OLD LADY
FEELING fine
After Taking Four Bottle. o.
Cardui, The Woman. Tonic.

Golden, 1ll.-"Having used Cardui,
the woman's tonic, in my family, for
number Of years." writes Mrs. Kate
Metz, Of this town, "and always with
such good results, feel it my duty to
write you about it, SO that you may
publish my letter.
My mother is living with me, and
she is 81 years old. For the last three
or four years, she has been troubled =
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at q time, she would have .
severe headache.
She read Of how much Cardui has
helped other women who were sick
and ailing, and decided to give it .
trial. She began taking 1t three times
. day, and since then has been getting
along simply fine.
Mother only used four bottles Of
Cardui, but she is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and her
stomach is so much stronger that she
can eat most anything.
We both feel that any lady who -
not strong and well, would be greatly
benefited BY the use Of Cardui."

WAS AN ORDERLY
49,, FOR GEN. WALLACE
Samuel 3. RowIey, Who Was Found
Dead at His Home, Carried Dis
patches for Famous Soldier.

The cavalry trooper who carried the
first dispatches at the battle Of Shiloh
for General Lew Wallace, famous SOL
der and author, answered the final
roll call when Samuel B. Rowley died,
according to stories which he often re-
lated to friends, says the Burlington
Gazette. Rowley, who acted as order
ly for General Wallace during many
hard fought battles, often related Incl
dents of the shot torn, bloody fields of
the civil war when he galloped with
messages to other commanders be-
meath the hail of bullets and bursting
shells. He was never wounded, but
lived to die alone in the kitchen of his
home and even the exact hour when
he was finally mustered out, is Tin
known.
The veteran was born August IA,
1889, in Newark. N. j., but following
the civil war had long been resi-
dent Of southeastern Iowa. He also

IOWA IS BEHIND
IN WORK ON ROADS
Twenty.seventh Position on List Of
states Which Have Taken Up
Activities for
Highways.
HAS ONLY 1905 MILES
This Is Total Of Improved Highways
and the Cost Is Only
About $4,000, 900
Annually.
HAS ONLY 1905 MILES

The following is taken from a PAM
phlet issued by the Greater Iowa as
ISOLATION:
"At the present time Iowa is TWEEN
ty-seventh in the list Of states as far
as getting good roads is concerned. If
we are going to get up in the front
rank we must hurry. That the bond
ing scheme is practical is evidenced
by the fact that last year over $780,
100000 worth Of county road bonds
were authorized, issued and sold The
counties of Florida bonded them
selves for ten millions Of dollars for
road Improvement last year; noun
famous bluegrass Kentucky reports
that twelve of her counties issued
good roads bonds last year totalling
s3,00J,O00. The counties of Tennessee
bonded themselves last year for near
ly $50O0,O0O for road Improvement
while the Texas counties exceeded $751;
100000. Even the counties Of West
Virginia Appropriated $2,000,O00 in
their bond issue last year for good
roads.
when $4O,0O0,O00 worth of road
bonds are authorized and issued in
one year; it is pretty nearly proven
that the system is practical
"And that our old system of spend
ing our road funds without proper
state supervision is wasteful and inef-
flcient is evidenced by the fact that
with the exceptions Of California and
New York, Iowa has spent more mon
ey and received worse roads than any
state in the union. .'-'
Indiana, for instance, has $1,000
miles of improved roads, but Indiana
is only spending about ,s9,000,000 n
year. Ohio has 5000 miles of I'M
proved roads, and is spending about
s11,000,O00 a year. And so the story
goes.
But Iowa has only 2,505 miles of
improved roads and is spending $12,-
100000 year. Alabama has twice as
many miles Of improved roads as has
Iowa, and Alabama spends less than
100000 a year on her roads. Georgia
has five times as many miles OF i'm
proved roads as Iowa; and even North
Carolina has so per cent more i'm
proved roads than has Iowa.

In a statement made public yester-

information that the interstate COM

Gemurrage charges as means OF
ending the car shortage. Mr.. Guiher
represented Iowa, Nebraska and Kan
sas at the recent interstate commerce
meeting at Washington. According to
Mr.. Guiher, the commission will adopt
other means to relieve the shortage.
The present car shortage, Mr.. Guih-
err said was found to be due chiefly
to congestion Of cars in Atlantic ports.
The congestion was due, he said, to
the insufficient number Of bottoms
available to take care Of the export
trade.
