The Railroad Tax.

The state assessors have committed
the railroad tax for 1902, the assessment
being made according to the statute OF
the business of the railroads for the year
ending June 30, 1901. The tax, exclu-
sive of that which goes to pay the ex-
penses of the railroad commission,
amounts to 1886, sol 60, as against
1901 ,093. 81 for 1901, making an increase
of $35, 70772. This shows conclusively
that the roads are prosperous. The
Maine Central pays the largest tax,
$l62 460.64, which is more than $4,000
above its tax of last year; the Bangor
and Aroostook, 1924 406. 10, nearly SO, 900
more than last year; the Boston &
Maine, $50, 500 81, nearly $1,000 more
than last year.
Somerset roads are taxed as follows
Somerset railway, $l,35474, $3l8 80
above that of last year; Sebasticook and
Moesehead, $60.57 SSH more than in
1901; Somerset Traction Co., $46.82,
So 81 more than in 1901; Skowhegan &
Norridgewock Co., 81 60, few cents
above the tax of last year.

Henrtburn.

The burning in the throat called pop
ularly heartburn" shows that acid
fermentation is taking place. A good
palliative is bicarbonate of soda. OF
this one teaspoonful may be taken in a
tumblerful of water. Repeat IL the
burning does not pass away. But
blessed are they who can vomit, for
this Is the only scientific and natural
means of cure. Indigestion always
means that chemical changes have oc-
CURED by which products have been
formed hurtful to the system. Vomiting
may be assisted by copious drafts of
warm water. and these will wash out
the stomach. A remedy that merely
relieves pain does not effect this.

the Clubs, those members who take an
active part in the work of the club. or
those who go to be instructed and en-
tertained? Why is it that the most severe
