Good Roads Develop Trade.

Good roads are Of great ad.
vantage to the people OF b O t h
town and country. The people
OF the cities and towns and the
rural districts are mutually de-
pendent upon one another in q
large degree. The towns and cit
les must have the products of
the farms, and the people Of the
country must have the wares and
merchandise offered for sale in
the towns and cities. The mutual
interests of the two classes ne
cpssitates much travel between
the country and theIncorporated
community; and thus it il that
roads, and road Improvement
pIav such an important point in
the lives and the business affairs
of all the people. Good roads
help the farmer by atforling him
facilities for easy travel to the
town or city and Tor marketing
his products. They help the bust
ness men of the towns and cities
by bringing tho country people
in to do business with them. In
discussing some features OF t b e

and similar lines, The Norfolk
Landmark presents a broad view
OF the subject which is worth con

Strength Comes
Not From What You Eat. But From
What You Digest.
A Tablet Digests Meal. Trial Pack
age Free.

Most people eat most foods without
discrimination-it matters little what,
Few stop to think what that food does
for them. This is the first turn on the
road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard
of the proper choice Of foods. rapid
eating and improper masticat:on. are
the unquestioned causes of all stom-
ach disorders from the slight ache to
the malignant cancer.
There is nothing more revolving than
a dyspeptic stomach-a very vat for
putrefaction. sending forth its poison
throughout the entire system, depres-
sing the brain, befouling the breath,
sour'ng the taste deaden'ng the mus
Giles. incapacitating the liver and kid
neys for their work, facilitating the
heart, choking the lungs and clogging
the bowels.
All Of these disagreeable and dan
gerous conditions are due to the i'm
proper digestion of food and the con-
sequent assimilation of poison. What
else can be expected? If the food
lies in the stomach, if the system is
constipated, fermentation is the ma
tural outcome. It shows itself in sour
watery risings. belchings, heartburn
and painful breathing.
There is only one way to relieve
this cond ton. If the stomach refuses
to digest your food put something into
it that will Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are nothing but digestives. They
are not a medicine. They work when
the stomach will not.

tency for assimilation into the blood.
