Kidney trouble and the ills it
breeds means lost time and lost pay
to many a working man. Nj. Bal
ent, 1914 Little Penna ST., Streator,
H., was so bad from kidney and
bladder trouble that he could not
work, but he says: Il took Foley
Kidney Pills for only a short time
and got entirely we'll and was soon
able to go back to work, and am
feeling we'll and healthier than be-
fore" Foley Kidney Pills are tonic
in action, quick in results-a good
friend to the working man or wo-
man who suffers from kidney ills.

abstract of fee book and not included in

abstract of fee book and not included in
settlement in April, 1911, hence this set
tlement shows excess of fees collected Of
S253.73, which we have corrected to
S4o3.73. Deducting the amount overpaid
for year 1908, viz, $50. 70, from the $I5o
item in the 1910 settlement, leaves bal
ance Of $129. 80 due the county from this
Office. We, therefore, suggest that an
order of this Court be made, directing the
County Clerk to pay into the County
Treasury this amount, $4,000.
"A careful examination of the school
fund bonds and mortgages shows that
these accounts have been carefully and
correctly kept.
We desire further to state that the
State account of current taxes with the
County Collector has not been kept in
complete form, and we recommend that
this account be kept and balanced annu-
ally as other accounts of the County Col
!ector.
In examining the Consolidated Back
Tax Book of IeI I, we find there are
great many tracts Of land showing taxes
delinquent for years 1904 and 1905.
These taxes were barred by the Statute
of Limitations at the time the Consoli-
dated Back-Tax Book for 1911 was made
up, and the Collector should not have
been charged with them.
We also find tracts of land on which
taxes are not marked paid on current
book Of 1910 which have not been shown
on the Consolidated Back-Tax Book Of
1911. These omissions, however, donot
II AI,<x fnx tN1 he
County Collector should be furnished
supplemental lists OF these tracts, and
collection enforced on such tracts.
We further suggest that the back-tax
books Of this county have been errone-
ously made up by failure to compute the
proper amount of interest on delinquent
taxes. Section II,4oT, r. S., 1909, pro-
vides that all taxes becoming delinquent
shall bear one pei. cent. interest per month
until paid, and interest at this rate should
be computed and charged on back-tax
book from the time they are delinquent
to the time of making up the back-tax
book. Ii seems that the practice has
been in making up back-tax books to
compute the interest on taxes becoming
delinquent on the Ist Of January previous
to the date Of making up the back-tax
book, and then in later years, if these same
taxes remained unpaid, the same amounts
we're brought forward to new back-tax
book, without computing any additional
interest.
Following the suggestion Of your hon
orable body, we have not prepared and
filed with you a complete statement OF the
| financial condition of the cotlntv AT the

Just a few words to those desir-

The bottom has fallen out of the
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 8 cents per yard, two coats,
and your sidewalks, the old style
with cheap John bottoms and
top one-half sand and one-half
cement for cents per square foot
or the better one for 10 cents
foot. That is, made all alike from
the top to the bottom, and no top
to scale off. Get a good one once
and you won't have to build again.
Cellars concreted very reasonable
and other kinds of mason work,
such as stone, brick or concrete
foundations, bung allows, chimneys
and cisterns, so any one can have
good one and anybody wanting
