DUR WELL ADMINISTERED TOWN
 GOVERNMENT

GOV EkE IEET.
 h connection with the administra- ton of tON n affairs and the taxation connected therewith-it is well to make A careful distinction between what is called for for the actual business of the town and thSt which has to be raised by the town. but over which the select mon have DO control. State taxes and county taxes s~e collected through the town but they do not enter into town government and are not made neces- Ea-y by action of the selectmen, any more than the tax for the schools of the town is The significance of this can be appreciated when It is realized that nearly 2 half of what has to be called for iu taxation. exclusive of the schools has to be raised for other than the actual running of the town.
 This is well illustrated by the fact that in the estimates for the ensuing gear the seIectaAn have been obliged to place s47,714.22 to meet a county tsx and s31 600 to meet a state tax or total of s78,714.22, for which they are not responsible
 How expenses which have to be met By the town. though out of control of fhe selectmen. have grown since the present administration came into power is well indicated by a comparison of he recommendation made for 1914-15 and those for the coming year
 in 1914-15 there was no county tax Today that tax amounts to S47.71422 Tn IaI4-15 the state tax called for Ess S24.3714S Today it is S31,000 hat IS required, an increase of over l6.ooG
 in 1914-15 there was no widows pen. aion fund Today the town has to pro vide s3 0Oo for that in accord with ar act of the legislature.
 In 1914-15 tho amount paid to tho e,ty for highway repairs was s1S.000 Today # is S23.000 and the selectme1 have nothing to do but comply.
 In 1914-15 the towns estimated re seipts for liquor license money were fix sd at $90. .o0o This year there is nt uch income and 1t must be made up b! taxation.
 Tint makes a total of nearly s92, ,00i which the town must pay which the ad n1inistration h. making the 1914-15 es inmates did not have to contend with and which, mind you, are all matter beyond the power of the selectmen t ao other than pay.
 Had the town administration of 1914 l5 been obliged to contend with thes extra sums t would have been neces gary to have called for a sum to b raised by taxation within s9600 of wha Is asked for today.
 Considering the fact that war condi lions have had their effect upon the ad rlinietration of town affairs, quite tn same as upon private business and per Eonal matters, keeping the actual ex bense of the town for which the select h1en can be held responsible down t within a half r1ill of what 1t was f fg14-15 must make it apparent to tn sib-ans who give careful considerable b snch matters. that the towns affair have not only been exceedingly we handled but that those at the helr should be kept there.
 That Will be insured next Monday b pulling the republican lever. That vi mean the continuance of goTd govern nent.

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
Mess, or who are growing hard of hear
ing and have head noises will be glad to
know that this distressing affliction can
usually be successfully treated at home
by an internal medicine that in many
instances has effected complete relief after
other treatments have failed. Sufferers
who could scarcely hear have had their
hearing restored to such an extent that
the tick of a watch was plainly audible
seven or eight inches away from either ear
Therefore, if you know of someone who is
troubled with head noises or catarrhal
deafness, cut out this formula and hand it
to them and you may have been the means
OF saving some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can be
prepared at home and is made as follows :
Secure from your druggist / OF Parmint
Double Strength Take this home and
add to it a pint of hot water and little
graduated sugar; stir until dissolved
take one tablespoonful four times a day
Parmint is used in this way not only to
reduce by tonic action the Inflammation
and swelling in The Eustachian Tubes and
to equalize the air pressure on the drum
but to correct any excess of secretions in
the middle ear, and the results it gives
are nearly always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form, or distressing rumbIing kissing
sounds in their ears, should give this re-
cipe a trial.-Adv.
