blood is thinner 1t irritates the inner
lining OF the heart, nose and throat;
this causes an excessive excitement
of the heart and makes congestion

heart fbers come off and also the

chokes the circulation from the brain

they take, and causes paralysis.
A pressure on the kidneys will
numb the nerves and cause them to

best remedy known. The free use of
boiled or distilled water is urged, as
1t drives the ammonia out of the sys-

FEDERAL AID FOR GOOD ROADS.
Waterloo Times Tribune.1
Before it gets thru, whether it is
organized for that purpose or not the
Taxpayers League, operating in Iowa,
is to be source of great good to the
good roads movement. 1t will be
source Of good because it will, by agi-
tation, stir up the opposition to great
deeds. The Taxpayers League is
wrong in its conclusions and being
wrong in its conclusions it can not
70 tn S-or
opponents from making Roadway.
Some Of the members of the league
are already explaining that they are
not in favor of doing away with the
state highway commission. but the
general understanding is that the
league is not only for dissolution of
the commission, but is for placing the
matter Of road building as to bridges
and culverts back into the hands of
the boards Of supervisors. which
means that the bridge and culvert
contractors will have the state by the
throat again.
The federal government has just
passed and the president has signed
a bill for federal aid to the state high
ways. The appropriation is for $685.
100000 to be spent within a period of
five years on good roads. OF this sum
Iowa's share will be 50 250. 900 Not a
cent of this money will be given to
Iowa if Iowa has not state supervision
of road building. The federal gov
eminent is not inclined to have its
money wasted and it knows that with
out uniform system of road build
ing the money would be wasted. We
have an example Of federal aid in the
building of the Hawkeye Highway
from Dyersville to Dubuque. This
piece of road is going to be the best
in the state Of Iowa: the federal gov
eminent paid half the expense. If
RlackhaWk county were awake to it's
opportunity. it would call" the fed
eral government for e-half the
money to improve the Hawkeye High
way out of this city to Jesup-or so
far as the money would reach.
In the face of this, that We should
have men in the state who would ad
wise the dissolution of the state high
way commission. is strange How
short sighted they are is so apparent
that there need be no reference to II.
They would deliberately throw away
a gift of s2,50O.O0O.
When the people or Iowa ger 10
studying the situation carefully, they
will decide that the Taxpayers League
is not menace to Iowa, as some have
suggested. but that it is Just a
nuisance carried on by a>band Of stub
born men. misguided zealcts and cheap
politicians. 1t will come to the fair
minded people Of Iowa that the Tax
payers League has no cause for exist
ence and then the organization Will
fall Of its own weight because those
of its membership. who want some
thing for nothing will find more to
their profit by getting out of the or
ganization than nv staying in.
