WHERE TAX MONEY is SPENT

People who are wont to complain
about the heavy and growing burden
of taxation, must look elsewhere than
upon the Republican state admins
tration for the fault.
1t has been developed in recent
statement emanating from the office
of the State Tax Commissioner that
out of every one hundred dollar col
lected for taxation during the year
1923, derived from the general levy,
only $2.45 was spent for state pur-
poses. The entire balance went into
the various county, district and mum
cipal funds, to be expended locally for
schools, roads and other general local
purposes.
The following is statement of the
distribution of the tax money, show
ing the various purposes for which it
is expended and the proportion for
each:
Each $4,000 of taxes paid in 1928
was used as follows:
General State Purposes $2.45
County and District Roads 14.07
General County Purposes
(Other than Debit 11.37
School Purposes
(Other than Debt) 484G
Municipal Purposes
(Other than Debt) DAT
Bonded Debt Purposes 1418
$4,000
Of the $14.18 for Bonded Debt &c.
AZ was used for Road Bonds; 30
for other County District Bonds;
1914 for School Bonds; $2.47 for
Municipal Bonds; $1.86 for Virginia
Debt.
Total for School Purposes includ-
ing School Bonds $51.60
Total for County District Roads in
Guiding Bonds 20.49
Thus, it is shown that the greater
part of the tax money collected is by
local assessment and is spent for To-
cal purposes.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-R0ot

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, In
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles Of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this Observation-Disclosures.

Weather Affects Tun1ors

That the growth Of malignant tu-

In the Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research. Drs. w. Fl. Brown, l..
Pearce and G. NJ. Van Allen have had
q, number of rabbits suffering from
malignant tumors, under observation.
A comparison Of meteorological rec
ords and the growth of tumors in dis
eased rabbits revealed a striking CO.
incidence between the decrease Of tu-
NOR growth and the periods Of maxi
mum and minimum sunlight, that is,
In summer and winter seasons; while
the greater malignancy occurred at the
times of sudden and rapid changes in
the hours of sunshine day. The lat
ter periods correspond roughly with
spring and fall of this year.
