A mother has asked him for advice regarding The son it seems, has genuine musical talent, and until he reached the self-conscious age, was making fine progress on the piano. But now he balks at music lessons. School is about to begin, the football season will soon be starting, and to continue any education along musical lines, the son regards as disgraceful and "SISSY". So he positively refuses. He wants to be a man's man, with his shirt sleeves rolled up, his cords in proper disarray, and a hard-boiled light in his left eye. He doesn't want to be any long-haired music "perfessor," WHAT to dot Would ye sapient editor, advise a little hard boiled technique on the part of "mommer", forcing the lad to the musical fountain even though he refuses to drink? Or would he advise leaving well enough alone, drop any forc ing methods, and trust that when the "sissy" complex is out grown as, of course, it will be, a natural musical tempera ment will assert itself. A NICE problem, and a very old one. "We understand the attitudes of both parties in the controversy, and regard them as perfectly natural ones. Of course "mommer" is right and the boy isn't; but how can is wrong t That's the difficulty. Our pline idea that, in all likelihood give the lad an "anti-piano" come. But we wouldn't drop the slowly and cautiously for the be as "collegiate" as he wants to be, that is an inevitable phase and will do no real harm. Don't force music on him, let him discover music for himself. For if he really has music in will be the inevitable outcome. he expects. For Shakespeare was not the only genius to discover that "music soothes the savage breast." T football rallies, the football hero comes first of course, but whether in school of college the chap who can BANG the piano in PROFESSIONAL style comes a close second. He is always in demand. And when the fraternity festivities begin, The idea that the chap at the hair, a Windsor tie, and be troubled with falling arches, is as completely "out" in school and college circles; as the idea that to play good football, a man must have a cauliflower car and spit through his teeth. That's really "kid" stuff. catch onto it, if he is normally normal course. So Ye Editor's advice is "leave well enough alone." Let nature take its course. Don't force the music motif, and above all don't monkey with the tremelo stop. Boys hate that sort of thing. Let the young man discover the truth for HIMSELF, which ho is bound to do. Then in later years he will not only find that him in school, but it gave him and pleasure and relaxation in later life. Something within himself that was increasingly worth while, ns the years passed on. The Situation Is Serious FEDERAL forest service officials report that forest fires on positive proof the fires were set unable as yet to apprehend the With the country side and forests as dry as they are, a forest fire endangers not only property but human life. In one of last night's fires a home and all its contents was barely saved from complete destruction. This fire setting under such condi tions, is a form of wanton vandalism that must bo stopped. The only way to stop it, is only in the cities but throughout it, that the firebugs will find the This can be done by cooperation with forest service officials, on the part of the people, all of information regarding suspicious characters roaming about the woods, and of course the prompt reporting of fires the mo ment they are discovered. THE situation is really a CRITICAL one.

Communications How Taxra Can l I.onered To tha Editor: Again -e mit b mathematically prerlae.

Addreas Dr. William Brady, 265 Kl Camlno, Beverly UUla, Cal. WHAT TO DO This column U strictly professional, so we shall have no facetious com ment if you please. Fact la, I've been warned. People expect a physician to be solemn or at least dignified. Borne persons snore to beat the band If they He on their backs, and cease snor ing If they turn onto their sides. When one lies supine the tongue and the soli palate, relaxed In sleep, tend to fall back and cover the mouth of the larynx. That produces a tre mendous snore. But when one lies on the side or more or less prone, tongue and aoft palate tend to fall away from the larnyx and so the breathing la not obstructed. While some Individuals snore only In the supine, others continue all through the night grinding out their doleful music In any position except perhaps Trendelenberg or knee-chest, and it Is hard to get a sleeping per son to assume or retain these fancy positions. Some authorities argue that the beat position for prevention of snoring la vertical, at the end of a short length of rope, but as I say, doctor should strive to be earnest at all times. People who snore a great deal do so for three main reasons. One reason Is they have chronlcrhlnltls or chronic pharyngitis and are so dumb or so close that they Just won't have the trouble properly treated by the physician. People who snore are actually dumb, thick-headed, dull witted, that Is, If they are aware of the Intolerable annoyance they give others who have to sleep In the same house with them, A smart Individual who Is aware that he snores will lose no time consulting his physician and having the snore removed. The second reason Is a studied 1 neglect of physical training. Snoring back to the counties according to the shelter value In the several coun ties. Section S of the bill proposed explains the exact method of giving this credit: "Section 5. The amount of tax credit, the owner of a homestead shall be allowed shall be based upon the assessed value of the homestead If the assessed value Is less than $1500, and if the asessed value is J1500 or more than 91500, then It hall be baaed on the $1800 valuation. The amount of credit the owner of homestead shall receive shall be arrived at In the following manner: The tax receipt shall be made out by the sheriff, as at the present time, except there shall be added three columns. In the first column shall be set down the assessed value of the homestead, if less than elOOO. If $1500 or over, then the amount set. down In this column shall be $1500. In the second column shall be writ- j ten, first, the amount of mlllege levy for school purposes In the district in which the homestead la located.! which In no cae shall exceed twenty mills: second, the mlllage levy for the state general fund: third, the amount In mills of any other tax levies made by the county. In case the sum total of the mlllage levy set down In this column amounts to more than forty mills then forty mills only shall be used In comput ing the credit. In the third column shall be placed the amount of the credit, found by multiplying the amount of the assessed value of the homestead set down in the first column by the sum total of the mlll age set down In the second column, not exceeding forty rnllla-" Since shelter value In tne state Is only one-sixth of the total assessed property value a two per cent sales tax would make It possible to pro vide for a forty mill tax credit on shelter value. If Interest In home ownership is revived by removing the obstacles In the way of home ownership business generally will benefit. It la not so much a matter of high taxea on In come property but rather a lack of business that now maxea income property an unprofitable investment. Pull time employment ox au worao at a high minimum wage for com mon labor would greatly Increase purchasing power end Insure profits to those owntrur income property. Tax exemption on shelter value In home and a low Interest rate ior home development would place home ownership within the reach of every worker in our atate. Home owners In our statae would support a general salea tax for shelter tax exemption since this measure would give them six times the credit that a general aalea tax would give the home owner If levied for the purpose of general tax reduction as waa proposed In the measure submitted to the people by the special session of the legisla ture. J. C. BARNES. I It Might be Worse! (iirpunnsnea nv nrqurM , WHO WOULD BK A COMMUNIST? AROUE EVERY DAY, PIVIDS EVERY DAY. SQUABBUt EVERY DAY. OVER DIVISION? THINK IT OVER' Farmers and Fruitgrowers Bank !tepolt liiMired) rttt I ABOUT S.NORINO people never walk when they can possibly ride, nor do they ever climb stairs If they can find a lift. At first they avoid exercise because It seems rather uncouth and unfashionable, and, besides It Is so low to sweat. Presently they avoid exercise be cause they haven't the ambition to do anything. This false view of life gets them Into a flabby, soft con dition, and that favors snoring. So the cure in such cases Is adequate dally exercise. Nothing Is better than three to six miles of walking every day. The third and perhaps most com mon cause of snoring Is oversize. Not necessarily overweight, but oversize, This Is due not so much to over eating as to unbalanced diet. If you are oversize send a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for free monograph on Reduction, which tells how to balance your diet physiology lcally. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Buttermilk Is there any or much or no Acid ophilus bacillus In ordinary butter milk? (A. L. A.) Answer The souring of milk Is due to the growth of the natural strain of lactac acid bacllla which occur In milk. I do not believe there Is any advantage in using any special strain of lactac acid bacilli. Ordinary but' term Ilk will produce every wholesome or remedial effect one can expect from any artificially soured or fer mented milk, In my opinion. Wiseacres School board forbids children skip ping rope. They say it causes en larged heart . . . (Mrs. J. D. P.) Answer Nonsense. Rope skipping Is fine sport and healthful exercise for normal children. The school board should, leave such questions to the individual child's physician. Ed.

I should probably have taken Tom Holmes' hack. But I'd like to wander down Back street. That atrabilious tumble-down Is where we traded nickel novels with the mulatto paramour or Pedro Joe, the white-washer. Joe talked with a foreign accent, played tunes on peach leaves and exuded a strangling frowst of raw whiskey and venom ously strong tobacco. He also foretold fortunes with spider webs. Down a short way, Banker Henklng's home with cupola, dark-trimmed li brary and the town's first port co chere.
