R&nfinr .85 Mu..e.., #iS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN - ADVERTISING BY THE lummu-y of iblished GEN!BAL OFFICES < NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES If the taxable real and personal property in Minnesota were distribu- ted-evenly among the 2,250,000 in- habitants of the state, each man, wo- man and child would have approxi- mately $1,218 worth to his credit. This is shown by figures gathered by the state tax commission. Last year the total assessed valuation of real and personal property aggregated $1,370,000,000. This at the most is not more than 60 per cene of the ac- tual value of the property listed. Using this proportion as a basis for the estimate of the true value it is found to be $2,745,000,000, and di- viding by 2,250,000 the result is $1,218. These figures do not take into consideration the assessment for moneys and credits, which in 1913 was $156,000,000. This, however, is not more than 26 per cent of the value of these two items. Using this proportion as a basis the total would be swelled by $624,000,000, and in- crease the $1,218 per capita by $277, making the total really $1,495. Make the Lesson General. The State of Minnesota carries its own fire risks upon the structures it owns and Insurance Commissioner Preus has sent out to the several su- perintendents of buildings instruc- tions concerning the reduction of fire waste, by which alone the system can be made “going.” These instrue- tions deal only with the commonpla- ces of fire prevention and are simple #nd practical. Reduced to their lowest terms they caution superin- tendents to eliminate those accum- ulatlons of waste and refuse which are the chief and commonest causes of fires, says the St. Paul Ploneer Press. The same instructions should run to superintendents of buildings generally and in such cases instruec- tions should be followed up with in- spections to see that they are car- ried out. Fire waste in the large majority of cases, means nothing more than carelessness and negli- gence. Most fires are easlly pre- ventable. They are the result of the neglect of the most ordinary precau- tion. People generally are being educated up to the simplicity of the prevention and its efficacy, but the lesson cannot be too frequently or too strongly impressed. If the ratio of fire waste were to be carried through business generally the re- sult would be appalling. Through fires the public submits to a cost which if offered in any other form would arouse a storm of indignant protest. And yet no cost is so easily under control as this unnecessary one of fire waste.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache is a sign you have besn eating too much meat, which forms uric apid. When you wake up with: backache and dull ‘misery in the kidney region it gen- erally means you have ‘been” eating too much meat, says a well-known authority, Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body’s urinous waste, :lsq you llmve backache, sick headache, izzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue in conted, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sedjment, channels ofven get sore, water scalds and you are obhfed to seek relief two or three times duri the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi- cian at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salfs; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your || kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of and lemon juice, combined with fi!fla, and has been used for genenhon to ¢lean and stimulate sly, utralize acids mst‘i:e unna 80 if rritates, thus ending b)-ddu Jad.
