INDIGESTION.

This trouble usually arises from
disordered liver. If you will
arouse the liver to throw off the
effete accumulations through the
proper channels, you will soon feel
better, your appetite will improve,
and the whole man will be more
wide-awake and healthy. For this
purpose St. Toseph's Liver Regu-
lator is a fine remedy. Try it and
be convinced of its wonderful efl-
cacy. Druggists and general mer-
chants sell it, liquid, SO cents 9

HELPFUL HINTS OE HAIR HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by CareIessness.

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also
produces badness. Never use a
comb 70 brush belonging to some
one else. No matter how cleanly
the owner may be, these articles
may be infected with microbes,
which will infect your scalp. 1t Is
far easier to catch hair microbes
than it is to get rid of them, and a
single stroke Of an infected comb
or brush may we'll lead to bald
ness. Never try on anybody else's
hat. Many hat-band is resting
place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled
with dandruff, itching scalp, falling
hair or badness, we have a reme-
dy which we believe will complete
ly relieve these troubles. We are
so sure Of this that we offer 1t to
you with the understanding that it
will cost you nothing for the trial
if it does not produce the results
we claim. This remedy is called
-Rexaiiii 4ssas.1 Hair Tonic. We soif--
estly believe it to be the most sci
entiic remedy for scalp and hair
troubles, and we know of nothing
else that equals it for effectiveness,
because of the results it has pro-
duced in thousands of cases.
Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic is de-
vised to Danish dandrnff, restore
natural color when its loss has been
brought about by disease, and
make the hair naturally silky, soft
and glossy. 1t does this because
ii stimulates the hair follicles, de-
stroys the germ matter, and brings
about free. healthy circulation of
blood, which nourishes the hair
roots, causing them to tighten, and
grow new hair. We want every
body who has any trouble with hair
or scalp to know that we think that
Rexall "o3" Hair Tonic is the best
hair tonic and restorative in exist
ence, and no one should scoff at or
doubt this statement until they
have put our claims to fair test,
with the understanding that they
pay us nothing for the remedy if 1t
does not give full and complete
satisfaction in every particular.
Two sizes so cents and $I.oo.

The reason the loss at the plant
appears SO heavy is because it has
been thought proper to charge off
S., ,o68,24 of the value. of the plant
to depreciation account, leaving
the net book yaiue $4,000. This
was done for several reasons; one,
because there has been no depre-
citation charged off the plant since
the books were opened as of date
January Ist, 1907; another, be-
cause nearly every business in our
town or county, due to the pre-
vailing conditions, is bound to
have declined in value since 1907.
And then, too, the receipts from
light and water have decreased in
amount a great deal. We expect,
in order to get our books in the
proper shape, to divide the value
of the plant under the following
headings, giving each department
a separate monetary value, the ess.
innate to be made by the superin-
tendent of the plant and the chair
man of the E. L. & w. w. COM
mittee, viz:
Real Estate.
Buildings.
Machinery.
Reservoir and Elevated Tank.
Wells.
Lines and Mains.
Tools.
And possibly some other divis-
ions which have not yet been sug-
gested. When this has been done
the public will be furnished with
the figures.
OF course the citizens will IN
derstand that the bad showing on
the statement is caused by the
amount charged off to deprecia-
tion. In reality the town was in
better financial condition at the
date of this statement than it was
on October 1st, 1910, for the reas-
on that $ao2o OF the outstanding
bond debt was retired, and besides
we had a few hundred dollars more
in the bank.
In justice to the superintendent
of the plant will say that, as far as
lies in his power, he keeps up the
physical condition of the plant
we'll, and that we believe the plant
is in as good and perhaps better
physical condition than it was on
January Ist, 1907.
Respectfully Submitted,
