BENEFITS OF ROAD coNeREss.

Governor Ferris, of Michigan, is per

state to name delegates to the Third
American Road Congress, which will
be In session at Detroit during the

TAX PAYERS TROUBLES ANALYz


We hear a great deal of criticism
directed against the increased public
Indebtedness and growing tax bur
dens. The editor OF the Engineering
News has analysed these complaints
and finds that the apparently adverse
conditions are due to the change from
private to public control of industry.
The bulk of the increase in public
debt and taxation comes because the
city, the state and the nation does
for US all now what was formerly done
by private enterprise, but none the
less at our own charge.
By way Of illustration: We now pay
taxes for road and bridge construc-
ton and maintenance instead of tolls
for the use Of highways and bridges.
We pay taxes for electric or gas
street lighting instead Of each house
holder buying kerosene lamp and
the oil to burn in it, and keeping it
burning on a post in front OF the
house on dark nights. We pay taxes
for municipal garbage and ash collec-
ton instead of hiring private scav-
enger These are but examples Of a
long list of supplies and services now
furnished by some government body
instead of by the private tradesman
or the private corporation operating
under franchise
Again, public debts and taxes are
hiD bor
vastly more than was deemed ample
a generation ago. Perhaps this is ex-
travagance in some respects; but in
others 1t is public recognition of the
fact that good public service, pure
water supply, sanitary sewage and re-
fuse disposal and we'll lit and well
paved streets are worth what they
cost.
1t Is little short of nonsense to call
this change from public to private
organization the growth of paternal-
ism in government. The change is
really a part Of the great cooperative
movement Of the day. OF course. In
the great shift from private to public
cooperation service. considerable in.
crease in the burdens of taxation may
fall upon men of wealth compared
with those OF small means. A part OF
this increase Is justiflable beyond dis
pute as contribution to the general
welfare in accordance with ability to
pay as well as in proportion to bene-
fits received.

SWAT THE FLY, AND WHY.

The common house fly Is the filth
lest of all living creatures, and for
this reason, Is the greatest enemy
to man. His filthy habits, hairy body,
spongy feet, small size, and modes OF
travel adapt him as no other animal
for spreading the microbes Of disease.
and still the fly has access to the
home, dining-room and kitchen He
is allowed to wipe his feet on the
food that is eaten. sip milk from the
glass out of which you drink. ana
what is even worse, this pestiferous,
dirty and dangerous creature is per-
mitted to crawl over the lips ana
face Of the innocent babe, or the
nipple of It's nursing bottle, frequent
~ leaving death in its train. Is there
any wonder that fy-time is typhoid
time? And that the death rate OF in
fants is highest during the fly season !.
Because Of apparent indifference and
carelessness, the wonder is that there
is not more sickness and the death
toll heavier.
This description OF the summer pest
is enough to induce any one to stir
himself to get rid of files before eat
! ing or sleeping. But the Idaho board
of health prefers going back to the
first cause, saying that the way to
swat the fly is to swat the filth, and
the way to swat the filth is to swat
the filth-maker. So we come to the
old standard of cleanliness. Swat the
fly that you see, and starve the rest
by clean surroundings.

GOING HOME.
Out Of the chill and the shadow,
Into the thrill and the shine;
Out of the dearth and the famine,
Into the fulness divine.
Up from the strife and the battle
(Oft with the shameful defeat),
z Up to the palm and the laurel,
Oh, but the rest will be sweet.
Meeting the dear ones departed,
Knowing them, clasping their hands
All the beloved and true-hearted,
There in the fairest of lands,
Bin evermore left behind us,
Pain nevermore to distress;
Changing the moan for the music,
Living the Savior to bless.
Why should we fear at the dying
That is but springing to life,
Why should we shrink from the strug
gle.
Pale at the swift closing strife,
Eince 1t is only beyond us,
Scarcely step and breath,
All that dear home of the living.
Guarded by what we call death.
There we shall learn the sweet mean.
ings
Hidden today from our eyes,
There we shall waken the children
Joyous at gift and surprise.
Come, then, dear Lord in the gloam-
ing,
Or when the dawning is gray,
Take us tc dwell in thy presence
Only Thyself lead the way.
Out OF the chill and the shadow,
Into the thrill and the shine;
Out of the dearth and the famine,
Into the fitness divine.
Out of the sigh and the silence
Into the deep-swelling song;
Out of the exile and bondage
Into the home-gathered throng.

A TRIED AND PROVED
 GUARANTEE
Man Bought a Bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, Then Took It Back and Asked for His
 Money and Got It

A man recently tried out the guarantee which the Newark Drug Co. gives with every bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. He bought a bottle and then went back to the durg store and said the medicine hadn't helped him.
 This druggist just reached into his cash register and took out half a dollar, the price of the bottle of Liver Tone and handed 1t back to the gentleman. But he didn't take the money. He owned up that he was just trying the guarantee and, as a matter of tact, he had found Dodson's Liver Tone the best rem edy for constipation and bilious, ness he had ever tried. Why" he said, my wife wouldn't be with out bottle in the house for any thing. It's the best thing in the world for the whole family, and the medicine that prefer to take or to give to my children for a lazy liver"
 The Newark Drug Co. sells Dod- sons Liver Tone and guarantees it to start the liver without vio- lence. It is taking the place of calomel everywhere. If you buy a bottle and don't find this pleas ant-tasting vegetable liquid the best thing to start a lazy liver, they will hand your money back with smile. (Ady)

SILO IS PROFITABLE

N. A. Speed, formerly of this place but now of Heber Springs, sends The Journal a photograph of a fine herd of cattle gathered around his silo. Mir. Speed has found the stock bushes very prof itable, and in regard to silo he says.
 T built my silo in the summer and filled 1t about two-thirds full. l fed 135 head of cattle of out 1t for 90 days and then finished them on meat and hulls. think the silo the grandest thing yet for the man who raises or feeds hogs and cattle. 1 note that some of my friends there are considering the silo, and you may tell any of them who are likely to want to build that they need not be the least afraid of the silo as an invest ment, for they are certainly worth the money. You can cut corn just as 1t passes from the roastingear stage, and have your peas sowed and then turn in hogs and cattle and have them fat and ready for market. 1 find that cattle like sil- age better than almost any other kind of feed, and they thrive on it.
