BILLBOARDS FOR DOCTORS
Advertising Man Makes Unique Sug-
gestiOn to Kickers.

Aberdeen, April 9.-The Chehalis
County Medical society has informed
the newspapers that it's members
have agreed to discontinue the in
sertion of all professional cards in
the Aberdeen World, Grays Harbor
Post and Aberdeen Herald, for the
reason that they accepted and pub
lished advertisements exploiting
medical fakirs and quacks.'
The World editorially protests
against the ruling, claiming that
newspapers have a right to sell adj
vertising space ''just as the doctor
his services or the merchant his
wares, to whoever applies"
An advertising bureau, quick to
take advantage of the situation, has
sent the following letter to the pro-
testing physicians:
Understanding that you have de-
cided to discontinue the use of the
local papers for advertising pur-
poses, l find great pleasure in offer
ing for your consideration the use
of my billboards in various portions
of Grays Harbor. / will quote you
special prices for this occasion, ow-
ing to the fact that l am always in
competition with the newspapers.
I'm case you find that / have over
looked any of the doctors by not
sending them a letter, refer them to
me at your next meeting"

Rheumatism.

More than nine out of every ten
cases of rheumatism are simply rheu-
matism of the muscles, due to cold
or damp weather or chronic rheuma-
tism. In such cases no internal treat
ment is required. The free applica-
ton of Chamberlain Liniment is all
that is needed, and it is certain to
give quick relief. Give it trial and
see for yourself how quickly it re-
lieves the pain and soreness. Price
25 cents; large size, so cents. Sold
by all druggists.

NEW WAR CRAFT Is
LIKE A MONITOR
WILL BE BUILT LOW AND HAVE
NO UPPER WORKS LIKE PRES
ORMOUS HORSEPOWER AND
SPEED.

Washington, D. c., April "a to-
tally different battleship-thisi is the
battleship of the future.
It will be long and rakish and
Iowa many thousand horsepower
vessel, of 10000 or 10000 or 10000
sand tons displacement.
Six revolving turrets, carrying the
heaviest guns, and arranged in steps,
the highest in the middle-these
will be the only parts OF the new
warship visible above the gunwale.
Already our navy has done away
with the old-time fighting masts, as
they were called, and the plans of
naval experts contemplate the rapid
substitution of light wire-woven
towers, which in their appearance
suggest an inverted waste basket.
These have been tried and found
adequate for all uses served by the
| fighting tops and military masts,
whose small caliber guns were found
| in the JapaneSe-RusSian war to be
entirely useless and whose heavy
metal work was so much more tar
get for the missiles of the enemy.
The admiral's bridge and the wood
work of the pilot house have also
been condemned as superfuities.
The great stride ahead which has
been adopted by Great Britain is
the installation in their newest type
of Dreadnaught of what amounts to
gas engine. This type of engine,
perfected in the United States, has
been adopted by foreign countries
for their torpedo boats and small de-
stroyers. So backward, however,
are we in our naval construction that
we have not even kept pace with
foreign nations in this Improvement.
1t comes, however, as surprise to
all the world-or it will when it is
heard-that the enormous 10000
ton Dreadnaught battleships of
Great Britain are to have engines of
this sort.
According to the well authenti-
Gated information here coal is still
the fuel of the British Dreadnaught,
but instead of heating steam for en-
gines of the ordinary type, the coal
itself IS heated AMI the gas produced
is run into cylinders, where it is ex-
ploded, just as the gas from gasoline
by it's explosion furnishes power to
run the automobile. In a word, the
principle of the petrol engine and of
the perfected power which has come
into general use with the development
of our automobile, is to be applied on
an enormous scale to the latest en-
gines of naval war.
The modern Dreadnaught is ship
with six turrets, built in terrace ia
shion. That is to say, No. l turret
at the bow is enough lower than No.
2 turret so that No. can swing
it's guns and shoot over No. 1. No.
8 can shoot over No. 2. No. is high
enough to shoot over No. and is
able to train it's guns and shoot over
No. 6. The higher turrets are in the
center of the ship and they slope down
at either end.

Object to Strong Medicines.

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in
any case of muscular or chronic rheu-
matism, and more than nine out of
every ten cases of the disease are of
one or the other of these varieties.
When there is no fever and little (if
any swelling, you may know that it
is only necessary to apply Chamber

SELL PROPERTY

COUNTY TREASURER BATTLES
WILL GET AFTER THOSE WHO
DO NOT PAY TAXES.-LAW
GIVES AUTHORITY.

If the personal property taxes
which became delinquent on March 5
are not paid within reasonable time
those owing them will find some of
their property taken by the county
treasurer and sold to satisfy the
claims. County Treasurer Battles in
tends to clean up the delinquent tax
list this year, and he will follow the
law in the collection of these taxes.
Sending Out Notices.
The county treasurer is now send
ing out the second notices to those
who are delinquent in their personal
property taxes. A reasonable time
will be allowed, and it is hoped by
the treasurer that in this time all will
come in and pay the taxes due. How
ever, if all are not paid, the treasurer
will get busy, distasteful as the task
of forcing collection is. He has no
choice under the law. He will visit
each delinquent and seize such per-
sonal property as he finds convenient
and of sufficient value to cover the
amount of taxes due. This property
will then be sold and the proceeds
applied to the amount due.
The provision of the law under
which the county treasurer will act is
as follows:
"On and after the first Monday OF
February succeeding the levy of taxes
the county treasurer shall proceed to
collect all personal taxes. He shall
give notice by mail to all persons
charged with personal property taxes
and il such taxes are not paid within
80 days after said notice, he shall dis
train sufficient goods and chattels be-
longing to the person charged with
such taxes, If found within the county
to pay the same, together with all &C
cruing costs, with interest, and shall
Immediately proceed to advertise the
same by posting written notice thereof
in which such property is levied
upon, stating the time when and
place where such property will be
sold, and III the taxes lOT WulCH SuCH
property is distrained, and the costs
which accrue thereon, are not paid
before the date appointed for such
sale, which shall not be less than ten
days after the taking of such prop
I erty, such treasurer shall proceed to
sell at public auction or so much
thereof as will be sufficient to pay
such taxes with interest and costs
and If there be any overplus of money
arising from the sale of any person
= al property, the treasurer shall imme'
diately pay any such overplus to the
owner of the property so sold or his
legal representatives; provided, that
if any personal property upon which
the taxes have been levied but moi
paid, is about to be removed from
the county, where the same has been
assessed, the county treasurer may
demand such taxes without notice
provided for in this section, and II
necessary, may distrain and sell suf-
ficient goods and chattels to pay the
same"
