In addition there are other minor
items sufficient to make up the totals
above stated.
From these figures it will be seen that
the expenses of the city increased S.
302.41 in the year, and the receipts in
creased S9,6SS.49 in this fund.
In addition to the above receipts
should be included about $50, 900 which
should have rightfully been included in
the report as having been received
from the county treasurer. This would
leave a balance in this fund of about
$21 900 on the years receipts and ex
penses. or inclusive of the 81. .023. 90
balance left over from last year, the
balance in the fund at this time would
be about $3s, 600. Instead of this the
report shows balance of $13.41174.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.
The general Improvement fund. out
of which comes all the current expenses
not paid out of the general revenue
fund. including cost of street depart
ment. and large expenses incidental to
paving and sidewalk laying shows
total receipts for the year of sos. 1865
and total expenses of S63. .064.9l
In the year ending 1902 the total ex-
penses were 500 1880. and total receipts
were SIS S-23171
The falling off in receints is due sim
ply to the fact that the $4,000 which
should be included in the fund is lying
idle in the county treasury
The decrease in expenses is another
mark of credit to be given to the Par
ker administration.
AMOUNT RECEIVED IN TANES
The city treasurer's report shows that
during the year ending 1902, the city
received S24Ee63.51 from the county as
the city's share of the tax receipts
For the year ending 1908, the report
shows that only 1921 .S67. % has been re
ceived-
This shows falling off of $4,000 in
the amount Of this years taxes as com
pared with the taxes of a year ago.
This is q most remarkable circun-
stance. and would be inexolicable un-
less it was known that the city treas
urer has failed TO draw $4,000 which
stands to his credit.
The taxes paid for 1903 really run

Now that the tariff tax of 81
cents per ton on coal has been
temporarily removed by way of
favor to the consumer, the Chica-
go Chronicle wonders why the tar
iff on meats is permitted to re-
main. The tariff on cattle is
from 81 to $2.75 per head: on
swine $3.50 per head; sheep, IS
cents to 81 so per head bacon and
ham, 5 cents per pound; beef,
veal, mutton and pork 2 cents per
pound. The Chronicle further
points out that the tariff on wool
and manufactures of wool ranges
from so to 100 per cent. 1t pre-
tends to be surprised because the
same consideration that has been
given TO the coal consumers has
not been given to the consumers
of meat and to the consumers of
wool

Bread is reputed to be the "staf

who never eat bread. We allude
to this because of curious paral-
lei fact in medicine. Ifeven bread
does not suit quite everybody, we
don't expect one medicine, even
Vinol, to cure everybody.
But we recommend Ninol and
sell it on a guarantee of money
back if it does not benefit the user.
Though we can't expect all to
be cured, yet, strange to say, out
of every one hundred bottles sold,
less than two per cent proved
unsatisfactory. In other words,
ninety-eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value many of
them of very great value.
We want to say that if you are
rundown, weak, too thin, ailing,
with bad stomach, poor appetite,
cough, nervousness, that we think
Vinol will help you. eat any rate,
it will cost nothing to try it.
You can have your money back il
you say it doesn't help you. Vinol
has pleasant taste, and is recon.
mended by physicians as safe
