Here's Natures Own
Remedy Fer Caiarrh
HyOmei Relieves Catarrh Without the
Use of Dangerous Drugs

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully say
that real remedy for catarrh was
known.
Hyomei is an oil and its air is
breathed through a small inhaler fur
nished with it for few minutes four
times a day, and during that time ev-
cry particle Of this Hyomei-laden air
taken into the air passages and lungs
is impregnated with a powerful germ
killing and health-giving antiseptic.
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases and
never make a permanent cure of cat
arrh. But when the air of Hyomei
penetrates to The inmost air cells of
the lungs and enters the blood with
the oxygen it not only kills the germs
in the throat and nose, but kills the
bacilli in the blood, freeing the nue.
Gus membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and giving perfect health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suf-
ficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Wortley & French have so much
faith in the merit of Hyomei that
they agree to return the money to any
purchaser who is not thoroughly sat-
isfied.-adv.

Good Roads Department
Conducted Especially for the Banner by Hon. p
T. Colgrove, President of the Michigan
Good Roads Association.

Following is the address given by
Prof. c. G. Cox at the big meeting of
the board of commerce and the grange
in Willard hall last Friday evening.
The address is too long to print in
one week an hence will be continued.
1t will be of interest TO every reader
of the Banner:
Michigan's Dollars and Michigan's
Roads
Few people realize the Importance
of an adequate system of wagon roads.
Very few have an idea of what such a
system will cost. A still fewer num-
Der realize the magnitude of the prob
lem involved in their construction and
maintenance. In Michigan the pro-
gress in road building has been slow.
In fact, previous to 1905, when the
state highway department was organ
lied, comprehensive systems of high
ways were little thought of. Road
building had been considered a neigh
borhood affair. In ten years some
progress has been made. This pro-
gress has been mainly along the line
Of the proper attitude that should be
taken by the people OF the state to-
ward road Improvement. Methods of
construction and road management
improved very little.
Michigan is till far behind it's
neighboring states inthe total miles of
road constructed. In fact, it has only
obtained good start Out of a total
of 10000 miles of road in the state
only about 5000 miles, or 4.3 per cent
have been improved in such a manner
that it can be considered a perman-
ent construction. Comparatively
speaking, Michigan has raised very
little money from year to year for
road purposes. Yet the total expend-
ed for roads during the past ten years
seems almost incredible. From 1905
to 1915 there was raised for road pur-
poses by direct taxation, $45,364, 1867.
This has all been expended on the
roads of Michigan. Aside from this
about 100000 has been expended
that was raised by bond issues. So
the total expenditure for the ten years
just past has exceeded $4,000, 900.
This $50,000,000 was derived from the
following sources: $2,250,000 or As

per cent represents appropriations
made by the state legislature TO pay
the state reward earned by counties
and townships in building roads under
the state reward law. $4,000, 900 or
lO per cent is the amount raised by
various counties and townships by
bond issues. $8,885,715 or II per
cent is the amount levied by the
boards OF supervisors in those counties
operating under the county road law.
S34 ,529, l16 or 68.5 per cent is the
township road tax.
The thing most noticeable in these
figures is that large road taxes are
not caused by road appropriations
made by the state legislature or the
boards of supervisors. 1876 per cent
or nearly 4-5 of all of the road money
expended in Michigan between 1906
and 1915 was raised by the people
themselves as township road taxes on
township meeting day" or by direct
vote on bond issues. This seems to
indicate that the people want good
roads and are willing to pay for
them. Judging by the rate Of in
crease in the money expended for
highways in the past ten years, Mich
igan will spend S250,000,000 for the
same purpose during the next ten
years. People are beginning to see
that as a business proposition they
cannot afford poor roads.
Paying for good roads, however, is
like buying anything else. You can
not afford to do without the article
purchased unless its cost is so great
that there is no incentive to buy; that
is, it is better business proposition
to do without it, There is a danger if
we do not heed in time that roads
may become so expensive that we
cannot afford them. In the past most
people have been content to put up
the money to pay for roads, and have
given very little attention to the COM
potency of the organization that ex-
Ponds this money. Unfortunately, the
organize that spends the most
money for the construction and main
ttnarce of roads in Michigan (the
township organization is the one that
has the least efficiency and the one

CONGRESS TO BE ASKED
TO REVISE TARIFF

Hal A. Smith of Detroit, formerly
of Ionia, who is now general coun-
sci for the Michigan Manufacturers
association, was one Of the speakers
at the conference of the National
Manufacturers association held in
Chicago last week.
Big business men from all parts
OF the country were present to con
fer on tariff program representing
their views. Wholesale changes in
the present tariff will be asked of
Congress. The conference was un-
der the auspices of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association.
THE tariff law is not producing
sufficient revenue to meet the increas-
ing expense Of our national admin
istration which undoubtedly will be
added to if we increase our army and
navy" said b. A. Ickhart, head of a
milling company in Chicago. when
the war is over the United States

world. European manufacturers will
try to unload here to make up for
lost profits. The tariff should be
reconstructed to protect the welfare
of our workers, skilled and unskilled,
and solely with the object of pro-
tecting and stimpulating the trade
upon which gener al prosperity de-

Starvation of Bees

That proper insulation of the hives
and an adequate supply of stores will
greatly reduce the winter losses now
suffered by beekeepers was pointed
out in the issue of the News Letter
for October 20. Figures for the losses
in the winter of 1914-15, compiled by
the department and published in Bull
letin $50, now present additional evil
dence on this point.
For the entire country the average
loss last winter was 1876 per cent. The
chief factor in this total starvation, to
which was attributed the destruction
of 3.2 per cent of the colonies. 1t is
not unlikely, however, that the actual
loss was greater than this estimate,
for many beekeepers who omitted to
assign any reason for the death of
their bees were probably reluctant to
admit that their neglect of a simple
precaution was responsible. By mod
Grafton in removing surplus honey and
by the proper feeding of sugar strip
in the fall and spring, starvation can
be absolutely avoided.
The quantity of stores needed to
carry a colony in good condition
through the winter will, of course,
vary with varying conditions. The
average amount reported for the en-
tire country is 31.9 pounds, but the
average for Utah alone is given as 49
and for Nevada and Florida as 40. To
be on the safe side the beekeeper
should provide stores largely in eX-
cess of what he anticipates the colony
will need, for, as was pointed out in
the article already mentioned, his real
aim is to save bees rather than stores.
There is, moreover, nothing to indicate
that the stores should be less abund-
ant in the warmer and shorter win
tiers of the South than in the North
and West. The reasons for this are
not entirely clear, but a study of the
average quantities required in each
state fails to reveal variations that
correspond to differences in climate,
except that there is a shorter brood
less period in the South.
While SO per cent of the colonies
persisted from starvation, only O.9 per
cent were lost through cold, exposure,
and smothering. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that, as is explained
in Farmers Bulletin 695, the consump-
ton of stores is greatly increased
whenever the bees are forced to pro-
tect themselves from the cold by ex-
ceessive heat production. insufficient
insulation of the hives is, therefore,
in all probability, an indirect cause
of much of the loss attributed to
starvation.
Next to starvation, poor honey and
dysentery are responsible for the larg-
est winter losses. In 1914-15, 81 per
cent of the colonies persisted on this
account. Like starvation and cold,
this factor can be readily eliminat-
ed by little care at the proper time.
Honeydew honey is a common cause
of bee dysentery, and whenever this
is present in the fall it should be re-
moved. Honey Of different charac-
ter or sugar strip may be substitute
ed. Proper insulation will lessen the
amount of these stores that must be
provided, but it is hardly possible for

No Compensation for Liquor Men


The liquor men are beginning to
talk for compensation when their
traffic has been outlawed. Whenever
an army sees defeat coming il begins
to suggest terms with the victor.
This talk about compensation COM
ing from the liquor camp is an ac-
acknowledgement that they see the day
fast dawning when Prohibition shall
win.
The thousands of liquor men, who in
the past have been voted out of bust
ness, have not been compensated;
where would there be any justice in
compensating those who in the future
shall be forbidden to sell alcoholic Ii
quors?
This nation has already outlawed
slavery, polygamy, the lottery and
the opium traffic, and those who suf-
fered financial loss were not compen-
stated.
Governments never compensate
those engaged in immoral pursuits,
and in traffic which is against the
public welfare, when public sentiment
is aroused to outlaw them.
There are millions of dollars now
invested in the white slave trade to
debauch our daughters. Would you
compensate these human hyenas
when we succeed in successfully stop
ping their traffic?
The liquor traffic in America is a
greater curse than slavery, poly
gamy, the lottery, the opium trade
and the white slave trade combined
and shall we think for one moment
that our government should pay the
losses of the liquor traffic when it
shall be prohibited
The laws of every state permit the
confscation of private property for
the public good. The Prohibition will
not destroy liquor property; it will
only prevent liquor men from further
using their property to injure the
community; they can convert it into
legitimate uses, as many former Ii
quor men are doing under Prohibi-
ton.

Parserye the Ashes


Just the other day farmer asked
for advice as to what was lacking IN
a muck soil on which he was unable
to grow profitable crops.
The element of fertility most likely
to be lacking on that soil is potash,
and the only available source of pot
ash with which to supply the fertility
at the present time in wood ashes.
The wood ashes contain from seven
to nine per cent of potash and about
two per cent of phosphoric acid, in
addition to 80 per cent or more of
lime. With the increased value OF
potash due to the impossibility of Sc
curing same, the conservation of the
ashes from wood burned as fuel is
more than ordinarily important. They
should be kept in a dry place and
judiciously used as top dressing for
the soil where the owners judgment
indicates that the addition of potash
will increase crop production to the
greatest degree. Investigators have
maintained that ashes are well worth
from 20 to 25 cents per bushel for
their plant food content alone. This
being true under normal conditions,
they are very much more valuable un-
der present conditions of potash
scarcity. Aside from this, their caus-
tic properties are very valuable as a
soil amendment in all cases where a
soil needs lime.

Temperance Movement in Japan

A growing temperance sentiment IN
Japan is reported by Rev. Z. o. Mills,
who is engaged in evangelistic work
among railway men. Last summer,
for example, a temperance society
was organized in Fukuako with over
one hundred members, and this year
on New Years Day, which is usually
time of drunkenness, the station
master was brave enough to leave
sake out Of the fare. His many call
ers were served with q favorite non
Intoxicating drink made from parched
grain.
The usual excursion for railroad
employees was held in March, and the
Western Kyushu section met in Fuku-
Okla. Three special trains brought the
people for a day, returning in the
evening. During the five days $500
came. They met in the largest the
atre, afterward spending the remain
ing hours in sightseeing. For the en-
tire trip sake was prohibited. The SUI
perintendent of the Kyushu lines and
his wife are both earnest Christians.
The wives of many of the men were
also present. All of the people were
happy, and it was a fine example of
temperance, for even in the parks none
of these thousands of people bought
even beer. There still remains a great
battle to fight against strong drink in
Japan, but there are many encourage
ing signs of vistory.

the beekeeper to be lavish in this re-
spect.
AS was pointed out in the previous
article, it is also impossible to give
the bees too much protection, and it
is very rare that they are given
enough In the North the percentage
of colonies which receive some form
of protection is very high, but farther
South the protection is only OCCASION
al, and then almost always insufficient.
AS result winter losses in the
Southerneastern and South Central
states range from to Is per cent,
while in the important honey states
of Texas, Colorado, Utah, and Cali
fornia the averages run from to
slightly over 10 per cent.
In the opinion Of bee specialists, it
would be quite possible to reduce win
ter losses to less than / per cent by
providing abundant stores and abund-
ant insulation. The contrast between
this goal and the actual conditions as
reported in Bulletin 235 is striking.
