His Stomach Vroubles Over.

Mr.. Dyspeptic, would you not like
to feel that you stomach troubles we're
over, that you could eat any kind of
food you desired without injury?
That may seem so unlikely to you that
you do not even hope for an ending of
your trouble. but permit US to assure
you that It's not altogether impossible.
If others can be cured permanently,
and thousands have been, why not
you? John r. Barker, of Battle
Creek, Mich, is one of them. He
says, 81 was troubled with heart burn,
indigestion and liver complaint until

my trouble was over" Sold by all

A conference of distinguished
aiienists and social workers met
in <ew York in November, 1912,
and addressed TO the respective
chairmen Of the committees on
immigration of the two houses of
Congress. "a series Of resolutions
whicn set forth the needed amend
ments to the immigration laws, as
understood by them. 1t is recon-
mended, among other things, that
a commissioned medical officer Of
the Public Health Service to be
detailed to each vessel bringing
immigrants to the United States,
so that the immigrants might be
examined during the voyage with
special reference to their mental
conditio ,; that sufficient num-
Der of medical officers with special
training and experience in the de-
lection of insanity and mental de-
fectiveness be detailed for duty at
Ellis Island at all times, and at
least one such medical officer to
every other large port OF eutry,
and that they be given the faciii-
ties, Interpreters, ETC., necessary
to make efficient examinations;
that the period during which
mentally defective aliens or those
becoming insane after entry may
be deported be extended to five
years instead Of three as at pre-
sent. The conference also favor
ed the medical examination of i'm.
migrants at their point of for
eign embarkation. The need for
specially trained examiners for
the detection of insanity and
mental effectiveness is empha-
sized in an editorial in a recent
issue of the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

Good Roads.

We copy the following editorial
from the Delhi Progress, and en-
dorse it fully and completely. 1t
rings with the absolute truth when
itsays: "Don't wait for the state
or nation to build US good roads.
we ever getgood roads, we must
build them and pay for them"
The BAN Err is proud to say that
this is the view taken by the gov.
eminent of the town of Franklin.
In good weather and bad weather
our town officials keep a watch on
the roads with the purpose of
having them good all the time.
They use the drag and keep USE
ing it. They keep the drainage
open, and the result is good
streets and good roads. They
do not wait for the state and the
nation, They do the correct thing
themselves:
"While the newspapers and the
law makers and speech makers
are talking of better roads. let's
not forget that there is nothing in
the present road laws that will.
prevent us from making our roads
much better. 1t is tru", OF course.
that our laws can b. made mucn
better, and that our aim should
be for more permanent good
roads, but the best road laws on
earth will not build for US good
roads.
p" eshould not depend too much
on laws. Don't wait for the state
or nation to build US good roads
Ii We ever get good roads, we
must build them and pay for
them. We are Uncle Sam and
we are the State. They are both
all right, but neither of them will
help US if we fail to help our
selves. We can and ought to do
much better with the road laws
we have. We can build perma.
nent culverts, and make good
common sense grades aud pro-
vide for drainage.
Remember, the law saws you
shall drag the roads, Use tn.
drag when the proper time crmes
We will have poor roads for
long time if We wait for the laws
TO make them good. So now, Mr.
Farmer and vi izen. it il up to
you, and more for ycur benefit
than for any one else, to have
good road. Don't sit around at
home and chew your tobacco, and
then when you come to town one
week, stand around on the street
corners and tell everybody about
how bad the roads are. Stop talk
ing and kicKing-make you a
drag-and during your idle sea-
son, on pretty days, get out and
put your road in good condition
for mile each way from your
property, aud in short while
your neighbor will follow your
example, and before you know it
you will have good roads to town
The way to accomplish good is
not by growing and complaining;
put your shoulder to the wheel.
and do your part, and others will
see the good you are doing and
will soon follow. That's the way
to get good roads,

mary is that il gives the people
chance to express themselves directly,

pirants. their merits and political
ideas. the better for tho State. Clear

tight is free from the stimulating
tonic OF personality, but the vigorous
give and-take of impromptu debate,
with full publicity and wide discus
sion afterwards, might stir enough
voters out OF slumher to make the
nomination a true reflection OF the
popular mind.
We do not know whether there are
any real differences between these two
