To The Ladies'.

There are thousands of ladies through
out the country whose systems are pOis-
oned, and whose blood is in an impure
condition from the absorption of impure
matter, due to menstrual Irregularities.
This class are peculiarly benefited by the
wonderful tonic and blood-cleansing
properties Of prickly ash, poke root and
potassium (P. P. P.). Roses and bOund-
ing health take the place of the sckly
look, the lost color and general wreck OF
the system by the use of prickly ash, poke
root and potassium, as hosts of females
will testify, and many certificates are in
possession of the company which they
have promised not to publish, and all
prove P. P. P. a blessing to wOmankind.

Yhe pnzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and bafled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most nauseOus
and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to,
and the records show very few or no cases
of radical cure of chronic catarrh by any
of the many modes Of treatment until
the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm a
few years ago. The success Of this prep
aration has been most gratifying and
surprising. No druggist is without it. 2

the nation to be about 80 billion dollars.
Deduct 10 billion dollars for value Of inn
prOvsments and we have 80 billion dol
lars OF land values. Now, from this
land we must raise 400 million dollars, or
we must have tax levy Of Ia per cent,
30 that an average farmer on 160.RCrs
farm, which, irrt Jpectivs Of improve
ments, in Kansas would be worth prObs-
bly, about $4,000, would pay just S2S, or
less than one-tenth Of the tax he is com.
pelled to pay under the present system.
There would be no extra expense Of col
lection, because our present assessors
would be the only ones, and our state
treasurer would pay onr proportion of
the government tax to the national
treasurer, which would be in proportion
to the value Of our land, just as our
county treasurer pays our proportion Of
the state tax to the state treasurer now.
In regard to our state and county
taxes the single tax would be wholly in
the interest of resident farmers and
business men Rs it would compel non.
resident landowners to pay tax in pro-
portion to the value Of land that they
owned. Nonresident landowners don't
own any personal property in Kansas,
and Of course, il o portion of our taxes
are levied on personal property the levy
will bO lighter on land, and nonresident
landowners taxes will be lighter.
Under the single-tax system the average
farmer Of 160 acres would probably have
to pay about &25 tax for state, county
and township purposes, or total assess
ment OF about $58 for state and national
purposes. Now the single-tax contsm-
plates the taking OF the total rental
value Of land or an annual tax of about
5 per cont. Of its selling value for public
purposes. Now we have our national,
state and municipal governments paid
Tor at &53 per 160 acres, and 5 per cent.
on q $4,000 farm would amount to 800,
so We would have s47 per 16O acres left.
Now q proportionste tax levy on all Of
the land in the United States which the
single-taK contemplRtes, would amount
to 700 million dollars over and above
all present public expenses. Suppose
we should apply this surplus toward the
distribution Of wealth, 100 million dol
lara would pay 3 per cent. interest on 4
billion dollars Of bonds which it would
be necessary to issue in order to buy
the railroads; estimating their value at
5 billion dollars we could issue l billion
dollars Of greenbacks and pay one-ffth
Of their value down, and we could issue
bonds for the balance; 5O4 million dol
lars would pay the 100000 railroad en-
ployeS an average Of $50 per month.
which is more than they receive now
and under the single.tax $50 per month
would 90 farther than 800 now.
Now, we have 76 million dollars Of our
100 million dollars left to buy the coal
and pay for repairs and the other nee.
es8ary expenses with. For fear that
wouldn't be sufficient / would recon
mend q moderate charge for passenger

to their work. A moderate charge for

Some New Argument for the Single Tax.


Of substituting the siDgle-tsx for our
present systsm Of taxation, perhaps q
comparison Of the two systems with
especial reference to their respective
effects on the farmer would drive away
some Of the prejudice that exists in the
minds Of some against said change.
It takes about $40 per capita to run
the government under the present sys-
tenn, or about $50 for each family Of Ave
nearly 600 million dollars per Annum,
which would amount to just $40 per
capita for 60 million people.
II the farmers paid with same proper
tion as the balance Of the people, each
farmer would pay Just an average Of $50
per Rnnum into the government treas
ury. But any man Of ordinary lntslli.
gsnce can see at a glance that the farm.
eFs pay q great deal more than the
average citizen. Under the present sys-
tenn Of taxation, each pays in proportion
to what he consumes, and there is no
other class Of citizens that consumes
anywhere near as much in proportion to
their capital as the farmer. For instance,
the farmer consumes steam thresheEg,
binders, headers, plows, hsrrows,
wagons, wire, lumber, nails, and many
other things that no other class Of peo-
pie consume, and then they consume az
much Of the things that other people
consume as they do; hence it would be
entirely within the bounds Of reason to
estimate the proportion that the farmers
pay ct 800 per family Of five, just
double what the average citizen pays.
Now, it is q well. known fact that by
reason Of the prote ctive features of our
tariff law that there Is at least 81 goes
into the pockets OF our manufacturers
and mine,owners for everyone that is
received by the government, hence the
average farmer must pay at least $500
per annum under our present system Of
taxation. 1t can be easily seen that this
estimate is about correct, for the total
receipts Of an average farm Of 100 acres
will average about $1,000 per Rnnum,
and il the tariff only increases the price
Of com modities 80 per cent, it would
compel the average farmer to pay just
$500 more for the goods he bought with
his $1,000.
But the indirect effect Of our system Of
taxation is worse than the direct, for q
robbed customer must necessarily be q
poor one; hence, by allowing the manu-.
facturers to charge the masses, who are
the farmers customers, two prices for
the goods that they are compelled to
have makes them just to the extent that
they are robbed that much poorer GUS
toners for the farmers; for it is q we'll
known fact that the average family will
scrimp at the table sooner than on their
backp. People can see what they wear,
but not what they eat; hence, q hungry
stomach and good clothes often go to-
gsther. BY adopting the singls-tax, at
least 80 per cent Of the money that
now goes into the pockets Of our million
Rire manufacturers would assume its
natural course and soon find its way
into the farmers pocket.
Now, we have seen about what our
present system of taxation costs the
farmer, and, Of course, we can't make .
fair comparison Of the two systems with

HELENA, Mon, Jan. 2.-Engineer
Dennis j. Delay and Fireman John
Hagan, who were injured in the North
ezn Pacific wreck near Boulder Satur-
day, died in the hospital. Both Of
Delays legs had been amputated and
Hagan was terribly crushed. The wreck
was caused by running into deep snow
bank ina cur. The engine toppled over
almost upside down. The two dead
men and III. u. Hays, foreman OF the
section, were pinned down by the sharp
frame Of The tender, which had cut
both OF Delays legs of below the knees,
so they hung merely by the skin. Hays
Left leg was also cut of below the
knee. The steps of the tender were
forced into Ragan's stomach. His left
thigh was crushed, and his back was in
jured. All three were conscious. Ra-
gan was gotten out In 20 minutes, but
Delay and Hays remained under the
tender for two hours and half, while
the section crew slowly raised the heavy
tender with their jack screws. They
displayed splendid nerve, encouraging
the rescuers by telling them how the
slowly lifting burden was gradually
easing them. Hays gave orders TO his
men about the adjustment of the jack
screws, and how,to extricate Delay and
himself from beneath the tender.
