WHAT'S In A NAME2

Everything is in the name
when it comes to Witch Hazel
Salve. E. G. Dewitt & Co.. of
Chicago, discovered some years
ago how to make salve from
Witch Hazel that is a specific
for piles. For blind, bleeding,
itching and protruding piles,
eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and
all skin diseases, DeWitt's Salve
has no equal. This has given
rise to'numerous worthless coun- :
terfeits. Ask for Dewitt s-the
genuine. Sold by Ward.

with your part OF the obligation
aud protect him against your
t}n days limit?
According to specifications, it
Is the duty OF the contractor to
move back line fences. Please
state plainly what disposition
shall he made of these fences, at
ter being torn down.
| have been given to under
stand that your purpose is to let
the road in short links. Now,
according to my Judgment, that
Is a mistake. Experience has
taught me that more work, and
better work, can be done with
machinery, good teams and four
men, than eau be done with one
hundred men, otherwise.
| further notice, that roads
must be brought up to specifica-
tions by May 1st, 1905, Now,
boys, | think that another mis-
take-trom the tact that if roads
are graded here in ortheast
Beat during the winter they be-
come impossible. 1t might do
to grade them in sand hills, but
not in prairie.
| also notice that your specifi :
cations call for eight foot cause
way on one class of the road.
Now, from long experience, [
am thoroughly convinced that
eight loot cau0eway has been Il
complete failure wherever used.
Now, in regard to the twenty
days limit. That Is all right,
provided your requirements are
reasonable.
According to your specitica-
tons, the contractor must have
the roads complete by May 1st.
1908, or pay will be held back
until next pay day, which will
be October 1st, 1905.
Now, as it is your duty to in
spect the roads, [ think it they
prove S satl ST a c tory that you
should pay of every thirty days,
for this reason: The contractor.
in order to procure labor, must
settle with them once each week
or lose them. You know full
well that there are very few men
IN this county capable Of hlling
this position who have funds
enough to keep all wheels run
nlng, teams in order, etc, with
a SIX months pay. Labor is at
a premium in this Beat. and a
man Is lucky to secure good ne
groes even with an assurance of
weekly pay.
AS it is absolutely necessary
for a man to invest at least
$4,000 TO thoroughly equip
himself tor good road work, |
hold that it is unreasonable to
expect him to work less than
one hundred miles of road per
contract. The large number OF
Implements, together with stock,
requires a considerable sum OF
money to k e ep ship shape
Hence the obj ection to six
months pay.
[ sincerely hope that you will
not think any OF this unreasona
BILE, and with kind regards and
best wishes, [ am
Sincerely yours,
"UNCLE GEORGE"
Contractor from N. e. Beat.
