Paint Your Cheeks

Glow Of Good Health
keep Normal with
PasteuriSed Fresh Milk

Pure, fresh pasteurized milk is "beau-
tifer" as we'll as health builder. 1t does
more than any other single food to keep the
diet properly balanced. Thus it is a real
help in warding off nervous and digestive
upsets that cause blemishes.
Claim for your own the loneliness of good
health. Seek it with milk every day
three times a day. Milk contains all the
necessary food elements :. it is neither
fattener nor, shall we say, a contractor,
but great natural balancer. Drink it reg
ularly and insist on pasteurized fresh
milk.

Taxes During Week
Urges Continued Payment Before
Foreclosure Lists Are Docketed
In ONCE Of Clerk

County Auditor Jones Barker is
very much pleased with the rapid
payments that are being made on
the back taxes, lists of which are
being made ready for the starteing
Of foreclosure proceedings. Mr..
Barker says that he has collected
several thousand dollars during the
past week and he feels assured that
the delinquent lists can be cut down
to q very small size if those on
them would make a final effort to
get Aeven with the board.
If foreclosures are docketed in
the Office of the Clerk of the Court,
there is a cost of $1,000, and if the
foreclosure is completed there is
cost Of $500 before it may be re-
deemed. Due to these heavy penal
ties, every taxpayer who plans to
ever pay his back taxes should do
50 before he has to pay this addi-
tiona1 sum.
The present tax rates are low
enough to enable taxpayers to keep
taxes paid up once they have paid
those that are in arrears.
