That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back.
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There Is no question about that
at all--for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con.
dltion OF the kidneys and bladder.
II Is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause OF the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms OF arrangement OF the
kidneys and bladder. There are
multitude OF well-known and un-
mistakable indications of q more or
less dangerous condition. Some OF
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassltude and weari-
ness. nervous irritability, heart ir.
regularity, NERVES on edge" sleep.
lessness and inability to secure
rest. scalding sensation and sedi-
ment In the urine. Inflammation OF
the bladder and passages, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills are an exceptionally merltorl.
GUS remedy for any and all affec-
tions or diseased conditions OF
these organs. These pills operate
directly and pfomptly--and their
beneficial results are at once felt.
They regulate. purify. and effec-
tually heal and restore the lid

still another. 1t is sometimes said by
those who put OH paying until the
eleventh hour, that there should be
more books and a larger force Of
clerks to handle the collections. But
this would not relieve the situation
inasmuch as many holding property
have it situated at different. parts of
the city and would be scattered in the
various books causing even greater
confusion than they now complain Of
Exempted Property.
Many Of those who own property
and for various causes are exempt by
law, have trouble with the assessment
of taxes against their properties that
might be easily avoided If they took
the matter up through the proper
channel and see to it that their prop
erty was marked exempt on the as
SCISSORS books. This branch of prop
erty owners is composed largely Of
widows, women and old soldiers The
latter are exempted to the extent of
$500 if their property valuation does
not exceed $1,000, but if it exceeds
that amount none is exempt.
Cannot Change Books.
The treasurer is not permitted to
make any correction on the taxes as
sessed nor can he make any changes
in the books other than correcting Of
errors in the additions of figures mada
by the auditor. The proper channel for
correction of wrong valuations, ETC.,
is the assessor If satisfaction can
not be had through him, then recourse
can be had to the board of equaliza-
ton, the city council, and board of SUI
peryisors. Errors are necessarily hard
to avoid in such large task as the

How to Pay Your Taxes.

How to Pay Your Taxes.
The early payment of taxes is the
prayer OF, Treasurer Curran. you see
the people Of the city are slow to pay
their taxes" said he, "and they leave
suit their is congestion and in order
to handle the crowd with some system
they are placed in line. AS the crowd
increases they complain about the
facilities for paying taxes and do not
stop to consider that if they paid their
taxes three months previously they
could dispatch the task in five min
utes, whereas they wait for three to
four hours in line taking their turn
at the window in the treasurers office
March 81, and wonder why" In order
to facilitate the task of paying your
taxes it is necessary that the prop
erty owner remember the location of
his or her property and when asking
the amount of the tax should state
whether it is city, farm or township
land. If city property, the description
of property should be given showing
the number of lot and its location to-
wit: Lot No. 2, block No. /, Smiths
second addition, or If farm land, the
section and township should be
stated"
Use Three Books.
The tax assessments are made up
in three separate books for the ac-
commodation of the property owners
and to facilitate the payment of taxes.
For instance resident of South OF
tumwa will have his property taxed in
one book while property owners hav-

rule of neglect does not apply to the
country people, for they know that
if they let the payment of their taxes
run until the last day, they might en-
counter bad weather and impossible

May Tax Receipts.
During the past year there were is
sued to the property owners of Wap-
clio county, 1854 tax receipts for the
year of 1907 and previous years for
which taxes had been due. $415,000
was the amount of money collected
during the year. December 7, 1908
there were sold for non-payment of
taxes, 296 pieces Of farm land and
town lots. When sold for taxes there
is eight per cent attached to the
property and eight per cent per annum
is assessed against the property until
redeemed. At the expiration of three
years, tax deed is given The pur-
chaser of the property.
Explanations Take Time.
The force in the treasurer's Office
consume about half of their time each
day answering questions that are ask
ed repeatedly each year prior to
April 1, and October 1. The telephone
plays no small part in these inquiries
and most of them come from persons
about the city. The most common ex.
preston heard within the precincts OF
the treasurer's Office is: Pardon me a

through the failure Of an exempted
person not insisting on their property
being placed as exempt in the as

OF real and personal property is to be
taken and the assessor with his army
of assistants will begin Tuesday

Banks Assist Patrons.

All of the banks Of the county have
secured tax lists for the accommoda-
ton OF their patrons who may learn
from their banker what their taxes are
whether they happen to be located in
the city or county. Many of these
institutions act as an agent for their
patrons and pay the taxes for them,
the treasurer mailing a receipt on the
payment of the taxes.
If you would avoid unnecessary an
onyance and a possible standing in liffs
at the treasurer's Office late in March
for two or three hours, it will behoove
Mr.. Property Owner to get busy now
and pay his or her taxes, thus saving
time. 1t is not necessary to pay but
one-half Of the taxes at this time and
one Is given until October /, to pay
the balance Of tax assessments for the

does not pay half of the taxes by April
