VKKASUIIER'S OFFICE CROWDED
LIKE DAHGAIN COUNTER
WILL CELEBRATE TIIEIll
(10th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Tho county treasurer's office these
daya resembles, In activity, the bar
gain counter In a big department
store. The reason for this activity Is
duo to the fact that the 1919 personal
tax was duo November 1st and be
oamo delinquent yesterday, and tax
payers are anxious to evade .thtftyiay
uient of the ten per cent'-? penalty
which Is attached after Docombor
first Yesterday forenoon County
Treasurer Souder predicted that not
less than 300 receipts would bo writ
ion beforo the closo of the day's busi
ness.
The payment of this personal tax
has been In progress since November
first, ana during last month the col
lections aggregated one hundred and
eighty-four thousand dollars, this In
cluding tho $130,000 paid by the Union
Pacific and Burlington railroads.
UnlesB this personal tax Is paid on
or before February first, Treasurer
Souder will bo required by law to ls
suo distress warrants. This Is an ac
tion he does not like to take, but the
law makes it mandatory for him so to
do.

Rheumatism
Health Talk No. 27 by Drs. States
Walt Mason says there are
9,584 cures for rheumatism,
that he has tried them all and
still has his rheumatism. .His
experience, however, has been
with pills and potions, mud
baths and mineral water.
There is rheumatism of the
face the arms and the legs, and
each of these kinds may have a
different spinal cause, in fact
there is nothing known that so
well explains ,.the different va
rieties of rheumatism as chiro
practic. Spinal adjustments that re
store the purifying power of
the blood strike at the very
heart of the condition called
rheumatism. Other methods
which do not get at and remove
tho cause can hardly be of
more than temporary benefit.
