To haul ton Of freight over q ma
cadam road costs eight cents a mile.
Yet the tive hundred million tons Of
farm products hauled to the railroads
cost, last year, on an average, twenty
three cents mile. This ID the COM
putation Of the Washington bureau Of
statistics. The difference between eight
cents ahd twenty-thrse cents il the
price the country pays for poor roads.
1t amounts to more than three hum
dred million dollars annually. A good
road Is as much matter of economy
as any labor-saving machine that was
ever invented. To take big load
quickly to market means the ability
10 handle larger crops at less expense
Farmers need good roads more than
any other class. They suffer from bad
roads more than any other class.

With this statement Congressman

! In a few words the effect he believes
the passing Of the Payne-Aldrich tar

Clark was bitter in his denunciation
of the passing Of the tariff bill and
was asked II he would use any OF Prcs-

making this campaign for the speak
Icrship
EVERY time President Taft opens
HIS mouth he aids the Democratic par

There are quite good many things
to take in consideration in buying a
cloak. The irst is, are you igetting
the very latest style? The quality of
the cloth is very important, and then
again the workmanship. Some cloaks
are very poorly made. We pride our
selves on the make Of our garments
We buy from none but the very best
manufacturers. "A cloak that is poor

BY unanimous vote the Virginia

session at Elkins, w. Va, a few days
ago adopted a resolution protesting
against the invitation extended to
President Taft to address the Lay
mems Missionary Convention on for
eign missions at Washington on No
vemberll. Opposition was based on
the fact that the President is mem
Der of the Unitarian church. Holding
views diametrlcslly opposite to that
of the President on the one tenet that
dIfferentiates Christians from non-
christians--faith in the divinity Of
Christ, tine synod did the wise thing

STOMACH CENTER OF HUMAN
UFE-,,-ALL ELSE SECONDARY

The success which has followed L.
T. Cooper during the past year with
his new preparation. Coopers New
Discovery. is unparalleled. Cooper
has a novel theory. He believes that
the human stomach is directly re-
sponsible for most disease. To quote
his own words from an interview up
on his arrival in an eastern city: The
average man or woman cannot be sick
IL the stomach is working properly.
To be sure, there are diseases Of
virulent nature, such as cancer. tuber-
culosis, diabetes, etc. which are
organic. and are not traceable TO the
stomach. but even fevers can, in nine
cases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach. All OF
this half sick, nervous exhaustion
that is now so common, is caused by
stomachic conditions, and IL is because
my remedy will and does regulate the
stomach that 1 am meeting such sue
cess.
ITO sum the matter up-a sound di-
gestive apparatus that is doing its full
duty, getting every particle Of vitality
out Of all food by transferring II to the
bowels in a perfectly digested state
this above all else brings health"

ment comes from ]. i. Turk, living at

ION reading Of Mr.. Coopers theory

and procured several bottles OF his
New Discovery preparation, IN order

relief. and when I had taken three
bottles my trouble had disappeared

To make my restoration sure ! took
two more bottles Of the New DiscoN-
cry. 1t has now been several months
since l stopped taking the Cooper
medicine, and / have experienced no

The Wise Civ.

q, In a lecture on flies before the Royal
Photographic society Of London, F. P.
Smith said that with a little patience
flies could be trained, and he showed
some cinematcgraph records of flies
lying on their backs twirling minia-
ture dumbbelis, balancing weights
bigger than themselves, climbing re-
yolving wheels, and acting as nurse
maids, holding dummy babies. Ac-
curately balanced little machines
were used for training the flies, and
the only discomfort to the insect, said
the lecturer, was involved in its being
imprisoned for day or two. On being
released, although its wings were I'm.
injured, it had no desire to fly, but
showed tractableness and readiness to
perform these extraordinary gyra-
lions instead.

A Good Inheritance.

No boy or girl can ever come to be
utterly bad who remembers only love
and tenderness and unselhshness and
sweetness as associated with father
and mother in the old-time home. Give
them manly and womanly examples,
give them training, give them the in
spiration of devoted lives, give them
these higher. deeper things. Do not
care so much as 10 whether you are
accommodating money, so that you can
leave them fortune. really believe
that the chances are against that's be-
Ing a blessing for a boy But leave
them an accumulated fortune Of mem
Dries and inspirations and examples
and hopes, so that they are rich in
brain and heart and soul and service.
Then, If you happen to leave them the
fortune besides, If they have all these,
the fortune will be shorn Of its posi-
bilities Of evil, and will become an
instrument of the higher and nobler
good.-Minot J. Savage.
