Soldiers property.

Des Moines, Feb. 3.-An interesting
question regarding taxation and the
soldiers exemption law was settled
yesterday by y. J. Lee, special counsel

An assessor asked how he should de-
termine which OF three classes OF prop

exemption of the law. OF curse, the
soldier wanted the tax applied to the
property on which the tax was highest.
Real property is assessed on the

of its actual value and moneys
and credits on a fat five mill basis.
Mr.. Lee ruled h pro rata plan

and unnecessary operations, write
to mo today.
I will send a special prescription
for your case, calling for the exact

scription calling for a patent medi-
cine or a cure ALL" not a prescrip-
ton good for your neighbor, but a
special prescription for your partic-

Why l Give Free Proof

don't claim to be a philanthropist. l
have no fortune to give away. I have
been remarkably successful for TWEEN
ty years. as a doctor and a specialist in
the diseases of women, but l am no yet
satisfied. I am anxious to extend my
practice. l want to be known all over
our country as authority on diseases
Of women. I want every suffering wo-
MAI to heal of my skill and success.
Fortunately l can now afford to prove
to the world that my claims are true
and I can afford to do 1t at my own
expense. That is why I offer to send
special prescriptions to a limited num-
Der of suffering m in each COM
munity.
The prescription that I will send you
would ordinarily cost you from IS to
se5. It may be worth thousands. but 1
have paid for the knowledge and ex-
perience that enables me to write 1t,
years ago, and I can now AFFORD to take
the time and pay h expense neces-
sary to do this for you in order to ex-
tend my practice.
The secret of my success lies in the
fact that I treat each case separately
using the exact remedies needed In
that case. The prescription hat I VIII
send YOU will be valuable to you and
YOU only. It would probably be useless
in other cases. So You see that in CIV
ing Won a special prescription, I am not
des.roving my chances Of getting other
patients. On the contrary, II my pre-
scription cures you. I am sure you VIII
gladly recommend me to others.
