perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, Soul bile
and %fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have

New Camera Like Telescope,

A camera that car be used for TAX
ing photographs without the subjects
knowledge, resembling in appearance
a short telescope, has been brought
out in Europe, in spite of the wars alb
sorbing interest, says Popular Science
Monthly. A lens almost invisible is
located in the side of the telescope, so
that the photographer, pointing what
appears to be a telescope at some dis
tant object, can get snapshots Of OBJ
jects that interest him, directly at
right angles to his apparent line of
vision.
The lens is equipped with an ad-
Unstable shutter, so that snapshots or
time exposures can be made. For
tourists travelling in foreign lands such
an equipment would be of considerable
value, as natives often spoil negatives
by unnatural posing and vacant star
ing, and this little camera would throw
them off their guard. In Europe they
call these contrivances detective
cameras.

Millions Escape Taxation.


Although Missouri state banks and
trust companies and the national
banks of the state had on deposit in
them on November 10, 1915, $780,
GIL 91, the total assessment of mon
ey, notes and bonds, and all other
forms of intangible wealth for taxes in
1916 will not exceed $120, 600, 900.
The total assessment of intangible
wealth for taxes in 1915 was about
$116,0 900, 900.
The failure of owners of notes and
bonds and money to return them for
taxation puts the burden of taxation
upon real estate and tangible prop
crty for the support of the state and
county governments. The assessment
upon real estate for Missouri last
year was about $780, 600, 900, 200.
All bonds are subject to taxation
in Missouri, but assessors report re-
veal that few of them are returned
for taxation. Public utilities have
bends outstanding in immense sums.
In addition there are road, drainage,
county and municipal bonds.
The discrimination in favor of real
estate in the matter of valuation for
taxation purposes is declared to be
one reason why the owners of bonds,
notes, etc, fail to make the returns.
Another reason is that some of the
bonds draw a very low rate of inter
est, and the holder can realize moth
ing upon his investment if he pays
taxes on the full value.

payers are here endeavoring to have
the state board of equalization lower
the pro rata assessment charged to
the city of St. Louis, or else to raise
the assessments elsewhere through
cut the state. The claim is made by
them that practically all the increased
revenue needed by the state is to be
obtained by the simple process Of
boosting st. Louis assessment. A

cities of large size also feel that they
are required to pay more than their
share. The board will need the vile

Labor leaders in St. Louis have ad-
dressed a letter to Governor Major
calling upon him to take some action
toward ending the strike of union
printers at the Stephens Printing
Company's plant in Columbia. The
letter says the governor should force
some action from the state board of
arbitration and mediation.
The strike at this plant, which has
important state contracts, followed
the refusal of the company to treat
with a committee of union printers ON
a new scale about a month ago. The
plant, it is alleged, is being operated
with strikebreakers from Chicago.
