/" INCURABLE" HEART DISEASE
SOON CURED.

During the last two or three years
very great Improvement has been made
in the treatment of diseases of the
heart. Cases formerly considered In
durable now rapidly yield to new rem
edies. The well-known specialist.
Franklin Miles, M. D., LII. B., will
send $3.75 worth of his new Special
Treatment free to our afflicted readers.
This liberal offer is for the purpose
of demonstrating the unusual curative
powers of his new Treatment for heart
troubles, such as short breath, pain in
the side, oppression in the chest, irreg-
ular pulse, palpitation, SmOthering
spells, putting of the ankles or dropsy.
They are the result of twenty-five
years of careful study, extensive re-
search, and remarkable experience in
treating diseases of the heart, stomach,
liver, kidneys and nerves, which often
complicate each case.
The Treatments are prepared ex-
pressly for each patient, as the result
is very much more certain and salts.
factory.
Few physicians have such confidence
in their remedies. And there is no rea-
son why all afflicted persons should
not avail themselves Of this liberal of
fer. No death comes more suddenly
than that from heart disease. Thou
sands die unnecessarily each year be-
cause most physicians do not under-
stand their cases.

Providence, r. |.

A gentleman on the lookout for a
place of residence found two sites, the
natural advantages of which attracted
his favorable attention. One Of these
sites was located in town, which for
the purpose of this story. we shall
designate as "A"; the other in another
town, which we shall call "B.''
On inquiry the gentleman learned
that neither site was for sale, but
either could be had on lease. The rent
demanded by the owner of the site in
"a" was one hundred dollars per year;
that by the owner OF the site in "B"
was two hundred and fifty dollars per
year.
On learning from the owner of the
site in "B" the amount of rent de-
manded, the gentleman demonstrated,
saying: why, that Is out of all rea-
son: can hire just as good site in
A for one hundred dollars year"
Certainly you can,'' the owner re-
piled, But il you build house there
and it catches fire, 1t will burn down;
they have no fire department. IL you
go out after dark you are liable to be
held up and robbed; they have no po-
lice force. II you ride out In the spring
your carriage will sink in mud up to
the hubs. and II you walk you may
break your legs. and you will be lucky
IL YOU don't break your neck; they
have no street pavements. and their
sidewalks are dangerously out of re-
pair. When the moon doesn't shine
the streets are In darkness. for they
have no street lights. The water you
need for your house you must get from
well. for there Is NO water supply
there.
Now. In our town IL is different.
We have splendid ire department
and police force equal Ia the best
anywhere. our streets are paved and
lighted by electricity. We have a
water system that equals that az

lie services IN this town are unsur-
passed. II N the best governed town

BRIEF PARAGRAPHS FOR BUSY
MEN.

The single tax is the name OF sys-
tenn of taxation proposed by Henry
George.
The proposition is simply to increase
the tax we now levy upon the value OF
land until it absorbs the entire rental
value.
AS this tax would be sufficient for all
public expenses all other taxes would
be abolished.
This tax would be just; for the value
of land is produced by the presence and
industry of the people as whole, and
not by any individual.
This tax would be equitable; each
would then contribute to the expenses
of government and public improve
ments according to the benefits re-
ceived, and not. as now, according to
what he produced or what he con-
sumed.
1t would be the most practicable.
Land lies out Of doors and its value is
known to all or can be easily ascer-
tanned
This tax could be most easily and
cheaply collected Land can not be
hidden or carried away.
1t would remove the premium that is
placed upon dishonesty and perjury
that is now apparent in false state
ments to our assessors.
By removing the tax upon the prod
ucts of labor IL would encourage indus
try.
As the single tax is tax on land
, 10. 70
only on valuable land and land which
had no value would become absolutely
free.
AS the principal part of land values
are represented in locations in great
trade centers and the franchises OF
railway telegraph. telephone, gas and
water companies, the principal portion
of the single tax would fall upon the
owners OF such locations and fran
chises.
| The farmer and the working man
would pay less taxes than they now
pay. for the reason that they own the
smaller portion OF land values.
Those who own NO land values would
pay NO tax. except In the rent OF the
land that they use; they pay this rent
now. they would pay less then. for The
reason that vast quantities of unused
farm. timber and mineral land and clty
lots would enter into competition With
land Ia use.
The single tax IL not proposed mere
~ as d just and equitable system ol
taxation, but aa means by which land
monopoly will be destroyed and natural
Iopporiuuities will be made accessible
to labor.
