lung troubles or THEY WILL KILL
YOU. That's the whole situation in
nutshell.
Never was there cure for lung trou-
bles equal to the newly y-discovered DR..
Sleeum treatment. This forms sys-
tenn OF Four Remedies that are used si-
multaneously and supplement each
others curative action. 1t cures weak
lungs, bronchitis, asthma, coughs, con-
sumption and every other aiiment Of
the pulmonary region. 1t destroys
every germ that can affect the respiTa-
tory system, and even in advanced
stages OF lung trouble positively arrests
the tubercular growth, while it also
builds up the patient so that his system
is enabled to throw off serofula, rheum-
atism, catarrh, and other wasting dis
eases.
Thousands Of cured cases already
prove these claims, Thousands of grate-
full people bless the discovery.
The Doctor wants everybody to know
the surprising merits of his system. He
has arranged to give free treatment

A WISE APPOINTMENT.


Governor Stephens has appointed
r. M. White, editor of the Mexico
LEDGER, a member Of the board OF
managers of State Lunatic Asylum,
No. /, at this place in place of Geo. A.
Dean, whose time had expired. Mr..
White ia one OF the best known news
paper men In Missouri. He was grad
uated from Westminster College and
now holds the position OF president OF
the board OF trustees of the college,
and will fill the office he has been ap-
pointed to with both credit and dis
tinction. In the appointment OF Mr..
White, Governor Stephens has acted
wisely. No better man could have
been found for the position.
WE have several times heard the
question asked as to just what was
meant by the single tax theory. The
following is the definition given by the
Secretary of the st. Louis Single Tax
League in q short and concise form:
"a single tax system of collecting
public revenues means the assess
ment, by the same method as at
present employed, of all lands,
whether in use or idle, that have any
value exclusive OF improvements, and
all franchises, and the collection from
this one source of all revenues. Thus
all personal property and improve
ments, which include money, credits,
stocks, bonds, live stock, buildings,
fruit treea, ditching, fencing, clearing
and everything that requires the en-
ployment of labor, will be absolutely
free of taxation.n
