The Baltimore and Ohio lines west
Of the Ohio River present very busy
appearance these days. as there is
scarcely ten mile stretch without n
bridge or a construction gang at work.
There are still few OF the SO bridges
purchased last January to be erected.
and almost all Of the 20 900 tons of S.
pound rails have been laid. At several
points sidings Of 100 car capacity are
being constructed. and between New
Ark and Chicago Junction thousands OF
men are working on extensive grade
reductions. Between Chicago Junction
and Chicago nearly a score OF passing
sidings are being constructed with a
view OF 4 double track some time iu
the future. They are to be long
enough in most cases to hold three SO
car trains.

AS TO GOOD TIMES. :"

Times are fairly good now, but our
eople would do we'll to look to the
future. The Nation is running largely
on borrowed money, and still increasing
its debt. War always begets specula-
ton though it grows no grain, nor fruit,
nor hogs, nor horses, nor cattle. nor
poultry: it takes men from the field and
the mines. Two great wars are in
progress today. stimulating markets.
but they can't last always.
An impetus has been given to manu-
featuring and contending armies using
food and clothes have strengthened the
markets. partial famine in other
countries has created demand for
bread and meat besides the demand
created by war. Commerce has re-
vived and improvements set in. Prices
are up and credit is easy. Even farm
ers are buying more land and lumber
and blooded stock, while towns are
here and there putting on airs.
Take Paola for example. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars have been
spent within the past two years upon a
new court house, macadamizing streets
and for sewerage systematic spend
ing and the work going on to-day.
This has furnished employment to men
above the average work for which
they got or are getting the cash.
But the money has been borrowed.
True, taxation has nearly paid for the
court house, but there's levy yet to
meet. Bonds are out for the macadam
and the tax levy for the sewers has
simply been made, not paid. Pay day
is coming; it never misses the train.
So. while times are seemingly good.
there is an unnatural stimulus at the
bottom of it. The Spirit has never
sung the calamity chorus-the only
songs it ever tries are "Yankee Doodle"
and "Pull for the Shore"-but it is not
deaf, neither is it blind. It knows the
notes of warning and can tell a storm
cloud from a whirl of dust IN the road.
People, especially the common run
of people, such as we all are in Miami
county, should guard against extrava-
gance and going in debt. Credit is too
often mocker, delusion and snare.
And debt, the best, though somewhat
irreverent, definition given of it once
by Tom Dennis was -'It's fun goin'
but hell a comm. "-Paola Spirit.

The amateur detective is as humorous


Sherlock Holmes, is a man who reads
clues as the Indian reads trail Every
step he takes is step to success.
It's much the same way in the detec-
ton of disease. While the amateur is
blundertng along over misleading sv1np-
toms, the specialist goes right to the real
cause and puts an arresting hand upon
the disease. It is in such a way that
DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, ~ Y, succeeds in
hunting out and arresting diseases, where
the less experienced practitioners fail.
More than thirty years of special study
and experience have enabled DIR. Pierce
to read symptoms as easily and as truly as
the Indian reads a trail which is without
a hint for a less acute vision than his.
Any sick person can consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge.
Each letter is read in private and an
swered in private. Its contents are held
as sacredly confidential. It is answered
with fatherly feeling as we'll as medical
skill and the reply is sent sealed in a
perfectly plain envelope, that there may
be no third party to the correspondence.
Thousands have taken the first step to
health by writing 10 DR.. Pierce. No
writer ever regretted writing. Ninety
eight in every hundred treated have
been positively cured If YOU are
afflicted with any old obstinate all

nearer health. Address DR.. r. V.
