THE TAX THAT COUNTS.

1,ooo,0oo,oo0 tons of freight. Every year
the amount increases. Every pound of
this freight is carted and carried over
our roads and streets before it gets to
the railroads; millions of tons are
hauled in wagons and sold in the coun-
try towns and consumed by the local
buyer. Here is the farmers end of it;
hay, 54,000.000 tons-think of hauling
54,o0o,000 loads of hay to market on
roads like that; 9O,OOOOOO tons Of
cereals; 100000 tons OF potatoes; e.
100000 tons of cotton; total, 152, 900, 900
tons, not counting the mud on the
wagon wheels.
''The road and the wagon are the twin
handmaidens of agriculture that at
tend the farmer on every journey to
market and they are forever at odds
with each other. If the man who sold
that wagon to the farmer had tried to
sell that road torhim, homicide would
have become virtue; 1872 O0O,O00 tons Of
produce; $5o0,0o0,000 paid for farm i'm
plements and machinery to harvest it
with; ,200,OOO,00O invested in farm
horses and mules to drag it to market.
Think of it! Think of being director
in corporation with that amount of
business on hand, with countless mil
lions of paid-up capital invested, and
think of doing business in mortar
bed! Think of waiting for the mud to
dry up! Sixteen million horses and
mules idle in the stables; 100000 a
day for horse feed; s2s,0CO,OoO week.
Think of the loss of time and labor, the
dwarfed and shrunken values of our
farms, of the slack supply and good
prices, when the roads are impossible.
Think of the procession of farmers that
rush to town and glut the market in
the first days of dry weather, and think
of the paltry prices they get when every
body is Trying to sell to an overstocked
market"

Fruits and Vegetables In Which It Il
Mainly Practlced.
Recent Investigations by the depart
ment of agriculture of the state OF
Pennsylvania on the amount of food
adulteration lead to some interesting
results. A conservative estimate
places the value of the food consumed
by the citizens of the state at S4pO..
100000, and if to this amount is added
the average estimate of adulteration,
it follows that there is lost through this
means $2O,OOO,OOO.
The examinations made by the de.
partment make it evident that the fol-.
lowing items will mainly cover the
worst forms of adulteration: The use OF
salicylic acid in the preparation Of
fruit jams, catsup, ETC.; in such cases
it is introduced for the purpose of pre-
venting fermentation, and when eaten
and it has entered the digestive organs,
it prevents to an appreciative extent the
proper functions of digestion. Of the
samples of buckwheat -four tested, but
two were found pure. Three-fifths Of
the samples of cheese selected for an
alysis proved to be filled cheese''-the
milk had been SKINNED, the cream
used for other purposes, and foreign
fats, not butter, had been added with
the intent of making up the deficiency.
OF the samples of mustards, two-thirds
were found to be adulterated. Ground
spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper,
ginger, etc., are seldom pure. Many
fruit jams, especially those claiming to
be strawberry and raspberry, were
found to consist largely of starch paste,
with only enough fruit, in some cases.

called French peas were found to con-

w orn with the exposure of army life on
The frontier, and poisoned by the continual
drinking OF alkali water Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
broken down in health and unable to do
any work.
He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
tight with the Indians in Arizona and other
frontier States and had won an eESiable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
lmo, the famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched
by redskins bullet OR arrow, and Mr. Fle-
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously I'LL, but he stuck to his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the Indian
tighter was scarcely more than skin and
bones, and for three weeks he lay desperate

stomach felt as if it had dried up: These
symptoms were accompanied by bloody
dysentely, which no medicine seemed to re-
lieve. <ts I.t-E J

came to New York and was treated bv sew

In speaking to a reporter about his illness
Mr. .Flegauf said the doctors helped him,
but, with all the money he spent for advice
and medicine, he was able to work only a
small part of the time. Since moving to
his present home, No SIT West Forty-sec-
ond Street, in New York, about a year ago,
Mr.. :Flegauf has been so i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the sick
man had little hope of recovery, At this
critical time DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were recommended to Mr. Fle-
gauf, and, almost as a last hope, he began
taking them.

claim that the school teachers of the
State of Ohio are inferior to those of
the State of Wisconsin. or that the
average graduate of the Indiana State
Normal at Terre Haute is superior to
the average graduate of the private
Normal at Valparaiso?
The statement put forth by the Kinks
Vile Normal that Normal Schools can
not long be sustained by private enter
prise is false, for we have fourishing
private Normals in this State and all
over the country.
From the information we have OBJ
tanned we learn that the facts in regard
to the Normal School lobby are more
disreputablc than we had at first sup
posed. The Presidents of the three
State Normals were away from their
schools in attendance upon the legisla-
ture for days together last winter, for
the purpose of securing appropriations
and preventing the legislature from
granting any recognition to the private
Normals of the State. They fought
every proposition to place their gradu-
ates upon the same footing rs those OF
the private Normals. They would
listen to no proposition for applying
the same tests TO the graduates of both
public and private institutions, pre-
liminary to the granting of life certifi-
Gates. This opposition was based
upon the distinct ground that if il
could be shown that the work they
were doing could be as well done by
private enterprise, their appropriations
would cease. We are informed that
this Normal School lobby of presidents,
regents, and their paid agents, were
more clamorous than the much-de-
nounced railroad lobby. and that on
one occasion their opportunities be-
came so great that they had to be re,
