GOOD VS., BAD ROADS.
The Sentiment in Favor Of Good Roads
Growing.

Improved roads in Henry county
have had fair test, and the univer-
sal opinion is that they are success.
But few townships in the county have
taken advantage of the law which
makes it possible to have good roads,
but those townships that have are
well satisfied with results This being
the case, the good work should not
be allowed to lag, but the ball kept
rolling until every prominent high
way in the county is either gravel
ed or stoned.
An exchange speaking upon the
subject of good roads, says: Citizens
generally are beginning to come to a
partial comprehension of the import
ance of good roads. They realize that
their cost is but small fraction of
their value. In the matter alone of
the wear and tear of vehicles, well
paved road will more than return the
cost of its construction. This does
not take into account the comfort of
riding over good road, the protec-
Jlon to horses, the great time saved
in travel, the opportunity to haul
larger loads and to travel upon the
roads at all seasons of the year, thus
enabling the farmer to market his
produce at times when he could not
otherwise get into the towns and the
cities, times often when the markets
are the best. During the summer
months and at other seasons, while
the common dirt roads are firm and
are fit for travel, the farmer is the
busiest, and he has the least time to
go to market. With well paved roads
he could do all his hauling to and
from the city during the winter and
at such other times as his farm was
unfit to work. The benefits that re-
suit to every community from well
paved roads are so numerous and so
great that very soon they will be con-
structed in every section characteriz-
ed by progress and thrift. The bene-
fits that result from system of good
roads are experienced both in the city
and the country.
So far but four townships in the
county have voted for improved
roads, namely: Napoleon, Freedom,
Ridgeville and Flatrock. Other town.
ships should follow the good work
commenced by these four townships
While it is true that everybody is
benefited by good roads, yet the
farmers are the ones most benefited
therefore they should be the ones
most interested. While some farmers
have taken much interest in the build.
ing of good roads. as class they
have held back and retarded the good
work. But many such have experl.
enced a change in this respect, and
now the sentiment in favor of good
roads is more pronounced than ever
Improved roads leading from the
county seat into Mcclure, Malinta
Hamler and Deshler, would be of in
estimable value to these communities
somuch so that every dollar spent fol
good roads would be returned ter
fold.
Give us more improved roads.

WONDERFUL SCENT.
A Sportsman Tells Some Marvel.
Things About the Powers Of a
Setter Dog.

Things About the Powers Of a
Setter Dog.
"The scenting power of well-bred, we'll
trained setter dog is something wholly be-
yond conception" said sportsman to a
reporter Friday, land the marvellous exhi
billions they give of this power can hardly
be credited.
"Who would believe a dog going good
gallop, with dead bird IN his mouth, could
scent live bird on the ground several yards
to one side of is course? And YET there
are few sportsmen who have not seen a dog
point live bird with a dead bird in his
mouth. 1t would seen as if the scent of the
bird so near his nose would prevent he dog
from scenting another bird of the same va
riety lying close in the grass several yards
from him. A man with bunch of roses in
his face would not pretend he could smell of
similar flowers a fool away, If he did. no
one would believe him.
fYet there is no doubt about the ST Ter
being able to smell and point live birds while
he holds dead bird III his mouth. He goes
further than this. He points dead bird on
the ground with dead bird in his mouth,
and he knows the instant that he feels the
scent that it is dead bird. This fact he
expresses in his manner of pointing, and if
it is wounded bird he knows that, too, and
indicates the fact. Most dogs are taught to
point stanchly h live bird, and not to point
dead bird. The dog will go at full spt ed
right up to his dead bird and never pause a
moment. If there is live bird near he will
point that stanchly, and the promptness and
Certainty of his decisions show that the in
stant he catches the scent he knows whether
the bird is alive or dead. He makes a dis
tinction, too, between a dead bird, a live
bird and wounded bird. He points the
wounded bird differently from what he does
the live bird, and usually springs in and
catches it. What there is about wounded
birds scent that he can recognize instantly
is puzzle to everyone who has thought
of the quss ion,'

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafnesf is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
lion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which, is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
