Getting Ready to Replace Men.
The September Woman's Home
1 Companion says:
"Women are preparing to take
the places of men in almost ev
ery line of work. A New York
corporation, whose clerical force
had been depleted by the call to
arms, advertised for fifty intel
ligent woman capable of earning
twelve dollars a week. Ten
thousand letters were rpceived
from as many women. The ages
ranged from high school girls to
grandmothers. The best papers
in the test were turned in by a
college graduate and grand
mother, respectively.
"In many of the larger cities
young women with steady nerves
and a taste for mechanics are
bing tested as elevator opera

Cardui, the woman's
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: "I had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. 1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
. . . and the pains were
very severe. A friend
to i me I had tried every
th lg else, why not
Cardui?... I did, and
soon saw it was helping
me . . . After 12 bottles,
I am strong and well."
TAKE
The Woman's Tonic
Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered it
should help you back to
health.
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

How to Store Vegetables.
In an article on gardening in
the September Woman's Home
Companion, a writer says:
"The ideal storage place for
vegetables that grow under the
ground is an underground room,
without heat, that will not freeze
otherwise a cold cellar. The
temperature must be between 33
and 38 degrees Fahrenheit; that
is, from just above freezing to
what is technically known as
'cold;' and if it can be maintain
ed at one point evenly, so much
the better. All the root crops
except salsify and parsnips, and
Irish potatoes, stored in boxes
into which they have been pack
ed in alternate layers with dry
earth or sand, in such a cellar,
will come out next spring as
fresh as the day they went in.
"Salsify and parsnips require
freezingto bring to proper flavor;
and so it is better to leave these
two vegetables in the ground,
digging direct from the garden
as weather permits. If the se
verity of the winter makes such
opportunities too rare, leave
them out until they have frozen
up once, then dig a part of the
crop and store in sand, as direct
ed above. The balance will be
all right for early spring use di
rect from the garden."
How to Keep your Friends.
An editorial in the September
Woman's Home Companion says:
"It is almost impossible to be
genuinely friendly with a person
who insists on being to close to
you, on knowing all your
thoughts, feelings and affairs,
and on claiming your time and
attention on the excuse of affec
tion alone.
"The bonds of true friendship
must be easy and its demands
must be for something real and
vital. The woman who calls on
nt InSB
?1 Bra
MB&jSiSiSHW
you perpetually because she has
taken a sudden fancy td you is a
blind and selfish egotist, in a
mild way. Her calls may inter
rupt your work and bore you in
tensely, but if you are a polite
and courteous person you bear
with her until she directs her at
tention elsewhere. She will
probably tell the new friend that
you are 'very unresponsive.'
Some women clutch at every new
acquaintance and then complain
that they have so few friends.
The reason is that friendship is
not built on trivialities and
whims, but by giving such val
uable things as true consider
ation, real interest, and man
ifesting a decent reserve as to
the other person's confidences
and nonconfidings.
HE NEW KENTUCKY
---TAX LAWS---
There will be many changes in the
Kentucky Tax Laws, which go into
effect September 1st, and taxpayers
should be deeply interested.
Farmers will be benefited by the
lower State tax rate on Lands and
Improvements from 55 to 40 cents
on each $100 valuation and on Live
Stock' from 55 to 10 cents for State
purposes. Bonds, Stocks, Mortgages
and Accounts will be exempt from lo
cal taxation; as will also Agricultural
frnpiemehts; and Products grown
within the year are exempt from all
taxation. Money deposited in Bank
will be taxed at- only 10 cents on
the $lt)0, instead of 55 as heretofore.
This will result In a large saving to
taxpayers, who have been listing their
property at a fair valuation.
Merchants will have only State
taxes to pay on their Notes and Ac
counts at the rate of 40 cents on
each $100 and 10 cents on Bank De
posits. Other property, such as Real
Estate, Merchandise, etc., is subject
to State tax rate of only 40 instead
of 65 cents.
Manufacturers are exempted from
local taxes on their Machinery, Raw
Material and Product, Notes and Ac
counts and will be taxed for State
purposes only on such property at 40
cents on the $100 and 10 cents on
Bank Deposits On all other prop
erty the State tax is only 40 cents
on each $100 and the local taxes as
fixed in the localities where their
business is conducted.
Bonds, Stocks, Mortgages, Notes
and Accounts are taxable for State
purposes only at 40 cents on the
$100 and exempt from local taxation.
The State tax on Real Estate,
Household Goods, Merchandise, Vehi
cles and other property owned by
Individuals has been reduced from
65 to 40 cents; a reduction of 37
per cent.
Additional Revenue to Justify the
reduction and increase the State rev
enue is to come from Bonds, Stocks,
Notes and Accounts; Mineral and
Timber Rights and Royalties and by
equalization of notoriously under
valued assessments, and as each class
of property, no matter by whom
owned, will be assessed and taxed
uniformly, the advantage to taxpayers
generally and the State at large win
be very great.
The State needs more revenue to
meet the present deficit, and the Idea
is to get more property to tax rather
than to Impose more taxes on prop
erty now paying more than Its share,
and under the new and more equitable
laws this can be accomplished.
The State Tax Commission is go
ing about the work in the right way
to subject every kind of property to
Its fair share of taxation and correct
the "evils heretofore existing whereby
many property owners paid more than
their Just due and others escaped
entirely. The Commission la endowed
with power to enforce the laws and
bring the delinquents to a sense of
their responsibility and obligation to
the State, and every Taxpayer, As
sessor and Supervisor should aid in
securing for the State the successful
operation of the new laws, which are
fair and Just to all.
Where accurate returns are made
ajs of September 1st, the property
owners will be immune from paBt
omissions and delinquents may be
proceeded against for ten years back,
so there Is every inducement to com
ply with such Just and equable laws,
and as the principles Involved aro
worked out there will be further re
ductions in the tax rates, and In ,tlmo
the entire exemption of land for. State
purposes, as in other Stafes where
the same laws are in practice.
Plans have got well under way
to have all the Kentucky brigade
of National Guards parade in
Louisville before they go.to their
camp in Mississippi.
