whom most taxes eventually como, are
usually estimated at not owe $3.50 per

fve-say $40 or nearly 10 per cent. of
his earnings for each bread winner,
besides city, county and state taxes,

DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
Cures Mnefy-eight per cent of all
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura.
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but q large per-
eeuk4ge Of cases, and we believe, .IuuY %
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
~bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expecteration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme en1aciation II weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med.
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
who have no interest whatever in mis-.
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal ma1ady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod;
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract Of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.

those cured of consumption, bronchitis.

cata--t and kindred maladies, nave been

What Our Scottish Friends Want.

EDITOR Taxation StuOleS:
desire to cali your attention to the
declaration of the National Conference
OF the Scottish Liberal association that
the land belongs to the people and that
the values, or rent, should be taken for
public purposes only. When these
values are taken for the public uses of
the people whose presence and indus
try create them. Taxation on in
dustry will be a thing OF the past.
Relieved of this weight industry will
leap to the front, free not only from
the government taxgather but free
from the choking clutches of the dead
hand" of landlordisrn. That is what
the single tax will effect-perfect free
dom, and the certain death of the
vacant land industry. 1t will de-
stroy the business of mere land own
ing. Miles Of vacant land held out of
use in and around every industrial cen
ter at fancy monopoly prices will be
forced into the market at its normal
value and this value will then be taken
not for the exclusive benefit of a class,
but, as the Scottish Liberals have de-
clared, for public purposes only"
Such a change would speedily settle
the unemployed question. Capital can
only invest and be wrought, upon and
through land, and the Investment Of
capital means the employment Of
labor. Land monopoly checks at every
quick turn the advances of capital and
labor. The result is, land idle. capital
massed and wasting, and labor un-
employed. Everywhere, in this state,
in Texas or Missouri, as in Scotland.
the same cry goes up from the land
less: Land, land. everywhere, all
monopolized, but little of it used. We
farmers, who are not monopolists, say,
tax it according to its site value and
thus prevent its being held out Of use.

Progress in the Dairy.

There is probably no branch of farm.
ing that has made such rapid strides
as dairying during the past five years.
1t is now possible to estimate the an
nual profit of each cow and to discard
all animals falling below an estab,
lished standard. Butter making is
now reduced to such fine proportions
that churning is varied SO as to con-
troll water in the finished product. The
water content varies with the quantity
of salt used, used; thus, fresh or light
sailed butter requires less water.
Bu~tter-1naking will soon be a science
that few farmers can afford. Milk and
cream will be sold to the city or cream
cry, where aroma in the form of bacte-
ria for ripening will be cultivated and
used. Economy in dairying will then
fall back On the farmer, who will be
required to study and know the actual
value of the food consumed by each
COW and its value returned in the form
of milk or fertilizer.-Farm and Home.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement an'
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectualiy cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

A New Book on Taxation.

Socialist-Populis Errors, is a little
book issued from The Star press. 1t is
/ written by Arthur H. Dodge, printer,
editor, able writer and thoroughbred
single taxer.
The object of the book is to combat
| the notions of political economy, de.
rived from the teaching of Bellamy
and Gronlund, hat the state owes
every one a government job to loaf in,
and to set out in clear light the doc
trine that the state does w every one
an opportunity and full liberty to em'
ploy himself. This means, perforce,
freedom from need to buy such oppor.
tunity from some other, claiming to be
owner.
But to secure that freedom and op-
portunity the state has no need to be-
stow on the individual any power he
does not already possess; the need con-
sists in removing the present obstacles
the state itself has set up. He would
then help himself. The state has no
need to confer more rights on labor,
but to take it's w heavy hand off.
Lift the blight of taxation off indus
try, and labor leaping for the joy Of
unshackled limbs, spurning the limi-
tations of govern nent employment"
would go forth to help itself from the
bounteous earth-and make short
work of the monopolies.
Those who, feeling the burden of
this internal struggle for existence are
not in pursuit of blissful ignorance on
the subject, would like to get a plain,
common sense view of industrial con-
dltions, will find the book both enter
tanning and instructive.

THE FARMING WORLD.

In 1t the Farmer Will Find Good Crops

In 1t the Farmer Will Find Good Crops
and Good Dollars.
1t is probably a fact that it would
always pay to harrow wheat after il
comes up. A ncighbor Of mine once
narrowed his wheat and rolled it after
it came up. thought he had ruined
1t, but he had a better crop than I had
on land of similar character. have
seen corn narrowed after it had at
tanned considerable size. The process
seemed to tear the corn all to pieces,
but time showed that to all appear
ances the narrowing was beneficial.
In narrowing wheat after it comes up,
if it has been sown broadcast ON of
it will naturally be tori up. but the
crop will be better. The soil cannot
be stirred too much in the earlier
stages of plant growth. Crops that
can be drilled. such as wheat or peas,
may be drilled deep enough SO that
the harrow will not touch the roots.
Not only does cultivation rid the soil
of weeds, but it puts it into the best
possible shape to ~etndbhllM p1antsto
take up their food and also enables
the soil better to hold moisture; and
the earlier and more thorough the
cultivation the easier it will be t. de-
stroy the weeds. Weeds at first are
shallow rooted, and even if they have
not yet appeared above the surface
they will be so disturbed as to prevent
their growth. After heavy rains
crusts when they form on the sur
face should always be broken by the
harrow. If grain that is sowu in the
fall is narrowed in the spring the re-
suit will be very satisfactory.-Farm-
