A wOMAN'S COMPLEXION.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt to
remove sallowness or gresisness OF the
skin by the use of cosmetics, or
local" treatment as advocated by
the beauty doctors" The only safe
and sure way that . woman can i'm
prove her complexion is by purifying
and enriching the blood, which can
only be accomplished by keeping the
liver healthy and active. The liver is
the seat of disease and blood pollution.
Green's August Flower acts directly
on the liver, cleanses and enriches the
blood. purifies the complexion. 1t
also cures constipation, biliousness,
nervousness, and induces refreshing
sleep. A single bottle Of August
Flower has been known to cure the
most pronounced and distressing cases
of dyspepsia and indigestion. New
trial size bottle, rs cents; regular
size, 70 cents. At all druggists.

Railway Assessments.

An examination made by city officers OF
the assessment recently completed by the
Corporation Commission shows a sllgnt
reduction on railway tracks in Alexan-
drja citv. RI least it so appears to those
who have looked into the matter. For
many wears the State board Of public
works assessed the Southern Railway
with SO miles of track. This includes
the Washington & Ohio division. The
Corporation Commission find only .25,
or one quarter mileof track-other than
side track-on main line, and 81 or
about half mile on w. q 0. division,
which is now assessed at $l5, 900 per
mile as before, but the shrinkage IN
tracks makes an assessment OF 81, oI9,
when before it was 1927, $40, another loss
of $500 in our assessment or a loss OF
over $500 in revenue to the city. The
rolling stock of the Washington, Alex
andria aud Mount Vernon Railway which
M to 1898 was assessed in Alexandria
at $50. 900, and by order of the State
board of public works was moved to
Alexardria county, is still assessed
in that county, the Corporation Com
mission placing its value at s42, 40o.
Strange as it may appear the rolling
stock is charged in Alexandria county
and while the Corporation Commission
saws the principal Office is in Mount
Vernon, Fairfax county, the board OF
public works said Alexandria city was
the principal Office. One slice, small
one however, is handed us, an assessment
ofsl2, 400 on rolling stock ofthe Washing
ton Southern Railway is placed here, but
even this, to use an apt phrase. "has a
string to it." for it looks as if the COM
pany is disputing the right of the State
authorities to tax their rolling stock In
Virginia. If these things are true, and
they 80 appear, Alexandra suffers at
both ends and in the middle and Will
have cause to regret that there was any
such things as a constitutional convention
or corporation commission, especially
when we recall the fact OF overlarge
subscription to the Orange and Alexan-
dria and the Manassas Railroads. IDe
question is, What can we do, and VINO
Will do it?
