The city council spent three weeks, meet
Ing almost nightly as a hoard of review,
during which tlmo It Increased materially
tbo nj.sc3.menl as returned by City As
ecc.ior Everest, and then !n nbout as many
hours timlld Its work, with tho result that
the total assortment will fall short about
J&0.C00 of tho original assessment as tnado
by Rvcrcjt. Of this nimunt 860,000 repre
sents tho exemptions lo which the old
soldiers nro, entitled by law and the baltnco
lr. made up. of reductions In the assess
ments made by tho board.
Tho rtolny caused by the board's nitlon
will prevent City Assessor Everest having
hlc bcol.s ready for tho board of super
visors at Us meeting on June 3. Assessor
Everest stntod yestorday that ho had listed
r largo amount of property which ho had
discovered since his report to the board of
review, K) that he thinks tho total assess
ment will not bo much below that reported.
Tho total aioessmctit Inst year was about
J3.30O.C0O and this year Assessor Everest
citliuatcR It will bo between $3,500,000 and
?3,600,000. He has not footed up IiIb books
yet, so Is unable to glvo tho exact figures.
Mayor Jennings Is not at all satisfied with
tho action of tho toard In practically re
ducing again nil the assessments after It
had raised them to what was considered a
fair and cnultnblo figure. Ho designated It
as child's play. Owners of real estate tako
cxeoptlon alto to the board's nctlon In
falling to ns3cas moneys and eredltB. They
clnlm that the failure to do so leaves the
burden of taxation on tho shoulders of the
prisons who own real estate, which U
assessed for Its full value. Tho burden,
thoy say, falls especially on the person who
owns a small home.
Ono property owner In discussing the
matter yestorday said: "I sco no reason why
stocks of goods that could bo turned Into
monoy within thirty days at tho most should
bo assessed at only 20 per cent of their
value, whllo real estate Is assessed at Its
full value. Real cstato cannot bo sold for
Its full vnluo in the same time or like a
stock of goods can." He also said that ho
could not understand the action of tho
board In reducing assessments when no
protest had been filed, as has been done In
nt least one case.

After Mr. Herrlott had been given au

For a while my efforts nppeared fruitless.
But 1 had an abiding faith that wrong

Scrofula
Scrofula is an unwelcome legacy, but one which
the children of blood poisoned parentage must
accept, with nil its humiliating consequences. Jt is
an inheritance that makes one poorer; that brings
wretchedness and disease instead of health and
riches, for the child whose ancestral blood is tainted
with Scrofula or the loathsome virus of Contagious
Blood Poison is unfitted for the arduous duties of
life so long as any of the transmitted poUon remains
in its veins. Scrofula manifests itself in various forms ; swollen glands about the
neck and throat, catnrrh of the head, weak eyes, hip bone disease, white swelling
and offensive sores and abscesses are familiar symptoms, attended usually with
loss of strength, poor digestion and pale or bloodless complexion. The akin is
sometimes most dreadfully affected, eruptions breaking out on all parts of the body.
Scrofula destroys bone, tissue and flesh ; no part of the human system escapes its

MBS, RICHARD WA8SON,
Oolden Oornora, Ohio,
Parents whose blood is pois
oned by their own misdeeds,
or who themselves may be
suffering for the sins of some
remote ancestor, must re
store their own blood to its
normal purity and strength,
or they cannot expect
healthy, robust children.
S. S. S. cures Scrofula, like
other diseases of a deep
seated, constitutional charac
ter, bv restoring life and
urltv to the nrofoundlv poisoned blood, nnd the rich, stronir blood that is carried
o the swollen aud diseased elands absorbs aud destrovs the tuberculous deposits.
anu me painiui, msngunng sores ana oiaer evidences of hcronua disappear,
S. S. S. should ue begun immediately upon the appearance of the first symp
toms, or where there is a known predisposition to Scrofula. Our medical depart
ment will be found of great help to those who are struggling with this wasting
disease of heredity or any other blood trouble, nnd we invite you to write us.
Should you or any member of your family need advice, our physicians will cheer
fully give the information you desire, for which we make ao charge. Book on

The beer that made
Milwaukee famous
You drink some beers that cause bilious headache. Perhaps
you think that all beers do.
The cause of biliousness is the lack of age -too much haste
to put the beer on the market. To ferment beer thoroughly
requires a process of months. Without it the fermentation takes
place in your stomach. That is the cause of biliousness.
Hurried beer is ttnhealthful. Schlitz beer is kept for months
in refrigerating rooms with a capacity of 265,000 barrels kept
almost at freezing point until it is well fermented. Schlitt beer is
never marketed until thoroughly aged.
