TAXABLE BASIS FALLS

HAGERSTOWN Md, June 2.-The
taxable basis of Washington County is
s78600, 800, which is S1,326 900 less
than last years basis. The tax rate will
probably remain the same as last year,
S1.30, despite the drop in the taxable
basis. A reduction will be made on the
road appropriation and much will be
saved, because there are no elections
The cut in the basis this year is due
to reduction in land values, the reduc-
ton being greater than the new prop
erty added to the tax books during the
year.

Ostrich Bulldogged by
Redouin Riding in Auto

1t is possible to bulldog os-
triches from the running board of an
automobile. Prof. A. Aharoni, OF the
Hebrew university at Jerusalem, led
geological expedition into the Syri.
an desert to collect specimens Of its
rare birds and animals. The expe-
dition wanted to capture alive two
ostriches. One of the tribesmen
stood on the running board of the
car and bending over, grasped an
almost black ostrich by one Of its
useless wings as they rode past at
terrific speed. The big bird was so
powerful that he would have dragged
the unfortunate Bedouin off his
slight hold on the running board
had not one of his brother Arabs
held him from the inside of the car
in a vise-like hold. They tied the
bird and took it into the already
overcrowded machine and continued
the chase. Another ostrich was al
ready so fatigued that 1t could
scarcely stand half hours pursuit.
This one was easily captured.

els wouldn't act right, she had no
appetite and nothing agreed with her.
"Our physician told us to give her

her pick up right away, and now she
is as robust and happy as any child
in our neighborhood. 1 give Califor-
mia Fig Syrup full credit for her
wonderful condition. 1t is a great
thing for children"
Children like the rich, fruity taste
Of California Fig Syrup, and you can
give it to them as often as they need
it, because it is purely vegetable.
For over so years leading physicians
have recommended 1t, and its over
whelming sales record Of over four
million bottles year shows it gives
satisfaction. Nothing compares with
it as a gentle but certain laxative,
and 1t goes further than this. 1t
regulates the stomach and bowels
and gives tone and strength to these
organs so they continue to act nor
mally, Of their own accord.
There are many limitations Of Cali
fornia Fig Syrup. so look for the
name california" on the carton to
be sure you get the genuine.
