Taxes In Dry Towns ". Taxes In Wet
Towns.

EprroR RneIsTER-In comparing
towns OF about our size In the State Of
Ohio az to the local tar rate, the claim
made by the saloon interests, that You
will increase your local taxes IL you vote
cut ths saloon" 10 proved to BE- falss.
Jamestown, Green county. 1,a0S pep
ulstion, NO saloons, e.A mills on the
$lO0 tax rate.
Yellow Springs, Green county, l,s7l
population, . saloons, 50 mills on the
500 tax rate.
An increase of one-third in the tax
rate against the saloon.
Another comparison Chardon, Gea-
uga county, 1890 population, no saloons,
Q. mills tar rate.
Loudenvills, Ashland county, 1851
population, 8 saloons, Is mills tax rate.
This parison is also against the
saloon, unless we believe in paying taxes
Just to see the saloon.
The tax question, from the saloon
point OF view, is all farce. The sa-
loon interests cannot point TO town
where the tax rate has been increased
by closing the saloon.
These comparisons show the average
taxpayer the very reason why county
after county in Ohio has been lately
adopting the Rose law closing the saloon.

for West Virginia towns =? Why not for

GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS.
Bald Headed People May Get a New Chance
In Life.

In these days when youth is the
moving factor in business when a
man makes his mark at thirty-fve and
is ready to retire at forty.6ve; when
business houses pension the man we
call middle aged" rather than allow
his tagging influence to intrude upon
the commercial rush, bald head is
almost fatal to any mans hopes.
The following therefore must prove
interesting to people who are losing
their hair or who are bald.
Resorcin is one of the latest and
most effective germ killers discovered
by science, and in connection with Be.
ia Napthol, which is both germicidal
and antiseptic, combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair of it's nutriment, and also ere.
ates a clean and healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the devel.
opment of new germs.
Pilocarpin is well known agent
for restoring the hair to its natural
color, where loss of color has been
due to disease of the scalp. Yet, it
is not coloring matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as a stimulsnt perfects
the most effective remedy for hair and
scalp troubles.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Ton.
ic is chiefly composed of Resorcin,
Beta Nspthol and Pilocarpin. 1t
makes the scalp healthy, nourishes the
hair, stimulates the tollicles. Where
the head is already bare, it enters the
follicles, revitalizes the roots, supplies
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.
We want you to try a few bottles Of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic on our person
al guarantee that the trial will not
cost you penny if it does not give
you absolute satisfaction. That's
proof of our faith in this remedy and
it should irdisputably demonstrate
that we know what we are talking
about when we say that Re1all "93"
Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald
heads, except of course, where bald
ness has been Of such long duration
that the roots Of the hair are entirely
dead, the follicles closed and grown
over, and the scalp is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been &C.
complished by the use of Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it has done to hun.
dreds of others it will do for you. In
any event you cannot lose anything
by giving it trial on our liberal guar
autee. Reinhart's Pharmacy, Shep-

In Five Minutes.

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Cas-
tritis or Catarrh Of Stomach; it
doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your Phar.
macist and ask him to open 50.cent
case Of Pape Diapspsin and let you
eat one 22.grain Trisngule and see if
within FIVE minutes there is any trace
of your stomach misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is Food Fermentation-food souring ;
the Digestive organs become weak,
there is lack of gastric juice your food
is only half digested, and you become
affected with loss Of appetite, pressure
and fullness after eating, vomiting,
nausea. heartburn, gripping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach. bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain in
limbs, sleeplessness, belching Of gas,
biliousuess, sick headache, nervousness,
dizziness and many other similar
symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth.
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies on your stomach, you can
make up your mind that at the bot.
tom of all this there is but one cause
fermentation of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any: that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation aud
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter Of how
soon you take little Diapepsin.

DURING the past week or two Pc
titions signed by large numbers Of
Democrats from this county, as well
as other counties in this senatorial
district, have been forwarded to SEN
stor Silver and Senator McIutire, urg-
ing them to vote for the bill submit
ting to the people constitutional
amendment forbidding the sale or
manufacture of liquor in this State.
The Anti. Saloon League ofShepherds-
Town, representing some two hundred
members, on Monday night passed
resolutions urging the Senators to vote
for the submission of such measure.
We do not see how our Senators can
in honor turn down these petitions.
When thousands of voters who have
supported them at the polls ask the
privilege of voting upon the greatest
moral question OF the times, it is worse
than ingratitude torefuse. 1t is more
than hlgh-banded to deny their con-
stituents an opportunity to express
themselves upon SO great an issue, and
the people will be grossly insulted if
their petitions are turned down.

The project to build the trolley road

are urging the trolley company to

lie considering the matter.
In the circuit court at Martinsburg

and George Murphy were convicted of
whitecapping an aged woman near
Hedgesville last fall, and each was
sentenced to two years in the peni-
tertiary.
The handsome new Y. M. @. A.
building in Martinsburg, recently
completed at cost of some $42, 600,
was formally opened last Friday night
with appropriate ceremonies. The
building and its equipment is a splen.

thoughtfulness Of the people of Mar

The other morning W. N. Lemen,

In the circuit court at Martinsburg
last week, in the case Of the Hannis
Distilling Company against the County
COURT Of Berkeley County, Judge
Faulkner decided in favor of the coun-
ty court. The county claimed 81 1000
taxes due fol- the year 1907 on % 600
barrels of whiskey valued at $l76, 900,
assessable property. The Hannis PEG.
pie will likely appeal from the de-
cision. This is the third case Of the
same nature, the other two being for
taxes for 1905 and 1906. The county
court won both from the distilling
company and got 81, 200.
There is prospect Of large crop OF

who constructed the piers, say that
they had finished their work. which

Steel Company says that the bridge
went down because of faulty concrete
and that the pier must be repaired so
that it can finish up its iron work and
get what is coming to it. The bridge
company holds on to the money and
declines to pay the contractors until
it gets its bridge. The contractors
say that the engineer employed by
the bridge company is to blame for
the whole trouble and that they are
not responsible. So there you have
