GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD
THIS GUARANTEED REMEDY

If your child is under-weight, hstless,
ailing, liable to get sick easily, it needs a
medicine to build its weight and strength.
For this purpose there is nothing else we
know of that we can so strongly endorse as
Rexall Olive OIL Emulsion The remark
able success of this splendid medicine is
due to the fact that it contains ingredients
that tone the nerves, enrich the blood and
furnish to the entire system the strength,
weight and health-building substances it
needs And, it does all this without iniur-
ing the stomach In fact, Rexall Olive Oil
Emulsion is not only pleasant to take, but
even the most sensitive stomach is bene-
fitted by it, and the digestion improved On
the other hand, it contains no alcohol or
habit-torming drugs, which most parents
object to giving their children. 1t does its
good work by taking hold of the weakness
and builds the body up TO its natural
strength, at the same time making it strong
TO resist disease.
If Rexall Olive OIL Emulsion doesn't
build your child up, feed the stunted, puny
muscles, and make the little one lively,
strong, well, and full of the animal spirits
children are meant by nature to have, come
back and tell us and get your money back.
We don't want you to lose a cent. w
this is no more than fair, and it leaJ
no cause to hesitate For old peoH
for convalescents-for all who a

Senator Brady has introduced an
amendment to the $25, 600, 10000 Good

PREVENT STEEP ROAD CUTS
Difficulty Usually Experienced IN
Mountains or hlIIy Country Is In
Repairing Washouts.

In mountainous or billy country
where the roads must be built with
considerable grade, one difficulty
which is usually experienced in their
maintenance is in repairing washouts.
When a heavy shower falls upon
the road and adjoining country. water
will find its way to the depressions,
worn by the wheels. 1t flows down
these depressions, gaining volume and
velocity as it goes until the road sur
face Is eroded and deep ruts often
formed. The road which was good In
the beginning Is now rough and rutty
and unpleasant and even dangerous to-
travel over.
One OF the very best methods for
preventing this cutting writes E. B..
House Of the Colorado Agricultural
College is to build across the road at
Intervals of two or three hundred feet.
bitches running entirely across the
road. These bitches should be about
one foot deep and perhaps three feet
wide. They should be so located that
they will discharge their water at
some distance from the road and in
such places that the water will con-
tinue on down the hill from the road.
In order that the road may be-
smooth. plank bridges are placed
across these bitches. These are very
simple affairs. AKA answering the pur-.
pose for the stringers and 2x6s or 2x4s
doing very well for the flooring These
planks should be placed SO that cracks
one and one-half to two inches wide
are left between each plank. These
cracks then running across the road
allow the water coming down the road
to 60 through them, into the ditch and
pass away. In this way the volume
of water. flowing over the road surface
Is kept down and cutting prevented.

soRAH A NATIONAL FACTOR

Washington Eastern newspapers
have been commenting favorably on
the Lincoln day speech delivered in
New York by Senator Borah of Idaho
in which he made an appeal for re-
organization OF the Republican party
on progressive lines and under pro-
gressive leaders. A few Of the stand
pat papers have criticised the
speech, claiming that the Republican
party can only be recognized on old
lines and under old leaders. In the
main, however, comments on this
speech has been favorable. 1t is con.
coded by many papers that Senator
Borah must be reckoned with in 1916
when the Republican party selects its
candidate for president. The only
argument advanced against the Idaho
senator is that he comes from a state
having but four electoral votes. Al
ways in the past the big parties have
chosen their candidates from states
with large political influence, and If
that precedent should be followed in
1915 Senator Borah would be handi.
capped by reason Of the fact that he
comes from Idaho. Nevertheless it
seems to be the opinion of a good
many political writer's that Senator
Borah's geographical handicap can be
overcome and the assertion is made
that he is today better suited
than any other one man in public life
to lead the movement for a reorgan-
lied party. Senator Borah, while pro.
gressive in his beliefs, is still staunch
in his loyalty to the Republican par
ty, and in the senate enjoys the con-
fidence and respect of both factions
of the Republican party and occupies a
middle ground as between the older
standpat element and the radical pro-
gressives. 1t is not to be presumed
that the next Republican nominee for
president will be a man of the Taft
type, nor on the other hand, will it

Hospitals For TubercuIar Indians

Washington, D. c., Feb. 24.-The
House of Representatives today ap-
proved the item in the Indian Appro-
priation Bill providing for the ex-
penditure of $26O,000 for the care of
tuberculosis patients and the pre-
vention Of tuberculosis among the
several Indian tribes. Mr.. French has
been active in urging this appropria-
ton and in a speech on the floor of
the House pointed out that in the
Nez Perez Reservation, a recent
medical examination has disclosed q
deplorable condition among the In
dians. He cited the report of a
medical examiner to the effect that
Of 400 families examined, only ten
were found to be free from tubercu.
losis and the estimate Of the medical
examiner was that rs per cent of the
Indians of the reservation are af-
flicted with the dread disease, while
80 per cent of deaths are the result
of some form of tuberculosis. Mr..
French urged the appropriation, not
only FOR the relief Of the Indians, but
for the protection as well Of white
people whose homes are among the
Indians.
