TO WHOM IT? MAY CONgKK.Y
Dear Editor: Since I have seen so
many delinquent tax payers advertised
In our county paper I wish to have
just a few words.
I wish to he well understood la the
beginning, lhsve the highest esteem
tor all of our officers from township
Constable to Governor of our state be.
cause I helped to put all of them in
office.
Just e few weeks ago there were
advertised two pages In our county
paper of land for county tanas: Last
week there were about the same de.
liuquents advertised. I wish to know
who la to blame for all of this?
If It is neceeaary for somf tfrpagr
taxes it la necessary for all., lfjja. W
not compulsory tor all to pay taxes
It la not for some.
The delinquent occupies jqet* as
much space on the highway as any of
us and tn some casee more spa eg. He
occupies just as many deeka In pur
school rooms, and he Is . entitled to
them. But please ,for God's sake let
ill of us who are .eligible of paying
taxes be fed just ana' '"? VV
I see in the last meeting of our
Commissioners that they had .t?,%or
rcw money to meet-their obltftaMens
until new taxes could be cojlsplnd.
Who is to pay the interest an these
loans? We faithful taxpayers who go
up and pay our taxes and only. sax,
they are so high I don't see how we
can pay them. Yea they are high hod
will be so long as we have to pay for
the man who doee not pay at all.
I just wish to know to there some
retnedy tor this? If so I wish to see
it put into efTect and I Wttnve there
are gther tax payers who Would like
to see- the same.

statement that about two pages of
land was advertised for taxes. Tllere
was only a small number over one

stomach trouble and indigestion are,
nearly always due to acidity?acid
stomach?and not, as most folks bll'
Here from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro,
chloric acid In the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta
tion; then our meals sour like gar
bage in a can, forming acid fluids
and gases, which inflate the stomach
like a toy ballbon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we
erucate sour food, belch gas or have
heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all dlges.
tive aids and Instead get from any
pharmacy two' .tablespoonfuls In a
glass* of water before breakfast and
-continue for a week. While relief
| often follows the first dose, It is im
portant to neutralise the acidity, re.
more the gas making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
