Kidney Medicine Disso|ves
Gravel Stones

DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root sells
we'll with us because it invariably
produces good results in Kidney,
Liver and Bladder troubles. We sold
a dollar bottle to one of the inmates
of our Soldiers Home near here, and
after using it he brought in about one
dozen gravel stones some as large as
a pea, which he had passed. He
states that he obtained wonderful re-
lief from the use of Swamp-Root.

ments, 1t is found that the total
township levy was $296.3S9.1S, the
average rate being $500 mills, while
the levy in the cities and villages
amounted to $217,429.64. the av-
erage rate in the latter being $3.50
mills. Based on full value, the rate
on unplatted land would be 1894
mills and on plated lands $3.50
mills zg.:ls5; +.
Taxes Are High. -
He said that much complaint had
been heard Of late about growing tax
rates in Beltram1 county. That tax
rates are growing increasingly heavy
in the county cannot be denied. In
many districts of the county taxes
have become so burdensome that set
tiers of moderate means are compelled
to make many personal sacrifices in
order to save. sufficient money with
which to pay them, or else let them
go unpaid. This is to be regretted
because it discourages new settlers
from locating in the county.
While roads and bridges and
bitches and schools are desirable i'm
provements in any community, there
is such a thing as pushing them so
rapidly as to make them an unbear-
able burden to- the settler. There
has been a noticeable tendency in re-
cent years toward large public ex-
penditures, not only in Beltrami but
in practically. every other county of
the state. Large expenditures nec-
essarily mean high tax rates. II
mounting tax. rates are to be halted
lit behooves every good citizen, and
especially taxpayers of moderate
means, to carefully scrutinize public
expenditures and to think twice. be-
fore lending their support to new
enterprises not now absolutely essen
tisl to the development of a district.
1t should be clearly understood
that the tax commission is not charg-
ing Beltrami county with unneces-
|sary extravagances. Tax levies in
this county may: be fully justified by
corresponding benefits. Neverthe-
less, that taxes have become burden
some to many settlers of moderate
means cannot be denied. The ques-
ton to be considered by the people
is whether a halt should not be called
in growing: expenditures until the
taxpayers, and especially settlers, are
in a better condition financially to
defray the cost of public improve
ments.
The following table shows the
comparative tax levies for different
purposes in Beltrami county in 1914
and 1915:

county last year, including the state
levy for schools and roads and
bridges, amounted to $32,898.98,
while the county received $46,9O9.16
from the state in aid of schools, roads
and other local purposes. Expressed
in another way: for each dollar you
levied for state purposes last year,
including schools and roads and
bridges, you received from the state
in aid of schools, roads and other
public purposes, $1.43 in return
These figures show that direct taxes
in their final analysis are levied al.
most entirely for local purposes.
Compares Rates.
More or less discussion has taken
place of late as to relative tax rates
in the rural districts and in cities
and villages. In comparing rates II
should be borne in mind that farm
or unplatted lands are taxed on a
basis of one-third of value, while city
and village or plated property Is
taxed on a basis of 40 per cent OF
value, or 20 per cent higher than
farm property. 1t therefore follows
that if this rate of levy was exactly
the same on unplatted and plated
property the actual tax on the lat.
ter would be 20 per cent higher than
on the former because of the differ
ence in the basis of assessment. Sep
arating the taxes levied in the towns
of Beltrami county in 1915 from the
levy in the cities and villages of the
county, exclusive of special assess

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-03-28

The increase in 1915 over 1914
amounts to $1OO,368.12 or about 10
per cent. OF this amount the coun-
ty increase is $63,3O3.74, the town.
ship increase $7,964.44, the city and
village increase $8,740.96, and the
school increase $23,363.34. For
state revenue purposes the levy in
1915 was $4,012.55 less than in 1914.
A comparison or levies for the two
years tells the story of growing tax
rates in Beltrami county.
Mr.. Armson explained the four
classes into which property is now
divided for purposes of taxation and
answered numerous questions asked
by the assessors relative to the meth
cd of listing and valuing the same.
Much interest was evinced by the as
SCISSORS in the discussion and it was
generally felt that the conference
would result in a more equitable
valuation of property this year than
in the past. -. -:

Feeding Orphan Lambs.

/ Usually there is little difficulty I'm
raising orphan lambs on cows milk on
a bottle, says the American Agricultur-
list. The greatest difficulty is In over
feeding and in giving unclean milk,
which VIII cause 'scours. would not
recommend that prepared feeds be de-
pended upon in making economical
gains, bat feel that the lamb should be
trained to eat hay and grain as early
as possible Good alfalfa or clover hay
with ground barley and oats will make
very good feed for lambs. The cheaper
the ration, provided It Is well balanced.
the more profitable will be the gain.

To Make Copper Oxide.

An excellent way to make copper
oxide for use in batteries is as follows:
Take a quantity of copper filings or
fine copper shavings and heat them in
a cast iron container or in a crucible
till they are red hot. Stir them with
an iron rod, and while still stirring
sprinkle little water over the filings
until they become ocher red. You will
then have a good quality of copper
oxide.
Copper oxide plates may be made as
follows: Mix the granulated or coarse
copper oxide with 5 per cent or 10 per
cent of magnesium chloride and heat
the heavy mass in forms made Of iron
sheeting. the forms being of the size
of the wanted plate. The more
chloride of magnesium used the more
porous the plates will be. The coarser
the copper oxide the better will be the
results.-Popular Science Monthly and
Worlds Advance.

Thackeray at Oxford.

An old story of Oxford and Thackeray
is recalled by Thomas Plowman, who
vouches in the Cornhill Magazine for
the accuracy of his version. Thackeray
had to apply to the vice chancellor for
permission to lecture and found that
gentleman ignorant alike of his name
and fame.
Still, he had a trump card left, which
he had been accustomed to consider
would carry all before it wherever the
English language was spoken. So, with
a quiet smile of supreme confidence, he
simply calculated, VANITY Fair you
know" Then at last, to his relief. a
look of awakened intelligence mani
tested itself upon the vice chancellor's
countenance. and Thackeray awaited
the ELUSIVE outburst which would
make amends for all. 1t came in the
words, Yes, yes, l have heard of
Vanity Fair of course; it is mentioned
in the Pilgrims Progress West
minister Gazette.

When Gasoline Runs Low.

In Farm and Fireside is an ingenious
suggestion for autOiStS whose gasoline
has run so low that they have trouble
in hill climbing.
One sometimes is caught out with Il
low supply of gasoline through having
to make long detOurS to avoid bad
roads or FROM other causes. The sup
ply can be made to stretch over this
emergency by adding denatured alco-
hol or Kerosene. Occasionally there is
sufficient gasoline for the ordinary lev
ell road. but not enough for an unex-
pected hill
In this case the principle of pressure
feed can be applied. Screw the cap
down tight on the gasoline tank and
then sharpen Il match to fit the venti-
lating hole in the cap. Blow into this
hole as hard as possible and immedi-
ately plug with sharpened match.
Usually this will enable the driver to
make the hill without further trouble.
But if not he can turn the car around
and back uphill.

Doctors Bills.

Your doctors bill, as a general rule.
reads. For professional services rem
dered." That means that you are to
pay for work done and not for miracles
performed. If you hire a doctor to at
tend you in sickness you enter a con-
tract to pay for his expert services
whether he succeeds in curing you or
not. 1t would be unfortunate for both
parties in the contract if the terms
were otherwise.
Two things are not yet clearly I'M
derstood by some people first, a doc
tors fee is cOllectable. and. second, a
doctor is not legally bound to attend
any one under any circumstances I'M
Iese he wants to. You can't make a
doctor work for u contingent fee, and
you can't make him work at all if he
chooses to refuse his services.-Chica-

CeIts Discovered Soap.

Soap appears to have been discover
ed by the Ceits. for the name is de-
rived from the Celtic word "sebon.'
1t seems strange that such early wan
derers should have been familiar with
soap, but if they had the name they
must certainly have had the article it
stood for. Moreover it is quite con-
ceivable that nOmadS using wood fires
could accidentally discover soap. All
woods have certain amount of min
eral salts. chiefly those of potash. in
their fibers. After burning these are
left in the form of carbonate. which a
heavy shower of rain would dissolve
into a liquid I've. wanting only the
grease from an overturned caldron of
broth to form soap. \ dash Of natural
curiosity on the part of the woman
who cleaned up the mess would reveal
the cleansing properties of the new
substance.-LOndOn Mail

One of Natures Show Places.

Ogden canyon. Il deep cleft through

looking the Great Salt lake. is one of
natures show places. cut in the solid
rock by the river which runs through
it, the rushing water, from prehistoric
times, carrying quantities of sand and
gravel which simply filed out the pres
ent wonderful canyon. Ogden river
was flowing west along it's present
course before the lofty Wasatch noun
tains came into existence. The raising
of the mountains went on slowly for
ages. so slowly that the river kept its
place by cutting down its ever rising
bed. In no Otl.er way can scientists
nationally account for river rising on
one side of the range and flowing d.
rectly across it.-ArgOnaut.

BUILDING a Small House.

When the prospective owner Of a
small house determines at last to build
the home to which he has been aspiring
for, perhaps, many years, he faces the
consideration with the realization Of
complex problem-the necessity of har-
monizing the ideal that has formed in
his years of anticipation with the stern
realities Of the actual bIilding. Con-
cisely stated. his problem is this: To
combine the five desirables-space.
charm. distinction, utility and comfort
with the sixth, economy, within the
apparently limited allowance of the
small house. Sometimes he succeeds
in this. Generally he yields to the diff
fculties presented and sacrifices one
or more Of the desirable qualities,
thankful to get finished house after
all the dissension ensuant with build
ing progress. When, however, a home
builder succeeds in the combining of all
these qualities in the construction Of
his house the achievement is worthy
Of record. - Raymond Comstock in

The Dog Rose.

The dog rose" has provoked as much
ingenious explanation of its name as
the horse chestnut" One solution is
that the dog" is really ''dagga," a
dagger, in aIlusion to the prickles, a
drawback from which the Alexandra
Day rose is free. Unfortunately for
this explanation, the flower bears a
similar name in countries where it will
not apply. The Germans, for instance.
have "Hundsrose," and Pliny tells how
a Roman mother was moved in dream
to send some roots of the wild rose to
her soldier son in Spain. They arrived
just after he had been bitten by a mad
dog. He took them and was preserved
from hydrophobia, as were others who
adopted the same treatment. And from
that time the wild rose became the
dog rOse."-LondOn Chronicle.

an English slave. The note came into
