We very much doubt that the people OF Trum-
bull county will accept the Auditors invitation
to come over the line into Portage, for the reason
that Portage county's tax duplicate shows an
increase of two and half millions dollars. and
Trumbull's shows a decrease of one million dol
lars. People are not apt to voluntarily increase
their tax burdens without an actual increase OF
wealth, unless increased benefits are expected,
By this assessment Portage Co. will pay, In the
next decade an increased tax for State purposes.

bull $4,000 less This is certainly cause for con-

diseases, VIM. Radam's Microbe Killer stands
foremost. AS tonic and blood purifier, 1t is
mer1tedly called the greatest medicine in the
world. known less than four years, its Won

such an unprecedented sale that ten factories

the demand. Testimonials from persons OF
