deed, il the members were practical and
efficient business men, having at heart
the interests of the public, they could even
make reduction in the present rate,
so cents, or possibly rs cents, on the 500.
How, il may be inquiredY Simply by
conducting the county administration on
straight business principles. Tax collcc-
tions in New Castle have been shamefully
negligent for many years, and continually
the books show taxes overdue for sew
eral years back. This is a gross evil.
First, the Levy Court should make n
vigorous campaign for the immediate
collection of every dollar of overdue taxes.
This is n reasonable possibility.
Next. the Levy Court should resolve
to do as Kent county has done for several
years collect each years tax levy, to
the last dollar. during each taxable year.
II might require n change in the law TO
make this possible in New Castle county,
but the Legislature will be IN session next
year, and could easily make the required
changes in the law.
What will the Levy Court do? viii it
increase the tax rate. hold il where IT is,
or make IL gratifying reduction, which
would be possible under the largely in
creased assessment?

Prices of Monkeys Soaring.


 Who would think that the European war would have anything to do with the price of monkeys? Well, it does, and great deal, too, says the Popular Science Monthly. The price of monkeys has gone up with food, paper, shoes, etc, to the despair of the pathologist and to the Sorrow of the hurdy-gurdy man. The causes for the sudden cor ner in monkeys are the closing of the worlds principal wild animal market at Hamburg, Germany, and the lack of shipping facilities. Not long ago the pathologists of the national public health service at Washington wanted a dozen South American monkeys for experimental purposes. They appealed to every wild animal dealer in this country, to the zoos, and to the sailors in port, and finally purchased six at SIS each.

The symptoms of kidney and bladder troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in rundown condition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al- most every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.

 Through eight different congresses, not including the present one, Repre- sentative Kahn fought for prepared ness.

Congressman Kahn has drawn plans for an army of Ameri
