Valuations and Taxes.

The consequences of unequal taxa
alton as exemplifed in ordinary ex-
perience are seen to affect the man
Of small means oppressively, while
it favors men of wealth. Especially
burdensome is this arrangement to
the ordinary farmer and to the ma
iority of householders in towns
especially the wage earners. Many
farms are mortgaged, often to more
than half their value, and the homes
of a large number of townspeople
are either mortgaged under deed or
the homes are held under contract
-ssbond for deed''-and are only
partially paid for. In every case
the farm and the town home are
taxed at the valuation and the own
ers, who have not fully paid for
them, pay tax on the full value.
For instance: A man is in posses
sion of a farm worth $4,000 upon
which there is mortgage of $4,000.
This man pays tax on twice the
amount of property he owns. This
state of affairs is common, and is
acknowledged to be radically wrong
and oppressive to a class of people

struggling to attain to one of those
conditions which go to make good,
conservative citizens of the state
''the pillars of the state-the owners
of permanent homes. There is an
other chapter to this story, or Sc
quel to it. It is the law that this
mortgage of $4,000 against this
farm shall pay tax, but does it?
Gov. La Toilette, in his message to
the Legislature, says that the intan-
gible property of the state (securi-
ties) are assessed at only five per
cent. of its value. IF the real estate
is taxed at it's full value and the
mortgage at its face, this is double
taxation to the amount of the value
of the mortgage, which is wrong in
principle. There should be some
way of correcting such pronounced
and exasperating wrongs. Wheth-
er intangible property can be made
to pay its share of the tax or not it
is an evident injustice to tax the real
estate owner on the amount of his
indebtedness. If his Indebtedness
be deducted from the value of prop
erty in his possession he will pay
more than his share of the tax for
he has to help pay what the holder
of securities lies out of.

There Is often a foul taste in the
mouth coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, inhamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstin-
ate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cOus surfaces OF the stomach. To Sc
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
r.ormal digestion is secured the al!
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlan50n the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that

viii follow theil regular use after meals.
MIR, n. J. Booher, Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
"Catarrh is local condition resulting
from neglected cold in the head. where
by the lining membrane of the nose be-
comes inflamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom passes backward into
the throat and reaches the stomach.

ROYAL tonic
Vinol Will Invigorate And

We Endorse and

We sell many tonics.

We sell many tonics.
We have demands for many So called
strength creators.
We handle all kinds of remedies that
claim to be invigorators. We dc this be-
cause we are druggists, and it is our
business to supply the public with that
which they want.
When our advice is asked, however, as
to tonic and rebuilder, strength creator
and an appetite producer, we invariably
recommend Vinol. We do this because
we know all about Vinol. We know all
that it contains. We have sold enormous
quantities of it, and we have had every
opportunity offered! us to watch the re-
suits that have been accomplished by the
use of this wonderful reconstruction.
If you have not yet had occasion to use
such tonic we would like to have you
call on us, and learn why we are so en-
thusiastic about this scientific remedy.
Vinol contains all the curative princi-
pies in a highly concentrated state that
are found in cod liver oil. 1t does not
contain, however, any of the obnox-
ious, digestion destroying grease that
ALWAYS proved to be such drawback
to what otherwise would have been
most valuable remedy. We wish you

that as blood enricher and flesh creator
and as a wonderful aid to digestion, we
know of nothing that will com pare with it.
Mrs NJ. l.. Perkins, Bangor, Maine,
says: II have only taken one bottle of
Vinol. /, therefore, am not in a position
to know the full extent of its beneficial
action, but this one bottle has convinced
me that Vinol is marvellous tonic.
While i'll this winter with grippe, a
friend told me about Vinol, and recon-
mended it so highly that procured
bottle. 1t benefited me wonderfully,
and / believe that it possesses splendid
building up properties. The little l have
taken of it has convinced me that in my
case it is most excellent
We endorse VinOl. We guarantee Its
action. Such is our faith in 1t that we
will gladly refund to anyone who is not
satisfied the price they have paid for it.
