one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-

heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails Of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course of time THAI
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

HIS N2cGE. i3n.

A story is told that illustrates
Lord Miners energy and capacity
for work. A young officer on his
staff, who was hoping to obtain
leave, had to postpone his applica-
ton in order to accompany his chief
on his recent tour through the
Transvaal. On the return to Pre-
toria, after a fortnight which seemed
to the officer the hardest labor he
had ever endured, he thought he had
fairly earned a holiday and accord
ingly asked for his long deferred
leave. Lord Miner looked at him
and said: Leave! What has the
last fortnight been except leave?"

last year, and that instead there
of they are at least one third
higher, can he not see that our
taxes are at least two thirds
higher than they should be,
more than double of a lawful
rate! 1.-The can't see that he had
better study his Arithmetic be-
fore he ventures to teach it to
others. And instead of making
others understand the facts of
the tax situation" he had better
try to understand it himself.
Taxing railroad property high
er would not reduce our taxes
any. This has been proven by
the additional amounts of money
that have flowed into the city
treasury from the improvements
made during the last fiscal year.
So how can higher assessments
of railroad property help us any
as long as the tax-rate remains
the same? Plain and self evident
as this is, itappears to be beyond
DR.. Tibbott's apprehension.
Let me call his attention to an.
other point. There is no ques-
ton that at least 100000 will be
collected over and above the city's
needs, seing that the difference
between this and last years ap-
preparations is paid by the two
additional saloons, because two
thirds of the amount raised this
year covered the $23,OOO.0O ap-
preparations last year. This
year they are only 100000 more,
so that all the money raised over
and above last year there is abso-
lutely no use for and must a.
mount to at least $5,0O0.OO, as
stated. Now if this amount was
to be allowed to remain in the
city treasury no serious objec-
tons would, perhaps, be raised,
though it is unlawful to collect
more taxes than are needed. But
not one dollar of it will remain in
the city treasury. The council,
or those who have the handling
of the surplus, will see that every
dollar of it is used up.
Now don't stand aghast and
accuse me that this is but anoth-
err inuendo and insinuation. l
have my authority for the above
statement from every one who
has defended the city officials
course.
The report has been diligently
circulated that no more money is
being raised than the city needs.
That means of course, lift means
anything, that every dollar will
be used up. Now if the people
who labor under this impression
have been misinformed then
must the council look to them as
being responsible for this false
report. If, on the other hand, it
can be proved, as l believe it can,
that the councilmen themselves
have made the staten ent that no
more money will be raised than
is needed, then they have already
planned what to do with the sur
plus of $5,OO0.OO. But solar they
have failed to inform the taxpay-
ers for what purpose the excess
in the treasury is to be used.
Now If D. Tibbott can explain
why $25,000.00 deducted from
100000 will not leave one dol
lar he is a wonderful mathema-
tician. But his harangue about
taxing railroad property without
reducing the tax rate shows that
he doesn't understand the situa-
ton any better than the man in
the moon.
In conclusion, and to para
phrase his own words, I would
suggest to him as he did to 9TH
ers, namely; IF he fails to see
these points he had better, as a
