to those burdens which are imposed for the
general purposes Of government.
So also in City of st. Paul vs. st. Paul &
Sioux City Railroad Company the rule is
stated that the words taxes" and taxa
tom are to be construed to refer "soleIy to
general or ordinary taxes and not to special or
local assessments" when used in statutes
granting immunity from taxation, such as ex-
empt school houses churches and the like.
I conclude, therefore, that this church, while
exempt from taxation for the ordinary pur
poses of government, remains subject to ths
burdens imposed by the so-caled water
front assessment, that being an assessment
suecial and local in its character.

Toss OF appetite and inability to Sleep especially
when it is accompanied by severe pains, be-
cause it signifies q general breaking down Of
the whole system. Some serious arrangement
is the cause, probably existing in the stomach

er or kidneys, causing the blood to be contam-,
mated, and all PARTS of tho body to become
weakened and diseased in sympathy. Such.
troubles cannot be taken care of too soon, and

Her charming lips did curl
She laughed, and straight delirious wen,

The refrain of their love and did

But not sound did pass his lips
Nor was one by her heard.

Nor did a word from either come
When he stole sudden kiss
No occult wave did voice their thoughts
Nor did it keep them mum
Their finger ends they used, you see,
For both were deaf and dumb.
