Leaves Kidneys in Weakened
Condition
Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are often very distressing and
leave the system in a run down con
dition. particularly the kidneys which
seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and
hrincrv troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to dangerous kidney trou
bles. Druggists report a largo sale on
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so
many people say soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys after an at
tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and,
being an herbal compound, has u gen
tle healing effect on the kidneys, which
is almost immediately noticed in most
cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer

Why Is POSTUM
Replacing Coffee?
People are waking up to the harmful effects of the powerful drug —
caffeine —in coffee, which poisons the system, often resulting in nervousness,
heart flutter, headache, biliousness and many other ills and discomforts.
The pure food-drink, Postum, is absolutely drug-free —made only of the
choicest wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses. It contains no caffeine or
other harmful elements.
I
If you doubt that coffee hurts you, a sure test is to leave it off for 10
days and use Postum. It's an easy change, too, for Postum tastes much like
the mild, high-grade Javas. —As the coffee-drug is eliminated from your sys
tem, your own feelings will suggest Postum and better health.
Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum —must be boiled, 15c and
25c packages; Instant Postum —soluble form, made in the cup with hot water
instantly, 30c and 50c tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious, and the cost per.cup is about the same.

is really the big bugaboo.
"Here in llarrisburg our school tax
rate is eight and one-half mills, on an
assessed valuation of $49,000,000. But
note this. Our teachers alone receive
$271,295.50 or 6.54 mills; sinking fund,
State tax on Bonds and interest, $90,-
09S, or J. 84 mills; janltorß, $27,395, or
.56 mills, -this, as you readily see, al
lows the board but .56 mills with
which to purchase all supplies, keep
up repairs, establish new schools, pro
vide additional teachers—everything
else that goes toward making the sys
tem that is tlie demand of the day.
Our methods are supposed to be quite
extravagant when compared with the
city budget, which is builded on a
nine and one-half mill basis. How
foolish the comparison. The school
district has but few sources of reve
nue, viz: taxes, State appropriation,
tuition and Interest, the latter two
Items being very insignificant. The
city has a host of liberal contributors
in the licenses of many kinds, permits
of every description, water rent, etc.
So It can readily be seen that when
one compares $47 4,467.15 received
from all sources by the school dis
trict with $1,127,110.36 received from
all sources by the city, from April 6
to January 1, the comparison becomes
absolutely ridiculous.
Assessment Viciously Wrong
".Vow what Is the answer? 1 can
and will tell you. The assessed valua
tion of property is criminally unfair
and viciously wrong. Just think of
the taxable property in a city like
llarrisburg. with all the improvements
seen everywhere you go, placed at
$49,000,000. II should lie at least twice
that much, if the spirit of equity were
manifest. Jn a growing section of our
city, well within the city limits, there
is a plot of ground, ten acres In area,
assessed at $1,850 per acre. Quite near
to this Is another section of eighteen
acres assesed at $1,250 per acre; and
then again comes fifty-two acres at
$1,500 an acre. You cannot buy an
inch of this land for less than $5,000
per acre. On a portion of one of the
above plots, a lot 126x190 feet, upon
which is an old farmhouse that has
been remodeled. This portion of the
land, with its improvements, is assess
ed at $9,300. With a little mathema
tics you will find that about one-half
acre is valued at one-half the value of
the entire fourteen acres, or a fair]
value ratio of one to six. Along one!
of our semiimportant thoroughfares is
a plot that is assessed at $7,900. One
of our city commissioners was asked,
not so long ago, the sunt of $20,000
for this ground. I have another plot
in mind, containing fifty-four acres,
and It has been burdened with the
alarming valuation of $27,000, or SSOO
per acre. Now just one more, In the
center of the city. A certain property
has an assessed valuation of $11,375.
I know it to be a fact that a second
mortgage was recorded upon this
holding, not so very long ago, for
$20,000.
Small Properly Owner "Soaked"
"This is 'looking through the glass
darkly.' On the other hand, the small
property owner, the individual who
has by thrift and economy accumulat
ed sufficient money to buy a little
home, is assessed almost full value,
and, in many cases, more than could
be realized through the sale of his
property. The property of the smaller
owner, as a rule, is valued by a far
higher standard than that of liis
wealthy neighbor. It is no wonder
that In their desperation they should
attempt to stein the current, in ignor
ance of the impossibility of the task.
"The only solution, to this rather
complex and annoying situation is the
adoption of a fair and equitable as
sessment, on an honest business prin
ciple—State-wide, if possible, for the
more far-reaching its extent, the more
satisfactory the results. There Is also
need of a careful revision of the ex
emptions that are universally granted,
and certainly a more practical and
effective way of reaching the non
property owner, who enjoys all the
privileges of a public school system,
in many cases not paying a penny to
wards its maintenance, and, at most,
only one dollar per year, in avoiding
the payment of which he becomes the
'artful dodger.'
'•But one conclusion can be reach
ed. The burden of taxation is being
borne by the middle class. My idea is.
that one of two courses be pursued,
the object being to lower the mill rate
of taxation. It seems to me that a
full value assessment on land and im
provements would be a logical and ef
fective way to solve the problem. An
other way, not quite no practical, but
certainly more lair than the present
system, would be to ascertain the
earning or productive powers of the
land, plus improvements, and assess
the value on the basis of an invest
ment bearing ten per cent, interest.
This plan has been in practice in some
of the larger cities and from all ac
counts works out very well.
"I have another little matter in con
nection with our affairs that causes no
little concern, namely, the question of
auditing the books of the district. Be
fore the passage of the code the city
controller acted as the auditor of the
district and performed his duties to
the satisfaction of everybody. We
were so well satisfied that the local
school board went on record as be
ing opposed to changing the system,
by presenting a petition to that effect
to the framcrs of the code. Our ef
forts were futile, and now for the re
sult. The court appoints auditors who
report to the court: the school board
pays the bill. Under the old order of
things the audit cost the district S6OO
per year, and was usually ready the
day the year closed. Not a murmur;
everybody satisfied.
"In very many cases the auditors
appointed by the courts are not men
familiar with the keeping of books,
and therefore have had no experience I
In the methods used, especially in sec- |
ond class districts. Their unfamlliar
ity with accounts leads them into i
many errors and Into cumbersome!
methods of procedure. It is my opin- 1
ior. that this work should be done by
expert accountants, or by an auditing
company, and If the courts are to con
tinue to appoint, the code should be so
amended as to provide that only ex
pert accountants, properly certified,
or an auditing company, should be ap
pointed." I
HOW TO GET RID OF
OF DYSPEPSIA
'Don't Rely on Medicine; Don't Go
I on Freak Diet; Common Sense
j and an Antacid Usually All
That Are Needed
I "If you have dyspepsia, indigestion,
sour stomach, belching, distress after
eating, heartburn or any other stomach
trouble due to hpyeracidlty (the usual
cause of stomach troubles), you should
take no medicine to act upon the stom
ach Itself. That is positively not th.'
way to cure the trouble. Again, you
should not half starve yourself by
going without the nutritious food that
you need to rebuild waste tissues. Some
foods are not good for people even
when in perfect health—very rich,
sweet, highly seasoned dishes. Avoid
these, but eat fairly substantial meals
of plain foods. Eat slowly. Even if
you drink nothing but water, you
should not drink with meals. Drink
before and after eating. Do not take
pepsin or other artificial digestants. If
you follow tlie foregoing simple in
structions It is probable that you will
r.ot need any medicine at all except,
if you want to call it medicine, a little
antacid after meals. The best antacid
is ordinary bisurated magnesia which
can be purchased at any drug store.
This is not to act upon the stomach but
on the contents of the stomach. The>
antacid, as you can learn by consulting
