Weekly Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. w. LUCAS.

People get sick because they so
hway from Nature, and the only way
TO get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every Ill.
Some Of these vegetable growths are
understood by man. and some are not.
Animals, it would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that sick horse, dog or cat
win stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root OF
Jalap, into little white sugarcoated pills,
that he called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your in
testines are stopped up, poisons and de-
cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys-
TEN, and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy. you can't sleep,
your skin may break out, your appetite de-
clines, you get tired and respondent. As
a matter of fact, you may get sick all
over. Don't you see how useless all this
suffering is? All that is often needed is
q few of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which he has placed in all drug stores for
your convenience and health. Try them
by all means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.

LARGE NUMBER PAY LAST
RESPECTS TO JERRY SMELL

Alarge number of people, many of
them from out of town, attended the
funeral services of the late Jerry
Smell which were held from the fam
lily home on North Court street at II
o'clock last Sunday morning.
Mr.. SHELLS death occurred Thursday
afternoon, October 16, the result of
neuralgia, superinduced by a stroke
which he suffered on Aug. Is, this
year.
Deceased was born May IA, 1866,
at Canaan, Wayne county. During
his early life he spent much of his
time working in Wooster, Wadsworth,
and other places in this vicinity.
About 1910 he came to Medina.
On February 20, 1911, Mr.. Smell
took to wife Miss Estella We'll, of
Canal Fulton and they started house
keeping in this village.
Two months ago Mr.. Smell suffered
slight stroke of paralysis, and while
confined to his bed for time, was
later able to get around the house
and even as barn as the barn with the
aid of his wife. About week before
his death deceased contracted neu-
ralgia which finally reached his heart
and caused death.
Mr.. Smell had for a number of
years been proprietor of the barber
] shop on North Court street and was
widely known and well-liked for his
genial and habitual good nature. He
was noted as lover of the great
outdoors and had no mean reputation
as a sportsman. He was a member OF
the Loyal Order of Moose.
One brother, F. A. Smell, of Ca.
naan, and three sisters, Mrs. H. w
Taylor, of Seville: Mrs. John Scholl
of Creston, and Mrs. Chas. Milburn
of Barberton, besides the widow, are
the immediate family surviving.
Funeral services were held from the
home Sunday, Rev. Bryenton, of the

WASHBURN RELIEVES McNEAL
AS COUNTY AUDITOR

Ward Washburn succeeded George
McNeal, as auditor of Medina county
on Monday of this week. The retir-
ing official was made the recipient of
the usual rocking chair. Probate
Judge O. O. VanDeusen was chairman
of the occasion and Commissioner
Scanlan made the presentation speech,
which was responded to by Mr.. Nc
Neal. Nearly all of the county
officials said a good word for the
old and welcomed the new county
official
1t is matter of common knowledge
that Mr.. McNeal has made one of the
best-if not the best-county auditor
Medina county has ever had. The
duties of this office have been added
to each year until they have become
almost burdensome, and Mr.. McNeal
could be found in his office many
nights burning midnight oil in order
to conduct his affairs in the most
efficient manner.
Mr.. Washburn, the new official, will
retain the services of Mr.. McNeal for
an indefinite length of time.

farms paid more dollars in taxes and
money invested or at interest paid
much less Classification might be
made a pretty theory but in every
State where tried land taxes had in
creased, taxes on intangible property
had decreased and tax revenues from
such intangibles had almost disap-
peared; there was as much if not
more tax dodging than before.
Three evils were presented as
growing out of the proposed system:
I. Lobbying in the legislature; by
men and interests that would be
seeking low classification, in some
Instances amounting to no taxation
at all. 2. Bring tax matters into poll
tics, and make the system the foot
boil of politicians. Evils in all forms
would creep in and bring havoc to the
purses Of men with property they
could not hide. 3. The many thou
sands having property not found and
taxed would have representation in
the law-making power of the State
without paying cent of taxes, a
thing manifestly unfair to those who
do carry the burden. And it was es-
-timated that ten billions of such prop
erty escaped taxes in Ohio.
In Kentucky they increased the total
of intangibles on the tax duplicate Is
times in bulk, but decreased the rate
27 times, big loss in money actually

Contrasts the Results in Maryland,

Compared with Theories Promised

The court room was filled with in

master of the State Grange. The
"story as told to me" is that money
loaners and holders of taxable prop
critics other than farms and homes,
recognizing under the present loose
methods Of spending monies for i'm
provements and local government the
need of collecting more funds from
some source, set on foot the present
plan for classified taxation. Not
wishing to pay more taxes themselves
they at once formulated plan. and
devised new law, calculated to get
the money-from the "other fellow"
from the small home owner and farm
er, permitting the money lender and
"Big interests" to slip through the
meshes of the law on a very small
contribution.
At the outset Mr.. Tabor denied that
the farmers had started this fight, or
that the farmers and small home
owners were desirous Of escaping any
part of the taxes that they in right
should pay. The inspiration" for
classification came from the men who
had for years done the lodging; he
and his friends, and the Grange as
an organization, had only entered
this fight when they had been pushed
into it.
He made a line drive right off the
bat in the statement that classified.
ton would not cure the tax ills from
which Ohio was suffering. He said
further, that classification woulc
prove a menace. He laughed at the
theory that a man who had intangible
property, now taxed half of one pei
cent, who was now lodging woult
return it for taxation if this property
was tayl but one tenth; said taa

the danger would not limit it's trans

Mr.. Tabor produced figures from
several States to show that in every
case where there was classifcatio,
