 Cardui acts specifically on the weak ened womanly organs, strengthening the muscles and nerves, and building them up to health.
 It helps to refresh the worn-oue ner- vous system and relieves the effects of overwork, both mental and physical.

road. And very soon you will be- gin rejoicing over some fine gra- vel or sand-clay highways in stead of bewailing you fate i'll having to founder through the mud.
 There are just a few other suggestions that ought to be made.
 In the first place, don't get the foolish idea that building the road is all. Keeping it up after it is built is just as important. You would not think of buying a thoroughbred horse and then turning him into a broomsedge field to shift for himself. If you | have paid a good price for a l horse, you are all the more will 1 ing to take care of him after you l have him. It ought to be the l same way with a road. The cost
 of keeping up a sand-clay ol
 gravel road, however, is very
 small. What you would have tt
 pay as interest money for maca i dam roads will keep up the sand
 clay.
 1 In the second place, don't gel l the idea that the only way tt l spend your road money is in old | fashioned ways that have beer | in vogue from time immemorial
 It is only within the last ter | years that the cheapest good l roads maker ever invented has
 come into popularity-that is.
 the drag. If your county is as progressive as it ought to be, il l will make some arrangement fOl |paying the farmers to drag the lroads. No road money will pay better.
 ! Don't rest until the county has good highways. Talk the mat
 ter over with your neighbors l the leading men of the county l and get a movement started fol l an adeauate tax or bond-issue 1 Then see to it that the money i' 1 wisely spent under the direction
 of efficient road-buildels, ant l that they recognize the economy
 of sand-clay or gravel as compar l ed with macadam, and the i'm
 portance of the drag as the
 cheapest of all road-makers.-

You're Paying the Tax.

It is. a foolish farmer who l thinks because his county has not voted bonds, and because the sheriff is not collecting anything from him for the purpose, that 1 therefore he is paying no road tax. Every farmer is paving road tax-for the bad road itsel1 is a tax. It charges you enough extra Gin increased cost of tray. el and transportation to pay fol good roads.
 Everybody, therefore, we re peat is paying for good roads. i There are only two kinds of folks those who pay for good roads and get them, and those who pay for good roads and don't get them.
 If your county has voted bonds for a special tax, then it is a case of paying for good roads and getting them. If on the oth CT hand, your community is do- ing nothing, then you are pay ing for good roads, paying enough in the increased cost or hauling and travelling to ha4 them-and are not getting them
 The road tax you pay the sher- fir is productive; 1t brings you value received in return. But the mud tax the bad road cha.g es is a cheat and a fraud; you. pay all the expense and get no-1 thing back. In fact the road 1s- ually gets worse instead of bet ter.
 This then is the big message we would leave with every Hro- qressive Farmer reader this week: You are paving for good roads-but are you getting them?
 If you are not well, the thing to do is to begin paying tax to| the sheriff instead of the bad

1nclusat tribunal from Independ- bsSce county under the style of S.1 F. Clark, superintendent of the. Odd Fellows Orphans Home at ABatesville, against Mrs. Alice White.
 Last March Mrs. White, whose husband had died, applied to the Odd Fellows Home for admis- sion of her five children three boys and two girls into the or phanage. Superintendent Clark says she represented that she was unable to take care of the children properly and on this sl1owing the board of trustees of the institution admitted all of the children and provided for keeping and educating them up- til they should become of age. 1 Later Mrs. White asked that her children be returned to her care. This was declined on the , ground that no showing had been made that she was able to care for them any better than at the time they were placed in the orphanage. She then sued out a writ of habeas corpus in, the lf- dependence county circuit court asking that the superintendent of the home be required to turn over to her the children. This was resisted by the authorities of the institution, but the cour' entered judgment in favor 2. Mrs. White and directed tha Superintendent Clarke give he the custody of the children.
 The appeal reached the SD prenae court today.

READING, Pa, July 21.--A local
newspaper prints the following from
It's Allentown correspondent, whose
reputation for truth and accuracy is
first class:
"Elihu Batdorf, quarryman, living
near Breinigsville, claims to have
solved the caterpillar question. The
other day he happened to spill a small
quantity of nitroglycerin over some
bushes. Shortly afterward he heard
a series of sharp explosions coming
from that direction. Upon going to
investigate he found that the caterpil.
lars were devouring the explosive.
that they would scarcely more than
taste it than they would drop to the
ground and blow up with loud re-
port
Being an ingenius man, MIR. Bat
dorf Immediately saw great possibil.
tiles in this great accidental discov-
cry and began to experiment. He
reasoned that pure nitroglycerin
would be rather expensive for the de-
struction of the caterpillar but found
after several trials, that an ounce OF
the explosive mixed with about four
gallons of water would answer per-
fectly.
Spraying tree with the mixture.
which costs only few cents, rids it
of caterpillars in few minutes Be.
fore the spraying is completed the
caterpillars begin to drop and ex-
plode. and in minute or two there
is continuous fusillade, sounding
like volleys of miniature musketry.
ut Is found, too, that the shock Of
the explosions effectually destroys all
of the other pests on the tree Mr..
Batdorf has applied for a patent, and
is organizing company to exploit
his discovery"

ATTACKS THE
INNOCENT BOY SCOUTS
Labor Representative Gets All Worked
Up Because the Boys Have
Drills.

LA CROSSE, Wis. July 21.-In his
annual report to the convention of the
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor
here, Assemblyman Frank j. Weber
of Milwaukee, organizer and chief Of
ficer of the state body, attacked the
boy scout movement. The speaker
declared that the boy scouts were only
an ally of capitalism, hidden behind
the guise of patriotism. "As trade
unionist who is opposed to the destruc-
tion of human life. and staining the
soil with innocent blood, 1 am op-
posed to this military organization of
boy scouts" he said
The boy scout movement should
be shuned by every boy in America
who scorns to become a Iegalized
salaried. professional murderer to
serve the interests of a class of
privilege
The report declared against the
strike in industrial disputes except
as last resort, criticized the re-
publican and democratic parties in
Wisconsin and demanded the election
of federal judges.
