APRIL TAX COLLECTIONS
AMOUNT TO $7,143,593
Total for Month Is Expected to Set
Record, If Present Rate
Is Maintained.

Collections for the first 81 days OF
April by the tax collectors Office
amounted to $7,143, 59341, according to
Tax Collector Chatham M. Towers, and
at this rate the total for April probably
will set a new months record for Dis
trict collections. The previous record
was made in october with a collection
Of $7,793, 63445.
April and october are the heavy col
lection months, as much OF the March
and September tax payments, made at
the last moment, are carried in the
next months books. The collections
for the remaining months of the fiscal
year are expected to be light, and the
probability is that this fiscal years col
lections will aggregate $35 100000, Mr..
Towers said. Thus far, they total
$50, 1888, 525.65, while the collections for
the 1929 fiscal year were $33,464, 1855

DEMOCRATS WEIGH
-FOUR WET PLANKS
Party in Michigan Considers
Definition of Attitude on
Prohibition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, April 30.-An attempt to
define the attitude of Michigan Demo-
Gratis on the prohibition question will
be made at a pre-primary convention to
be held at jackson on May "a.
The call for the conference, issued
Yesterday by Henry H. Hermann OF
Niles, chairman of the State central
committee. presents report of spe-
cial committee, which offers four plat
form planks on the subject.
These four proposals. which are to be
submitted in numerical order to the
convention, read:
Il. The present prohibition situation
Is a Nationwide farce. The Republic
an party has proven itself too coward
ly to enforce the laws. On the other
bandit has not the courage to advocate
their. repeal.
"2. The Democratic party of the
State of Michigan pledges itself to the
repeal of the eighteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution in order that
each State Of the Union may again
possess the right to regulate or proh1bit
| the LIQUOR within its boundaries in &C
cordance with the traditional Demo-
cratic doctrine of States rights.
"3. The eighteenth amendment 10 ouI
National Constitution and the laws en-
acted to support it by the Nation ano
by the States represent the highest
social ldealism ever enacted into the
| laws of any nation.
"a. We recommend to the congress OF
the United States that the question OF
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment to the Federal Constitution be
submitted to the States and we pledge
Democratic candidates in Michigan foi
the United States Congress to vote fol
suci, action. AS a direction to Congress
and the states, we favor Nation WIDE
referendum on the repeal OF the eight
zenith amendment in separate eiectior
dealing with this question alone"
| Adoption of one Of the proposals
would, of course, prevent voting or
subsequent ones.

REVIEWS POST MORTEM
TESTS IN CANCER CASES
Medical Journal Reports No Dis
covery of Specific Destruction
of Tissue by Treatment.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 30.-The Journal of
the American Medical Association in
an editorial by DR. Morris Fishbein in
its current issue discusses the results
of post-mortem examinations in the
cases of 80 cancer patients treated in
the Coffey- Humber clinic in San Fran
cisco.
The editorial states that investiga-
ton by pathologists and surgeons indi-
Gates that post-mortems do not re-
veal any definite specific destruction of
cancer tissue and that it may not re-
quire the accepted five years to deter
mine the virtue of the cancer treat
ment"
The Journal editorial written by DR..
Morris Fishbein says, in part:
Psychologists and surgeons who have
investigated the method express Moth
ing but profound disappointment with
both the clinical and the pathological
results. These experts indicate that
post-mortem examinations, which have
been made in at least 80 cases, do not
reveal any definite specific destruction
of cancer tissue or evidence that the
progress Of the spread of cancer in the
bodies of the aff1icted patients has been
retarded"

Some people eat too much or too

the wrong food and still others have
some organic trouble, but the pres

the opening chapter of serious story,
the Educational Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical association
warned in a bulletin issued today.
Because indigestion is SO common
among people it is often disregarded.
People who suffer from it should
watch the foods which they are eat
ing to discover the cause. Cutting
down the amount of food often ELI
inmates the trouble.
THE most frequent cause of indi-
gestion is improper diet" declares
the bulletin. Either the amount of
food is too large or the character of
food eaten is improper. or it is eaten
too rapidly. 1t is a wonder that the
human stomach does its work at all,
considering the way it is abused. You
overload your stomach with all man.

balks and you call it indigestion. The

FALL PROVES FATAL
TO MRS. WANBAUGH

Following a fall down the stairs
at the home of her son, Samuel, of
Menominie, Wis, Mrs. Jesse Wan
baugh passed away as the result of
a fractured skull.
Mrs. Wanbaugh is well known to
many people of Duxbury, Cloverton,

she used to live. She with her hus-
band had gone to the home of her
son to spend New Years day when
the accident occurred. She never
regained consciousness after the fall
and passed away within fifteen min
uets. 1t is thought a stroke of paral-
ysis or a sudden dizzy spell caused
the tragedy as she appeared in good
health.
She leaves to mourn her death her
husband, three sons, Joseph and Fred
of Anoka, with whom she and Mr..
Wanbaugh had been making their
home, and Samuel Wanbaugh of

$4,000 Topped OFF
FROM CHURCH DEBT

The annual meeting of the members
of the Askov Danish Lutheran church
was held in the church basement
Monday afternoon with a rather small
attendance. The report of the treas
urer, A. Gravesen, showed that the
total receipts for 1929 was $6,224.16
and that there was a balance of $751;
IS i'm the treasury. The total esti-
mated value of the church property
is $4,000 and the debt is nearly
$4,000. 1t was pleasing for the parish
toner's to learn that the debt had been
reduced nearly $4,000 the past year
which was brought about largely
through gifts from Jens Nielsen and
Peter Petersen. They were thanked
for their kindness and thanks were
also extended to the Sunday school
teachers, the organists, and singers
for their help in the work.
The Rev. A. E. Frost spoke briefly
on the preparation studies for confirm
alton and said he desired very much
that children be at least 10 years
or older before they take up the stu
dies and that they attend for two
years. He said further that he loved
this work of working with the young
people and hoped for good results.
The pastor said that lawlessness is
due to lack of character and loose
ness in character. Some folks blame
the public school for lawlessness, but
to have a good character does not
require high education. Abraham
Lincoln was a man of great charac-
ter though not classed amongst great
students. Good Christian influence
is the greatest character builder, said
the pastor.
Only one vacancy occurred on the
church board this year, that of chair
man, and N. B. Miller was reelected
to that position for three years.
Louis Olsen and Rasmus Petersen
were reelected as revisors.
