This Is query that has often been

officers shows what surprising re-
suits can be obtained with little
care. Potatoes have been almost en-
-tirely eliminated from the menu, but
In place of them other vegetables and
foodstuifs nave been added with the
same value.
Exceptions TO the general rule of
cutting down, or rather keeping with
In the allowances for foodstuffs, are
made at the sanatorium for tubercu-

home for aged soldiers at Sandusky.
Outside OF these--or in the penal in

tailment has been made in the cost of
the daily menu without in the least
reducing the food value of that which

big INCREASES
in RETURNS BY
new TAX Law

-IBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
Columbus, o., April 30-The taxpay-
er is much more honest in making his
own voluntary property return, under
the new law, than he ever was when
the assessor went around and listed
his property for him, according to
members of the state tax commission
The statement was based on compari-
sons IN returns from nine widely scat
uered counties.
Information furnished the commits.
sion by county auditors shows that In
every county hundreds of persons are
making tax returns who In the past
lhad been missed by the assessors and
who had failed TO make voluntary re-
turns. Under the new bipartisan law
heavy penalty is placed on persons
who fail to make returns. The final
date for tax listing is April 30.
Reports to the commission show that
the average property owner Is much
better assessor of his own property

WALKS FORTY MILES
TO GIVE HIMSELF UP
Man Wanted For Forgery Said He Was
Tired of Dodgins.

st. Louis.-Aftcr an effort which In
volved forty mile walk and appeals
to the authorities of two Missouri
towns, G. III. Brown, wanted on the
Kansas side for forgery, succeeded in
breaking into the Wyandotte county
Jail.
Brown left town Jan. 90. Coinciden-
tally an advertising company, by which
he was employed, asked his arrest on
a charge of forgery.
For more than a month the police
got no trace of the missing man. Then.
the other day, bedraggled individual
walked into the Office of the sheriff In
Mexico, Mo.
"I've walked forty miles to get
here" he told the sheriff I'm want
ed I'm Kansas City on forgery charge.
DO / go back?'
An investigation disclosed that the
story was true. Brown had tried to
give himself up to a marshal in Hawk
Point, Mo-, but the marshal hadn't
been interested. Then had come the
long walk.
Even the Mexico sheriff wasn't en-
thusiastic. Instead Of putting Brown
under arrest, he advised him that II
he was really intent on getting in jail
he might try the chief of police.
Brown, being of persistent nature,
went to the chief. The chief tele-
graphed Kansas City, and a deputy
sheriff returned with the prisoner.
Nothing unusual about It," said
Brown when questioned. II was tired
Of running around and hiding from
the police, that's all. I'm ready to
take my medicine now"
The amount involved in the forgery
was less than 500.

PART OF BABYLONIAN
EPIC IS TRANSLATED
Missing Book of GiIgamesh, Re-
garded as One of Oldest
Poems In World.

Philadelphia the University Of
lIs1ed recently is the translation Of a
BabylOnian tablet, which will be Of In
terest to the historical religious and
literary world. II is one of the miss
ing books of the epic of Gilgamesh,
regarded as one Of the Oldest and
noblest poems In the world The epic
was composed about the time Of
Abraham, but all known tablets and
fragments Of tablets containing 1t date
from much later period. George
Smith made the first discoveries more
than forty years ago. The tablet In
the University museum wes probably
written between 600 Il. C. and 300
B. c., he says 1t was translated by
Dr. Stephen Langdon, curator Of the
Babylonian section of the University
museum, and, according to that schol-
ar, contains important new material
bearing on the whole epic and also
supplies missing data and mentions
hitherto unrecorded nations. It tells
the story OF how barbarous man, In
the person OF Enlsidu, is redeemed by
the love and devotion Of woman.
Gllgamesh, half mythical king, by
many identified with Nimrod, ruled so
cruelty that the people asked the gods
for relief. The mother goddess made
from clay wild satyr, covered with
hair, but strong enough to oppose Gil
gamesh. who was two-thirds god.
