All Counties Push Work en- Highways.

All Counties Push Work en- Highways.
Wisconsin will enter the second
| year under the new state aid
law with every county on the list ap
plying for state aid, according to ad-
vance figures given out by A. R. Hirst,
state highway engineer. In 1912 only
IS out of II counties in the state ap-
piled for state aid, while in
1915 all applied and in most
cases the counties which were
most liberal in their appropri-
ati0ns in 1912, and thus received the
largest benefit from the state good
road fund have largely increased
their appropriations for the coming
year
Dane county, which appropriated
$30,460 for this year, is in line with
$47,720 for 1918; Douglas, with $6,020
for 1912, will have $15,40O for 1913;
Fond du Lac, which appropriated
$2,750 for 1912, will expend $12,650 in
1913; Milwaukee increases its road
fund from $4,000 for 1912 to $S3,670
for 1919; Monroe increases from 81, 200
to $21 800; Ontagomie from $500 to
$4,000; Sank from $26,430 to $40,500;
Villas from nothing in 1912 to $4,000
in 1913, and Price from $500 to $500.
AS has been stated, Price county
had but one town which appropriated
nothing under the act of 1912 for road
purposes, while for 1913 every town
in the county is on the list, save
one.
The total cost per capita to the
state aid roads built in the state in
1912 was 1851; the total cost per
$1,000 Of valuation was $044, and the
total cost per square mile of territory
was $2425. When the roll of counties
is called, Florence leads all the rest
with an appropriation for good roads
of 1921 per capita, and $S.17 per $1,000
valuation, compared with SO cents per
capita and 80 cents per $1,000 of val
uation for Milwaukee.
In only one respect does Milwaukee
shine, and that is in leading the other
counties in the state in the amount ex-
pended per square mile of territory,
the figures showing 1892 for Mliwau-
kee to $3.50 for Florence. Ashland
shows up second on the list in per cap
tia expenditures, with $2.19. Bayfield,

At no time should people more close
ly watch the condition of their bowels
than during hot weather. Summer con-
ditions contribute in various ways to
cause constipation, but whatever the
cause the trouble should be quickly
corrected; constipation, if neglected,
leads directly to serious, and often
fatal disease.
Some people find that certain fruits
have laxative effect, but this cannot be
depended upon; a mild laxative tonic
that will act gently and positively,

of simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,

The fold is elastic enough to hold

Simple eating Is urged by Berlin
newspaper as a reform that should be
aimed at in Germany for the salvation
Of society. The present extravaganza
in dining, it Is asserted, threatens fl
nancial im3overishment as well as di
gestive ruin. Why is it that Germany
has such famous spas? The intima
ton is made that the reason lies II
the circumstance that Germany ha'
so many gluttons, who go to the wa
tering places, penitent In the spring
and summer, to make amends for the
over-eating and overwhelming of which
they have been guilty during the win
ter. The Berlin paper says: 1t would
be a genuine public service on the
part of the leading society personages
if they would begin by practical ex-
amples to wage war on the sensual
righteousness of modern entertaining,
as far as the culinary end of 1t is con
cerned. Only by a return to simple
and sensible dinners can we avert
genuine economic and physical perils.
Circumspection in the same direction
would not go amiss in the United
States. There has been a growth of
extravaganza In the outlay for luxu
ries of the table. Many men of means
have eaten themselves into evil phys
ical condition.

The nostrils are perfect ''air filters"
and, when kept in clean, healthy state,
strain every bit of air we breathe,
catching all dust particles, foreign
matter and germs. The air is full of
germs You cannot dodge them, but
you can safeguard yourself against
catarrh and other diseases contracted
n the process of breathing by keep
ing the nostrils clean and healthy.
Catarrh germs will sometimes get in
their work, and you may mistake the
symptoms for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you
have stuffed up feeling in the head,
Or if your throat is sore or filled with
ohlegm, just grease the nostrils with
little Ely's Cream Balm, draw the

I loosening up in the head, the nasty
discharge will soon be stopped, the
soreness gone, and you will feel a

Ely's Cream Balm not only wards
off catarrh, but will quickly cure even
chronic, long-standing case of ca
tarrh. 1t takes the trouble right
where it starts, in the nose and throat,

Jaw, sore inside skin, or membrane,
