Turn on Home LIahts

The Denver (Colo.) Gas Company
had q surprise In store for it as re-
suit OF the voters putting the saloons
Of that city out of commission. The
gas company feared that it would lose
$4,000 a month because of the dark,
ened barrooms. The surprise came
when the books were audited and the
company found that it had made a
gain in the first dry month OF s10, 900
William ]. johnson explained the re-
suit thus:
For every closed saloon, in
hundred homes the lights are shin
ing, for the fathers who formerly
: frequented the barrooms are now
at home with their families.
What cheerful commentary it is!
Wherever saloons are darkened the
homes are frightened. Give US more
darkened saloons and turn on the
home lights.

Of DR.. NJ. E. Charter. Faculte de Paris, France
DR.. Charter uses a sponge bath made Of
cz- Tyree's Ant!septic Powder in one gallon
OF water as preventive anc cure He says he
finds the powder to be a deodorizer and stimu-
liant Of the skin and an alleviator Of pain
Two teaspoonfuls Of the pure powder In a pint
Of water gave him excellent results in q case
Of Poison Oak after all other remedies had

from the use Of the same strength solution In
Eczema.
The fender skin Of a child Is exceptionally
sensitive TO heat Tyree's Antiseptic Powder

HouSekeepers Can Save
$500, 900, 900 on Food

In these days when the high cost of
living pincheS nearly every home, no
waste should be overlooked. One of
the most fragrant and the most easily
prevented, is the destruction of food
by rats. One rat will often do a hun
dred dollars damage of food and prop
erty in a single night, and a careful
estimate gives over 100000, 900 as
the value of foodstuffs destroyed an
nually by these pests. Exterminate
them with Stearns' Paste and save
this enormous loss of food. A small
tox Of Stecrns' Paste costs cniy thirty
five cents and is usually enough to
completely rid the house of rats and
mice; also effective against cock
reaches and Waterbugs.-Adv.

Liquor license commissioners last

Five applicants for renewals we're re-
jected and two were held up pending
trial on charges Of law violations. The
withdrawal Of six licenses was ap
proved. The owners of these have quit
business because Of the increased cost
Of operation. In addition, there are
10 applications held up pending hear
ings on complaints of state inspector
or for other reasons. Columbus is en-
titled by law to 4S3 saloons. There
were 3S3 applications in all. It is the

Providing that the estate Is worth

Snatch has said, the inheritance taxes
alone would amount TO $i0l,230. dl-
vfded as follows: Federal, SILL ,1op'
California, S2i9,7j0.
But If the value OF the estate IS
1000 .0On, as local business men
have conjectured, these would be the
figures: Federal inheritance tax. $l.-

's2,71I,25O.
In both cases the federal tax Is com
puted according 10 the law of March
3. 1917. but the rates OF inheritance
taxes have been raised, by the recent
congress as part OF the war financing
program.
Hawaii will also come in Tor slice
of inheritance taxes upon such tax

In operating portable railroads. per

when the field is ready for cutting,
temporary tracks are run out at right
angles to the main line, 80 feet apart.
Since these tracks are load across

rough and incapable OF sustaining the
