Amy breaking out of the skin, even, fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Men-i tho-Sulphur, says noted skin spec-I ialist. Because of its germ destrey.l ing properties, this sulphur prepara- ton inxantly brings ease from skin irritation, soothes and heals the, eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth.

ST. PAUL WOMAN
OVER TROUBLES
Miss Paddock Says Tanlac Has Re.
stored Her To Perfect Health After
Years of Suffering.

"It's just wonderful the way Tan
lac has built me up and relieved me of
my troubles" said Miss Anna Paddock,
of 1O42 Randolph ST., st. Paul, Mimi.
"For more than two years before l
got Tanlac my stomach was in a bad
~ disordered condition. There were
number of things ! never dared to
cat, but no matter how careful was
about my diet bloated up with gas
and had intense pains after eating. ]
also had severe pains in my sides and
my nerves wouldn't let me rest day or
night. In spite of everything l could
do kept getting worse and just felt
weak, miserable and Respondent all
the time.
"But Tanlac helped me from the
first few doses and now all my trou-
bles are gone. can hardly get enough
to eat and can eat just whatever l
please and never feel a touch of indi-
gestion. The pains have gone from
my side, my nerves are steady and 1
sleep fine. Tanlac has made me like
an altogether different person."
Tanlac is sold in Minot by the Tay-
lor Drug Co., in Kenmare, by J. l..

Twenty Minot Men Pay Taxes on
Clothing for Entire City

Owing to some sort Of a fluke, twen-
~ Minot men must pay the taxes on
wearing apparel for all Of the men Of
Minot unless they are offered some re-
lief. This all came about because they
listed their clothing in the assessment
blank left with them by the assessor
last spring. The assessment was made
rather too low to suit the state author
ties, so they figured out about what
the value of the clothing worn by all
of the men of Minot and divided the
taxes among the twenty honest souls
who listed their glad rags. For in
stance, Henry Wilson, president of the
international Oil Co., is taxed to the
extent of close to 5000 on his ward
robe. But then Henry owns dress
suit and the state authorities probably
figured that he was able to pay the
tax. John F. Quigley was taxed
something like $146.OO. Now John
declares that he will sell his entire
wardrobe for $29.99 and he believes
that the state authorities must have
faxed the clothing of his eleven chill
Aren as well. The editor of the Inde-
pendent, who hasn't been able to buy
a new suit for nearly five years, es-
:aped taxation on his wearing apparel.
This is the first time in history when
an editor got his just deserts.
