MAKES BaCKAcHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
a Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness.
Kidney Trouble and Rheu.
matism Promptly Vanish

Il is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backachinp. kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tism. stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-
cry, Croxone, quickly and surely re-
leyes all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. It is entirely
different from all other remedies. It
Is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
clple OF cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
sponge. neutralizes, dissolves, and
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs ciean,
strong. healthy and well.
It matters not how long you have
suffered. how old you are, or what
you have used. the very principle of
Croxone is such. that it is practically
impossible to take il into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. It
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides, or have any signs of
kidney. bladder troubles, or rheuma-
tism. such as puffy swellings under
the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if
you are nervous. tired, and run down,
or bothered with urinary disorders,
Croxone will quickly relieve you of
your misery. You can secure an orig
inal package of Croxone at trifling
cost from any frst-class druggist.
All druggists are authorized to per-
sonally return the purchase price if it
fails in single case.

To Adopt 2.8 Mil Levy.

Therefore levy of 2.S mills was
determined upon. 1t will be officially
adopted probably today. It is believed
that there has been 40 error in the
figures which would overthrow the
present plans of the council.
The members of tie council are
proud of the fact that they are able
to reduce the levy. 1t Is believed it
will bring general satisfaction about
the state.
The millage taxes provided by the
legislature are beyond the power Of
the state council to adjust. Acting on
the orders of the legislature the
same mi!lage taxes will be levied as
last year. .~.

Local Politicians Take Issue.

Some Of the FOCAL politicians, how
ever, are bit inclined to question
the validity Of the decision made by
Secretary Allen after he had first
made the statement that the nomina-
tons by the convention were invalid.
They think that the candidates whose
names appeared on the ballots should
have been the candidates. Or else
that the candidates who seem to have
withdrawn should have made known
their Withdrawals before the conven-
ton, rather than at the time they are
supposed to have done SO.

The text OF Secretary Aliens decis.
ion received this morning follows:
"The records OF this department
show that while there were no nomi-
nation papers fled by the progressive
party for these Offices in your county,
there were scattering votes cast for
W. H. Grimwood for senator and
Peter G. Hitch, Jr., for representative,
sufficient to nominate these gentle
men for these respective places. A
certificate was accordingly issued to
each OF said candidates by the state
canvassing board, showing his nomi-
nation as stated. Neither Of the gen.
tlemen named has ever filed in this
department any statement, or other
writing, legally ithdrawing his name
from consideration as such candidate.
Learn Of Withdrawal.

showing in writing, signed by John
l.. Benbow. as chairman, and Peter G.

ton as its candidate for state repre-
sentative, and there has been pre-
scented to this Office at the same time,
like showing to the effect that w.

Executive Council Agrees to Reduce
Assessment one-Tenth Mill for
1914 According to the
Dispatches.
WILL BE 100000 LESS
Errors Can be Corrected and Action
Is Expected to Influence
Local Tax
Boards.

DIES MONIES, July 30.-The state
executive council yesterday after
noon agreed upon a reduction Of one
tenth mill in the state levy for 1914
Definite action was delyaed until to
day, owing to the absence Of one
member Of the council.
The one-tenth mill reduction based
upon the present assessed valuations
represents nearly 100000 in revenue
which the state will get along with
out next year. The levy for 1913 was
2.9 mills. The levy for 1914 will be
2.8 mills.
The lowering of the levy is in line
with the policy adopted by tie pres.
ent executive council to tighten the
burden of taxation.
Chance to Correct Mistakes.
The states action is expected to
have powerful effect on the city
township and county boards in induc,
ing them to lower their levies There
was bitter complaint in every county
last year that the local taxing boards
when tie valuations were increased
At this time all of the mistakes #
last year in taxation may be cor.
rected, and the state officials hope
that the administrative officials will
take action to that effect
The executive council began ses.
sions as board of review the second
week in this month. The assessments
of the railroads, telephone, express
companies and telegraph companies
were revised.
Few Changes Made.
Aside from a reduction of 20 per
cent in valuations on express prop
erty. no changes were made. The
personal property assessments show
good increases, and the new buildings
and Improvements added $24,60O,000
more The members of the council
figured closely on the tax levy and it
was tentatively decided several days
ago that the 1914 tax levy for general
state expenses would remain the
same as last year.
But yesterday the council assem-
b1ed and began figuring all over
again. They arrived at the conclu-
sion that it will be possible to drop
one-tenth mill from the levy and
still have sufficient revenue to carry
on the work of the state government
next year.
