RESPONSIBILITY FOR

Commissioners to Apply to

CONDEMN PRESENT SYSTEM
Aim to Protect Purchasers of Realty
From Levies Made Prior to Is
suance of Certificates.

The District Commissioners have
taken steps for the enactment of law
which will make tax certificate bind
ing upon the municipal government for
all unpaid taxes omitted therefrom.
The Corporation Counsel has advised
the Board that this action is des.ra-
BILE. and the Commissioners have APP
proved recommendation made by
Commissioner West that the statute
in question be framed and sent TO Con-
gress with request for its enact
ment.
the Board recently in which persons
have purchased property on the faith
of tax certificate issued some time
prior to the purchase. Later. when
applying Cor tax bills. they have been
surprised to find that their property
was loaded with overdue taxes, and the
title clouded by tax sale certificates
or tax deeds. c-.c .sffe
A case was that OF H. Bradley Da-
wilson, who applied to the Commits
sioners for the cancellation OF an old
tax against his property. The appli-
cation went through the usual chan
mel and was made the subject of re-
port from the Corporation Counsel. in
which he said that the Commissioners
had no legal authority to cancel the
tax, but that law ought to be
passed which would make the certifi-
cate issued by the Assessors Office a
bar against the collection of any tax
omitted upon such certificate.
In forwarding the case to his as
sociates Commissioner West said:
Il agree thoroughly with the SUCCESS
tion that Congress be asked to enact
law providing that "a certified state
ment of taxes, whenever and to whom
soever it may be issued. shall be an
absolute bar against the collection of
any tax or assessment omitted there

case OF Catarrh.
Most remedies for the treatment of
catarrh are in the form of sprays. In
halers. powders. washes. or salves. all
purely local applications. and many OF
them often give temporary relief. but
the reason none of them ever really
cure chronic catarrh is because catarrh
is not a local disease. and it cannot be
cured simply by treating the local symp-
toms.
Moreover, the more serious forms OF
catarrh. like catarrh of the stomach and
catarrh of the bronchial tubes Cannot
be reached at all by local applications,
and the fact that neglected catarrh OF
the head very soon involves the bron-
chial tubes. stomach and liver. demon
strateS that the disease is a blood dis
order, a constitutional malady, and not
at all 2 local disease.
To really cure catarrh the system
must be cleansed from catarrhal poison
by an internal remedy which acts eff
fectively upon the blood and liver.
The success of q new catarrh remedy,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is because II
drives out OF the system, through nat
ural channels. the catarrhal poison and
the mucous lining OF the nose. throat
and trachea are freed from the excess
sive mucus which collects and causes
the hawking, splitting and gagging. be-
cause the excessive secretion is not
furnished from healthy blood
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many
of the same valuable antiseptics used In
sprays and inhalers, but instead of be-
Ing applied to the inflamed membranes
of the nose and throat. they are taken
into the stomach and thus reach the
blood. the real seat and cause of the
disease.
Stuart's Ca;arrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges. composed of
Red Gum. Hydrastan. Bloodroot. and
similar catarrh specifics. and SO safe 10
use that little children suffering from
colds take them with same beneficial
results as adult persons
No trace OF cocaine or opiates. so
common in catarrh medicines, can be
found in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.

That such literature is harmful is beyond
question, inasmuch as It places a fictitious
value upon an exception and ignores, or
worse than that, disparages. sub-con-

Any good vocal teacher will tell you
that the voices which are discovered
