I>s The Bachelor Tax
S Sy Walter C. Michel
HAT, I wonder, do the lawmakers of Wisconsin, lowa, Texas
and other states, expect to accomplish by their bachelor
tax? If they think that they will benefit'anybody by tell
ing a man that he must either marry or pay a tax, I think
that they are badly mistaken.
In the first place, why are there bachelors? Do they
exist just for the fun of the thing, because they don’t want
a home, because they want to be different from other peo
ple or because they can live cheaper in that state? I think
not.
The main reasons they don’t marry are twofold: First, they cannot afford
to keep a wife, and second, most of the marriageable women are not fit to
become wives.
Why can’t they afford to keep a wife? Simply because the various trades
- are so overrun with female labor that the man hasn’t a chance to earn a
9 man’s wages. A woman’s sphere is the home, a man’s sphere is business.
Why are most of the marriageable women unfit to become wives? lam
sure I don’t'know. It certainly isn’t the man’s fault that a woman doesn’t
- know how to sew, cook, made a bed correctly, and in fact keep a house in
the way a house should be kept.
Every man likes to have a home, a place where he may rest from his la
* bbrs, a wife and children to welcome him. Give a man a decent position
and a woman who knows how to run a home and he will get married every
time.

QUARANTINE OF CATTLE
Restrictive Areas Changed By
the Secretary of Agriculture.
SOUTHERN FEVER THE CAUSE
Inspection Privilege Has Been With
drawn From Some Sections on
Account of the Disease.
Washington. D. C. —New regula
tions regarding southern or Texas fe
ver of cattle have been issued by the
secretary of agriculture, to take ef
fect April 1. The quarantine takes In
the entire states of Alabama, Missis
sippi, Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina, and parts of California, Tex
as, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas,Ten
nessee, t Georgia, North Carolina and
Virginia. There is some reduction of
the quarantined area, and the excep
tions on certain portions of this area
have been modified. As a general rule,
between February 1 and October 31
cattle may be moved from the quar
antined area only when shipped by
rail to market centers for immediate
slaughter. _
Aside from the changes in the quar
antined area itself, the principal
charge in the regulations is tnat the
privilege of making interstate ship
ments of cattle from that area upon
inspection atjd certification will be
limited to cattle that have been only
on premises known to have been free
of infection for at least six months,
and this provision will also apply to
movements during the open season.
The changes in the quarantined
area, as compared with that of last
year, are as follows:
In Virginia, Spottsylvania county is
released from quarantine. Warwick
county, with the exception of Newport
News district, is quarantined. The
inspection privilege is withdrawn from
Fluvana county and is granted to
Lunenburg county.
In North Carolina, Union, Anson
and Warren counties are released
from quarantine.
In Georgia, the inspection privilege
is withdrawn from Fannin, Murray,
Gilmer and Hall counties.
PHONObKAPHIC SAFE LOCK.
Combination Responds Only to Mas
ter’s Voice.
Denver, Colo. —A Denver man has
invented a phonographic safe lock,
which, he says, can only be opened
by the owner, and tests in the pres
ence of experts substantiate his
claims. In place of the familiar knob
on the door is the mouthpiece of a
telephone. A delicate needle is at
tached to the diaphragm, the end of
the needle resting in the groove of a
sound record made on a phonograph
cylinder.
The word which the safe is locked
on is thus recorded and the one who
uttered it must repeat it before the
safe will open, in the tests a dozen
men tried to imitate the voice of the
man who locked the safe, but the lock
would respond only to the right man.

Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Jr., Takes Her
Own Life.
Washington, D. C. —Weary of the
gay swirl of society and face to face.,
as she believed, with yeai-s of phys
ical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Lorillard,
Jr., aged 49, wife of the tobacco mag
nate, committed suicide by asphyxia
tion, at her home near the fashion
able DuPont circle, in this city. Her
tragic death has shocked the first so
cial circles of the capital as nothing
else has in years. The members of
the Lorillard family, famous because
of its wealth, are gathering here to
mourn over the unexpected blow.
In spite of the coroner's certificate
of death by suicide, members of the
family declare that Mrs. Lorillard
died of heart failure.

“OUfOFHELL INTO EDEN.”
Rabbi Advises Young Men to Get Out
City and Go to Country.
Chicago, 111. —“Out of Hell! Back
to Eden!’’ That is the exhortotion
given young men of the Chicago He
brew institute by Rabbi Isaac Land
man, who declares that Hell is the
city and Eden the farm.
“In Eden,’’ says Mr. Landman,
“there is always work to do. There
is beauty for the eye and joy for the
ear. There is health and riches, too,
for him who employs his muscle for
making the earth give up the bless
ings hidden there. The excuse that
nineteen centuries of .Christian in
tolerance have unfitted Jews for the
pursuit of agriculture is now invalid.”

THE FACT that SQUARE DEALING, up-to date

20 Years
WithHeartT:rouble
“Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years’ standing. I was
so bad that I could not do my
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;
then I commenced taking the
Heart Remedy. I shall never
forget that night. I slept better
than I had before in months. I
kept right on getting better, un
til I was perfectly well.”
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, lowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diffi
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. Dr. Miles’ Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.
