Alleged Improper Assessment.

assessed against lot IL, square 1909. prop

the Commissioners to their attorney, Mr..
A. B. Duvall. who has advised them that
the assessment in question was properly
levied
The assessment, explains Mr.. Duvall,
treats the lot as having frontage Of 661f
feet on N street, while the owner claims
that according to his title deeds the lot has
frontage of only 60 feet on N street, and
that he has always paid the general taxes
on his lot on that basis. Mr.. Duvall says
it appears from the report of the surveyor
that the title deeds do call for frontage
of but 60 feet, but that the entire front Of
the square actually measures 8 feet in ex-
cess Of It's record front. Mr.. Duniops in

HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS NEW FAD?
Vegetarians. anti-coffee drinkers and food cranks

Few fad has the floor
A society has recently been formed, the members
of which pledge themselves to eat no food what
that has been cooked. They claim that IN
cooked food is the only .Onal, healthful diet;
that our remote ancestors ate cooked food and
therefore II we do the same vigor and health will
be reward.
Raw meat, raw potatoes, raw wheat, raw eggs
everything is the enticng bill of fare held
out to the enthusiastic food crank of the future
and the society proposes 10 establish restaurants in
the larger cities where this delightful menu may
be served daily.
Modern cooking is often a dyspepsia producer,
because fry many foods which should be
baked, roasted brOiled boiled: fried food is in
digestble because each particle of food Is incased
in hot grease which the digestive juices of the
stomach cannot easily penetrate; but properly
cooked food is more easily dgested than the same
food knocked and predict for the new fad
very limited following.
The real of Indigestion is the lack of
Hydrocbloric acid and peptones in the stomach. so
that no matter how well cooked the food 1t cannot
be well dgested unless the gastric juice is abund-
ant md contains the necessary amount of peptones

Therefore the most sensible cure for Door dises-
ton is TO take after each meal some safe and re-
liable digestive like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which supply peptones to digest the meat and eggs
and diasase TO digest the bread potatoes and SIM
liar starchy foods.
Laxative medicines cure indigestion be.
cause they have no digestive effect whatever upon
the food the other hand II the food is properly
digested there will be no need Of laxatives; good
digestion does away with constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pure aseptic
