Some Points on Road I'm
provenent.

The country roads of the United
States are probably in worse condition
than in any other thoroughly civilized
country. This is not due altogether
to neglect or lack of material but is
due somewhat to the undeveloped con-
dition of the country in general. The
cost of primary transportation, to the
railroads, in rural districts is often
greater than the remaining transpor-
tation of hundreds Of miles. In many
cases the expense of primary transpor-
tation precludes the possibility of grow
ing perlshable crops. But that is only
one phase of the subject. 1t is agreed
that mans social instincts must be ia
Yored and cultivated if he is to keep
up with the advancement fthe times
Bad roads interfere most seriously
with society, education and religion,
and for this reason, If for none other,
it will pay the people of a county, in
hard cash, to repair the roads or build
new ones. Among other improvements
that follow fast upon the improve
ments Of country roads is the rural
free mail delivery. This, with the in
creased facilities for travelling and
transportation and the heightened val
lie of lands, will certainly repay all
trouble and expense in road-building
The process of centraHzing the coun-
try school would be greatly accelerated
by good roads. Bad roads are the
great obstacle, for as roads are now,
hauling the children to the township
center is impossible in many places.
The two-good roads and centralized
schools-are reciprocal.
The one promotes the other The
cost Of improved roads is the noun
tain in the way of realization. But
this mountain would become a mole
hill If approached fearlessly. If the
present generation would make up its
mind to bear part of the cost and en-
JOY the benefits, the difficulty would
disappear. The improvement must
come sooner or later. If the farm does
not pay part of the cost during the
fathers life time, it must pay it during
the sons life time and ownership, or
the grandson's. Why wade through
mud yourself, for ten, twenty or thirty
years, and leave your farm in the mud?
You can leave your children a far bet
ter legacy by promoting this one great
improvement and you can enjoy its
benefits and advantages yourself A
farmer of our acquaintance recently
put up a monument for himself and
wife. with names and dates of birth all
engraved, and space left for date of
death. 1T has to be done" he said, |
and it must be paid for by the farm
l think can do it now as we'll as my
children could do it after I am gone,
and perhaps better and at less cost.
Besides l have the satisfaction of
knowing it is done, and we'll done"
This is the kernel of the argument in
favor Of good roads improvement

we went to Browns for dinner night

"But you didn't give me any money
to get them with" he explained, "and
l didn't feel like charging them to
you"
For minute there was doubt as to
whether it would be tears or flashing
eyes. Then she went over to her little
desk, picked up her checkbook and
threw it at his feet.

claimed. 81 don't want to have any

good digestion and the freedom from
aches and pains that follow healthy or
ganie functions.
Many years of suffering might be avoid
ed, weary months of lost time put to good
service, and thousands of lives saved if
persons who do not sleep well and those
with overworked brains and nerves would
take Paine's celery compound. In the
| cure of nervous diseases this remedy has
| again and again demonstrated it's power
to combat these tenacious ailments.
1t is to general poor health that we are
to look for the cause of headaches, rheu-
| matism and neuralgia, and to overcome
these troubles it is the general health
that must be raised. Sick headaches that
| recur so periodically with most women
and are so g%rievous an affliction should
be treated as due to lowered nervous tone,
and a thorough invigoration of the body
| should be undertaken with Paine's celery
compound.
The best test of the wonderful value of
Paine's celery compound is to use it. Any
woman will soon be convinced that it is
the one remedy that can make and keep
her well and healthful and strong.

which have been bestowed upon n OF
the fighters of the war from Dewey down.
Besides. there has. been published IN the
New York papers a mass of evidence con-
meeting the Presidents relatives and
friends with bribery and corruption, and
the public cannot ignore its force, even
though the Presidents W Commission
thought fit to do SO.
IL the question were asked whether the
President himself had ever benefited a.
rectly by any of the evils in the War
Department. we should be rather more
poets to profit by the connivance at
wrongdoing, when the time for his re-
nomination comes in 1900. we do sincerely
think, and we do not see how anybody
can think otherwise.
Some people may reply that the re-
nomination will be of little advantage to
the President if his reelection is not to
follow. and they will doubt whether he
is blind enough to forfeit h main po-
sition for the sake. of winning a minor
one. To this it can only be answered that
popularity enough to be elected would be
equally Improbable if its possessor were
not solid enough with the party bosses to
get the nomination. Further, it MAJ be
said, politicians are often blind-very
blind. They think, in spite of Lincoln's
dietum, that they can always impose on
the people. How else can we account for
the War Commission and its findings?
Besides the President probably counts on
the storm blowing over, and he has, SO
far, the chance in his favor that the
Bryan-A1tgeld lunatics may SO far assert
themselves in the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention as to render him, a
second time, what he was in 1896, the less
of two assured evils
