessment
