Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned DAYS of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world a remedy for their Pc
cullar ills, more potent and effiea-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:<
Souplet0 RESTORATION 10 health
means 30 much to me that for the sake
OF other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
aO L fn Mru I'LL In f,- l..
1 followed 1t. and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkhan's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

PROPERTY EXEMPT
From Taxation
70 The Assessor


The Legislature of 1907 amended sec
ton 81 of the Assessment Laws by pro-
yiding that the following property
shall he exempt from taxation:
"Ali personal property on hand to
be used in the subsistence Of live stock
on hand a the commencement of the
assessment year, and dead vietuals laid
away for family use"
We are asked for construction Of
this clause. The Supreme Court Of
West Virginia in the case of the Ches
apeake & Ohio Railway Com pauy VS..
Miller, Auditor, 10 w Va, 400, held
that.
"The clear meaning of sectioh one
ar icle eight of the Constitution OF
1868, is that all property both real ana
personal, shall be taxed, except such
as thes Legislature may exempt unaer
the exception contained i'll said sec
ton"
This doctrine was approved In the
case of the State ex rel Miller. Audi
tor, vs.. Buchonan, "a w. Va. 362.
The property named in the CoRsti-
tuition that may be exempted from
taxation is:
"rroperty used for educational, lit
erary, scientific, religious or charitable
purposes; all cemeteries and public
property"
The provisions of section one of ar
tlcle ten Of the Constitution of 1872
(the present Constitution) are the
same as found in the Constitution ef
1868, except that" are odd
ca 20 the list of property that the Leg
islature may exempt from taxation,
with some additional power relative 10
taking privileges and franchises OF ecr-
porations.
Applying the decisions Of the SUI
| IRENE Court to the Constitution it is
plain that the Legislature can exempt
no property from taxation except such
as the Constitution provides msy be
Exempted. < ANY attempt of the Leg
lsialure to go beyond the Constitution

comprehended,under the item "house
