as a type-setter in Ohio, and who hae
more recently held consular Office IL

DIR. Abbott, an eminent physician Of
Massachusetts, believes that this country
will be visited by tina. terrible scourage
cholera, and that it is our duty to make
the preparation possible to check the
d sease when 1t reaches our shores. DE-.
Abbott says:
with reference to this preparation, a
word will not be out of season. Food
and drink are, perhaps, the two things
to which each individual should attend.
Let every one avoid. above Ill things,
fruit about which there is a suspicion of
faint. After fruit come vegetables. and
the most extreme caution should be ex-
ercised | recollect about six or seven
years ago reading lengthy discussion
among the medical authorities in France
as the cholic- producing quiilties Of GER
tain class Of green peas. and it was gen
orally admitted that green peas were
source Of considerable danger in time Of
cholera. Among the other things to- be
,schewed, however hard it may seem,
are ice-cream and iced articles of every
kind. As TO intOxicants, you must bear
in mind the fact that they have ten
dency to repress the system; anything
which brings about that result is bad :

thrown out, everyone should give full

Farmers and The Road Taxes.

Why do farmers dislike to hear aAoi t
or TO pay road taxes2 Simply because
they see no improvement Of the roads
after years Of expense. The Winter
and the Spring of this year gave no bet
ter roads than last year, or year before
last, or ten years ago. The money has
been spent. or the labor has been given,
aud the roads remain just as bad as ever
when the rains come or 1e frosts are
disappearing. II something permanent
could be accomplished, taxes would be
chcerfulIy paid. Why not take measures
for building good permanent roads?-
