reopened yesterday
The inspection was made by Chief In1

look over the mines Monday, which re-
quest we complied with. However. the
fan has not been properly replaced and
the water system in the mine has not yet
been arranged as it should be.
although these two defects are noted
we wish to say that the officers of the

very satisfactorily, and they believe the

within eight or nine days We will
inspect he mine again when notified, and
I think everything will be in prime con-

FOOD FACTS
What nm NJ, ID. Learned


prominent physician down in Geor-
gia, went through a food experiences
which he makes public:
TT was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and also know from having prescribed
II to conyaleseents and other weak
ma tlents that the food is a wonderful
rebuilder and restorer of nerve and
brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t i'm
proves the digestion and sick patients
always gain just as l did in strength
and weight very rapidly.
II was in such low state that
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains of this state. but
two months there did not improve me:
in fact I was not quite we'll as when
left home My food did not sustain
me and it became plain that l must
change, then I began to use Grape
Nuts and in two weeks | could walk a.
mile without the least fatigue and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as we'll and
strong as ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help all
sufferers l consider it duty to make
these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape Nuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work miracles.
There's Reason
Read the little book, The Road to
wellville," in pkgs.
Ever read the above Ietters new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine. true, and full of human

THINKS ROAD BOND
ISSUE WOULD CARRY
John G.. Bradley Says Farmers
Will Vote for It
ALL NOW SEE THE NEED
Thinks County BY Making Initial Out
lay of s1,00O,0O0 and Then Spending
$4,000 Year for Mainten-
ance VIII Save Money

The best solution of the roads ques-
81 100000 worth of bonds and the ap-
plication of $4,000 per year for the
up-keep, according to John G. Brad
ley, clerk of the criminal court, and
one of the best known men in the
county.
In discussing the proposition of good
roads yesterday Mr.. Bradley said that
100000 per year was squandered on
the roads by the work done which,
while being intended for permanent
construction, was nothing more or less
than temporary work.
Mr.. Bradley has lived in this coun-
ty for the greater part of his life;
he Is connected with some of the most
prominent families and resides at Nor
ris during the summer There Is per-
haps no man that knows the farmers
better than he and besides he Is con-
sidered one of the most astute poll
tieians In the county So when he
says the farmers favor the issuance
of bonds for road Building and thai
the solution lies In such a plan, his
views carry more than usual weigh t..
In speaking of the general question
Mr.. Bradley said; IF the county will
issue s1,O00,000 worth of bonds and
with this sum construct real macadam
roads throughout the county and ap-
ply $4,000 to the maintenance of this
construction the county will save ap-
proximately $4,000 every year. As the
plan is now, the county will build
10 or II miles of roads of ebert and
such materials which cost a consid :
cradle sum. The first rain that comes
along washes this into the ditch and
the county has squandered this much
money. The work should be done on
a business basis and then kept up like
the machinery of any good manufact-
uring plant. That is the only way to
solve the question of good roads. So
long as patches here and there are
built and then allowed to go for years
without any repairs just SO long Will
the conditions be what they are now.
The farmers of this county l believe
firmly, are now in mood to vote for
such an issue. The question should be
put to them as 1 know the city men
are convinced of the economic value of
better highways. l believe If the mat
ter were submitted within 80 days that
the vote for the issue would be over
whelmingly in the affirmative.
Between this city and Morris, where
live in the summer, the roads are
in pretty bad shape. There is no ex-
cuse for the present conditions and
the people should get together and
give the officials money to remedy the
evil. 1 do not think any boa I'd sot
revenue could have done much better
than the present one. Jefferson county
should set the pace for better roads
The smaller counties of the state are
voting affirmatively for large bond is
sues and practically every county has
better roads than imperial Jefferson |
think it is time for the question to
be settled and stop so much prelinl-
mary discussion. 1t can be settled now
and effectively If the people are given
chance to vote"

THOMPSON NOT
READY TO DECIDE
McEniry VIII Name Formal Ratification
Committee for Republican Candi-

John T. NpcEniry, chairman of the
state convention of republicans, has not
yet announced the committee to notify
Chairman Joseph O. Thompson of his
nomination for governor. Tt is to be
composed of one member from each dis
trict, and three at large, and will be APP
pointed within the next few days
Mr. Thompson has refused to give any
answer to the question of his candidacy
until he is officially notified. 1t is cons
sidered quite probable that he will ac-
cept.
The question of whether he can be a
candidate and hold his office as internal
revenue collector has been brought up,
and 1t is probable that he will seek
advices from Washington on this scoro
before deciding. Some insist that he
would have to resign his office with the
government before becoming a candi~
date.
