ops, grows Yyorse-the pain and dis
tress is incessant and the truth
dawns that we have chronic stom-
ach trouble.
The case of Mr.. Louis Young, 205
Merrimac St, Rochester, N. Y, is
typical. He writes: Il suffered for
thirty years with chronic bowel
trouble, stomach trouble and hem
orrhages of the bowels. We bought
a bottle of Peruna and 1 took it
faithfully. l began to feel better
My wife persuaded me to continue
and did for some time as directed.
Now I am well man." Mr.. Young's
experience is not unusual.
II you suffer from catarrh in any
form, whether of the head. stomach,
bowels or any other part of the
body, try Peruna. 1t may be just
what you need. Peruna comes in
either liquid or tablet form and is
sold everywhere. Your dealer has
it or win get iU for you. Ask for
DIR. Hartman's World-Famous Pc
runa Tonic and insist upon having
it. If YOU want your health accept
nothing else.
All the sick and suffering are in
vited to write The Peruna Company,
Dept u.s. Columbus, Ohio, for DIR.
Hartman's Health Book. The book
is free and may help you. Ask your
dealer for a Peruna. Almanac.

TO THE TAX ASSESSOR:

From inquiries from some
Assessors, it appears that there
is some misunderstanding at to
how the blank for assessment of
personal property should be used
IN listing certain classes of per-
sonal property. This letter is
written for the purpose of fur
nishing information for your
benefit in making these assess
mentS.
If the taxpayer make affidavit
that his HOUSEHOLD FURNI-
TURE is worth no more than
$3.50, and you believe that it is a
true statement, you should not
list any of the several items
hereunder, appearing on the
tax list. Only one column ap-
pears on the personal roll for it.
At least, seventy perct. of the
taxpayers have less than $3.50
worth of HOUSEHOLD FURNI-
TURE, and are exempt from
assessment for same. Surely,
none except hotels or rooming
places have more than $3.50 in
vested in beds and bedding, and
it would be unfair to other tax
payers for such to escape their
portion Of the tax burden. ALL
HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE in
excess of $3.50 has ALWAYS
been subject to taxation. There
is no new burden imposed by
itemlzation; it carries the law,
which has been in effect since
the creation Of the State.
There are many luXuries in
the Households Of the Rich or
Well to- do, which have not here
tofore appeared on the Tax List
Blanks (although always taxa
ble); such as cut glass, art
squares, mahogany or Other
expensive and handsome furni-
ture. There are art squares il
some cities which cost more than
$500 each. Unfortunately, Mis-
sissippi has not many, whose
homes are aeOrnen with such
uXUrics; but the fortunate
should be glad to pay their por-
| tons of the State Government,
which educates the youths, per
sions the Confederate Soldier,
heals the poor, when afflicted o.
crippled, and cures or cares TO
the insane; but she cannot do ST
without money. The money
cannot be raised except by taxa
ton. Every citizen honestly
owes his portion of the expense
Of the State Government. Thi'
portion is measured by the value
OF all taxable property owned bN
the citizen. 1t is therefore your
duty to see that all property S
assessed and valued according 10
law.
Much machinery has bee n
escaping taxation; this has bC en-
occasioned by the omission of the
names of the various kinds of it
from the tax assessment blanks.
Only one column appears on the
roll for this, but the itemization
will add much to the rolls.
Diamonds, jewelry, cut glass,
art squares, rugs. automobiles,
solvent credits, merchandise and
many kinds of property other
than the above are escaping
their portion Of the tax burden
either by not being listed or by
| being undervalued. 1t is your
duty to see that property Of all
kinds is assessed for it's value;
and, if not reported or if under
valued to report the taX-dodger
| to the Supervisors and District
Attorney. It's your moral duty.

rendered honest returns because

service, and ask that you give
this program careful and prayer
full attention as we try to set
forth what it will mean and
what it will require to bring in
the reign of righteousness on
earth; The great problem in
the administration of missions is
to combine, in due proportions,
decentralization in the conduct
of details and Capitalization in
the settlement of principles.
On the Importance of the former
all are a great interest to our
Baptist people of the world.
Hence the aim of missions is to
make Jesus Christ known to
every creature, so that he may
have an intelligent opportunity
to accept him as his savior. So,
to sum the matter up, the chris
tian missionary motive is three
fold. We are summoned by God
in Christ to join with him in
doing that work of saving grace
toward men which is nearest to
his heart, and we cannot refuse:
loyalty to God and Christ con-
strains us. We have received in
Christ the best good in life, and
are impelled from within to i'm
part it: love to men constrains
US. The world needs the giver
and the gift, and needs both
now: and the tremendous want
constrains US. The threefOld
motive is justified by present
facts and by eternal realities and
there is nothing that can legiti-
mately deprive it of it's force,
except the full accomplishment
of the end. No special views
are needed to enforce the motive.
Taking the world exactly as it is
and as all sound knowledge finds
it, the motive is sufficient. But
it is q spiritually discerned.
