REDUCING THE TAXES

If people are willing to get along
with poorer roads and schools and un-
satisfactory public service, they can
get their local taxes down. If the
same efficiency is manifested in pub
lie business that you expect in an up
to date corporation, probably most
cities could cut their expenses some
what.
Federal taxes, however, are even
more difficult to get down, because
they consist so largely of fixed
charges that must be met. More than
half of the current expenses are going
for interest on debt, payments on
principal, and care of disabled soldiers
The United States wants to take
care of its disabled veterans if it
takes our last dollar. Money must not
be saved on this item except as need
less waste and extravagant methods
can be cut out without detriment to
the soldiers.
The costs of the army and navy are
still heavy, but with the powers of
Europe still shaking their fists at
each other, it is no time for further
steps toward disarmament. If in a
few years Europe should settle down
and act like Christians and sensible
business men, perhaps our costs for
preparedness might be reduced. For
the present about the orly hope for
considerable savings lies in making
such payments on the public debt that
interest charges will gradually fall
off. Europe may pay little of her
debt to US, but people who expect that
in the near future must be confirmed
optimists.
These are times when small econo-
mics must be considered by the
government, and if we can not slash
the budget by hundreds of millions as
we would like to, we must cut it what
we. can. The records of congressman
on the question of public economy
should be closely studied during the
coming campaign. Men with business
training are needed, and candidates
should be chosen who expect to please
the people by economy ana efficiency
rather than by distribution of pork.

WHATS THE REASON?
Many Monett People in Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suffer-
ing. Day after day they are racked
with backache and headache; suffer
from nervousness, dizziness, wear
mess, languor and depression. Per
haps the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of filtering the blood and
that may be the root of the trouble
Look to your kidneys, assist them In
their work-give them the help they
need. You can use no more highly
recommended remedy than Doan's
Kidney Pills-endorsed by people all
over the country and by your neigh
bors in Monett. Ask your neighbor.
E. NJ. Whitney, prop. restaurant,
COL Third street Monert, says: Il have
had spells when my back would get
sore and lame and l could scarcely
move because of the sharp, cutting
pains which darted through me.
Whenever notice this trouble coming
on I always get Doan's Kidney Pills
at McKee's Drug Store and they soon
put stop to the trouble. A box or
so have always relieved the backache
and strengthened up my kidneys ia
good shape"
Price zoe, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Whitney had. Fister-Milburn Co.

DO YOU LET LIFE WORRY YOU?

Stop worrying about what is going
to happen tomorrow.
Most of the anxiety we experience
is caused by the contemplation of
things which never happen.
You may meet with some little ac-
cidents, you may break something
which will cost considerable to replace
or some of your children may damage
some part of your home.
But you should expect each day to
have some annoying things, annoying
if you let them fret you.
Life is an obstacle race all the way
through-intended as such--you know
you are bound to get your share
take it.
If you know that your days can not
be smooth sailing every day, why
worry so much about the tossing
about, for you can not be completely
upset unless you allow yourself to
capsize.
To smile through everything and
make the best of it is like pouring oil
on the troubled sea-you ride more
easily.
To allow things to irritate and
anger you is to lose control.
You can not be happy while you are
wrought up by the criss cross of life.
When things are beyond your power
to control, take them as matter of
course.-Houston Chronicle.
