work develops.
The commission gave out figures
from widely scattered counties, many
of them rural, from 1925 individual
returns of property For 1914 the to
tai is $12,792, ,6O3, as against $685. ,24l
for 1918. The average increase is
$500 on the first reports, but the com
mission expects substantial increase
as the wealthier districts are reached

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES THE REASON

The fact that there is less dyspepsi and
indigestion in this community than there
used to be is largely, we believe, due to
the extensive use of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, hundreds of packages of which
we have sold. No wonder we have faith
in them No wonder we are. willing to
offer them to you for trial entirely at our
risk.
Among other things, they contain pep
sin and bismuth, two of the greatest di-
gestive aids known to medical science.
They soothe the inhamed stomach, allay
pain, check heartburn and distress, and
tend to quickly resrore the stomach to its
natural, comfortable, healty state.
There is no red tape about our guaran-
tee. 1t means just what it says. We II
ask you no questions Your word IS
enough for us: If Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets don't restore your stomach to
health, and make your digestion easy
and comfortable, we want you to come
back for your money. They are sold
only at the 1000 Rexall Stores, and in
this town only by us. Three sizes, 25c,
SOC, and O0.-Nungester Drug Co.,

Declare at the Public Hearing That
Money Was Collected Of Employees
For the Purpose Of Maintaining the
Democratic Press Bureau and That
All Contributions Were Made Vol
untarlly-The Officials Examined.
Columbus, o., March 5.-While the
state civil service commission is con
ducting a public investigation Of al
legged violations Of the state civil ser
vice law, Prosecutor Turner is con
ducting a secret grand jury inyestiga
ton Of the same charges. The former
inquiry looks toward recommendation
for dismissal from Office, while the
latter looks toward criminal prosecu
tion as we'll as dismissal
That there is an Investigation by
the state civil service commission
also, was made possible by modilica'
ton of the injunction obtained by
Prosecutor Turner preventing the
commission from conducting a probe
The injunction, as modified by judge
Rogers, permits an investigation inso'
far as Il does not interfere with the
grand Jury probe. When there Is a
question Of conflict. the civil service
commission is compelled to yield 10
Prosecutor Turner and the grand
jury.
While what is taking place in the
grand jury room, where Prosecutor
Turner is being aided by Attorney
General HOGAN, is kept secret, Demo.
cratic officials are telling the state
civil service commission, aided by At
torneys Frank A. Davis and James l.
Boulger Of the attorney generals of
fee, what contributions were made
by civil service employees and for
what purposes they were made.
Democratic state officials and EN-.
ployes who testified before the civil
service commission declared that the
press bureau for which civil service
employees contributed money is not
connected in any way with the Demo
cratic party They ALLEGED II is en-.
tirely distinct and maintained solely
for the purpose of exploiting the work
Of various state departments and the
merit of laws passed by the general
assembly. They also declared ii is
nonpolitical.
Absolute denial also was made OF
any collections Of money being made
from state employees to support any
cause other than the press bureau.
Denial also was made Of any coercion
or coaxing or intimidation of civil
service employees to obtain this
money. Every cent was given vol
UNFAIRLY" was the one statement
made by all.
Through State Superintendent Of
Banks Emery Lattanner foundation
was laid for the inquiry along TIE
line that contributions ALLEGED to
have been solicited were solely for
the Democratic press bureau. Wheth-
er Prosecutor Turner's and Attorney
General Hogan's efforts before the
grand jury will be able to reveal con
tributions for any other purpose is
awaited anxiously.
