BAD DREAMS
Caused by Coffee.

and more nervous and irritable, and

was horribly disturbed by dreams of
all sorts and a species of distressing
nightmare.
Finally, after hearing the expert
ence of numbers of friends who had
quit coffee and were drinking Postum,
and learning of the great benefits they
had derived. concluded coffee must
be the cause of my trouble, so / got
some Postum and had it made strictly
according to directions.

taste. 1t entirely took the place of
coffee, and to my very great satisfac-
ticn. began to sleep peacefully and
sweetly My nerves improved, and

and child from the unwhoIesomo drug.

People do not really appreciate or
realize what powerful drug it is and
what terrible effect it has on the hui

of a certain number Of cards. She
works this list every so often. II you

your card is taken out and placed in

the list handled by the house lawyer,
who comes after you with all sorts of

times sold these small accounts to

can. They will even follow SON. or a
daughter with the unpaid bills Of par

And the stuff you get from me isn't
worth having. It is the cheapest stuff
imaginable. If it is clothing it won't
wear well and will come to pieces the
first time you wear it out in the rain.
If it is furniture it will break If a
heavy person sits down on it and if it's
hardware it is indispensable and will
never keep sharp and it probably has
flaw in it SO that it will break at
the first strain.
It's not worth buying in the first
place and it isn't worth having after
you have bought it. Don't order it in
the first place. Buy from your local
dealer, who at least will listen to your
complaints and replace any article not
up to standard. He keeps more de-
pendable stock Of stun than do. You
can rely on him, too. He can't run

Fuel Value Of Wood and Coal.

The fuel value of two pounds Of
wood is roughly equivalent to that of
one pound of coal. This is given as
the result of certain calculations now
being made in the forest service lab
oratory. which show also about how
many cords of certain kinds Of wood
are required to obtain an amount Of
heat equal to that in a ton Of coal.
Certain kinds of wood, such as hick-
DRY, oak. beech, birch, hard maple.
ash. elm. locust. longleaf pine. and
cherry. have fairly high heat values,
and only one cord OF seasoned wood
OF these species Is required to equal
one ton Of good coal

Mysteries Of Golf.

Josephus Daniels, secretary OF the
navy, was invited the other day to go
out and play golf
Il can't play it," said Daniels: u
made up my mind some time ago not
to go in for golf until they change the
rules"
How do you mean?"
We'll, until they change the rules
and make ii as coed game as
shiny"
That recalls the tale they tell about
the time Franklin K Lane, now secre.
tary of the interior, first undertook the
mastery Of golf
Two enthusiasts over the game lent
large set of clubs to Lane and they
played a round. When they had
reached the last hole Lane walked
over to the nearest teeing place and
began attempts to drive off with each
club in his sack, one after another.
THE games all over" they ex.
planned, gently

No matter how chic the costume as it
comes from the hands Of its designer,
1t is quite possible to lose all it's class
on woman who has no sense of

can wear rather plain things in way

All Of which goes to prove that if one
chooses certain gowns according to
good Judgment they may be worn for
several seasons and not look out of

INFORMATION FOR
TAXPAYERS BENEFIT

The following letter received from
the State Tax Commission by Sheriff
johnson explains how payment of taxes
must be made to avoid legal penalties :
On February 26, 1915. this Commits
sion sent instructions to each county
treasurer (then tax collector) advising
on certain matters of procedure in tax
collections of the current year. Such
instructions are here repeated, in sub.
stance, with additional advice which
now appears in order:
Where one-half of the 1914 taxes on
any property was paid before April ],
1915, the second half may be paid any
time before October !. 1915, without
penalty or interest; if the second half
is not so paid it will become delinquent
on October and be then subject to
penalty of 10 per cent and interest at
the rate of IL per cent per annum from
said date.
Where one-half was not paid before
April /, 1915, a penalty of one per cent
for each calendar month or part there
of, on the total amount unpaid, cumu-
lates during the period beginning April
] and ending August 81, 1915. For il
lustration, if a tax bill as charged on
the roll totals 500 and the full amount
is paid in the month of August, a pen
atty of 5 per cent (S5) is to be added
thereto. These cumulative penalties
are not to be collected on or before
September !, 1915, being superseded on
that date by the penalties and interest
applicable to delinquent taxes.
Where One-half of the 1914 taxes on
any property was not paid before April
], 1915, the entire amount unpaid will
become delinbuent September ], 1915,
and be then subject to a penalty of 10
per cent and interest at the rate of IL
per cent per annum. For instance, the
taxes as originally charged on a certain
property amount to 500: if paid in full
on September Is, 1915, the total amount
required would be Sll0.50, a penalty of
10 per cent, (s10) and interest at the
rate of IL per cent per annum for Is
days $50 beiEg added to the original
tax.
Section of Chapter l56, Laws of
1915. amending Section 1852, Lords
Oregon Laws and providing in part
that "The first half Of all taxes legally
levied and charged shall be paid on or
before the fifth day of April following.
and the second half on or before the
fifth day of October following" has no
application whatever to taxes charged
on tax rolls of the year 1914. Said sec
tion will become effective in 1916 and
apply in the payment Of taxes to be
charged on the 1915 rolls.
Sections 2 and 3 of Chapter l56, Laws
of 1915, amending Sections 1858 and
1857, Lords Oregon Laws. are now in
effect. Therefore. the tax collector is
to make his annual statement and tax
return, also proceed TO collect delin-
quent taxes on personally, on or i'm
mediately after October 5, 1915, instead
of September ! as heretofore.
