MANY are predisposed tc lung
troubles from birth, yet even such may
escape from consumption or other pull
monary or bronchial disease by the
use of DIR. Bigelow's Positive Cure.
Due care should be taken to promptly
treat all recent coughs and colds as
they arise. This standard remedy al
lays any irritation and inflammation
which may exist, and by promoting
easy expectoration cleanses the lungs
of substances which clog them up.
which, if allowed to remain in the
lungs, would rapidly destroy them.
DIR. Bigelow's Cure has produced the
the largest number of cures of throat,
lung, and bronchial troubles of any
cough medicine in the market, and is
the only thing which cures consump-
ton. The tifty-cent bottle will cure the
worst case of recent cough or cold.
We would advise the dollar bottle for
chronic cases or family use: there is
economy in the large size. Get q bot
tie to-day and have it in your house.

Improving the ROs d..

The spring time will som be upon MS
when the subject Of improving the public
reads will again he up Tor consideration by
commissioners Of highways, overseers and
other highway authorities.
In Illinois we have two systems of work.
ing roads, one called the money system and
the other the labor system, the latter being
where the highways are worked by those
against whom labor tax or property road
tax Is assessed, the other being where the
property read tax Is required to be paid In
money and expended under the direction
of the commissioners of highways of the
town. BY the present road law, which
took effect on the LIST of July, 1888, all
towns of the state were placed under the
money system, no town having the labor
except by vote thereof at town meeting
The law was afterwards, at the session OF
1885, 20 amended that towns that had
adopted the labor system could abolish the
same and return 10 the money system by
petition and vote of the people at town
meetings.
The people In towns under township
organization should bear In mind that
when they are working under the money
system they can. by vote at town meeting,
on fifteen days notice previous thereto,
determine by ballot. for or against charge
into the labor system; where they are
under the labor system and desire TO change
TO the money system, they can change to
that system In the same manner.
1t was supposed at the time the present
road law was enacted, that the people of
the state would by the time have sufficient.
ly tested the two system Of working roads,
50 that one system OF the other would
have become general throughout the state;
but, so far as can he learned, so little at
tention has been paid to roads matters,
either by the people or commissioners of
highways of the towns, that no very gener
al or decided conclusion has been reached
ON this subject, and the public mind con,
corning the same continues TO remain IN a
sort of chaotic condition. 1t would be Il
very excellent thing If the people of the
towns under township organization would
arouse such general interest on this sub
ject that a uniform policy may be introduc-
ed throughout the state, either for the
money system or the labor system.
So far as any expression can be gathered,
the opinion seems to prevail that In towns
where there are efficient commissioners of
highways, the money system of working
roads has proven more satisfactory to the
people. In such case, they have some
assurance that their money will be proper.
