every rain. This system wherever
tried has proven far ahead of the
present haphazard custom OF tearing
up roads every year and often times
leaving them in worse shape than they
were originally.
The REGISTER trusts that the COM
ing Legislature will enact some sort Of
law which will improve present con-
ditions. II the south can surmount
difficulties, natural to that portion of
the country, as they have, there is no
reason why the country roads OF this
state, with the natural advantages
existing here, should not be veritable
boulevards, which would save millions
OF dollars to those who are compelled
to use the highways either for hauling
farm and other produce or for driving.
1t seems strange that the intelligent
farmers have been so slow to COM
prehend these conditions and to apply
a remedy. The "split log drag"
seems to have solved the problem and
henceforth there can be no reasonable
excuse for delay.
A letter written to the Agricultural
department at Washington or to your
congressman requesting for informa-
ton will no doubt bring you in close
touch with this important problem.

We wish every farmer who tills the
soil, has grain to market or does any
considerable driving might read the
Congressional Record OF April IA.

having good roads the year round.
For years the trend Of evidence and
discussion has been toward a read.

impression seems to be that the

Great inventors often have been

same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. Decatur ID.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist
of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable,

with other simple remedies was prac-
tically a sure specific for Eczema.

and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil OF wintergreen alone was found
ineffective. 1t required other mild i'm.
gradients such as ~glycerine and thv-

cure.
This compounded d. d. ID. Prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch AT

skin. This vegetable liquid does way
