Thin Lips Better Than Thick.

In order TO articulate well one must
be able to move the lips with the great
est facility. \ person with thick lips
cannot move them quickly; there is too
much of them. and the muscles which
move them are clogged and have no
fair chance of performing their work
Thin lips are easily worked. so as to
allow the mouth to be quite free for
words. and consequently the pOsscSSoT
of them can speak hucntly. y mustache
and a beard which covers the under
lip to the mouth are both hipdrance
to clear speaking They impede the
articulation in the sam" way as thick
lips, and the words get partly lost.

Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without
fail, the following paragraph. she
will learn something about herseH she
never knew before.
Thompson's Barosma is not OILY
wonderful kidney, liver and oladdet
cure, but has a particular adVant~ :
as a remedy for Chronic Female Ne;E
ness, Palpitation of the Heart, be&rin .
down sensations, Nervous DeDlii.y,
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Drops:cai
Swellings. It's peculiar advantage lies
in the fact thai is both female reg
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb is situated back OF
and very close to the bladder. a wo-
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes IT 10 le-
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder. Hence a woman making TINS
grave mistake will find sure remedy
in Thompson's BarOsma, for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease OF the kidneys, liver and
bladder, Barosma will effect perma-
nent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma Is the best wo-
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.

DESTROY THE ROADS.
Heavy Loads on Narrow Tires De-
structive to Highways.

structive to Highways.
Laws should be passed in all states
taxing heavily or prohibiting the run
ming of narrow tired wagons on pu0hc
roads. for they are positive injury 10
aIl roads of every kind and grade, SAID
a speaker at the national good roads
convention. To grasp this idea more
fully. take disk harrow or disk pillow
and put 1000 weight thereon and haul
il over the roads for a month so as 10
pass over the same part OF the ROAD ten
times a day when the ground IS damp
and then see tile condition Of that road.
Then take one of those heavy steam
rollers used in road construction,
weighing 10000 pounds or more. a!Hl
have Il pass over the same piece OF
road for the same number of times as
the disk plow and observe the change.
This test involves the use Of eX-
tremeS to determine a problem, and
there is none so dull of comprehension
as not fully TO grasp the folly from
such a demonstration of permitting the
running of two horse wagons, carrying
$500 to 5000 pounds, with one and
one-half to one and tive-eighths inch
tires These wagons would destroy
even the roads that Nero built.
l am aware Of the difficulty of get
ting such law passed in a state where
the narrow tire prevails, but this can
be done by passing the law to take eff
feet at a distant date, so that in pur-
chasing new wagons or repairing old
ones the change can be made within
couple Of years without great injury to
any party; but, injury or no injury, 1t
will have to be done before good roads
can be maintained.
Narrow tired wagons have long since
been outlawcd in older countries, and
they will have to be in this, for they
are absolute destruction to dirt roads.
In order to pass laws in some states to
do away with the destructive narrow
tires it might be necessary for the leg
islature to pass acts declaring the run
ming Of wagons and other vehicles on
the public roads in the state to be
privilege and thus tax the harmful
narrow tires and not those with the le-
gally required widths.
