Court Holds Hotel Man Is Not Liable
for Paving Tax on Second
South Property.

Judge Morse has rendered an important
decision in the district court in which he
holds that A. Fred Wey is not liable
for the sl2 a foot paying tax assessed
by the city against 66l2 feet Of property
owned by him on East Second South be
tween State and Second East streets.
The property was formerly owned by
the board of education and after the no.
tice Of intention to pave the street had
been passed and the assessment made, il
was sold TO Mr.. Wey. The board of edu-
cation is exempt from paying special as
sessments on its property, but after the
sale the city endeavored to make Mr..
Wey pay.
Judge Morse is of the opinion that as
the property was transferred after the as
sessment was made and as that assess
ment did not apply TO the property at
the time the city cannot make ii apply
now.
The city is enjoined by the decision
from attempting in any manner to collect
the amount due.

NEWSPAPER FOR
RHEUMATICS

Rheumatism being such a uni
versal complaint, il is hardly to be
wondered at that there exists a
paper entirely for the benefit Of
rheumatic sufferers.
This one is published in Ger
many. and in il rheumatic patients
discuss their symptoms and tell
of anything that has proved a re-
lief to their sufferings. while med
ical men contribute articles on the
different phases. symptoms and
species of rheumatism, and the
progress which the cure of rheu-
matism is steadily making. For
instance. Gaut, a noted German,
advocates the chewing of food
from twenty TO thirty times before
a single bite is swallowed and the
abstentiOn OF drink at meal times,
but plenty OF pure water or a mild
portion of beer two hours after
eating. In all eases the kidneys
should have a tonic composed of
One-half ounce fluid extract hun
chm, one ounce compound fluid
balnwort and two ounces COM
pound syrup Of sarsaparilla. mixed
in ii bottle and to be taken one
teaspOonful after each meal and
one when retiring. This simple
formula, which any local druggist
can fill has excited more favora-
bic comment than anything ever
published in this unique paper.
Originally intended for kidney suf-
ferers it has more than surprised
all by its effectiveness in rheu-
matism.

REMEDY FOR TORN MATING.
Darn with colors Of Raffia to Match
Straw.

Often in moving a heavy piece Of,
furniture the mating on the foor will
have an ugly hole torn in it, The torn
place is usually where it is the most
noticeable and cannot be covered with
A rug. There is an excellent way 10
remedy this defect by darning the
place with raffia of colors TO match the
mating straw. 1t is much better than
threads and the work can be neatly
done. II may be necessary to run
heavy cords across the work through
which the raffia is to be woven. The
threads are sewed in place with a large
darning needle. Torn places on the
edge of mating can be remedied in
the same manner 1t is best to sew
mating together with a loose stitch.
using very heavy linen thread for the
purpose. but where this cannot be
done then use the regular mating
lacks or ordinary tacks, placing first
one side, then the opposite side to pre-
vent the baggy appearance which $50
often occurs. Never use a claw ham
mer to lift tacks from mating. since it
invariably breaks the straw. Get an
old blunt chisel, place it beneath the
mating and tack head pound/ gently
with the hammer and pry the tack up
This will draw the tack out straight
and leave the mating unbroken. III
mating is used in a room during the
winter, cover the floor with paper COW
ering and pad lightly with newspapers
The cold air cannot penetrate a floor
covering of that kind.
