HER FEET WERE

So|es Seemed as Though Covered

Weight Of Feet Even on Pillow

Remedies Failed Now Cured.
WILL PRAISE CUTICURA
AS LONG AS SHE LIVES

Some four years ago I had the mis-
fortune to have my feet get sore. The
doctors could not tell me what it was.
used everything could hear or think
OF but all to no avail. The feet were
all cracked across the bottom as if YOU
mad taken a knife and cut them every
whichway:. They would peel up, and.
oh, my! how they did hurt when /
would try to walk - which 1 was not
able to do for a long time. One dav
one OF our neighbors came to our house
and asked what was the matter. I
showed him my feet and he said he had
some Cuticura Ointment which would
heal them up. There was only enough
to apply once, but l found it helped
me so much that I sent for a set of
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and
to my great joy, my feet were cured
and have never troubled me since. l
shall praise Cuticura as long as l live
for the great help it has been. Mrs.

Spend Your Holt.
day Vacation at
Paso Robes

If complete rest and most perfect
conditions imaginable for nature cure
are what you need spend your holi-
days at Paso Robles Hot Springs, Cal
ifornia. A week or two, and even a few
days there will accomplish more in
the way of restored energy than a
much longer period and more expen-
Sive treatment elsewhere, because
good cid Mother Nature is nurse and
physician.
Paso Robes is taking the same rank
in America and enjoying the same
fame for wonderful cures that Carls-
bad and Baden Baden do in Europe.
The hotel is a marvel of comfort and
luxury, and the bath house built by
the city free to all, is said to be one
of the best in the world. It is a stub
born ailment and a hopeless condition
of physical breakdown that the min
eral waters and hot mud baths of Paso
Robes will not heal in a short time.
Call on r. Burns, Dist. Pass. Agent,
0. r. & n. Co, for descriptive book
lets of Paso Robes, and he will also
tell you al labout rates.

Switchboard
Contest is ON

Interest in the SWITCHBOARD contest
at the Y. NJ. C. a. is getting tense, and
the board is being used at every posi-
BILE moment by players WHO are con-
testing to have their names VT ten
on the beautiful silver loving cup that
is offered for the prize.
Twelve teams are entered and each
team has to play best two out of three
with every other team. This wiz make
long and hard fought contest, ard as
it narrOWs interest W II grow kee 1er.
Switchboard is played on
rather table, about "a feet long and %
inches wide, around the edge of the
table IS depression or trench, four
inches deep and four inches wide This
leaves a raised portion in the center
OF the table that is Is inches wide and
% feet long. This is covered w tn can
vas its full length. SIX inches from
the end of the raised, or playing sur
faces, is line marked.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-01-01

Either two or four players may par
ticipate. Each has four weights, which
take the form of discs, and are about
four inches in diameter and three
quarters of an inch in thickness.
These are thrown, Or showed, to the
opposite end, the object being to get
ones own weights as near as possible
to the end and to get ones opponents
weights knocked off. After each side
throws its four weights, count is made.
Each weight inside the six inch ne
counts two for the side to which it
belongs. A weight hanging over the
edge counts three. If no weight is in
side the six-inch line, the side having
the nearest to that line gets one
score. The game is for Fl points.
When singles are played, the play
ers throw all the weights from one end
and then walk down to the other and
throw them back. In doubles, part
ners stand at opposite ends of the
table.
Much skill can be developed IN
playing the game. Getting the weights
near the end of the board, BLOCKING"
or protecting them, and shooting Off
opponents weights, allows for much
skill and luck is a small factor in
the game.

TAXATION OF FRANCHISES.

A decision Just handed down by the
New York court OF Appeals determines
the contested issue in that state
in favor OF the taxation OF public
franchises
uenceforth the great public service
corporations must pay FOR the eN-
ceptonal rights OF franchise which
they enjoy. and must also pay special
franchise taxes that have been ae-
cumulating since the passage Of the
law In 1901. The amount Of the de-
linquent taxes is s27.00O,oO0 in New
York city aud $4,000 600 more in
the state az large
The case has been IN the courts
ever since the passage Of the law
Il has long since been determined
that franchise Is property and, as
such. Is taxable under the law. Fran
chises are said TO be In the greater
centers OF population. not unfrequent-
Is worth more than tine physical valua-
ton Of the property OF some Of the
franchise corporations and 1t would
seem only fair TO tax them like other

The points decided In the New York
case are DD whether assessments OF
special franchises of corporations. IN
Guiding tangible property ia the streets
and highways and the right to use
streets. where to be eaualized with To-
cal assessments made by assessing Of
ficer IN the same locality. Upon this
polnt the court holds that the Ap-
pellate Division was right in allowing
special franchises 70 be equalized TO
correspond with the rate Of assessment
adopted by the locality.
The second and principal question
was whether the Court could properly
set aside an assessment made by the
state board because IL did not CORES

earnings rule. The return made by
the state commissioners. the court
holds. should disclose the method by

The courts may also, under this rul.
