PARIS, May 30.-After two months
Of intensive work by the military
ana civil authorities in the district
devastated by the recent German re-
treat a distinct improvement is begin
ming to be observable, says a semi
official statement. The repair Of roads
and the turning to useful account of
everything not destroyed has contribut-
ed materially to changing the aspect

morale of the people of the district has
undergone improvement. Civil life is
gradually being resumed, trade is
showing signs of revival and there is
a general reawakening of the agricul-
tural and economic activities of the
region.
The bringing in of seed for the
farmers has permitted the planting OF
considerable tracts Of land and the
army has given assistance by lending
the workers horses and harness for
agricultural uses. In some parts OF
the devasted region the first signs OF
the new crops already have begun to

TAX WILL BE LEVIED ON UNAS-
SESSED PROPERTY.

Several thousand dollars in intan-
gible property, which had gone un-
assessed for years in Bourbon county,
will be unearthed from its hiding
place in ten days work by the as
SCISSOR and his deputies, using as
chief weapons, the new Kentucky
tax law.
There are many reasons, why the
property which had hitherto gone
unbound, will be turned in willing
ly for listing. This year when
stocks, bonds and mortgage notes
are given in for taxation which had
not been spoken of to the assessor in
past years, there is no back tax suit.
This Chases away the fear of being
punished for past SHINING, and leaves
only the taxation for this year to be
faced by the man who gives in his
full intangible property.
The failure for giving in the full
amount of the paper property is also
punishable by higher increase this
year. A penalty of 100 per cent. and
added interest will be enforced, the
assessor says, on intangible property
not given in.

CONSERVATIVES SHOULD AVOID
TOBACCO AND LIQUOR.

DR.. Holden, medical director and
superintendent of the Agnes Memo
rial Sanitarium, Denver, is so sure
of the deleterious effects of tobacco
on tuberculosis patients, either in
smoking or chewing, that if the patti
ent persists in their use after his at
tention has been called to the rule he
is dismissed from the institution.
tuberculosis people should make a
note of this and shun the use of the
weed which has been shown to be so
detrimental to improvement and
cure. tuberculosis is a disease that
exhausts vital energy and anything
that assists in this depletion should
be vigorously discarded. This is
why the use of liquors is prohibited
as all dissipation tends to aid the
progress of the deadly disease unless
arrested. Absolute relaxation and
rest of mind and body, fresh air, sun
shine, nutritious food, cleanliness and
cheerfulness are indispensable requi-
sites in the treatment of the disease
and those who have paid diligent at
tention to them have as a general
thing felt the delight of improve
ment. AS consumption is slow in de-
veloping, it is also slow of cure. The
patient must rid himself of the idea
that he can be cured in short time.
1t may take months and it may take
years, therefore do not weary in
well doing for in due season We shall
reap if We faint not" We have the
Bible for authority. If you would
