Of the deal because he has no backing
or influence. If I should go before the
board of examiners and ask for read
justment, would be asked IL would
be willing to sell the property at the
assessed valuation. That question seems
to leave little or no room for further
argument, and a fellow will slip away
and go home and think that he Is
fortunate that they didn't get his hide.
OF course when a man wishes to sell
his property he wants to make some
thing by SO doing. He wants to at
least get interest on his entire invest
ment, taxes included. If, however, he
is compelled to sell, it is not at all
unlikely that he will have to accept a
price that is equal to barely two-thirds
of the assessed valuation. IL his valua-
ton has been placed at a figure in ex-
cess of the actual cost as in this case
Taxes are too high. Don't increase
them. My mother does not pay much
more than one-half the amount of tax
on a $6.50o-o0 farm in the state OF Mis-
souri, than I pay on an investment OF
H,475.00 in Topeka. Kan. Besides, as
stated before, I am paying interest on
the largest part of my investment.
Instead Of increasing taxes, let us
send out the advertising word that
taxes have been reduced, that Topeka
is city of homes. and that We are
curtailing the issuance of any addi-
tional bonds, until some of the present
Indebtedness is wiped out.
I am for the best interests of To-
peka. A TAXPAYER.

THAW IS BANKRUPT.
He Has Been So Declared Officially by
the Referee.

Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. Hilary X.
Thaw was formally adjudged bank
rupt at II o'clock today by Referee IN
Bankruptcy w. r. Blair. This action
was a surprise to those interested In
the case as United States Commission
err william T. Lindsay had set Aug
ust IL, as the date for the adjudica-
ton. No explanation Of the change
of plans and this mornings action has
been made, but it is believed here
that Receiver Roger O'Mara's visit to
Thaw at Poughkeepsie yesterday may
have had something to do with the
move. O'Mara was hurriedly sum-
moned by Thaw on Monday. No hear
ing was held previous to the entering
of the formal order of adjudication
and Referee Blair has not announced
the date of the first meeting of Thaw's
creditors. Under the law this must be
held not sooner than ten days and
within 80 DAYS. Referee Blair will
probably announce the date for the
meeting of creditors tomorrow.
An effort will be made to bring
Thaw to Pittsburg for the first meet
ing of creditors and unless District At
torney w. T. Jerome of New York, is
able to prevent his coming, 1t is be-
Iieyed Thaw will be in Pittsburg with
in 80 days.
Thaw's petition in bankruptcy was
filed August 7, and Roger O'Mara was
named as receiver. The petition sets
forth that Thaw's liabilities are $685.
14043 and his assets $12S, 012.3S.

Alabama Marvels at Big Increase in
Kansas Valuation.

Alabama wants to know what sort of
a miracle" has been wrought in Kan
sas that its assessed valuation should
be raised from 425 millions of dollars
to over two billions. A letter from w.
r. Lloyd, the secretary of the Alabama
tax commission, asks that copies Of all
blanks used, all reports, and anything
else of value in carrying out the Kan
sas system of assessment be sent to
him. The Kansas tax commission
complied with his request. The Ala
bama man says:
1T notice that the newspapers are
giving your commission credit with
having performed what would be
termed in this state miracle that
is YOU have Increased the tax values
from four hundred and twenty-five
million to over two billion of dollars.
II is wonderful and 1 want to know
what means were employed to succeed
in accomplishing 1t. Please take the
trouble to give me all the data you
have at hand"

TOWN IS BROKE"
Can't Get Enough Oats to Feed Its
Fire Horses.

New York. Aug. 12.-The financial
situation in West New York, N. j., is
desperate. The town cannot even get
a bag of oats to feed it's team of fire
horses. Joseph Smith, the engine
driver, had to borrow yesterdays sup
ply from a teamster friend who likes
horses too well to see them go hungry.
The police have. not been paid for a
month, and school teachers and jani-
tors have not been paid for two months.
Bankers are clamoring for their inter-
est on bonds. loans and Improvement
certificates, and contractors are call
ing for money also.
On top Of all this the members Of
the board of education are under in
dictment, and Justice Swayze has or
dered a summary investigation Of the
towns affairs, and property owners
have asked the courts to review the
action OF the council in confirming the
assessment commissioners report on
$1,000 lateral sewer, and the chancery
court has tied up the assessment and
bond funds which the town still has.
1t may lose the team of horses which
it cannot feed for 1t has not paid the
nine hundred dollars they were to cost.

ALMOST A SHADOW
Gained 90 Pounds on Grape-Nuts

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest 1t. 1t is not
really food to the system until 1t Is
absorbed. A Yorkstate woman says:
IT had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as I then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after eat
ing.
IT lost flesh until I was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First I dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although / had little faith 1t would do
me any good.
But I continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person in every
way. 1 feel as If life had truly begun
anew fo- me.

moderation, suffer no Ill effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while 9TH

I have been able to do it myself all
alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and a piece Of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and

Japan Is Making Great Preparations
for Coming of Our Fleet.

Toxic Aug MISUNDERSTANDING the
fact that this is the vacation period at
the departmental offices of the govern
ment the staff at the navy depart
ment is already busily engaged in pre-
pairing a programme for the reception
of the American Atlantic battleship
feet which is due to arrive in japanese
waters October II. The reception Will
undoubtedly be conducted on grand
scale and the chief difficulty now APP
pears to be to keep the programme
within the bounds demanded by the
limited time the war vessels will re-
main here. Continual changes in the
details of the plans are necessary be-
cause of this. 1t is estimated that the
welcome to be accorded the American
feet by the Japanese will cost S5OO,OOO
Every officer and man of the visitors
will be presented with a souvenir of
the occasion, these to be made of sill
yer.
Admiral Viscount Ito, chief of the
naval general staff who won fame at
the battle of the Yalu, in an interview
granted to the Associated Press today
said:
THE coming of the great American
fleet to Japan is one Of the most strik-
ing events of our history. We must
extend to 1t our most sincere welcome
aside from the social features or
this visit the coming of the fleet viii
closer to each other and 1t Will like
wise prove of the greatest benefit to
both the American and Japan navies.
The cruising of this magnificent fleet
and the enormous distance it has COW
cred is unprecedented in the history of
the worlds navies.
within our harbor will be gathered
a fleet of war vessels representing
fully 100000 tons and consisting of
ships of the most powerful and most
modern types.
THE coming of the American fleet is
at our invitation and while 1t is i'm
possible to receive II with the entire
Japanese navy, as many vessels as
are available should be assembled to
pay our respects to the visitors"
Continuing Admiral Ito referred to
the reports that have reached Japan
from Europe, which say that the
American sailors of the fleet objected
to coming to Japanese waters and
contemplated an organized strike as a
protest against the proposed visit Ad-
miral Ito said that these reports
should not be credited here, because 1t
is extremely doubtful that the Ameri-
can blue Jackets would be likely to ac.
like striking workmen. But even II
these reports were true, he said Jap
anese sailors should not criticize the
Americans on that account as it is i'm
possible to judge the west by the
standards of the east.

is the fact that the property is not half
