The annual township election will be
held on Tuesday Marcn II. AT the
succeeding meeting, the supervisors
appoint a township overseer OF highways
in compliance with Chapter % of the
1913 Session Laws, who must be a
practical road builder and whose COM
pensation is fixed by the supervisors.
He is held responsible for the mainten-
ance of the township highways and the
repairs of bridges and culverts through
the entire year. Until this year, the
responsibility of road construction and
maintenance was shouldered by many
district overseers in each township.
Patchwork and poor roads being the
result with neglected bridges and cul-
verts. TOWNSHIPS like South Dresden
which have used the contract system for
years have Settered their roads materi-
ally and it is hoped that when this law
becomes operative 1t will bring forth
uniform and much-needed improvement
All road taxes and assessments upon
persons Or property shall be in cash
Any taxpayer in the township is per
mitted to work out his road tax provid.

intention before May 18th. His com
pensation is paid for out of the 1owp
ship road fund and the amount per diem
is fixed by the supervisors which shall.
be not less than 81, so a day or morethar

1rHIE DIARY OFF
FAT HEIR THINE

II seems strange 10 us OF the
modern world that a nation should
hold markets, sell cattle. lend on
interest. pay salaries. and collect
taxes without even knowing the use
OF small coin. yet business In Egypt
was mostly carried on by barter.
Purchasers brought with them some
product OF their toil.-a new tool, n
pair of shoes, reed mat, pots OF
unguents or cordials. rows of cow
ries and small box full OF rings
made OF copper. silver. or even gold,
all destined to be bartcred for such
things as they needed.
When Il came To a question OF
some object OF considerable value.
Il was necessary to be agreed not
only as to the amount, but - to
the nature OF the payment to be
made. and to draw up sort OF In
voice. or inventory in which beds.
sticks. honey. oil, and garments all
figured as equivalents for q bull or
an ass. Smaller retail bargains did
not demand so many or such com
plicated calculations. Tho Baby.
lonians were also unacquainted with
the use of money, but from the
earliest times the employment of
precious metals for the purpose OF
exchange . was practiced among
them.

fact that constipation and indiges-

apparatus is to start life without

But, as we cannot all have per-
feet working bowels we must do
the next best thing and acquire
them, or train them to become
healthy. This can be done by -
use Of laxative-tonic very highly
recommended by great many
mothers. The remedy IN called DR..
CaldweIl's Syrup Pepsln and has
been on the market for two gener:
atoms. IL can be bought conven-
fently at any drug store for fifty
cents or one dollar bottle, and
those who are already convinced
OF its merits buy the dolla size.
Its mildness makes Il the Ideal
medicine for children, and It is also
very pleasant TO tle taste. II is
sure in its effect, and genuinely
harmless. Very little OF It Is re-
quired and It's frequent use does
not cause IL TO lose ~ effect, as is
the case with SO many other rem.

merits IN constipation, indigestion,
