A profound silence followed as the

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of Sc,
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
Of the patients urine. He knows that un.
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health Of these important organs.

remarkable success as kidney remedy ia

Voters of state renowned for its
motion picture, real estate, scenic
fruit-ranch, promoting proclivit,es, are
going 10 decide whether or not Single
Tax shall lie adopted
The proposed amendment to the
state constitution of California includes
the following paragraph
Land holdings shall be equally
assessed, according to their value for
use or occupance, without regard to
the work of man thereon, this valne
shall be determined in municipalities
and wherever else practicable, by
''Somer's System, or other means of
computation from central locations"
Single Tax, of which the late Mr..
Fels was probably the most active ex-
ponent in recent years, may stand bet
ter chance in young and progressive
state, than in the older and more con-
servative states. where the ancient
tradition that community created val
ues are gifts from kind providence
to the fortunate but non constructive
land holder. Missouri is one of the
conservative states that has battled
with the single tax proposition. Des-
pite a vigorous campaign the issue was
lost. Tradition. sometimes called con-
servatism, has strong grip on Mis-
souri,. 1t is probably one of the hard
est states in the union in which to
carry to success progressive legislation.
In California things are very diff
ferent. Here we find comparatively
few big holders of large pieces of idle
land IN the cities. In the arabic
country the land spectators have Just
about played their part. The arabic
portions of unimproved land held by
investors" for higher values, and the
city lots held for the same reason, will
bear the brunt of taxation if the bill
passes the legislature
The "Somer's system" of deter
mining ground values is generally re-
cogulzed as being as perfect DIS any
system ever evolved. The value of
each plot of land is determined in re-
lation to it's physical proximity to
other values. That )s. the 200 foot
frontage, not built upon and lying idle
next to skyscraper, would be taxed
as much as the plot containing the
building. Thus the owner of a vacant
lot is compelled to either build, or sell
to someone who will build.

single tax some years ago. Under
this system the city has grown tre-
mendously. Neither are the values
inflated. On the other hand. the larg-
er and older cities of the Dominion do
not look with favor upon the attempts
to introduce the system. Here is
where tradition in the person of the
hereditary land holder prevents pro-
gress for the benefit of the community.
The position of California, to a
limited extent, is analogous to that of
Vancouver. insofar as local progressiv-
ism is concerned. Both sections have
enacted up-tO-date legislation. far in
advance of any created by their
tradition bound brothers in the older
and more conservative parts of their
respective countries.

Not His Job

81 m not supposed to do that said he,
When extra task he chanced to see;
"Thats not my job, and it's not my care,
So I'll pass it by and leave it there,
And the boss who gave him his weekly pay
Lost more than his wage on him that day.
''I'm not supposed to do that, he said,
''That duty belongs to Jim Fred
So little task that was in his way
That he could have handled without delay
Was left unfinished; the way was paved
For heavy loss that he could have saved.
And time went and he kept his place
But he never altered his easy pace,
And folks remarked how well he knew
The line of the task he was hired to do;
For never once was he known to turn
His hands to things not of his concern.
But there in his foolish rut he stayed
And for all he did he was fairly paid
But he rever was worth dollar more
Than he got for his toll when the week was o 'er;
For he knew too we'll when his work was through
And he'd done all he was hired to do.
If you want to grow in the world, young man,
You must do every day all the work you can;
If you find task, through it's not your bit,
And it should be done, take care of it;
For You'll never conquer rise if you
Do only the things you re supposed to do:
