Sauer ,one of the members of the board, was chosen to to Indianapolis on July 18 to represent this county and see if the tssccsraent can be kept where it now ia. There is a determined effort 6n the part of the-State Tax Board to raise valuations all alonsr the line and Marshall county will be lucky if her assessment as made by the county board is left untouched. It was stated that some weeks ago the assessors of tbp state were cal!ed to Indianapolis and urged to put the lands in at full value. Many of them agreed to di this, but some, it is said, refused. The cause of thU action on their part i said to.be tht the tax rate on the former valuation will not nearly rai enough money to pay the state expenses ts the rrrvernmnt is now beinsr run. and it "was therefore absolutelv necessary to raise the valuation to bring in more money. Some radical action on the part of the State Board may bo expected, and bow Marshall countv will fare is f!oibtfnl. The county board think thpy have made a fair valuation over tne "roxmtv and have made it so that it v:i! be difacult for the State Hoard to find an excuse to raise it. It sf;W3 a raise already and to make

The postoffiee department seems to be about as" open to reason on this point as an amiable mollusk Contimiiug the Tribune says: Unfort urately there are other coat burdened workers who are beyond the power of eongrers The officials of street railway Ymes cannot have common r nse legislated on them.

Give him a call. Phone 870. w 13-27 The ready response of the public to appeal for better health conditions is a most surprising and gratifying result of the rapidly altering state of public opinion on health matters. The people are ready for any reforms. Recent examples of this fact will readily occur to those who have been watching public health progress. One of these is tle recent remarkable crystallisation of public opinion on the common drink-ing-cup; "another is the equally rapid progress of the campaign against insect carriers of. disease and especially of flies. These pests have been causing annoyance and disgust to all cleanly-minded people, as well as distributing diseases, for centuries. If anyone ' had predicted ten years ago that great American newspapers and civic organizations " would Inaugurate a definite campaign against flies, 'he would have been regarded as hopelessly Tisionaryv Tel the American Civic Association . has established a ' ' Fly-Fighting ' Committee V has re printed an article ;n,"The -House-Fly as aj Carrier '-of1 Disease" f torn the Annals of the ' American Academy of Political and ßoeial Science, has distributed instructions on how to Conducton anti-fly campaign, and has sent out a special bulletin -entitled "Kill Flies and Save Lives." It is surely a promising indication when so learned a body as the American Academy of, Political and Social Science considers an article on the honse-fly worthy of a place in its periodical. ! Accompanying the literature sent out by the Fly-Fightiajr Committer of the American Civic Association is a request that all persons sroing to summer resorts write the proprietors of summer resort hotels, makjnsr definite inquiries as to health conditions at these places: The danger of summer resorts as centers of infection is well recognized. Many a local commissioner of health has earnestly and successfully striven to eradicate typhoid fever in his city only to find eich fall an outbreak of disease following the return of summer reporters, vyho had becoma infected during

Pive Hundred Club Are Entertained by Mesdames Firestone ' and Bowell Vey Pleasant Outing. j The members of the Five Hundred club had a very pleasant outing at Prettv Lake Thursday afternoon and evening. The ladies were entertained at the Howard cottage by Mesdames C. Firestone and J. B. Boweil, and the afternoon was spent at cards and the joys of -conversation. The husbands of the members came out at six o'clock and a sump tuous meal was served to all. After dinner the company amused them selves at bathing, boating and some of the old time sports of their youth, such as drop the handkerchief, mill er, etc. flies or other mean3 by which ty phoid is distributed. The committee asks all those contemplating a trip to summer resorts to write a letter similr to the following to all summer resort proprietors. "Before making plans for the summer vacation 1 wish to be assured that the sanitary conditions of the resort which I select are such as to make my stay permanently beneficial as well as pleasant for the time being. Will you, therefore, kindly advise me what t are your sources of water-supply and your methods of ewage and garbage disposal T I prefer, to spend my vacation where I need have no fear of malaria from mosquitoes, or typhoid fever from flies and polluted watersupply. ' Is . your drinking-water protected from contaminationn by your own ; sewage or that . of others, and are j-our guests protected from flie3 and mosquitoes, not only by screens for doors and windows, but by precautions taken' to prevent the breeding of these insect pests in your neighborhood T You are ' doubtless ' well informed as to the dang r -of health arising from neglect of the sanitary precautions on which physicians are now laying stress; nevertheless, I take the liberty of sending you some recent literature on the subject which may give you suggestions for the further improvement of local conditions; for I believe you will agree with me that whatever raises the reputation of a resort for healthfulness. raises the revenues of its proprietor. - r More and more is the campaign for better health conditions becoming one of economics rather than of sentiment. As soon os hotel and boarding-house keepers are convinced that cleanliness is profitable and that filth will diminish their receipts and increase their expenses, perfect sanitary conditions in summer resorts will become as much a.. business asset as are pine woods, " "beautiful lakes, cool breezes and low temper

Get Good

Product The state of Indiana is making strenuous efforts just now to enforce the pure food law as it affects bad eggs. Don-t have bad eggs in your possession, say the inspectors. You are liable to be caught with goods on, in which case you would be jruilty of a violation of the law and be subject to a fine of $10 to $100. State Inspector John T. Wi lett of South Bend was in Plymouth yesterday afternoon and investigated t':e stores, bakeries, confectioneries, etc.. to pee whether thty are rerulatinj their business according to law ot not. He states that he founl tlie places in quite a rood condition. IT was not here for the purpose of starting any prosecutions, but of advising the srrocers especially how f avoid the taking of bad eiru?. Mr. Willett candled the ctjs at several of the stores, but only fou-d a few that were bad. He says it will be necessary for the merchants who buy eggs to put in a mnchine or contrivance to candle them. None of the grocers here now candle their eggs. By candling them the grocer can save himself the loss of all the bad eggs which he now has to dump in the city garbage pile. The grocers should buv their ergs with the understanding that all bad ones shall not be paid for. The only ay to do this is to candle them. Farmer Liahls Too. The farmer is liable too, said Mr. 'Villett, if he brings bad eggs to the grocer. He should learn to candle his own eggs before he brings them to town. Then he will know that his eggs are all light. He will ao know how much he is going to set for them, and he will also convince the grocer that his eggs are always good. He will gradually raise the value of his prodducti as well as being assured that he is not liable to a fine for trying to sell bad egzs. If I should happen into a store, ;aid Mr. Willett. when a farmer brings in eggs, I would have the right as an officer of the state to candle all his eggs, and if any of them w.:e bad I could have him arrested and fined for violation of the law. We want the farmers to help in this crusade for better eggs. Will Raise Standard. I was recently in a western state, said Mr. Willett, and found that they were so far ahead of us in requiring pnre foods that I vas ashamed of my state in that respect. The .most important part of this for them too, was that the products of that state had become celebrated afar and they were able to sell mre of them for that reason and at better prices. This is the important thing we want Indiana te see. That if they let the.werld know that they de not market any products that are bad. the world will want Indiana products and want them at stiffer nrices than they are now paying. Both farmer and merchant are interested in this thing and we are trying to get both of them aronsed to know what pood they can do for themselves. Esres are the particular thing we are after just now, and when this matter is settled, we will have gain ed a hi sten of progress. Mr. Willett is inspector fer 18 connty im the northern part of the state. TJ. TJ. Quarterly Heet'.nz. The fourth quarterly meeting: of the TJ. B. church will take place Monday evening, July 24, Rev.
