IMPORTANT TAX DECISION.

The decision of the United States
supreme court requiring the Chicago
Theological seminary to pay taxes on
all its property not used directly 70
educational purposes, marks distinc
advance in equitable taxation. Fair
play as between man and man and cor
poration and corporation demands that
all income producing property, no mat
ter by whom owned, shall be upon the
assessors books and compelled to bear
its fair share of the burden ofmaintain-
ing government. Chicago Record
Herald.
The decision is sound policy as well
as good law.
Colleges and churches are so liberal
ly endowed nowadays that they own a
vast amount of income-b bearing prop
erty which is not related to their work
or equipment in the remotest degree.
1t is simply means of Investment
for revenue.
The exemptions under the several
State constitutions were not intended
to cover such investments, but only
the buildings, grounds and equipment
actually in use for instruction or wor
ship.

Letters from
Women

Cured by the use of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body, 1t is because the juices Sc
GREETED by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrientprop-
critics of the food into blood. That is
indigestion. The system is deprived of the
amount of nourishment required to keep up
the strength, and the result is that one or
more of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally it is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The
best doctors in the land make this very
mistake. Why should they7 1t is so easy

Ter far from the fold and entirely out
Of hearing of the bell wether. We
weep copiously when we think how
presiding elders and deacons
have tasted it, only to be refreshed and
to taste it again. The sons of temper
ance are unit in favor of Peruna, be-
cause it does not conflict with their
lodge obligations and at the same time
fills in most satisfactory manner
long-fe1t want. There is not prohl-
bition state in the country in which
Peruna can not be found IN all the
drug stores, and where the demand for
it is very large and constantly growing.
This is due to the fact that it cures the
deep purple thirst more speedily than
it does the catarrh, and more people
seem to be afflicted with the thirst all
ment than the catarrh Again, there
are a great many people living in ''dry
towns" who, by reason of the dryness,
suffer from weak nerves, and Peruna is
the only remedy which the druggist is
able to recommend that will afford the
desired relief, and we are forced to adj
NIT that it never misses a shot. This
statement is made advisedly, because
several years ago we fingered with ade
voted friend and bottle of Peruna one
evening in a country town which was
operated entirely by preachers who ha(
recommended Peruna as the only safe
household medicine. That occasion
will ever remain bright yet painful
spot in our mind. The hilarity ex
ceeded three days, and the headache
two weeks, hence we can talk learnedly
of the virtues of Peruna, as our distin
guished correspondent ''Evangelica

shows quite clearly that he knows b.

CHAPTER ON INsIDIous PERuNA.

A few days ago the States published
an editorial containing comments more
or less hghtsome on the rude invasion
which the exhilarating beverage known
as Peruna has made in the prohibition
district of Mississippi and North Lou
isiana, where failure to attend church
with punctilious regularity is crime,
and to be discovered with a flask of
Pixies Magnolia in your clothes means
Punishment from the community. We
are gratifed to note that the editorial
referred to has produced an echo in
the form of the following letter from a
very frank and truthful minister of the
gospel who in some way has managed
to get ga straight line on Peruna and
who is well acquainted, evidently, with
its ingredients and its potency. The
minister says:
ga friend having called my attention
to your recent editorial entitled ''The
Peruniac Curse, I wish to express my
qualification at the stand which you,
together with the Lafayette Gazette
and Ruston Leader, have taken to ex-
pose this disguised 1ntoxicant. I have
been fighting this form of liquor for
some time, both in public discourse and
private endeavor. The saddest feature
to me is the endorsement given to Pc
runa and kindred remedies" by prom
inent men, especially ministers of the
Gospel, who are thus, unconsciously
perhaps, aiding the infamous liquor
traffic and contributing to the great
tide of intemperance.
''Peruna contains from go to IS per
cent of alcohol, and is far more intoxi-
eating than wine, beer or whisky. So
it is with all the so-called "tonics. +"
They are composed chiefly of alcohol,
and the unsuspecting victim, allured
by the recommendation of ministers
and the religious press which adver-
tises these intoxicants, acquires the al
cohol habit before he is aware of it. /
have been told by druggist that wo-
men buy these ''tonics" because of their
stimulating effects. tits so much more
respectable to get tipsy on Peruna than
on plain old Bourbon or rye.
Gust here let me also utter warn
ing against narcotics like ''Mrs. Wins
lows's Soothing Syrup, which is COM
posed principally of opium. Helpless
infants and children are dosed with
these vile decoctions, and thus are
trained up to become alcohol and drug
fiends. What an awful responsibility
rests upon those who, by example and
precept, are thus aiding the devil in
his dirty work!
81 did not expect the secular press to
cry out against this evil, and hence [
am all the more gratifed that it has the
courage to do SO. .
GAN EVANGELICAL MINISTER"
We quite agree with our correspond
ent, that it is most reprehensible 70
ministers of the gospel and the rell-
gious press to recommend to their
brother and sister mortals such pow
erful jag producing extract as Peruna,
and claim that it is nerve tonic and a
sure cure for catarrh. How MANY
quiet "nips" of Peruna have been tax
en- in the sanctum ofreligious weeklies
we cannot say, but we do know that
many an humble follower of the
Lamb" likes it very much and that it
has caused thousands of them to wan
