this copy as it gives me great deal
of information that l have been look
ing for.
I'VE have such an organization as
you speak of, trying to become little
more familiar on the tax problem in
Minnesota and feel it is one of the
most important problems at this time.
II learned from my partner, DR..
Stratte, that you are elected as
member of the state legislature and
do congratulate the people of your
county on having elected a man who
is so we'll posted on this important
issue to represent them as legisla-
tor. l believe l may assure you that
you will have the loyal support Of the
men from our part of the state"
Must Have Tax Relief.
Representative Dewey w. Johnson
from the thirty-first legislative dis
trict, Minneapolis. says in his letter
of Dec. 20, addressed to the Askov
have tax relief. The letter follows:
Received your issue of December
18th and have read Hon. Hjalmar
Petersen'S views on greviOuS sub
ject: viz, that of the failing ad valor-
EN- tax. l certainly appreciate the
privilege of associating with your leg
islator for in his treatment of the
subject of taxation he shows that he
has the subject we'll in hand. And
here is one city member that is posi-
tive that the landowner (be he city
or ruraD must soon have tax relief
or he will perforce kick up his toes. -
Drastic Legislation Necessary.
Editor H. z. Mitchell of The Bemidji
Daily Pioneer. brings out several
points on taxes and other remedial
legislation in his letter of Dec. %,
which follows:
Dear Brother Petersen: l very
much appreciate your sending me a
copy Of your paper of December 18th.
1t not only gave me an opportunity
to look over your excellent publfca-
ton about which l hear so much but
also to digest a portion at least Of
your articles on taxation, subject
which l am deeply interested in.
| Il agree with you most heartily
that there is some drastic legislation
necessary to equalize at least the un-
fair tax burden that is now being
borne by real estate. | am also ready
to agree with you that in theory the
income tax offers by far the most
logical solution but l do believe that
it is hardly wise to issue blanket
endorsement of income tax legisla-
ton until We are more positive as to
the exact nature of the legislation
that will be proposed. The income
tax despite its advantages has not
worked out successfully in all the
states in which it is being tried. II
offers an excuse for the tax spender
to get in his work and it is always easy
to find new places where more money
could be spent. l think. personally
that the legislature should exert every
effort to insure wiser expenditure
of the tax dollar and a more equit-
able assessment
Il am heartily in favor of a county
assessor; l believe that some benefits
might be derived by a consolidation
OF school districts and even town.
ships, perhaps counties; l think that
some relief might be brought about
by a revision of the state rules under

DEATH AND LIFE
By Bishop William CrosaUeU DOane

By Bishop WaNiam CrosaveU Doane
cNDE ARE so stupid about death We will not learn
IS5X8S How it is wages paid to those who earn,
Ia9@EY How it is gift for which earth we yearn,
To be set free from bondage to the flesh;
How it is turning seedcorn into grain,
How it is winning Heavens eternal gain,
How it means freedom from pain,
How it untangles every mortal mesh
We selfish about death. We count grief
Far than consider their relief,
Whom the great Reaper gathers in the sheaf
No to know the seasons constant change;
And forget that it only life
Life with all joy, peace, rest and glory rife,
The victory won and ended all the strife
And Heaven longer far away and strange
Their Lent is and their Easter
Waiting till Paradise the
Shall rise in majesty and life begun
Shall glow in glory, the perfect day
Moves on to hold its endless deathless way.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE


book in America, now that DR.. Hutchi-
son has suggested it.
We have here the most amazing list
of alleged health books imaginable, and
most of them pick on the kids. No baby
doctor can hope to achieve any distinc-
ton in America until he has published
at least one popular book about the
care or feeding of kids.
DR.. Hutchinson, I am pleased to re-
port, threw q large bucket of cold water
on the so-called infant welfare stations
run by public health departments
Aside from the fact that certain peo-
pie find these infant welfare stations
or well baby clinics, as they are some
times called, a fine scheme whereby
they manage to get free Of cost certain
medical services for which they could
and should pay. agree with DR..
Hutchinson that there is nothing to
show that such practice of medicine
Is justified. Taxpayers with the real
welfare Of the community at heart may
well protest against supporting such ex-
periments.
Finally, blend my somewhat shrill
tenor voice with DR.. Hutchison's fine
baritone as he utterS this counsel:
do not worry too much about the
health Of your children. Give them
happy homes, with the companionship
Of other children and plenty of simple
food; do not take too much notice Of
them, send them early to bed and leave
the rest to chance"

It seems some folks are up in arms
or pens, or whatever folks use when
they are aroused and want us to know
about it. All because the women of
this country spent $410,000,000 on cos
metics last year. (And we think the
results justified IT'D That was three
quarters as much as they spent on
doctors fees.
Does that show women are becoming
not only more beautiful, but healthier
as well, or does it show that they are
neglecting their health in the cause of
facials and the latest and spifiest
odors?
1t seems to us that a doctors bill Of
over $3.50. 100000 for the Nation Is q
figures, the average American family
spends $50 a year for medical care.
It spends S436 a year on luxliries,
under which are listed npsticks, rouge.
face powder, perfume and the like.
The figures were compiled by the Acad-
envy of Medicine. While a physician
may view cosmetics as Injuries, he
doesn't share the viewpoints Of many
women. To them cosmetics are neces-
saries. They aid them in keeping their
beauty and their husbands. There Is
no denying, of course, that keeping
once husband may be classified as q
luxury, but that's going too far fol-
this department.
Health is largely a matter Of the
way we feel, and most women feel good
when they know they look well. II
they don't have to worry about being
attractive to their husbands or eligible
young men, they are in happier frame
Of mind. No physician would deny that
mental condition directly affects health
II this Is sophistry, make the most Of
IL. We believe in health and beauty

And he took cigar out of his vest

but with charitable feelings and frend-
ly impulses, view my fellow creatures
with filosophical liberation and for

happened, being me axSidently hooking

There is no doubt. said DR.. Hutchi-
son. the English child specialist, at the
Winnipeg meeting Of the British Medi-
cal Association, that parental over
anxiety about health Is increasing. The
rearing of an infant today seems to call
for the combined knowledge of a chem
ist, psychologist and public officer
of health.
That's good. I couldn't put it better
myself, unless might add a trained
nurse to the staff. Formerly a mathe-
matician was essential for computing
the percentages Of protein. fat and car
bohydrate and the calories, but since
vitaminS come into general use we
have practically given up logarithms in
infant feeding.
Then Dr. Hutchinson raised his voice
bit to cover the grinding of teeth
and the noisy nasal breathing in many
parts of the hall, and went on: las
so many parents nowadays have all
their eggs in one basket, or perhaps
two baskets, they naturally tend to fuss
over the basket to morbid extent"
The doctor went on to relieve his
chest of some pithy remarks about the
amateur mother who gets a book on
child psychology, and experiments on
the tender mind Of her infant. There
Is even book on exercises for infants
of months, he declared. have

burning eyes to lend reality.
There should be q tub of water with
apples to be bodied for or apples on
strings, the winner achieving a solid
bite that spears the apple. Stairs may
be walked down backward with a mir
ror held over the left shoulder, for
supposedly at the bottom there will be
the face OF q phantom sweetheart.
Then there is that excruciating
stunt In which the blindfolded victim
Is put on a board, and the board
raised slowly about an inch or more at
one end. The sensation of going up to
enormous heights Is so keen that when
told to jump, the poor victim takes q
huge Jump, much to the delight of his
audience.
Fortune telling by some adult with
a sense Of hunlor and a knowledge of
each child will convulse the listeners,
and there are fortune telling cards
which may be used in a dimly lighted,
curtained-off space to improve the
imagination of an adult not accustomed
to such stunts.
If the group is small one, all the
games should be played together: II it
is o large one, 1t is better to put four
or six persons at table and play the
different games progressively. At one
table they may be engaged in putting
together q huge black paper cat that
has been cut apart and scrambled. At

another, fortune telling may be In
progress, and at still another the apple
bobbing Is going on. As each game Is
finished or successfully accomplished
1t may be passed on to the next table.
A favor may be given to the winners
at each table, though IL is always nicer
to give small favors to each person
then to tag some superior person with
prize. Children suffer more from a
sense Of inferiority at being unable 10
win than adults imagine
Refreshments are the old favorites,
apples, doughnuts and cider, or indi-
vidual pumpkin pies, cider and pop
corn. 1t is well to keep up the spirit
OF such holidays and enjoy their In
dividual flavor before the children's
appetite for simple pleasures are
blunted by too much sophisticated
aping Of adult entertainments.

Halloween.

4x0l1UWGCAs
Halloween parties and Halloween
pranks may easily be bracketed to-
gether. so that fear of the latter Is
dispelled by the former. There was
never a day like Halloween so sur
rounded by classic customs as to make
its entertainment literally foolproof. A
children's party given on that day can
hardly be anything but entertaining and
successful.
This is just the kind Of opportunity
mothers should embrace to entertain
their older children. With most of the
entertainments these days decidedly
outside the home, mothers should grasp
at chances to gather their childrens
friends under their own roofs and show
them what good times are possible with
tactful and sympathetic parental super
vision.
The house may be gay with Autumn
colorings; black cats are festive and
spooky, as are jack O. lanterns made
of paper pumpkins and real pumpkins
with grinning faces and cavernous,
