WHERE LIVING COSTS MONEY.

People in the United States who are grumbing about high taxes should find much consolation in the knowledge that their property is not situated in any of the European capitals. In Berlin, for example, the great American life insur- ance companies are required to invest a certain port ion of their assets in city property, and their taxes. which are no higher than those of other real estate owners, amount annually to more than one third of their receipts from rentals. Tn Vienna taxes are even higher. The man who owns the building in which the American legation is located di- vides the rent with the government in equal shares. The same rates prevail in other large European cities.
 In addition to this the building reg uations are rigid and make construc- tion very expensive, and every struc- ture must be fireproof, with stone stair cases to the top floor double walls, floors and roofs of steel and terra cot ta The front must correspond with the adjoining buildings in height and arch

done by DR.. A, w. Chase's Nerve Pills.
Why they accomplish so much Is

which no other medicine in the world
has ever been able to do; that's why
hundreds of Scranton people offer their
testimony.

business or social ethics; nor does it
fall on its stomach and sing peans
