ABOUT THE STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
ARE HELD TO Be TAXABLE
Memberships In Exchanges Declared
to Be Personal Property by the
State Supreme Court.

Memberships in the Duluth board
Of trade and Minneapolis chamber of
commerce are held taxable in a deci.
sion by the state supreme court. This
settles continued agitation of several
months in the two cities and is OF
great Importance to the hundreds OF
members.
This is the first time in the United
States that such a decision has been
given. Tho appellant in the case, s.
A. McPhail, member of the Duluth
board Of trade, asserted that all de.
cisions had been against taxing such
property. The court holds that this
statement is too broad, that the the
DRY of such decisions has not been
against taxation, but admits that mem.
berships in trade organizations never
have been taxed.
The only question to consider, the
court says, is whether memberships
are personal property. In this con-
nection it holds they can be bought
and sold. have recognized fluctuating
value, are accepted by banks as col.
lateral and can be transferred by will
or descent. The Duluth memberships
are found to have been worth $4,000,
and applying all these tests the court
finds memberships are personal prop.
erty and therefore taxable.

Continued Dropping Of Mucous
into NV Throat.

A severe cough IS always a grave
symptom. It may not indicate or
kanic disease Of the lungs. Even
though the cough is :. functional dis
turbance 1t is Of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping Of mucus from the
back part Of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to 1t. It
IS stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh Of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, Of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear. but the dropping Of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
