Revenues,

The increase of valuation as shown by the clerks statement, for 1909. over the past year, will justify your body in reducing the tax rate for County General Purposes, all al there fore recommend a rate not in excess of an amount which will give sutfi- cient revenue to run your county gov ernment.
 recommend the Three Mill Road Tax which in my judgment. as is now being used returns more value to all the people save the School Tax, than any ether tax collected.
 want to commend the justices, who. without exceptions, have tried, honestly to hold the fees char@eahlt against the county i'll their court to q legitimate basis.
 Your attention is called to the fact that We spent more money last year than our resources, which, if kept up, would be dangerous condition.
 First We spent approximately $20,000 on the river bank.
 Second. We spent on the river bank so.000. Total $25,000, which We will not have for the ensuing year, and our roads and bridges being in the best general condition they have ever been the expense on this line will be naturally reduced, and we ought to be on cash basis with our county war rants within a period of twelve months. But l do not want to be un- derstood as advocating the plan of neglecting either the roads or bridges of the county to accomplish this end
 cannot close this report without calling your attention to the alarming increase in the expense of your county poor house and jail, the two combined taking neary one-third of the County General Revenue.

The Orioiin of Boz

The origin of Boz is known to most readers interested in Dickens A younger brother of the novelist was known in the family circle as Moses. ill tlcetiouS alusion to one of the char acters ill the Vicar of Wakefeld.' and this being pronounced ill fun through the nose became "Boses" and so Boz" which Dickens adopted as his early pen name. Boz he once wrote twas very familiar household word to me long before l was an au- thor, and so l came to adopt it.
 Before the real name of Boz be- came well known somebody invented and circulated the following smart epi- gram:
 Who the Dickens Boz could be Puzzled many a curious elf Till time unveiled the mystery And Boz appeared as Dickens self.
 Hood wrote punningly, but ungra m- matically:

STOMACH DISTRESS
 AND DYSPEPSIA GO

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of lndi- gestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy?
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort and overcome sour, sassy stomach five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 30-cent cases of Pape $ Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach. Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as Belchins of Gas, Eructations of SCOUT undigested food, Nausea, Headaches Dizziness, Constipation and other sto- mach disorders
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common everyday cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case Of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer
 This, no doubt, is a serious mistake Your real trouble is, what you eat does , not digest; instead. it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which putrefy in the digestive tract and intestines. and, besides. poi son the breath with nauseous odors. hearty appetite, with thorough dis comfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

The balancing Of flyer may seem,
at first thought, to be a very simple
matter, yet almost every experimenter
had found in this the one point which
he could not satisfactorily master.
Many different methods were tried.
Some experimenters placed the center
of gravity far below the wings. in the
belief that the weight would naturally
seek to remain at the lowest point It
was true that. like the pendulum. It
tended to seek the lowest point; but.
also. like the pendulum, It tended to
oscillate in q manner destructive to all
stability.
A more satisfactory system. espe-
cially for lateral balance. was that Of
arranging the wings in the shape Of a
broad V, to form a dihedral angle,
with the center low and the wing-tips
elevated. In theory this was an auto
matte system. but In practice It had
two serious defects: First, It tended to
keep the machine oscillating; and sec
ond. its usefulness was restricted to
calm air.-Century Magazine.
