lowing to say about the remedy:
This, we think, is golden oppor-
tunity, when we consider the terrible
effects of tobacco and cigarettes on
the mental and physical condition of
our boys. We sincerely hope that
every parent and every member of the
W. G. T. U. of Topeka will urge the
boys of this city to take advantage of
this free offer. We are in a position
to know that this remedy will do what
is claimed for It," Miss Mary Dobbs,
state corresponding secretary of the
w. G. T. U. and the member of the
five unions of Wichita, made thor
ough investigation of the effects of
this remedy which was tried out on
400 boys, and found that it had done
all that was claimed for it, and have
not In any way injured the health of
the boys.
DR.. S. E. Schwartz, professor of
chemistry of Fairmount college and
city chemist of Wichita. has scien-
tifically tested this remedy and has
pronounced it absolutely effective and
He tested the effect
iveness of Tobacco Cleanse on a num-
ber of students who were addicted to-
the use of tobacco and after two
months test, voluntarily stated that

this city the free distribution which
will give all the young men and boys
of this community chance to rid

in the Democratic state platform

"Harry Jameson, Deputy Assessor
of Wauseon Village, filed his report
with the District Assessor Monday p
M, having finished his duties in the
forty days time allowed for the as.
sessment of both real and personal

The personal property assessed
amounts to approximately $756,00(
while the returns for last year show
$569, 1000, or gain of $4,000.
Moneys and credits listed for 1914
are approximately $472,000, while the
same items for 1918 show after the
Board of Equalization and County Au-
ditor made all additions, but $267, ,000

This does not include at least $780,
900 that is to be returned under the
above items by persons who are out
of the village at present and who an
nually make returns in the village of
Wauseon for taxation. They will
make their return direct to the Dis
trict Assessor.
This is only starter of the work
being done under the Warnes law and
illustrations of this nature are found
throughout the state.'
If gain Of s187,000 in the tax
value of the personal property and a
gain of n per cent in the tax value
