DON'T NEGLECT A COLD.
Neglected Colds lead to CONSUMPTION.
How consunption DeveLOps.

Nine casesof consumption out o. zen

Aperson catches cold. The cold - not
properly cured, and another cold Is
caught.

Then another cold Is caught md

The cold CONTINUES TO develop and 1ae

Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient Is in the hrst
stages Of consumption.
II was just in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught cold, and not considering
it serious, neglected it, thinking rs
many Others do, thatit would "wearoff-"
However, it chung to her tenaciouslJs

Fortunately, Peruna had been brought
to her notice, and she took course OF
this remedy before 1t was too late.
in a week the cough and cold were
broken, and three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Nota day, and probably not an
hour passes In which some one docs not

will not wholly prevent casualties Of a
more or less serious character.
That casualties are to be looked for
as a matter of course is Significantly
indicated by the announcement that the
Director of the Department of Health
will issue instructions for the treatment
of lock jaw, with warning against the
useof the toy pistol. Why use the TOW
pistol? 1t is not possible to prevent the
small boy-and other boys who are not
small-from exploding his patriotism on
this glorious day, but there are other
things quite as noisy as the toy pistol
and not as dangerous by any means.
Why not direct the youthful patriot to-
ward these and away from the toy piz-
toll and lockjaw and death?
Probably the toy pistol cannot be
wholly suppressed. Its use can be con
sidera bly, restricted. however. The Wig
lance and care of parents will do more
to save the lives and limbs of their
Cn1lnfen tndn all the warnings the mu-
nicipal authorities can give. There is
no disposition to interfere with a pa
triotic and reasonable celebration of In
dependence Day. noisy though it may
be, but there should he rule Of COM
mon sense. There are some danger in
almost every kind of fireworks. but the
toy pistol is a steady reaper Of young
life. 1T is well enough known to be
feared. 1t should be avoided as dead
ly thing.
Parents and others who have the cara
of children should appreciate their re-
spOnsiblity in this matter. il IS pos
sible for them to take the toy pistol
out of business almost completely. and
great many of those who fail to do it
will have reason to regret it when the

The Lockwood Taxation Case.

The city Of Watcrville. in 1908. as
ScSSed Il tax valuation on the Lock
wood cotton mill of $S41,12S The
Company appealed from the decision
of the aSSeSSorS to the county COM
niiSSioncrS. and claimed that. while
this sum represented fair market
value Of the cotton mill property at
that time. an abatement should be
given because other property in
Waterville was assessed on only so per
cent of its fair market value and there
was no reason why tn" Lockwood
Company should be taxed Oh 100 per
cent. of its fair market value when
other property was only taxed on 50
per cent. Of its fair market value The
county commissioners have just
rendered their decision, and sustain
the claim of the Company. ana have
ordered an abatement of 20 per cent
on the lockwood taxes The Water
vile assessors, this year. have placed
the same valuation on the Lockwood
Company. but have rcmcdied the in
equality by raising the tax valuation of
other property holders in Wat"rville
