SEWAGE DISPOSAL IN THE
COUNTRY.

A system by which an isolated
dwelling, Cor small group of buildings)
having running water may dispose of
sewage safely and at small cost is rec
commended by the u. S. public health
service in one of it's recent weekly
reports.
The chief feature of the system,
which has been in successful opera
ton in New Hampshire for summer
cottage and hotels for ten years, is
a rectangular septic tank, of concrete,
with a minimum capacity of "a feet.
This will serve 20 people; four cubic
feet additional should be provided for
each additional person.
The tank should be buried under
~ to is inches of earth, as near as
practicable to the house, with which
it should be connected with piping.
The effluent from this tank which
contains organic matter that might be
Objectionable and even dangerous, is
commonly best disposed of by some
sort Of sub-surface irrigation whose
exact form will necessarily be gov
erned by the nature of the soil. Full
details are given in the report.
Before installing such a system,
however. the state health authorities
should be consulted, especially in the
limestone sections of the country,
where care Is necessary to prevent the
contamination of springs and other
underground waters.

WILL LLOYD GEORGE FALL?

There are American students of
British politics who now are firm in
their belief that the present British
government will not outlast the Will
son administration over here.
Lloyd George has a hard row to hoe
An indication of which way the wind
is blowing apparently is afforded by
the parliamentary election in Dover.
once overwhelmingly Tory, and for
years Lloyd George district.
Dover turned agaist Lloyd George,
electing Sir Thomas Poison, indepen-
dent, practically unknown, running
an anti-Lloyd George race. IIe trans
formed IA government majority of 5000
two years ago into an opposition ma
jority of $3.50.
This is much as if Georgia elected
republican governor, Pennsylvania
cast a democratic ELECTORAL vote, or
Indiana chose a socialist senator.
Maybe, though, Polson's platform
explains tine matter. He stood on
these planlls: Cut down waste: abol-
ish useless ministries; reduce taxa

INCOME TAX
FACTS

Changes wrought during the last
year by births, deaths, and maria ges,
affect materially income tax returns
for the year 1920. Millions of babies
were added to family circles, each of
whom brings an exemption of 5000 in
the parents income tax return.
Boys and girls who have become
self supporting, and whose parents al
low them the use of their earnings
without restriction, form a new class
of taxpayers. Each must file a re-
turn and pay tax on his or her net
income if such income was in excess
of $1,000.
Widows and widowers who lost their
husbands or wives during the year
1920 are especially affected. They are
single for the purposes of the income
tax law, and are granted only an ex-
emption Of $1,000, unless the head of
a family. Persons who were divorced
or separated by mutual agreement
during the year also must consider
themselves as single persons.
Widows and widowers are not re-
quirSd to show on their personal re-
turns income of husband or wife up to
the date of death. The income of a
decedent is considered separately, and
a return must be filed by the execu-
tor or administrator of the estate. A
decedent is entitled to exemption for
the full taxable year, based upon his
or her status as a single or married
person at the time of death.
The status of a taxpayer on Deem
Der 81, 1920 determines the amount
of the exemptions. If on that day the
taxpayer was married, and living with
husband or wife, claim may be made
for the $4,000 exemption. If single,
or married, and not living with hus-
band or wife on December 81, the ex-
emption is only $1,000.
The taxpayers status on December
81 determines also his right to the ex-
emption of $4,000 as the head of a
family. If on that date a single per-
son was supporting his household one
or more relatives, he is entitled to the
exemption. If his support of such rel
atives ceased during the year he is
entitled to the $1,000 exemption.

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM (. BARTON

I have never been a soldier. but I
have heard that the hardest tasks of
az soldiers life grow not out of it's
dangers but out of it's helpless mo-
potonies. Kipling has interpreted this
experience in lines which some people
tninS are doggerel, but which seem to
me to ge greatly rythmical and full
of the weary spirit of the heavy
march:
Were foot-slog- slog- slog sloggin'
over Africa!
Foot-foot- foot-foot -sloggin' over AZ
RIGA
Observation-Disclosures movin' up
and down againi)
There's no discharge in the wart
TRY try-try-try-to think of some
thing different
Oh-my- God-keep me from goin' luna
tic!
(Boots-boots-b oots-boots movin' up
and down againD
There's no discharge in the war!
Lave marched six-weeks in Ell and
certify
It-is-not-fire devils dark or anything
But boots boots boots boots moving
up and down again)
And there's no discharge in the war!"
1t is not the soldier alone who feels
this maddening sense Of monotony. I
have heard that among people who go
insane an abnormal proportion are
farmers wives. I should think it
might be true. The glory of nature
has no fair chance of inspiring lives
that, with the ceaseless iteration of
three meals a day, breakfast dinner
supper, grow depressed and hopeless
with the up-and- downward motion of
the boots.
More or less we all have that march.
No task in life is free from it's ele-
ment Of monotony. We can make our
selves as miserable as we like dwell
ing upon these aspects Of our pilgrim
age. But beside these there are other
considerations. Our march is not foot
less; we arrive. Our battle is not for
ever; we fight and conquer The boots
do more than move up and down;
they move forward. iAna at the days
end we camp in the language of the
good old hymn
And nightly pitch my moving
tent
A days march nearer home"

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Up through the sky sailed Nancy
and Nick in their magic green shoes,
carrying with them the white noun
tain flower that the bright star had
admired. Also Nick had his precious
box of charms. Don't think for one
minute he would ever forget that.
They were just in time getting away
from the top Of the mountain. for they
could hear the swish of the eagles
wings (the wicked Bobadil Jim it was
to tell you the truth), and they knew
that he was just as likely as not to
carry them both off again to some
dreadful place. Yes, they were safer
in the sky among the stars.
The eagle did not try to follow very
far. The sound OF his wings sud
denly ceased and the twins supposed
he had returned to earth. The white
flower in Nancy's hand moved. but
when she looked at it curfeusly it was
still again.
Up and up they went until they
came quite close TO the star. 1t was
swinging happily on q long rope hang
ing from a corner of the moon.

Repair While the

A casual inspection of the Winter
Garden Oakland road the Orlando
Winter park, as well as the Apopka
road will show that because of the ex-
cessive travel over these trunk lines
of Orange county's road system they
are deteriorating.
The Winter Park road, which is Of
grouted brick, is about the best piece
of road work in this country, and un-
der normal conditions would outlast
any stretch of road in this section.
However, there is a limit to all en-
durance, and the constant running off
and running back on the roadbed has

| long cracks in the brickwork Without

road would no doubt have &lasted a
! generation or more with little repair
work. Therefore, the most economical
method to be used in putting this par
ticular road in its normal condition

ing about the damage, and the most
simple way to accomplish this is the

And what is true of the Winter Park
road is relatively true of other roads.

ty. The people will have an oppor
tunity next Tuesday to express their
views on a bond issue, which will be
floated for the purpose of caring for
these improvements, as well as con-

WhiskeY As Medic


Wayne 3. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon league calls at
tention to what he designates as "the
remarkable decrease in the number
of physicians who prescribe whiskey.'
1t appears from his figures that there
are 1872, 1927 physicians in the United
States, and only 33,379 of them hold
medical whiskey permits. This means
that only % per cent of the doctors
have cared enough about the matter
to obtain legal authority to prescribe
whiskey for medicinal purposes. Many
Of them, Mr. Wheeler says, rarely
prescribe the whislley except when the
patient insists on it.
There is no doubt as to the decreas-
ing esteem in which alcohol is held
by the medicinal profession. For most
of the curative or stimulative pur-
poses for which it used to be general
ly administered II is now recognized
by most physicians that there are bet
ter substitutes. The national asso-
citation of druggists a couple of years
ago invited public attention to this
fact when they decided to omit whis-
key from their pharmacopeia. Even

CLANCY, of Baltimore, won the de-

world bantamweight champion. here

The fight was so slow and the loaf

left in disgust before the mill was
half over.
CLANCY apparently was the better
man, at least as far as trying to sat-

peared to be anxious at times, to
fight but throughout the entire ten
rounds Williams simply stalled, falling
into one clinch after another.
