To unquestionably prove to the
people that indigestion and dys-
pepsia can be permanently re-
lieved and that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets will bring about this re-
sult, we will furnish the. medi-
cine absolutely free if it fails to
give satisfaction to any one us-
ing it.
The remarkable sueccss of Hex-
all Dyspepsia Tablets is due to
the high degree of scientific skill
used in devising their formula as
well as to the care exercised in
their manufacture, whereby the
well-known properties of His-
muth-Subnitrate and Pepsin have
been combined with Carminatives
and other agents.
fiismuth-Subnitrate and Pepsin
are constantly employed and rec-
ognized by the entire medicine
profession as invaluable in the
treatment of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets is carefully pre-
pared so as to develop its great-
est efficiency. Pepsin supplies
to the digestive apparatus one
of the most important elements
of the digestive fluid. Without
it the digestion and assimilation
of food are impossible.
The Carminatives possess prop-
erties which aid in relieving the
disturbances and pain caused by
undigested food. This combina-
tion of these ingredients makes
a remedy invaluable for the com-
plete relief of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that
we urge you ot try Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets on our own per-
sonal guarantee. Three sizes, 25
cents, 50 cents and .tl.OO. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall
Remedies only at our store—The

AL ANV SURPLUS
ST.'i.Mt.M
Facing a situation of possibly
suspended payment of all State
taxes levied against railroad com-
panies for the fiscal year ending
June, 1912, the State Board of
Equalization, which was due to
act upon the automatic tax law
of 1910 and fix railroad valua-
tions, adjourned their session to-
day without doing so. Attorney
General West will endeavor to
get the matter before the Su-
preme Court for a decision which
will guide the board and steer
the State away from breakers
that have been so disastrous in
other State corporation tax
levies.
The difficulty arises over word-
ing of tlie automatic tax law en-
acted by the Second Legislature
wherein Sec. 8 says there "is
to be applied to the payment of
the ordinary expenses of the
State Government a tax in lieu
of all other taxes for State pur-
poses."
The act did not become opera-
tive until this existing year. The
board has already made a 2-mill
levy upon the value of all pub-
lic service corporations. there-
fore, it concluded, that if it pro-
ceeded under the automatic law,
railroad property might be taxed
twice for the same purpose. At-
torney General West believes the
act to mean "in addition" ad
valorum taxes, and "in lieu" of
all forms of special taxes, ruch
as gross revenue, income, etc
as applied to railroad companies
only. The two-mill levy made
by the board last month the At-
torney General says is not a
State tax, but is a general tax
for all purposes within the mean-
ing of the law. Railroad com-
panii s are classified und< r the
new law and pay taxes accord-
ing to the amount of business
done during the year and if the
statute is upheld their toll of
the State will be about fit) per
cent of what they are required to
pay under the ad valorem system.
The first suit was brought by
the .Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf
Railroad Company in the District
Court of Pittsburg County, con-
tending that the automatic law
was the propero ne to apply, but
the court held the statute to be
unconstitutional. Five suits had
been filed in other counties and
Judges of those districts gather-
ed at McAlester for arguments,
following which they sustained
the State's demurrer to the plead-
ings, but failed, to assign reas-
ons or to pass upon the constitu-
tionality. One ot' these suits is
now pending in the Supreme
Court.
Since the railroad companies
themselves differ on which law
is correct, the board feared that
action before the question was
determined by the courts might
result in injunctional suits which
would suspend payment of
both levies, so it decided to de-
lay the matter.
