There is no question but what Gov- ernor Baldwin touched upon import- ant matters in his address before the tax officials of the state when he de- cixred ithat many taxpayers commit perjury and sell their cousciences, and that a heavier state tax must be laid 11 1915 than in 1913 if the state would keep fty credit good. It is nowe too early to begin to reai- fse that one of the biggest problems bafore the state of Connecticut today is to kéep down its debt. For the 1 féw years it has been piling up with littls or no effort to resirain or over- comse it. State taxes have been col- lested following the wiping out of the sumplus and little progress is being tidde In any emdeavor to return to the desirable financial conditions of former daws. Rather is an increase in the state tax indicated. The problem of providing revenme sufficient to meet the expenses, or of keeping ihe state expenditures within the known income of {Ke state is one which the state should not dodge, but it has been &odged about as effectively in recent years as hawve the taxes. ‘What is needed is to get such putl affairs upon a business basis of eq ity and fafrmess to each and e one. It is undoubtedly true that many taxpayers fai! to realize their respon- sfbility and dodge their taxes. Many do it because others do, and because they feel justified in taking such equ ic al- ory Igation of their tax assessments i their own hands. Dodging axes though wrong has long ered legitimate by man; practices which get from the manner in wh iness conducted FORCING AUTO LEGISLATION.

Sanitation has a wonderful effect in overcoming conditions which are chargeabie to nature or man. FORESTRY AS A BUSINESS, A visitor in the south has been crit- fcising those states for the lack of in- terest in forestation, not only for the return which will come in time from the matured trees, but the constantly increasing value which is being given to property where scientific forestry is being carried out. ‘While the south has great oppor- tunity for engaging in this branch of agriculture it is a business which is by no means confined to any one sec- tion of the country. There are as fine opportunities for carrying it on right here in Connecticut as in the southern states, and it requires no greater knowledge or enthusiasm than would be required to make it a success any- where. Great inroads have been made into the wooded sections of this state to meet the demands of the pole and market. The denuded hills and reveal the path of the sawmill bly those cutover woodlands are being left to the action of nature for a ture supply of timber. This mean ow, uncertain and irregular resu The vaiue of such land remains stationary instead of showing definite res each year.

However 1 was so tired of } his obtuseness that I basely deter- mined to let him see just how incap- ] he was. “It's weeks since T have seen you,” remarked Mrs. Lee when they met at their club. “Helen, where in the world have you been keeping yourself?’ “In the kitchen ly,” sighed Mrs. Harvey. “My excellent Hilda went home for a month and I couldn't find any one to take her place. In conse- quence I became intimately acquainted with my cook stove and dish sink dur- ing her absence.” “Yes; I met Mr. Harvey downtown not long ago, ‘and he told me about Hilda's being away, but he said that his sister was with you and you were getting on famousily.” “Tom doesn’t know anything about how I got on. If he weren't such a perfect old dear I'd be indignant at his blindness to household matters. He doesn’t recogn! a domestic trag- edy when it stares him right in the face. Just let me tell you about him. “When Hilda broke the news that she had to go home to see her sick mother I told Tom that I didn’t see what in the world I'd do. ““Do ' sald Tom. ‘Why, it will be altogether jolly. Wetll have a repeti- tion of those good old times we had before we began to keep a maid. Don’t | you remember what fun we used toi have baking griddle cakes for each | other? We'll have buckwheats every morning and some more buckwheats | and flapjacks in superfluity every | night, just as we used to. Tell Hilda | she may remain away untli summer | if she wishes.’ ““Tom Harvey,’ 1 exploded, ‘do you | think that such enormous quantities | of buckwheat cakes and flapjacks are | a wholesome diet for our four children, or have you perchance forgotten their existence? } enough, we have a lot of kiddies now, and I suppose that they oughtn't to eat too many griddle cakes, | though they always agreed with me, said Tom. ‘However, I never feit bet- ter in my life than that first year when we kept house and couldn’t af- ford to have meat more than three times a week and desert only on Sun- dayvs, when we rioutously indulged in two cream puffs from the bakery. Say, while Hilda's gone, let’s have a lot of cream puffs.’ “*Tom, you old silly I cried ‘Do vou fancy cream puffs are more health- ful for the youngsters than an excess of griddle cakes.” “Tom looked troubled. ‘We must nk of something.’ he said, and he did think of something. Without con- sulting me he sent for his sister, Flos- sie. Now, vou'll have first aid to the short handed,’ he said, triumphantly, when he showed me her telegram sa ing that she was on the way. I in- wardly groaned, for of all the people in the world Flossie is the last one I should have selected as assistant cook and mother's helper. She is a dear girl, but she doesn’t possess an in- finitesimal suspicion of what house- keeping means. “You can imagine how much help One day she let the children reir faces, their clothes and the furniture with her oil paints which she had given them to keep them quiet while she read, for she had offered to look after them if I would press a skirt she had worn out in the rain.

We are not always responsible for our bodily ailments we have to think about them sometimes and do all that we can to remove them. But they are never a thing to be proud of. It is more natural to be proud of physical health than of its opposite; the pos- { session of health does often prove that we have used common sense in our lives, that we live wisely and temper- ately. But these are matters of which we should seldom speak; a few words at most would suffice to dispose of them. It is vulgar always to talk of the personal, the physical, the individual: Wwe are not to assume that our com- panions are deeply interested in such details. There are ma better sub- Jects for conversation. Yet some people treat us as though our deepest interest were just this question of physical condition. They will detain us for heours with wonders not to be found in any medical book, sensations and imaginings that physician could diagnose they luxu ate in the theme, the words flow from them with positive unction, they feei a proud delight in the unique nature of their bodily experiences. Instead of winning our pity such persons gradually win our scorn. Un- less we pity this very characteristic as a symptom of mental disease we en- courage them to their own undoing by listening. Our amenity is their curse. There are nearly a thousand electric ranges in use in the city of Winni- peg. How Thin People Can Put On Flesh A New Discovery.
