TAXES DUE FOR 1917
PAYABLE TOMORROW

"a the payment OF the taxes on
the 1917 roll will begin in the sher-
im's Office next Monday II will be of
interest to the taxpayers to know
that out Of 81 school districts In
the county. have the same special
levy as last year, 81 a lower levy,
and 10 have a higher,
So many school districts having
voted lower levy than before would
seem to indicate thatsthe payment
OF the back taxes on the railroad
lands has helped out. However, II
must be kept In mind that title to
these lands has been revested In the
government. thus eliminating them
from future assessments until such
time as title has passed into private
ownership.
The county levy Is four-tenths OF
a mill higher than last year. The
road levy remains the same
The special levy for the city OF
Grants Pass advanced 3 9/lO mills.
This was found necessary in order to
provide interest and sinking fund
for the 100000 railroad bonds.
The total levy on property within
the city limits Is N mills. The levy
last year was 43 mills.
The state tax Is $25.645.90. Last
year It was s23,966.60.

COMFORT KITS ARE
 BANNED BY ARMY
Red Cross Ordered Not to Make
 Further Distributions

Comfort kits will no longer be dis tributed to men in the training camps by the Red Cross following an order issued by the General Staff of the army, at the request of General Pershing, barring them from the per @onal baggage of soldiers going over seas. The need of shipping space on transports for the equipment that the soldiers must carry together with the Eact that troop movements in France are very rapid, occasioned this re- quest from the leader of the Ameri- can forces. definite list of the ar tjcles that a man may take with him ,las been issued by the War Depart 1nent.
 The articles contained in the Red Cross comfort kit can be obtained, for the most part, by the men in the camps and cantonments in the United States. Through the regular freight channels, however, the Red Cross will be able to arrange for shipment overseas a large quantity Of comfort kits which will be distributed through it's Foreign Commissions. Such ship rent will be made because 1t is felt that under existing conditions the 1<its furnish to the men overseas ad~ 3itional comforts that are much ap- preciated: it is held, therefore. that it is iustifable to expend funds for kits to be distributed in this way.
 Mailing Extended.
 The date for sending Christmas par ccls to the members of the American Expeditionary Forces, announced originally as November IS, has been changed to November 20, allowing relatives five days longer in which to make up their gift boxes.
 The cartons that will contain the Christmas gifts can be obtained only from Red Cross Chapters on the pres ontation of a Christmas parcels label. The latter will have to be sent by the soldiers overseas. Without the label no Christmas box can be sent. The Red Cross Chapters are now receiv- ing their allotment of cartons and complete force of workers will be on hand to facilitate the task of exam ming, approving and sending out the packages.
 The Christmas parcels will be sent to the American Red Cross Commis- sion in Berne, Switzerland, and from that point will be distributed to the prisoners.

LESS MEAT IF BACK
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take 8 Glass of Salts to Flush Kid- neys if Bladder Bothers You
 Drink Lots of Water.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authori- ty, because the uric acid in meat ex- cites the kidneys, they become over- worked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particular ly backache and misery in the kid ney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipa- tion, torpid liver, sleeplessness. bIad- der and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a. glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no long CT irritates, thus ending bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

PREDICTS TERRIBLE
 WINTER IN RUSSIA
Starvation Faces Millions, Owing
 to Crop Failures

London, Oct 2e, (Correspondence of the Associated Press)-A winter of starvation is a safe prediction for Russia. Indications are that it will be one of the worst winters the Rus sian people have experienced in all their history.
 All summer the food situation in Russia, particularly in Moscow, Pet rograd and other large cities has been steadily growing more and more acute. In the latter part of August, before the writer left Moscow, bread, or that mixture of straw, oat husks and other ingredients of unknown origin which Moscow inhabitants are induced to accept as bread, had al- most entirely disappeared, and cer- tain city districts had not received the usual allowance for nearly week.
 The government had classified the population into categories, whereby workingmen and government em- ployes received a larger allowance, while professionals and well-to-do people get the smallest, which in Moscow amounts to one-sixteenth of a pound. In Petrograd the bourge- ots or middle class fared poorly on an allowance of three herrings a day
 The shortage of bread is largely due to the governments short-sighted policy in fixing a low price for grain which did not even cover the farm er's expenditure, let alone profit. The peasants refused to comply with the decree to turn over all grain in ex- cess of a certain arbitrarily fixed amount to the food committee, and when the latter were re-enforced by a detachment of armed bread cru saders", the peasants gathered from several villages and offered resist ance, frequently putting the crusad- CTS to flight.
 But even If the government price were much higher the peasants would not willingly exchange their grain for worthless money, of which they seem to have much and which has no prac- tica1 value to them. They want man. ufactured goods, which the govern ment is unable to furnish. as most of the factories are idle, for lack Of fuel and raw material, and also because the Bolsheviki need the workmen to fight on the numerous fronts.

 General Otami's campaign on the Ussuri and the Amur, for rapidity and success is truly remarkable. He landed at Vladivostok on the 18th of August, concentrated on the 23rd, and fought a brilliant and successful battle on the 24th. On September 9th he moved his army APO miles for the capture of Khabarovski; an accomplishment worthy of the best traditions of the glorious Japanese army.
 T sincerely thank General Oi and the staff of the splendid 12th division for all the courtesy and friendly feel ing displayed to the American troops under my command. The serving of the Japanese and American armies will more closely unite the already friendly nations"

Powerful Heating Apparatus Used to
