Brains Food Eonsense.

Another ridiculuos food fad has
been branded by the most compa-

food is sneeded for brain. another for

a particular part Of the body, but
it will sustain every other part. Yet
however good your food may be,
its nutriment is destroyed by indi-

Republican FinanciednQ

A Aspringheld, ILL.,, dispatch, dated
December "a, says
"The State Board ofEqhaliEation
completed its work yesterday and
The state tar rate can be computed.
"The probabilities are that the
rate will be 80 cents on The 500
assessed valuation, against 40 cents
last year. Several years ago the
rate went as low as S7l cents. Not
withslanding that the total assess
ment ofall property in the state is
S62,OOO,O0O greater than last year,
II will require q 20 per cent increase
In the tax rate to raise the amount
necessary for state purposes.
"This condition Of affairs Is pres
ent in the face Of more than a mill,
ion dollas added to the states rev
cnue last year by the payment o.
Illinois war claim by the federal
government. This money went
into the regular channel ofthe state
moneys and has been used.
"At this time the state isrunning
very close and orders have been is
sued TO every officer and depart
ment TO turn over to the state treas
urer by January |, all fees on hand.
This money will be imperatively
needed.
II is stated that all the sources Of
revenue Of the state treasury, inclu-
ding the war claim, viii not be suf-
fieient to pay all expenses for the
year 1908. To meet all the expenI
ses of 1908 it will be necessary tol
raise the state tax rate as well as
the total assessed value Of all prop
erty in the state"
And yet there are people in Mis-
souri, who %ant-they say-to re-
form the democratic method of
taking care of the states finances,
and those people--let us remind
you.-vote the republican ticket
early and often, just like they do
across the river in ElynOis.

THE OLDEST MILL.

Probably one of the Oldest and
the most primitive mills erected by
the early settlers ofthis county was
located one mile and a half north
of Sedgewickville, and was erected
at the foot of q hill known as
Pounding hill which took its name
from the mill, as it was a pounding
mill.
The mill was probably erected
some time in the latter part Of the
seventeenth or the early part Of the
eighteenth century and is said to
have been the property Of John
Hahs.
At the foot of the hill mentioned
a strong spring gushes out and sup
piled the power for this mill, which
was erected so that a trough, tasten-
ed near the center to q fork, would
drop at the upper end to receive
the water, the weight of which after
nassing the center, would cause The
lower end to drop down; at the
lower end of the trough wooden
maui had been fastened and the
maui dropped into s wooden vessel !
hewn out somewhat in the shape Of !
an ordinary kettle. When the maui
~ lower end of the trough dropped
down the water was dumped out
and the other end dropped down
and caught another supply. In this
vay it Is said to have pounded hall
