1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic

much harm. They cause a reaction,

Constipation is caused by a weak

HENRY COUNTY
SHOWS ECONOMY
Supervisor Eastman Learns In
teresting Facts by an In
vestigation.
SOME COMPARISONS MADE
big Difference In the Cost of Running
of the Various Ohices-Money
for Bridges.

Henry county has spent $4,000
this year in the construction of town
ship bridges, and like this county. It
has been at the mercy of the bridge
trust. It also has had some experience
Fin expert audit of books, having en-
lployed public accountants at SIS a
day, costing the county $4,000 by
the time the work was completed. The
board of supervisors did not contem-
plate such an expense when the work
was started, but by the time the ex-
perts had the audit we'll under way
they had found evidence that the &C
Mounts Of county officials were not
right, and then it was necessary for
the county board to proceed with the
audit. The amount received from Of
hcials was 5000. But the supervisors
of Henry county have been very sue
cessful in handling the county funds,
and have no floating debt, being en-
abled to pay bills at each meeting Of
the board
This is the statement made by Su-
pervisor Eastman, who has just re-
turned from Cambridge, where ne
made a careful inquiry into the meth
DDS employed in that county. The
supervisor says all Henry county Of
fees are run on a very economical
basis, and he gives the following fig

deputy, that official being given three
bailiffs when court is in session, which
is about six months in the year. In
