Fs CLEANING UP
© Wilkes-Barre has called William Mannear from the service of the United
States Government to actively lead the Taxpayers’ Association. This is just
nother organized movement for the people who pay the bills to demand a
‘knowledge and to present an organized voice as to how that money shall
be spent. : 3
Wilkes-Barre’s move is commendable and a good example. Every: tax-
payer should be interested in knowing where his money goes in his respective
town or township. ‘Right now Dallas has one adjusting] process (cleaning up,
it you wish), which must be recognized. It is not a whim nor a fancy,
just a sheer fact and that is the equalization of assessed property valuations.
here is a lot of talk about borough taxes being high. They are pretty hign
or some folks and pretty low for some others. Houses of equal quality should
carry the same valuation—they don’t always. The Post believes that there
shrould be a standard by which these assessments should be adjusted. An
equalization of assessment will not, produce a tax panacea—but it will correct
one tax condition. The Post is willing and is prepared to provide an ex-

THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Fulfillment of prophecy is finely exampled in this lesson study. Years be-
for Isaiah had declared that there would be deliverance for the Jews in
ondage by one named Cyrus. Jeremiah in writing a letter of encouragement
from Jerusalem to_the brethren in captivity stated that after seventy years
there would be a release. In that fullness of time the event took place which
~ perfectly met both prophecies. It was just seventy years from the first depor-
tation, in the fifth year of king Jehoiakim, to the first year of Cyrus. Also the
Te sane period between the destruction of Jerusalem and the completion of the
~~ second temple.
3 Keep in mind that Daniel was an old man when he interpreted that hand-
writing on the wall on the same night in which the Chaldeans were captured
by Darius, as the waters of the Euphrates were turned aside and the enemy
entered under the city walls. Within three years Cyrus became king in Baby-
lon. If Daniel was still living he would surely be a man that Cyrus would
wish to meet, for he had great fame as a man of wisdom and one who could
‘interpret dreams. He had been a prime minister and anything he said would
ommand respect from a thoughtful monarch.
© When it was read from the Scripture rolls that Isaiah had said in prophecy
‘that one naimed Cyrus would be the man to restore Jerusalem special attention
was given thereto. Further, it was strategy to have a favorable people in
Palestine, for that little country was on the highway to Egypt. The decree
was promulgated giving: permission to any captives to return to the land
whence they had been taken. Many were so well settled in Babylonia that
the opportunity did not appeal to them. The younger who may not have
been fully satisfied where they were, the adventurous and those who were
stiret religionists and were ever thinking back to the Temple days were among
those who said, “We will go aad rebuild Jerusalem and its Temple.”
~The brethren were urged to make gifts with which to further the work
in the home land if they did not care to make the return personally. Cyrus
‘did the noble thing, in contrast to Belshazzar who hurled insult by the
of the vessels taken fron the Temple in plunder. These were given to the
returning colonists. The total was 5,400. The route chosen by the 50,000
was probably by the more northern way of Aleppo and Damascus rather than
he direct way across the desert. Safety was a greater consideration than speed
on this journey.

PAGE, LINE AND PARAGRAPH
The meat packer makes profitable
use of every by-product of the packing
business, and the grain farmer can do
the same by salvaging the dockage, or
screenings, from -his grain, and feeding
it to livestock. The average screenings
are comparadle, roughly, to oats in
composition. Heavy screenings from
which the chaffy material has been
removed are nearly equal to corn wheat
or barley in percentages of the various
nutrients. To avoid contamination of
the soil through weed seeds all screen-
ings used as feed should be thoroughly
ground except when fed to sheep.
Eggs are scarce on most farms dur=
ing the fall and winter because the
chickens do not get enough protein
for rapid growth during the summer.
An egg, aside from the shell, contains |
13.4 per cent protein, while poultry |
flesh contains 21.5 per cent protein. A

Proteins from animal scorces are gen- |

origin. Meat scrap, fish meal, milk, |

cost of production. :
Rats appear to have a strong aver-
sion for certain odors, such as creosote,
carbolic acid, and other coal and wood
var derivatives, kerone, and peppermint
and wintergreen oils, and this fact
may be taken advantage of in protect-
ing stored grain from the rodents, or
in preventing reoccupation of old rat
burrows. Flake napthaene scattered on
the floor and over the bags of sacked |
grain will keep away the rats and
won’t injure the seeed. Non-odorous
compounds that avoid can be used
where an odorous material would be
objectionable, as where foodstuffs are
kept. Among these are powdered sul- |
phur, lime, lye, and copperas. Sulphur |
particularly has been found to be excel-
in protecting stored grains from the
ravages of rats.

\ PROPER CARE OF THE TEETH
: Every so often some scientist foretells what. in his opinion, the man of
the future will look like. Not all of the prophecies tally. But on one thing
they seem to be fairly unanimous—that is that man is gradually becoming a
toothless animal. The teeth must go, they say, the same as the hair that
once upon a time covered man’s entire body has almost vanished. lothes
~ now take its place. And because of soft foods that require little or no chew-
ing they claim our teeth are gradually deteriorating.
It is not likely however that such a change will occur for many, genera-
tions. Despite what these scientists say I do not believe that teeth must go.
With the proper care man need never lose his teeth. With just a little trouble
“and the application of common sense we can all add ten or fifteen years to
the life of our teeth. But until the “toothless” age descends upon us, here
are a few simple precautions that will prolong the life of your teeth, keep
them strong and healthy, anh ward off many unnecessary diseases—thereby
improving. your general health and condition.
Brush the gums as well as the teeth.
Massage the gums with a rubber massage cup (made for the purpose) Or

Avoid extremes in temperature both in foods and liquids.

spaces between the teeth and the point where the gums cover the teeth free
from particles of soft food that deeay and caus pyorrhea. {
