HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A poor complexion is usually the
result of a torpid liver or irregular
action of the bowels. Unless natures
refuse is carried off it will surely
cause impure blood. Pimples, boils
and other eruptions follow. This is
natures method of throwing off the
poisons which the bowels failed to re-
move. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
are world famous for remedying this
condition. They stimulate the liver
and promote regular and healthy ac-
ton of the bowels but never cause
gripping, CRANES or distress. Safe
pills. w. E. Terrill & Co., @. Blake

A PRAYER.

Grant unto us, Almighty God, that
when our vision fails. and our under
standing is darkened; when the ways
of life seem hard, and the brightness
of life is gone-to US grant the wisdom
which deepens faith when the sight
is dim, and enlarges trust when the
understanding is not clear. And
whatsoever thy ways in nature or in
the soul are hard to be understood,
them may our quiet confidence, our
patient, trust our loving faith in thee
be great; and as children knowing that
they are loved, cared for, guarded,
kept, may we with a quiet mind at
all times put our trust in the unseen
God., So may we face life without
fear, and death without fainting and,
whatsoever may be in the life to come,
give US confident hope that whatso-
ever is best for US both here and here
after is thy good pleasure, and will be
thy law. Amen"

GOOD ROADS COMING.
THERE IS NO Mls1AKlNG THE SIGNS
OF THE TIMES.

Widespread Discussion Has Shown the
Pressing Need of Highway Improve,
ment-Men From All Walks of Life
Have Enlisted In the Cause.
There is no doubt in the minds ot
those who have studied the signs of the
times that an era of road improve.
ment has dawned on this country. Con-
tinued agitation has awakened the peo,
pie to the necessity of action. The Ce'
dar Rapids Gazette tells the story OF
progress in a conversation between an
old editor and farmer.
cat last said the old editor, who
has been in the harness for nearly 4C
years, 81 see signs which indicate the
certain approach of an era of good road
building, and I look upon it as one o1
the best signs of the times"
II infer that you think it high time
for such an era," remarked farmer
subscriber who had dropped in for a lit
tie financial transaction.
81 surely do. In fact, I can't find
even the shadow Of an excuse for any
more delay in its journey our way.
only wonder why, when advances are
being made in 80 many other respects,
some of which are of little Importance
compared with the roads over which
many millions must pass each year, that
the day of practical planning for better
roads did not begin several decades
ago."
"May I ask what it is that gives you
encouragement that there is approach
ing revolution in the matter Of roads?'
asked the farmer, adding that he was
'aware that good roads mean more to
me and my brother farmers than to any
other class" and that he was anxious
to see the work go on.
"Agitation, sir, agitation-the prac-
tical agitation that is going on in every
direction. Why, the ministers are
preaching about it, educators are lectur-
ing on the subject, the farmers, at least
all who are organized, and they are or.
ganized in nearly all the states, are
awakening to its Importance to them,
personally-to their purses and comfort.
Few, if any, of the farmers institutes
have passed without more time being
given to good road agitation than to al
most any other question. :.
"The question has been taken up in
one way or another in 90 different legis-
latures, and the discussion on the vari-
GUS measures touching better roads has
been farreaohing, the papers quoting
more or less from the bills and the
speeches. Debating societies in thou
sands of schools have discussed the good
roads question. Hundreds of. thousands
Of men and women who ride wheels
have talked more or less on the same
question, and the great national organi-
cation Of wheelmen known as the
