To Look and Feel
Bright in Hot Weather

This is the season when she who
would have ily-white complexion
should turn her thoughts &c .nercolized
wax, the firm friend Of the summer girl.
Nothing SO effectually overcomes the
soiling effects of sun, wind, dust and
dirt The wax literally absorbs the
scorched. discolored, freckled. withered
or coarsened cuticle, bringing forth a
brand new skin, clear. soft and girlish-
ly beautiful. It also unclogs the pores,
removing blackheads and increasing
the the skins breathing capacity. An
ounce Of mercolixed wax, obtainable
at any drugstore. applied nightly like
cold cream, and washed OF mornings,
will gradually improve the worst COM
plexion.
When depressed by the heat and you
want to freshen up for the afternoon or
evening, battle the face in a lotion made
by dissolving an ounce Of powdered
saxolite In a half pint witch hazel.
YouN and this more refreshing than an
hours rest. It Is flne for smoothing out
wrinkles, even the deeper ones.

SUPERVISORS ORDER TAXABLE
VALUE oE-FARMs INCREASED
20 PER CENT.
LAND HAS BEEN VALUED
$40 AN ACRE TOO LOW
Petition Of Marshall County Farmers
Association Granted by Supervisors
Who Lowered Assessed Valuation Of
Fat Cattle and Hogs 10 Per Cent
Were Assessed Too High.

The assessed valuation for taxes of
land in Linn township, just west Of the
city, has been ordered increased 30 per
cent by the board of supervisors The
board considered the valuation at
which the farms of this township were
assessed for taxes for the next two
years was altogether too low.
They found the average value at
which all the farm land of the county
was assessed to be sS0.2S an acre, but
that the Linn township farms had been
assessed at only s60.15 an acre on the
average.
Reduce Livestock Assessments.
The petition of the Marshall County
Farmers Association was granted by
the board which lowered the assessed
valuation Of fat cattle and hogs 10 per
cent for each class of livestock. 1t
was quite apparent to the board that
the assessors, when they agreed last
January to cents pound as a valu-
alton for hogs and to 6 cents for
cattle in feeding got the rate altogether
too high in view Of the low market
for livestock that prevailed most of the
time since early in the winter. The
auditor was instructed by the board
to change these assessments in the tax
books
