The success of this method, how
ever, was far from complete, and
gradually a new system, based on
we'll known principles, but entirely
novel in application, was substi-
tuted.
One of the elementary principles
o. physics is that If vessel con-
tains two solutions of varying
strength divided from each other by
an animal membrane. liquid will
pass from the weaker to the stronger
holution until ultimately both are
at the same strength This prin-
ciple was brought into action in the
| treatment of wounds In order to
stimulate the action Of the serum of
thine blood, which has trong anti
septic properties. The wound is
filled with liquid solution Of salt
and sodium citrate at a considerably
greater concentration than that in
the serum of the blood. Under the
influence of this liquid the serum Is
poured out from the body into the
wound, tending both to cleanse il
and to destroy the bacteria that are
present.
This system has the great ad
vantage that it leaves the tissue:
unimpaired by the fluids used fol
the destruction Of germs. 1.-THE full
recognition of the efficiency of thii
method, introduced largely through
the efforts OF Sir Almroth Wright,
says a medical writer. must be re
garded as one of the most import

TAX COMMISSION
May CALL CONFERENCE
Of TAX PAYERS

Tallahassee, Aug. 23 3.-The State
tax commission has issued the fol-
lowing letter concerning tax assess
ments:
Dear Sir: The person most vitality
interested in the just and equal val
uation of property Cor the assess
ment of taxes is the taxpayer. The
one person who suffers and bears the
burden of equal valuation is the tax
payer. The person who has no pow
er to correct the evils of unequal
valuations is the taxpayer.
1t is in the hands Of city and town
tax assessors of taxes and the equal
izing boards of the several cities and
towns to bring about an equal bur-
den of taxation for city and town
taxes; 1t is upon the shoulders Of
the county assessors Of taxes and the
board Of county commissioners to
bring about just and equal valua-
tions among the taxpayers in the
county. Until the legislature Of
1913 there was no person or body of
persons whose specific duty 1t was
to bring about equality Of valuations
between the several counties or be-
tween same classes Of property In
the several counties. At that time
the tax commission was established,
and among other things was given
that specific duty.
We believe that as a rule the city
assessors and boards are honestly
striving to value Justly the property
for city assessments.
We are sure that the county as
SCISSORS of taxes and the boards of
county commissioners are, as rule,
working toward an equality Of valu-
alton in their several counties,
The county tax assessors and the
boards Of county commissioners,
with few exceptions, and the tax
commission, are doing all in their
power to equalize the valuations
among the several counties and the
same classes of property in the sew
eral counties. They are, in a meas
! ure, succeeding, but they need the
support and assistance Of the man
most vitality affected by unjust val
iiation-the man that pays.
We believe that II we had the CO.
operation of the man who Is now
paying his full share Of taxes, or
more than his full share Of taxes, in
getting placed on the tax books that
property that Is now wholly escap-
ing taxes and getting equalized the
valuations that are now on the tax
rolls, that the burden Of taxation
would be much lighter on all than II
ia now on those who pay.
1t Is not in the power Of the as.
SCISSORS, the boards of county com.
missioners nor the tax commission tc
severally or jointly bring about Q
just and equal valuation of the
property of the State without the
help of the taxpayers. To that end
the tax commission has in mind Il
call a conference of all classes ol
taxpayers in the State of Florida, tt
confer with the officers who have tt
do with the assessment of taxes fol
the purpose of discussing the presen
faults in the laws and the methods
for assessment and of equalizini

DOES NOT BELIEVE UNIVERSAL
PEACE WILL FOLLOW WAR
(By Associated Press }

London, August 23-The Dean of
Durham does not believe that the
war will result in general disarma-
ment and universal peace when the
war drums throb no longer and the
hattie flags are furled." In an ad-
dress at West Hartlepool he pre-
dicted that in England the certain
consequence Of the war would be
"the universal obligation. to mili-
tary service" on the Swiss model.
Never again." he said, "can We
run the risk Of having the whole
fortunes of our land and empire left
to voluntary effort, however widely
distributed and magniflcently rend-
cred"

Bristling with all the life and humor
of a musical comedy and embodying all
the good points of a first-class produc-
ton. Romans Musical Revue. which
opened a weeks engagement at tine City
Opera house, Monday can easily he called
the best show of it's kind seen here for
many along day. Catchy muaic well ren-
dered, pretty girls, a cast that is not
cheap nor tawdy, and acting that is not
overdone are some of the features of the
production that lifts it above the ordi-
nary type of musical comedies. The cho-
rus pieces and the dancing are new, en-
retaining and are executed in a manner
that attracts more than passing notice
There are several good soloists in the
troupe. and the dancing is exceptionally
good, especially the fancy dancing.
Crowded houses greeted both perform
ances Monday, and it was necessary to
render several encores to some OF the
numbers The show. as a whole, made
hit from start to finish, and those who
enjoy something good. wholesome and
entertainment should not fail to see it.
