Heart Failure

Of the many deaths from heart failure very few realize in advance the seriousness of their condition. When the heart shows a weakness, such as palpitation, short breath, pain in chest and in side, it needs attention just as much as other organs do when they fail to do their work well. For any condition of heart trouble you can rely on
 Dr. Miles Heart Remedy. It will strengthen and regulate the heart action, and enable it to over come the strain upon its weakened condition.
 q had heart trouble. My son in- duced me to try Dr. Miles Heart Rem edy. I took in all four bottles for complete cure"
 MRS. M. l.. MARVIN, Marion, Ind
 The first bottle will benefit; if not, your druggist will return your money.

has ever proven anything else but a success.
 What means the tax commis- sion will employ to get about ac- complaining the equalization of taxation is not altogether known, but in the first place a hard pull is going to be made to secure just enlistment through the as- sessor, who is now on his annual round in the various counties of the state. The "riot act" is be- ing read in a mild way to those who have been disposed to dodge their just proportion of taxes and after assessment is over a rec ord investigation may be made in each county and it is not un- likely that indictments for per- jury may follow.
 This is the year for the listing of real estate. Each land owner will be asked to place anew his figures on the value of his lands, and there never was nor never will be a more opportune time for the people of Carroll county to get their figures and con- sciences right on this matter than at this assessment.
 There has been more perjury committed over this question of values in the listing of property for taxation than anything that ever happened, all to the detri- ment of the moral standard of our people, of good government and of righteousness before God. Try listing your property at actual value for one time and zee if you do not enjoy better health, conscience and prosperity during the coming year, than ever be- fore,

Liver Trouble
 Remedy Free

Any intelligent person can be his own doctor ill the ordinary case of liver trouble, for the symptoms can not be mistaken. If the white of the eye becomes yellowish, if the skin be- comes sallow, ii pinplcs and blotchcs appear, if the bowels do not move, if you have sick headache, if you are bilious, you may be sure that your liver is torpid or inactive.
 The quickest and surest remedy yet found for the cure of liver trouble or any of its symptoms is Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup This wonderful remedy is not only laxa- tive, but a tonic as well. It will start the flow of gastric juice, thereby soon enabling the liver to do it's work natur- ally. A bottle of this great liver remedy can. be bought of any druggist for 50 cents or s1, and in many cases single bottle has cured a chronic case.
 For example, John w. Lee, 619 s. Penn sylvania ave, Indianapolis, Ind, had a stubborn and very long standing. case of jaundice etc. and it cured him. Mrs B. rlinchum, Jackson, Ky, says the same # it. Thousands of families keep it in the house against just such an emer- gency, as you can never tell when some member of the family will need a good
 In order to have you or any other suf- fcrer from the liver make a test of Dr. ~aldwelPs Syrup Pepsin without personal expense, Dr. Caldwell will send you free md address. The sample will show you now. pleasant 1t is to take, how gently it works. It will start you on the cure of your trouble and convince you that you have found cure. That is the object of the sample, and the doctor urges you to

TIME TABLE M. & N A. R. R,
Who Pays the Tax?

It is quite an interesting study to look over the tax collectors books, and it also fills one with ire, as facts and figures there disclose the honest poor paying the bulk of the taxes, Here is one man, renter, that toll in an official and professional capacity early and late and life has meted out but mea- ger competence, yet he pays personal tax of $10.70. Here are four others right near by, all owners of fine town property and the possessors of many broad acres, with money out at interest t and houses, we know, as we'll furnished as money can furnish them, and here are the personal taxes they pay; $i.72, $2.26, S2.58, $4.31; total S10.S7, CT the whole four pay 17 cents more than the first man mentioned. Now this is the grossest injustice that figures could well disclose, and it is only specimen of hundreds of others of the same kind. The man on the railroad working for a dollar day and boarding himself &C., tually pays more personal property tax than the man who treads his Brussels carpets, poises on sofa of velvet at- tired in a silken gown, living on the interests of his thousands; and this is certainly clue as to how the rich be- come richer and the poor become poor CT, and it does seem as though it ought to be otherwise, and that there ought to be remedy, but it has ever been thus, yet there is no reason that it should { thus be in this age of reform, &-9 as for the remedy tha t matter is open for discussion.
 The above came into the pos session of The Tribune by the scissors route. It may or may not represent the condition here in Carroll county. We are in- clined to think these proportion al differences do not exist here, but it is lamentably true that the tax business has never been justly apportioned and the small property owners carry the heavy end of the tax burden, generally speaking. To remedy this evil a board to be known as the tax commission has been created in Arkansas for the purpose of de- vising ways and means for as- sessing all property at it's actual value, real estate and every thing. It is figured out that not only will tax be capitalized be- tween the rich and the poor, but that the rate of taxation may be largely decreased on account of the increase realized in the amount of assessment.
 There is no need for a change in the law to meet this condition. The law is all right upon the subject. It is the enforcement of it that is at fault, and the req son it is not enforced better is that the question of values as to personal properties is left solely to the owner whose conscience often becomes very elastic when dealing with this particular sub- ject, realizing, as he does, that many other people are engaged in playing the same game. In real estate, the owner is not sworn, but his values have been subject to change by a so-called equalization board, whose work
