printed daily. Can you realize what 1t
means to be reading over such lists
every day fearing to find the name Of q
brother. con or husband?
Zeppelin raids over England are get.
ting to be almost an every day occur.
renee. How much real damage these
moneters Of the air are doing is disputed.
The official reports nearly always claim
that the damage Is but slight while in
dividuals claim that they are much
larger. Four Zeppelins have been des-
troyed lately by British guns.
A. peculiar thing is that while the
Germans make persistent attacks on
England that they mostly keep away
from Scotland, ignore Ireland and
though practically just as near attack
London but omit Paris. Asyet whether
the Zeppelin or the aeroplane is the more
effective as war machine is not settled,
though along the actual battle lines the
Zeppelin has SO far not been used, while
the chief use of the smaller craft has
been in scouting in which they have
been very successful.
All things and critics point to the con.
t,nuation Of the war through the win
ter, though there is always the possibility
OF something decisive happening at any
time. Taking it as it looks we think
Germany aud Austria would be willing
to make peace at the present time on
the basis OF territory occupied. The
entente allies would be willing to make
peace ON the basis of the boundaries at
the beginning Of the war. These posi-.
tions are Of course incompatible and
hardly possible of compromise. But
that all the countries would welcome
peace is very certain, though for military
reasons neither country dares to say So.
Perhaps, one of the most satisfactory
apparent issues of the war is that as
time goes on we fnd how little danger
that this country has of being drawn in
to the eight. And further that we never
were in any great danger Of such cat.
astrophe. It is quite apparent that
neither Of the warning nations wants the
United States against it. AS a matter
of fact the moral and commercial weight
of the United States would be sufficient
to decide the struggle. without using
our army or navy. The struggle over
there is 50 equal that the power of the
U. s. it it declared for or against one or
the other, would tip the balances-and
the governments over across the water
all appreciate the fact.

Less railroad taxes

Population, 5 for each vote, toilette 38'
Carlisle 6l5.
FOURTH CHAPTER

FOURTH CHAPTER
In this closing article of this series we
call special attention to the townships of
toilette and Carlisle. We gave the as
sessment figures in these two townships
to show that the figures for the state,
county and townships are approximate
as to valuation and that the late of taxa.
tion varies mostly from local needs and
local assessments and that the state and
county levles vary but little, either per
capita or in percentage.
Thus it will be seen by the figures
that toilette as a whole pays very
much larger per capita tax than does
Carlisle. These two townships lie along.
side each other and are both of the same
area consisting of two congressional
townships. Owing to the fact that there
are more people in Carlisle it is probable
that the land is therefore more valuable
per acre, though both townships have a
very large amount of uncultivated lands
and nonresident farms.
While the fact that SO large part of
the land is held in these townships by
non resident spectators direct dis
advantage in many Ways, yet when it
comes to taxation the resident popula.
tion has some opportunities of advan.
tage. 1t is as we have said, the resident
population that levies the bulk of the
taxes. 1t is clear therefore that the
residents can we'll afford to pay heavy
taxes when by the same motion they
force the nonresident spectators to pay
equally. This is all the more true be-
cause the residents have the disposal of
the non resident taA money. The non.
resident money goes to help pay for
schools and roads where they are need.

WHO ARE BRITISH?

A "British" but not English friend
calls us down because We have been
using the term ''English" as applied to
the fighting forces, instead of "British. :"
He Is correct in this, but after all the
word "British" is little mixed itself.

Parents Should Know
 This Splendid Remedy
Simple Lax q tive Compound Helps to Correct Consti-
 patton in Children

With all children there are times when the bowels fail to act naturally and it becomes necessary for the par- ents to administer a remedy. Cathar- tics and purgatives should never be used as these agents afford only tenn porary relief while their violent action shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva F. Calf, 517 10th St., Washington, D. C., says that her little girl, Marie, had been subject to constipation, and that she found Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin the best remedy because of it's miIdness, and now always keeps a bottle of it in the house.
 Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs. free from opiates or narcotic drugs of any kind, and is an ideal remedy for children because of it's mild action and positive effect. Its use tends to strengthen the impaired bowel action and restore normal regularity.
 It is important that parents should know of a dependable remedy with no unpleasant a6ter effects. gripping or strain. pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
