THREE WEEKS.
Then the Assessors Will Begin 1914
Work.
In less than three weeks the small army
of deputy assessors will start forth with
their pads, pencils, and long list of ques
tion. The business man must leave his
dictation, and the housewife the concoc
tion of an apple pie to converse for an
hour with the suave county representa
tive. He begins his travels the first day
nf March. He has some MSO queries on his
ton(tue or in his pocket.
There will be more deputy assessors
this year than ever before due to the
shortened period allowed for assessment.
This year the county commissioners sit as
a county board of equalization the third
Monday in Ma-' Instead of the first of
June. They hear all appeals from assess
ments at that time. Kach deputy assessor
35 have been appointed already must
file his report by May 1.
No one Is exempt from taxation In

Restores Pleasing Plumpness
Samose Sold Under Geo. W. Stans
lield's "No Cure Xo Pay" Plan.
There are a good many people in To
peka who ardently wish they could find
some way of getting fat and plump.
While not ill, yet they are so thin and
scrawny that their friends think they
cannot be well. In nine cases out of
ten this condition can be readily over
come by using the combination of flesh
forming foods known as Samose. This
little tablet taken three times a day
with the food does wonders in building
up good health and restoring the pleas
ing plumpness that is 00 desirable.
Geo. W. Stausfleld has the agency for
this preparation and sells it with the
promise that if it does not do all that
is claimed for it in making people gain
in weight and in health, the money will
be refunded.
You certainly can afford to try a 50c
box on this plan, as Samose will cost
you nothing unless it gives satisfaction.

PLENTY OF WORK.
Kutz, Acting as Milk Inspector, Finds
Lota to Do.
C. H. Kutz, who is acting as city
milk inspector pending the appointment
of a permanent inspector, is finding
plenty of work collecting fees due the
city. The city ordinance requires that
every person keeping a cow in the city
and selling any amount of milk must
pay a registration fee of 25 cents. This
applies to persons who sell a part of
the product of the family cow. Per
sons making a business of selling milk,
either wholesale or retail, must pay a
monthly peddler's fee ranging from $1
to $20, in proportion to the amount of
milk sold.
The ordinance also requires that the
wagons from which milk, cream or ice
cream are sold must bear the names
of the owner in letters of a certain
size. Provision is also made for tests
of cows to determine whether or not
they are healthy, and as Mr. Kutz is
new to his work he is kept busy.

Discolored, Wrinkled
Skin Easily Removed
(From the Woman Beautiful.)
Since brown or yellow, over-red or
blotchy complexions are decidedly not
the fashion, I cannot understand why
so many continue to wear them.
Surely every woman has heard of
mercolized wax. This I know from
my own and others' experiences will
positively banish -every unsightly
tint. The wax really U-kes off a bad
complexion. It gradually, harmlessly,
absorbs the thin layW of surface skin
with all its defects, as chaps, liver
spots, pimples, freckles, blackheads.
Just as gradually the discarded skin
is replaced by the clear, white, youth
ful skin underneath. Mercolized wax,
procurable at any drug store, is ap
plied nightly like cold cream and
erased mornings with warm water.
One. nunre will nroduce the loveliest
! girlish complexion in less than a fort
night.
I can't understand, either, why
folks will be bothered with wrinkles,
since the famous saxolite formula has
become public property. One ounce
of powdered saxolite dissolved in a
half-pint witch hazzel, makes a wash
lotion that will quickly efface every
line, even the deepest. Adv.

"The Divorce Question," the human
interest P'ay by William Anthony Mc
Guire. under the direction of Wingfleld
and Ridings, will be seen at the Grand
tonight. The solution of our present
day marital troubles is not in making
divorce easy or obtainable but in mak
ing marriage more difficult.
The marriage ties are not sufficiently
binding, with the existence of the pres
ent day divorce laws and the union fre
quently becomes more of a moral tie
than a legal one dependent more on
the honor of the parties concerned.
When, however, that quality is lack

union, a deplorable condition is mani
