A Cry From Nature

A WARNING THAT SHOULD BE HEEDED BY EVERY SUFFERER. Nature soon rebels when , the hnman machinery is out of order. Her appeals for help should be quickly answered. Life rs too short and dear tp us to neglect our health. When the system becomes run down, tbe blood impure, the liver torpid, nerves all on a quiver, and thektomach refuses to do its work, then natnre utters her warning note. It may be a sick headache, nervousness, dyspepsia, catarrh, loss of appetite, insomnia, languor, constipation, but is natures signal of distress. The human machine should be attended to without delay. The system needs building up, the impurities must be driven from the blood, the liver made tp do its work and the stomach placed in a natural healthy condition.

Knox Stomach Tablets are a new combination of vegetables remedies compounded by one of the best chemiists in the world;, .and are guaranteed to build up the whole system. They do not act as a stimulate, but are a sarsaparilla j in a tablet form, containing twice the medicinal properties of any other combination of remedies know. They give health and strength to the entire body and immediate releive indigestion and positively cure dyspepsia. A single box will prove their power to cure chronic invalids and make them strong, healthy men and women. If unable to secure Knox Stomach Tablets of your druggist, send fifty cents to the Knox Chemical Co., Battle Creek, Mich, and a full sized package will be sent postpaid.

ALL the Road and Bridge Tax and ONE-HALF of all other takes make the FIRST INSTALLMENT and must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in May, 1901. ONE-HALF of all taxes,.' except Road and Bridge, constitute the SECOND INSTALLMENT, and must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in November, 1901. Failure to pay the First installment when due makes both installments delinquent and attaches a penalty of ten per cent to the full amount. Thesx>nditions prevailing are such that the Treasurer CAN NOT make and hold receipts for any one. Please do not ask it. Provisions of Law Relating to Taxation. "The owner of property on the first day of April of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of April shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL Property as well as Real Estate should remember that “TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY when the taxes thereon remain unpaid.” “COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.” “It is the duty of the TAX PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires to nay taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from the tax-payer’s omission to so state. The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of April of that year and remains unchanged for the year as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day of April of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes. Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated such as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid rush of the last few days, as it requires time to make the divisions and separate receipts. ROAD RECEIPTS MUST be presented in payment of FIRST INSTALLMENT. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY of FEBRUARY, 1901. R. A.
