THE REFEREE

(By Albert Applet

Murder
England last year had So murders
and arrested Sc persons, charged
with murder. Hard for an American
to believe.
one American in $4,000 leaves
this life at the hands of a murderer.
In England the figure is only in
$4,000.
In America anyone can buy a re-
volyer. In England a pistol can be
bought only by presenting a police
permit-and such permits are not
issued to private parties. Since the
majority of murders are committed
by firearms, it's perfectly obvious
why, in proportion to population, we
have SO times as many murders as
England.
Clew
1t in impossible for a criminal to
commit a crime without leaving a
clew, says Sir Basil Thompson, for
nler head detective Of Scotland Yard.
He adds that, whether the clew Is
detected or not depends on how nard
the police work on the case, also
their ability and luck. The same
applies to ucces in anything else,
1t depends on hard work. natural
and acquired ability and luck

make up for partial lack of ability
and luck.
Success IL not a creation of a day.
1t Ia built slowly, like a coral reef.
1 And, Just as every criminal leaves a
clew, so does our every act leave n
permanent effect, good or bad, on
our careers.
Loafing

He retires. This Is in Attleboro,

monotonous that they began hunt
ing jobs.
want to quit work for good, merely
need a short vacation. Our bodies
are machines for storing and utiliz-
ing energy. A machine rusts out
faster than 1t wears out.
Foolish
A small brass cannon, captured Dy
the British army at the battle OF
Bunker Hill, is seen by o tour"
lists in the Citadel at Quebec. The
Canadians are proud of this trophy,
though the tourists from u SIDE

tickle the vanity, but they help per-
petuate rivalries that are childish
and dangerous among civilized peo-
pie.
The largest tree in the world is
discovered near Waihou, New yea
land. Scientists are debating
whether it is 5000 years old or only
1000. All agree it will live another
1000 years unless some greedy de-
stroyer cuts it down. That probably
will be its fate, since 1t contains

DELAY IN FILING TAX DUPLICATES

Eight municipalities in Middlesex county have failed to live
10 to the law that requires that all tax duplicates be filed with the
county tax board by a certain fixed date. The county authorities
ave generously granted an extension of time. Whether the coun-
4 board has the right to do this is a question, but as long as there
no one to object it is done.
But there should be no such scandal as occurred last year
ZEN tax returns from at least one district were filed so late that
J time limit for taxpayers to make appeals had expired before
NJ tax bills were received. If one municipality can file its dupli-
q 5es on time all can do so. Repeated failure to obey the law in
! respect fully warrants the dismissal of the delinquent assess
and the appointment of a new board. y
Taxpayers must be given an opportunity to have their as
aeuts adjusted where they feel that they have a grievance.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen. of Rochester, n. Y.
suffered for years with rheumatism. Many
times this terrible disease left him help
less and unable to work.
He finally decided. after years Of cease
less study. that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impure
ties, commonly calei~ uric acid deposits,
We're dissolved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted Ply
sicians. made experiments and finally COM
pounded a prescription that quickly and
completely banishcd every sign and symp-
tom of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which he
called Allenrhu. to others who took it,
with what might be called marvellous sue
cess. After years OF urging lie decided to
let sufferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapcr lie has
therefore instructed druggists everywhere
to dispense Allenrhu with the understand
ing that il the first pint bottle does not
show the way to complete recovery he will
gladly return your money without COM
ment. Fletchcr's Pharmacy, Augusta, and
Jackson's Drug Store. Gardiner can sup
