MOnOn's Tax Rate
Cut May Be Start
of Movement.

A CITING on a request Of officials
~ n the Monon Railroad for a
50 pr cent slash in the valuation
OF property. the state board Of tax
commissioners last week approved a
reduction Of 30 per cent in unpaid
taxes Of -, carrier since 1882.
The railroad has agreed 70 pay
a. least 50 per cent Of its Noyem-
Dor. 1888. taxes. which are oelln-
quent. by Jan and the remainder
a month later. The company also
has agreed 70 remit all taxes due
in fq34 and the Instalment during
NAV 1885. by the end Of next year,
thereby leaving only the November,
1895. instalment unpaid by the
close u next year.
Under the terms Of the order. the
valuation % the railroads property
for 1882 will b. pared from S23O53.-
Q76 n sI3828.7 59. for 1888 from
sfa35I .7ss 20 Sl1.6IIO72. and for

II AILROADS Of the country for
N the last few years have been
complaining Of the large tax burden
they have 70 shoulder. That their
teremiads have not been without
some justification is indicated from
the fact that Of last years gross
operating revenues OF S3,095. 448.808.
local state and national tax collec-
tors appropriated s249 602895. on
this basis approximately 3 cents OF
every dollar taken in BY the rail-
roads was paid in taxes.
The MonOn at present is operat-
ing under the jurisdiction OF the
court under the federal bankruptcy
act. In appealing for a decrease
in valuation the road alleged that
a slump in both passenger and
freight business had made It i'm
possible for il 10 meet its Obliga-
lions. The tax board in granting
the reduction voiced the belief that
II Is in the interest of all taxpayers
IN the counties interested that such
reassesSment be made without any
unnecessary delay.
AS a result Of the MOnons good
fortune in having its tax rate re-
duced. the thought arises as to
whether other railroads in other
communities Of the country will in
stitute similar action In view Of
the fact that there are quite a few
other transportation systems in the
same financial condition as the
MonOn the possibility is not too re-
mote.
Appeals for reductions at this
time might prove TO Be particularly
inoppOrtune To some municipalities.
Quite few OF these local govern
ments are confronted this year
with increased OUTLAWS for poor re-
lief and unemployment. Conse-
ouently. If they should decide TO
reduce the tax burden Of railroads
the load undoubtedly would have
10 be increased somewhere else
along the line.

NNE of the strange things Mr.
" Canaday had to say was that
the difficulties the government was
encountering had to do chiefly with
getting people to look over their
houses with a view to remodeling
or making repairs and improve
ments rather than in finding the
money with which to do the jobs
after they had been decided upon.
Of the S100,000,O00 Of business now
under way, he estimated that about
s31000,000 will go to the lumber
people; SIS 900, 900 to the paint COM
panies; S11,500,O00 to the heating
equipment concerns; 100000 to the
plumbing contractors; S10,000,000 to
the roofing makers; $4,000, 900 for
cement and 100000 for electrical
equipment work.
AS he explained, however, the
workers who are paid for the con-
struction jobs will, in turn, spend
the money for automobiles, shoes,
food and many other products, SO
that in the end all will be benefited.

the Financial Advertisers ASSoc1a-
ton at a luncheon here recently
that he figured it would prove the
most effective step the government
has taken to lick the depression.
And he cited a number of impress
sive facts and figures to back up
his contention.
One Of the guests at the luncheon,
an out-of -toWner, said in an aside
that he was not at all surprised at
the success with which the program
is meeting. He maintained in all
seriousness that the pyramids in
Egypt had been built to stimulate
business and that Nero had burned
Rome for the same purpose. The
fiddling, he explained, was merely
an expression of confidence that the
rebuilding of the city would help
trade.
4 SIDE from Mr.. Canadays
IA speech, which was a very en-
couraging one, your correspondent
was impressed by the practical
methods used by the government
in putting over its program. Its
representative made q sales talk
that would have been hard to beat,
and the bank representatives pres
ent, of which there we're many,
were very much impressed with the
desirability of cooperating to the
fullest.
He made no appeal to these
bankers on the basis of charity.
He merely urged them to get on
the band wagon for their own good.
He had no doubt that the program
would be a success, with or without
their help. About LOO corpora
tons, he said, had offered to CO.
operate, many of them taking part
in a promotional way through adj
vertising and direct craftsmanship.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton, according to Mr.. Canaday,
originally had planned to spend
about s18,000,O0O during the coming
year on Improvements and better
ments, but now has set aside an
other S20,000,000 for that purpose.
The Ford Motor Company also
plans extensive expenditures on it's
plants, he said.
Although the housing program
has been under way only about six
weeks, the government representa-
tive said that about 500, 100000 of
new business has been created, and
in many communities there is al
ready a shortage of workers. He
predicted slight slowup this win
ter, but said that next spring would
find this work going ahead with
renewed energy.

FEDERAL CO-ORDINATOR OF
i RAILROADS EASTMAN came

FEDERAL CO-ORDINATOR OF
Il RAILROADS EASTMAN came
out Of his first pOweT-teSting tuSSle
with the railroads an ephemeral
victor. A three-iudge federal court
upheld his action in refusing 10 al
low the Louisville & Nashville TO
divert its Florida traffic from Chi
raco and eastern Illinois TO the Big
-Four.
The court. in uphOlding the &C
ton Of the federal cO-OrdinatOr, de-
CIared that the action should not
have been brought to his court.
The ruling added that the plaintiff
should have applied TO the inter-
state commerce commission before
asking the court for a review. Thus
II can be seen that the first move II
the controversy proved a dud.
Railroad officials involved IN the
skirmish at present are believed to
be weighing the possibilities OF
bringing the case before the inter-
state commerce commission or the
United States supreme court. The
battle is being watched with keen
interest in financial circles and the
outcome is awaited eagerly.

 Veronica was On duty days now. taking care of Mr Van Eciver. His day nurse. Elsie. Golf, had been called home by the illness of her thought. She had never had q pa. tient she liked 50 much as MT Van Eciver. Good-looking, rich, cohsid- crate, a perfect gentleman, she said to herself, if ever there was one.
 Just why that fancee of his, that blond. girl from Larchneck, didn't sing for joy because she'd been 50 lucky as to gnag him Veronica simply did not understand. She hefSeif got down every night on her knees and prayed to St Joseph to fnd her a good husband. She had a small metal image of the saint strung around her neck this very moment, an a thin silver chain. And all she'd ever got for it (up to date) was the attention of Will Schultz, who ran a garage in New Martin and wasn't half bad If you overlooked his grimy finger nails.

One of the least admirable traits of the human mind is suspicion.
 Not only does such mind uri- dermine itself and brew a poison that permeates the whole emotion al life, but 1t projects unhappiness into the lives of others. Oh, ye of little faith, what can you find In this attitude Of doubt that is either satisfying or thrilling? And yet most of us have the talent in Q greater or lesser degree.
 When 1t comes to suspecting 8 child, just because he is a child. we would discover Q number of things if we just stopped to think.
 First of all, nearly every child Is more honest and more frank than we suppose. If he is other wise something in his training has gone wrong. In such a case It is seldom his fault, but the fault of those who have put over fear and feeling of guilt into his life.
 Don't Harp on Wrongs
 Second, we are likely to put too much emphasis on one misdemean- or. If constantly referred to, a child wouldn't be human if a feel. ing of guilt far beyond his deserts did not develop. Once a child knows that he is continually sus- pected he loses faith in himself. Not only this but he figures in most cases that he may as well have the game as the name-and lives up to it.
 Then, too, it is the custom 10 judge all children as though they were grown-ups, a most unfair thing, to say the least
 We forget that during the period of growth the mind is growing too. It drives its young owner to ex- periments that at least amaze older people, an acknowledgements of our own ignorance. Will the world never learn that childhood's s so-called "misdemeanors" are sel. dom vicious?
 Most Dangerous Course
 The normal child, be what he may, should not have to endure the constant air of suspicion. One thing is certain. To live in such an atmosphere won't make him any better.
 We have all known some child who, removed to a new environ ment where he was trusted, re- sponded to that trust and became good citizen.
 There is no more dangerous course in the whole matter of child training than to fall into the habit of ebing suspicious of them. To anticipate what child might do is not exactly suspicion. We know the characteristics of our own children. But let us use such knowledge to advantage-not to lower his self respect.
 If we ourselves lived in a con- stant atmosphere of suspicion we would never be at our best.
 Those who know they are trust ed usually try to earn that con- f1dence.

CLIMATE AND CHRONIC
 RHINITIS.

A medical colleague says he wondered if had not let myself in for something when l conceded that climatic changes might ag- gravate chronic rhinitis. He says my teachings about spray infection have led him into personal diffi- cultiets with people who made the painful mistake of coughing in his face (when he was not paid for it) or coming into his home with a high power cold <. and some of these people are now saying with great glee See, Doc Brady himself admits" etc., etc.
 In the first place, have never conceded that cold, drafts, wet feet, dampness or insufficient cloth- ing might aggravate chronic rhini- tis. In the next place, if the poor idiots get any comfort out of that misunderstanding, let them enjoy 1t. The life of the victim of cryo- phobia must be pretty sad at best.
 do believe that wearing excess sive clothing, overheating dwellings shops, conveyances schools, church. es, theaters, and excluding drafts and dampness, are common factors of chronic rhinitis, chronic bron- chitis and related conditions. Or if you can think better in words of two syllables. I believe that bad habits just mentioned are the chief cause of cronic catarrh.
 My colleague wonders just what would happen to surgical patients if the operating room were kept cool. What effect would a draft have on patient under ether? While heat is necessary in the treatment and prevention of sur- gical shock, he has an idea suf- gical patient would do better If the operating-room were kept not warmer than 75 degrees F and the corridors and the patients room or ward were kept at the same mod crate temperature.
 What more effective way could we devise to dehydrate patient than by keeping the patient for an hour or more in a superheated operat- ing room, bathed in sweat, and then putting the patient into hot bed with hot water bottles or other artificial means of maintaining

 "Oh. that's all off-has been for weeks" Edward told, her. They hadn't been hitting it off so well when she left and she'd written him a lot of sour letters. Dinny said they'd about decided to call it a day. She's marrying some dusty old member of parliament or something. Lady Swizz-Bang." He chuckled.
 So all the time she had chaffed him about Kay he'd known this and hadn't told her. Why?
 Edward touched her face lightly with a well-manicured forefinger. Well miss the old kid, won't we? He's good guy"
 "Oh, terribly!" She tried to be casual but the effort did not come off as we'll as she'd planned.

 She stared at him frankly pug zled. "Why, Edward, what do you mean?"

I the excessive heat? What is the sense of encouraging loss of fluid | through the skin in that way and at the same time administering in- jections of salt solution under the skin or into the veins to restore the loss?
 Aside from that, what essential difference is Involved in cooling off an anesthetized patient and con- SciouS one?
 Two recent works on operative sugery, one by a German author. one by an American. Both emin- ent surgeons stress the idea of pro- testing the patient against pneu- monia by guarding against "drafty corridors and exposure"
 As I have remarked many times, a good skilful surgeon Is generally pretty poor physician, I mean he is not so skilled in general thera- peutics. If he is really good in his line of surgery he can we'll afford to defer to better men when Q question of general therapeutics comes up. But these days the sur geons are grabbing all they can get and if they can pose as all-wise before the admiring public, why, that's great for prestige, and pres tige is great for business.
 My colleague says he quails at the thought of suggesting to one of these thick-lenses that he doesn't know what he's talking about. All right. Turn the blighter over to me and xll tell him. The notion that a patient will get pneumonia from draft or exposure or from not having the room overloaded, is comical, and no one but a sur geon would have the face to spring it today in a book.

GLORIFYING

These brisk autumn days beautiful though they are and certainly excellent for the spirits, can play havoc with a compiexion that has a tendency toward dry-s ness. If your skin comes in this category, tell yourself again that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, get a jar of tis- sue cream and plan to do a night ly beauty routine that will elim<f mate the dry conditions and pre- vent football weather from mak- ing your skin leathery and unat- tractive.
 Choose a tissue or nourishing. cream that is rich and of rather heavy consistency. One new kinds made by 8 cosmetician who spe- cializes in the treatment of dry skins, smells luscious and really goes a long way toward keeping the skin soft and supple and pre-, venting lines and wrinkles.
 It is to be used after you've cleaned your face and throat, of course. Wash with soap and wa ter and clean with cleansing cream before applying the richer cream.
 Smooth the tissue cream from the base of the troat upward to the hairline. Then, using a batter or your fingertips. pat it into your skin. Don't pat too hard, but don't stop until the cream has melted. Remember to pat upward and out ward on the throat, chin. cheeks and forehead--only outward from the nose to the ears.
 When you have finished. wipe off the excess. leaving a little around your eyes and go to bed. If you can't bear to sleep with cream on your skin, wipe or every trace and pat with cotton pads tonic

 Her heart went pit-a-pat when he looked down at her like that.

 She handed him the menu. New Martin Hospital was proud of it's methods. As up to date--more so ---it was proud of saying, than any of the city institutions.
