Easy Pleasant Way
 To Lose Fat

How would you like to safely and harmlessly lose 15 pounds of fat in 0 month and at the same time increase your energy and im- prove your health?
 How would you like to lose your double chin and your too promi- ncnt hips and abdomen and at the same time make your skin 50 clean and clear that 1t will compel ad- miration?
 Get on the scales to-day and see how much you weigh--then get q bottle of Kruschen Salts that costs next to nothing and which will last you weeks. Take one half teaspoonful in a glass of hot water in the morning--cut down on pastry and fatty meats--go light on po- tatoes, butter, cream and sugar and when you have finished the contents of this first bottle weigh yourself again.
 After that you'll want to walk around and say to your friends. "One bottle of Kruschen Salts is worth one hundred dollars of any fat persons money"
 But refuse imitations--safeguard your health--you lose fat SAFELY with Kruschen.
 Leading druggists America over sell Kruschen Salts---you can al- ways get 1t at Carrolfs Cut Rate Store.

Tho Bidding.
 Tho bidding was South one spade, West pass, North two spades, East three clubs and South went to four spades. At some tables West made a good sacrifice bid of five clubs.
 The Play.
 At the table where four spodes bought the contract, the jack of clubs was opened by West and East played the encouraging nine spot. It Is quite true that if West had now shifted to the king of diamonds, the declarer's contract would have been defeated ons trick, but West in this case could sec no advantage in leading a dla- mond as he may make two dia- mond tricks and is sure of q heart trick.
 It looked as though the better play was to continue with the ten of clubs which the declarer trump ed with the ten of spades. Notice that he did not trump with the six spot. The three of hearts was then led and won in the dummy with the king. The nine of spades was led from dummy and when East played the three, declarer played have held three spades to the king. the six. A small spade was then led and even though East might have held thre spades to the king. the declarer, by trumping with the ten spot, providedg for this distri- button. But the king fell on the second trump lead and the declar- ar won with the ace.
 The declarer then led his ace of hearts and a small heart, hoping to find the hearts divided three- three which they were. West re- turned the eight of clubs which the declarer trumped with the jack of spades and then led the nine of hearts, discarding the seven of dia- monds from dummy. The ace of diamonds was then led and tho nine spot discarded from dummy.
 Deciarer then led the four of diamonds which West won with tho queen, but the declarer took the last two tricks and made his con- tract of four odd.

course there should be some exemp-

justifies it he should pay an income

We are very apt to see a sales tax
enacted by the government and we
can't help feeling this is a poor way
to bring back prosperity-this levying
more and more taxes. We also don't
feel that the big fellows are cutting
down their salaries as they should,
taking into account the peoples abu-
ity to pay, especially farmers, and we
think any farmer would be glad to
have one half of what some of our
government employees are getting.
Instead Of thinking up more and
more ways to tax the people we think
1t would be a good idea to have a
moratorium on taxes. But, since we
have to pay, let us think up some
method whereby those best able to
pay taxes are made to pay them, and

ability to do so. On the other hand
the farmer is taxed, not according to
his ability to pay but according to a
set rule that not only penalties him
but is driving him into beggary as
we'll. The simple fact that a man
has farm property is no proof that
property is a profitable investment.
It may be direct liability. Never
theless it is taxed the same, year after
year, and no consideration is given as
to whether or not said farm Is bring
ing its operator enough to warrant
any such tax.
It would seem as though the one
just and fair method Of levying taxes
Is through ability to pay, and upon
this account the farmers taxes should
be lower than those of any other in
dustry. But the truth is the farmer
is being taxed to death. and while
there has been lot of talk there has
actually been little or no benefit so
far.
We believe that q state income tax
law should be enacted and the anti
quated method of taxing real estate
and personal property should be cast
into the discard along with lot of
other old-fashioned laws. We believe
small homes and farms occupied by
their owners should be exempt from
all taxes except income tax, should
their owners income justify that, and
the same should apply to personal

ANSWERS McCARTER
Bismarck, N. D.,
Dec. Is, 1882.

Editor, Tribune:
This Is to explain one of my
trips made to deliver three men In
one trip.-one man from Grand Forks
to jamestown hospital. one man from
Fargo to penitentiary and one from
Valley City to the penitentiary. Now,
Mr.. J. N. McCarter. why didn't you
take this up with the Board Of Ad-
ministration to find out which would
be the cheapest. But no, you would
have this published in the Tribune to
poison the taxpayers mind. Now
which IS cheaper? To have the three
sheriffs each make q trip and charge
it to the state? I made this in one
trip and this is what it cost: 7 cents
per mile. I buy my own car and pay
all cost Of running It, and get IL
cents per mile to bring In each man.
This trip cost the state to deliver the
three men, 1921. And If the three
sheriffs each brought in their man.
1t would be three separate trips
charged to the state: the one from
Grand Forks to Jamestown at 10 cents
per mile would cost the state $40.10;
the sheriff from Fargo to the peni-
Tertiary and back Is 408 miles at 10
cents and expenses 1850: and the
one from Valley City to the peni-
Tertiary and return, 276 miles at 10

cents per mile and expenses, would
be $32.40; so the three men would
cost the state $ll8.10. Now which is
the best for the taxpayer, my bill!
which was paid to deliver three In one
trip for the amount Of $53.21, or the
three sheriffs to collect $118.l0.
The state records show that the
first year there was transportation
officer appointed, the state saved
$4,000. And this is no political plum.
1t IS hard work with nearly every
Sunday on the road. I drove $1,000
miles since the 23rd Of January. Now.
Mr.. ]. N. McCarter, you mentioned
that the transportation officer re-
ceived $14,950.00. This statement is
not true. let the taxpayer be the
Judge. You said the sheriff would be
anxious and willing. and there is no
argument. A sheriff is always willing
to make the trip and get his mileage

so know just axactly what it COST
suppose there was just single man
from your county seat at Steele to be
brought to the penitentiary. Your
sheriff would collect 10 cents per mile
I get seven cents. Would the tax
payer want the sheriff to bring a
prisoner at 10 cents. or the transport
tation officer at cents? You also
said my salary was fixed at $2,4O0 per
year. which is not true. The law
reads that the Board of Administra-
ton shall be the power to fix the SAL

My expenses? must advance them
and must have signed receipt, and
also sign sworn statement before 1

make such statement again that I
get $12,500 for expenses. You also
said, Nov laying all jokes aside, isn't
this a nice. job? Beg pardon. we cam
not class it as a job. for jobs require
that one must work. while in this
case all one has to do is stand
around"
Now Mr. McCarter, I don't stand
around. follow my orders and keep
on working.
I feel sorry for the farmer under
present circumstances for I was on a
farm for "a years myself. and think
it isn't fair to mislead them with un-
truths. You said if a transportation
officer is really necessary we have the
wrong man at the helm. I wish to
contradict this. for have worked al
this job for over three years and nev-
err lost a single man. If you ask your
Representative not to make an appro-
priation the sheriffs couldn't get paid
for the work they did and it would
cost more than it does now, as I ex-
planned before. I got this appoint
ment because had Is years expert

A FARMER ON TAXES
Bismarck, N. D.
Dec. IA, 1882.

Editor, Tribune:
There could be no greater incentive
for a state income tax law than the
editorial printed in the Tribune few
days ago relative to state incomes
wherein it was shown that the farmer
was at the bottom Of the list, and
that his total income was but pit
lance compared to every other in
dustry.
Not only was the farmers income
lower than that of the laborer-it was
less than half what common labor
receives, and when we take into con-
sideration the fact that the farmer
must furnish his entire working equip
ment, must pay taxes on the total
amount of his indebtedness as we'll as
what he owns outright, his condition
is even more to be deplored.
We have been shown that the pro-
fessional class, that is the doctors,
lawyers and dentists with others who
make up that class, receive the largest
incomes. 1t is very doubtful If this
class pays taxes according to their
