SUSSEX AND TAXES.

SUSSEX AND TAXES.
From the Milford Chronicle.
In few parts OF Sussex county
where the old assessment lists were
notorious for under-valuation Of
property, and where the property
holders escaped their just share of
county taxes thereby, an outcry has
arisen against the new system of as
sessment and against the means Of
collecting the taxes. II is natural that
dishonest men and women shall OBJ
ject TO the reforms in valuation as well
as in the more economical methods OF
collecting the taxes. But the great
bulk Of the people recognize that the
present system is step forward, that
the laws are not perfect, and that
there will have to be some amend
ments and additions, to make them
work smoothly and for the best in
terest Of all the people. Under the
new assessment and tax collecting
laws. the tax rate has been reduced in
Sussex county from ninety cents to
forty-five cents on the hundred dollars.
In. some instances the taxes have been
lessened considerably. while in the
districts where the differentiation
system existed. there has been some
reduction. even at the advanced as
sessment, and yet the Shylock and
misers make an cutlery against the
laws. They will object 10 any taxes
OF any kind. regardless of laws, and it
will be well for the people to remem-
Der that every man and every woman,
must pay an equal share of the cost
of government, be it for county, town
or school.

To People Who Are
Under NOrmalWeight
Good Advice For Thin, Undeyei-
oped Men and Women Who
Want tn Put on Flesh.

Thousands of people suffer
from excessive thinness, weak
nerves and feeble stomachs who.
having tried advertised flesh
makers. food-fads. physical cul-
ture stunts and rub-on creams, re-
sign themselves to lifelong skin
niness and think nothing Will
make them fat Yet their case is
not hopeless. A recently dis
covered combination of assimila-
tive agents has made fat grow
after years of thinness, and 1t is
also unequaled, judging from re-
ports, for repairing the waste of
sickness or faulty digestion
and for strengthening the nerves.
This remarkable preparation Is
called sargol. Six strength-giv-
ing, fat-producing assimilative
elements of acknowledged merit
have been combined in this prep
aration, which Is endorsed and
used by prominent people every
where. 1t is absolutely harmless.
inexpensive and efficient.
A few weeks systematic use of
Sargol should go far to produce
flesh and strength by correcting
faults of digestion and by supply
ing nourishing fats to the blood.
If not, every druggist who sells 1t
Is authorized to return the pur-
chase price. Increased nourish-
ment Is obtained from the food
eaten, and the additional fats that
thin people need are thus pro-
vided. Crown Drug Co. and 9TH
or leading druggists supply Sar-
gol and say there is a large de-
mand for it.
While this new preparation has
from reports given splendid re-
suits as a nerve-tonic and vital
izer, its use is not recommended
to nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds
of flesh.

ETERNAL
TRIANGLE
in COURT

Charles Douglas, structural
iron worker, who has been out
of the city for some time, was
taken into court Friday to face
a charge of having beaten W. +.
Chiffon, Indiana hotel.
Just before the trial Douglas
had Chiffon arrested on a charge
of having threatened to kill Mrs.
Douglas a few days ago. Both
men were put on trial together,
Douglas said he had whipped
Chiffon because the latter had
taken advantage of his absence
and had paid attentions to Mrs.
Douglas.
Chiffon swore that Mrs. Doug
las had a mysterious influence
over him, hypnotic in its results,
and that he could not live hap
PLY out of her sight. He had
threatened to kill her when he
learned that she had a husband,
it was alleged.
At the conclusion, Judge Ev-
ans fined Douglas $40 for techni-
cal assault. and sent Chiffon to
Jail for six months.
Douglas paid his fine, and
walked out of court with his
wife. Chiffon was taken to the
county jail.

LITTLE HOPE OF
GETTING STAG
FOR FISH DOCK

Although Commissioner Gronen
Friday said he was attempting
to bring all possible pressure to
bear upon the park board in in
fluencing it to abandonplants to
use Stag OF the Tacoma smelter
for a breakwater around Point
Defiance park, little hope was ex-
pressed at the city hall that he
would succeed.
Secretary Cover of the park
board declared that all arrange
ments had been made and that
the board would go ahead with
its plans.
Fishermen, however, want an
enclosed harbor and dock at Old
Tacoma, where they can expedite
the work of discharging cargo
and loading provisions. They are
not in sympathy with the parks
breakwater idea, they say.

Mrs. Ruth Tyree has received
letter from her husband, First
Sergt. w. h. Tyree of Troop b.
dated at Calexico, July %, in
which he says he will return In

its hurried recruiting, speaks
with enthusiasm of the men.
Unless something unforeseen
happens, he says. this troop
