The extent of the measles in our city
may be judged from the fact that
about eighty pupils of the public school,
in the second ward, are laid up with it.
The bill changing our form of county
government back to the old system of
one supervisor from each town is to be
acted on by the state senate on the 23d.
Report says the senate is pretty evenly
divided for and against the measure.
Dizziness of the times effects every
branch of trade and industry; even the
ministers complain of having no mar
riages TO solemnize for week or two.

Some interesting engineering work
was performed in indianapolis in the
rebuilding OF the union station where
II was necessary to raise the tracks
and erect a new station while main
tanning 1876 passenger trains per day.
20 OF which were through trains with
some so freight trains. Fortunately
the station was to be widened on the
south side, which made It possible
20 build two new track sections on the
elevated grade, and after these tracks
we're built they were put IN service

A long stride had been made in
the direction OF tax reform in Ohio,
but the fuil program OF revision ad-
vocated by the best thought on the
su bject was not achieved until later.
What the defects Of the system were
and how they were corrected are
succinctly stated in the governor S
message:
The situation in taxing affairs
when the present administration
came into being was as follows:
There had been an adequate as
sessment Of the property OF public
utilities and banks and OF real estate.
all OF which was done under the
supervision OF the tax commission
OF Ohio. There had been an increase
OF $4,000, 100000 in these classes OF
property. When the present ad-
ministration came into power the
personal property Of individuals and
the property OF Incorporated COM
panies were the only classes Of prop
erty IN this state that were not list
ed by the tax comm ission. or under
its supervision. SO that while the
four billions OF dollars increase 10
real estate. public utilities and
banks had brought about a reduc-
ton in tax rates the owners Of in

Special Session.
on July 20. 1914. Gov. Cox did
the unprecedented thing OF calling
the legislature OF Ohio fin special
session for the sole purpose OF re-
ducing the state tax levy. This was
the immediate result OF the tax
reform law passed the year before.

besides that It IS a document that

Gut Rate.
The state tax levy had been .9610
mills and the governor recommend
cd that II be cut 20 1890 mills. more
than half. This reduction made the
state levy the lowest in the history
OF Ohio, and the governor estimated
that 10 would effect a saving 20 the
people OF approximately $4,000. 900.
The reduction IN the rate was made
possible, he explained, because that
state had an intelligent and eff
Cient tax listing system. which had
resulted In hundreds OF millions OF
on duplicate that year for the first
time.
Gov. Cox's mesa &c stated that
the increase in the amount Of the
tax duplicate for 1914 over 1913
would be approximately $1,000 600
900 principally IN the intangible
property Of individuals and the
property Of incorporated companies.
In view OF this he declared that I'VE

If Too Thin Try
Bitro-Phosphate

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
in different individuals, 1t is we'll
known fact that the lack of phos-
phorus in the human system is very

1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorus may
now be met by the use of Bitro-Phos-
phate, which can be obtained from
Conkey Drug Co., or any good drug

of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
