Corporation Tax Is Needed.-For the
first time in years city orders have
been refused by the city treasurer be
cause the funds on which the orders
were drawn are depleted. The city
treasurer refused 10 accept the orders.
but not till after some of the local
banks had cashed a number of or
ders. Cashiers OF the four banks held
a meeting and Mayor Olson was in
vited to attend. He explained that
the condition was due to the fact that
the corporation tax has not been re-
ceived by the city. When the an
nual budget for the city was made the
corporation tax was figured in it and
the library and city hospital were al
lowed their regular proportions. Both
institutions have used the amounts
set aside for them. Money has been
drawn from the miscellaneous FUND,
the mayor explained, to pay costs in
special assessment suits in the county
court, which costs should have been
paid from the special assessment fund.
The city proposes to transfer sum
of approximately $4,000 from the
special assessment fund to the miscel-
laneous fund. This amount, it is said,
together with the incoming taxes,
will be sufficient to take care of the
current expenses to the end of the
present fiscal year, which is April /.
The banks, however, have agreed to
cash to the orders issued by the city
council at the last regular session

How to Treat Eczema.

The old method OF treating eczema
and similar skin diseases as blood dis
orders is being rapidly superseded by
the new remedy, Cadum. This re-
markable compound is applied direct
to the affected parts. 1t destroys the
disease producing germs and begins
healing at once. The itching is re-
lieved the moment Cadum Is applied,
and stubborn cases frequently yield to
it's curative powers in short time.
Cadum contains an extract from the
tree Juniperus OXycedrus. which has a
soothing and healing effect when the
skin is irritated, iniiamed or diseased.

THE BENEFICENCE OF RAIN.

Kansas City Star: The real bene-
ficence of rain is appreciated in this
favored land only once or twice in a
generation, when a prolonged drouth
has parched the earth and threaten
ed the crops. But in countries of
scant rainfall men in all ages have
valued the gift of the clouds. Bibli-
cal literature is full of references
that may be read with a fuller I'M
Outstanding because of the wide
spread rains of the last few days in
the middle west.
In the book of Job, among the
great and unsearchable and marvel
Gus things attributed to God is the
sending of rain upon the earth and
water upon the fields. Beneficent
things are likened to the coming
rain. my doctrine" says Deuter-
onomy, shall drop as the rain, my
speech shall distill as the dew, as the
small rain upon the grass" The
same figure is used in the seventy
second Psalm: He shall come down
like rain upon the mown grass; as
as showers that water the earth. y
His going forth" Hosea says, lis
prepared as the morning; and He
shall come unto us as the min, as
the latter and the former rain unto
the earth"
Understandable too, in the light
of the drouth, is the use of the figure
of the empty clouds to signify dis
appointment. Repeatedly In the last
few weeks have men watched the
heavy clouds form, only to be dissi-
pated without precipitation. The
farmers of Palestine must have had
similar experiences. Whose boast
eth himself of a false gift" the He
brew proverb says, lis like clouds
and wind without rain
In times of excessive rain, when
the clouds darken the sky day after
day, people sometimes become i'm
patient over the continued down
pour. At such times they may well
recall the beauty of the first show
ers that broke the drouth of 1911

SHE CHALLENGES DEATH.
French Girl the Heroine of Aerial
Double Somersau!; in
Auto.

The sensational climax of the re-
markable program which the Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers shows
will present in DEBORAH, on Thurs
day, August oath is a double aerial
automobile somersault made by Mile
Marie Petrol, a young French wo-
man scarcely out of her teens. For
the uttermost extreme in daring the
act stands alone. 1t reaches the top
notch in the gamut of sensations and
drives all so-called thrillers of the
past to the graveyard of memory.
Automobiles that turn a single
somerSault are not uncommon. In
fact there was one instance where a
car turned one and one-half revolu-
lions in mid-air. 1t was loudly her.
aided as double somersault act and
for a long time passed as such. But
the act that is soon to be seen here
is the genuine simon-pure article
The car turns two complete and dis
tinct revolutions high above the
heads Of the audience while leaping
a fifty foot gap. 1t is the dreadful
momentum gained by a lightning
swift descent of slender incline
that sends the car into the air when
it strikes sharp curve at the abrupt
terminal of the track.
1t is a moment of awful suspense
to the audience and the nerviest are
glad when the feat is accomplished
in safety. One miscalcufation on the
part of the girl in the car would
mean instant and frightful death to
her.
Another wonderfully beautiful and
highly spectacular act is performed
by the Ty-Bell sisters, also from
France. They are known as the
Human Butterflies" because of
their fantastic costumes, which are
made to resemble the wings of the
butterfly. They go through their
sensational act while hanging by the
teeth to slender steel cords. These
two acts were engaged last winter
by the foreign agents of the show.
Nothing that any where nearly re-
sembles either of them was ever seen
in this country before this season.
They are the two most costly acts
ever exploited in America.
