Travelled When the Clods We're Big.

Uncle Bob Bowsher, of Leon, Iowa.
had an occasion to travel over some
Mercer county roads, a few days ago,
when the clods were big. He was con-
siderab)y jostled up, and wrote a letter
about it to The Post, saying that in a
trip from the north county line to Mill
Grove he found but one road dragged.
George A. Wilson, the Lindley town
ship farmer, loyal to his county, takes
up the big stick and knocks stone
right through Uncle Bob's glass house.
Mr.. Wilson visited this Office Monday,
and gave his experience:
81 took drive few days ago, travel
ing more than fifteen miles in Decatur
county," said Mr.. Wilson, land did not
find single road dragged. And those
Iowa roads were so bad that in places
my wife, who was with me, wanted to
get out and walk
good men saw the roads at the wrong
time. Had they travelled few weeks
earlier, possibly both of them would
have found nice smooth roads. But just
now when the farmer is busy in his field,
making every minute count on corn
crop, you could not expect much road
dragging. Mercer county farmers know
the value of good roads and they are
not backward about making them. We
probably have as we'll tended highways
as any county in the state with the
same conditions, but just at this time
the farmers work is needed elsewhere
and we are not going to "rake him over
the Goals
Uncle Bob, who once lived here, did
not intend to censure the farmers oil
! Mercer county, many of whom are his
acquaintance and friends. He simply
showed his interest in them by pointing
out what he thought was their neglect
We're glad he came, even if he did whiz
by at lightning speed, perched up in a
motor car, viewing the ruts without his
goggles on. Come back after the crops
are in, Uncle Bob, and MERGERS farmers
will show you roads that will make
Decatur's highways look like cow-paths

Keep the bowels regular.
This is the first and most important rule Of
health.
You can depend on DR.. A. w. Chase's Kid

rule.
They effect prompt and thorough movement
of the bowels and as they do not lose their
effect the dose does not have to be increased.
By their enlivening action on the liver they
positively cure biliousness and constipation.

With other pills had to continually increase
the dose but only take one-half pill twice

REDPS EXPERIMENT.
Out Of II Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory.

Out Of II Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory.
It was fixed belief OF the ancients
that many living creatures could come
into existence in a spontaneous fash
ion, to which alluslon has often been
made. The true beginning of the germ
theory arose out OF a ludicrously sim
pie observation made by Redi, a Flor
entine physician, about the middle Of
the seventeenth century. He debated
with his cOnfreres in Florence the
question OF the origin OF the maggots
appearing In decomposing meat. The
old view held, of course, that the mag
gots were bred within dead and putre-
flying substances. Redi, taking a piece
Of meat. covered the mouth Of the jar
in which it was contained with a piece
of fine gauze. He beheld the flesh flies,
attracted by the smell of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs, aft
or the manner of their kind, in the de-
composing substance. The gauze, how
ever, kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
/ SKko were idlu Nn AiAt u AAS
gauze and the maggots there hatched
out, while the decay OF the meat went
on uninterruptedly without a single
maggot appearing in its substance.
On this childishly simple experiment
the great fabric of the germ theory OF
today was founded, for if the law OF
universal psrentage applied to the case
Of maggots and meat it was clear. ar
gued Redi. that 1t must apply univer.
sally. Subsequent experimentation
| proved the words to be true, and so to-
day, when our attention is focused upon
germs or microbes so minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds OF
thousands of them on the surface Of a
postage stamp. we again come face tc
face with Redrs first principle that
each germ could only have sprung
from a preceding and parental organ
