Increase In Property Valuations

The proper records at the court
house show that for the year 1911
all the assessed property OF Sharp
county, both real and personal, is
on the tax books at $2,OSO,940.
This is an increase of $49,228 over
the assessment for 1910, when all
property was valued at $2,031,7l2.
The equalization board had moth
ing to do with this increase in the
assessment. The records show that
this board raised assessments to the
amount of $2,420, and lowered as
sessments to the amount OF 81, ,435
thus reducing the assessment in the
sum of SIS.

Eve Put Out During Fight

Last Sunday in lizard county,
near Love, during the progress OF a
fight George Qualls threw a rock at
Thomas Arnold, which missed the
intended mark and, striking the
wheel of a wagon, glanced and
struck Houston Qualls in the face,
entirely putting out his right eye.

To the Editor OF The Times: l. for
one, am glad TO note that The Times
has not been swept of its feet by
the prominent heralding OF the fake
municipal ownership" franchise that
Mayor Thompson proposes 10 give the
Detroit United railway. With the
adoption. of the proposed new fran
chise the enemies of the great eco

would renew their activity TO thwart
any attempt 10 make the purchase
clause in the proposed franchise oper-
alive.
Your editorial OF Tuesday. hits the
bull's-eye OF sensible opposition TO the
tentative agreement between mayor
and company. Should the agreement
be ratified by the voters, the jam
ming and packing OF passengers will
become even more pronounced than
ever ii that is possible.
Surely We should insist upon first
gaining for the city the power TO own

ECZEMA GONE, BOILS CURED

"My son was about three weeks old
when l noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in few days became solid
scab. l became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. BY the end
of that time, he seemed no better. l
became discouraged, and as had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast we're decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which 1 cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time
dropped the Doctors treatment, l used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head mass of silky curls.
had been afraid that he would never
be well, and feel that 1 owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies"

ENLIST AID OF, CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear In
the Fight Against Tuber-
culosis.

Just how serious a problem tubercu-
losis is to the average church, and in
Just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
Of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with its plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 30. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands Of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number Of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
In the country for his use in connec-
ton with tuberculosis day. Millions
Of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national Office
and from the headquarters of the $50
anti-tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate in the movement.
