Gated by "Citizen."

On March IA the Telegram pub
lished an article on Direct Tax for
Building Of Our Roads Rather Than
a Bond ISSUE" by our mutual friend
Taxpayer"
We agree with the gentleman when
he says that "seventy-five per cent
OF the taxpayers are in favor OF good
roads, etc." but Join issue with the
statement THAT there are two sec
tons of the district that need to
have their roads inproved-tho
Simpson creek side and the Brushy
fork side" 1t is said that the famous
"Appain Way" was built by Appius
Claudius about three hundred and
ten years B. c.. which led from
southern Italy to Rome, and from
that day unto this we have the trite
saying IAN roads lead to Rome. -
And we ask the voters on the coming
bond issue, why should not all roads
lead to Bridgeport as provided in the
resolution offered by the Hon. John
c. johnson at the mass meeting held
March 10?
Simpson district is rather large
district and at the present time it
Is impossible to make all permanent
roads in the district lead to Bridge
port. There are three towns in
Simpson district, viz: Bridgeport,
Grasselli and Meadowbrook, Bridge
port being the only one incorporated
as town. Meadowbrook is situated
at the mouth of Simpson creek,
about ........ miles distance from
bridgeport and about ...... miles
from Clarksburg, hence is it practical
and good judgment to build for a
permanent road from Meadowbrook
connecting with the Clarksburg and
Fairmont pike. originally knowns MS
the Weston and Fairmont pike, CIV
ing the people at Meadowbrook d.
rect connection to Clarksburg on the
south, and Shinnston on the
north. and all other roads on the
Simpson creek side should lead to
the center of Bridgeport, or rather
lead from Bridgeport as far out
into the district as possible.

Now. as to the Brushy fork side.

the country seldom go to Bridgeport

Drive lCatarrh Away
sase, by Purifying Your Blood

During. winter, nature changes the
blood of man and we, because of our
habits, unconsciously do those things
which are against nature. Then far
down amid the vital organs creep
weaknesses, that otr blood is not Wig
orous enough to fight off.
Here is where Chtarrh enters and
quickly makes conquest. We feel
the effects of a cold in nose or throat
and sometimes in lungs and stomach.
The most common symptoms of the
presence of Catarrh is an inflamed and
tender condition of the breathing pas
sages and the blocking of throat and
nostrils with mucous.
1t is frequent mistake to treat
this symptom and neglect the actual
disease.
II the blood was pure and vigorous
Catarrh would not get foothold. But
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-04-03

having gotten foothold in our sys-
TEN, the only possible way to cure the
disease is to remove the impurities
from the blood and at the same time
tone up the blood so it will become
vigorous and healthy again.
The use of washes, sprays, salves,
have only a temporary local effect;
they do not reach the disease. S. S. S.
has proved for half a century to be
the most powerful antidote to poison
in the blood. It's action is to
strengthen the blood corpuscles so they
fight off disease. If you suffer from
Catarrh in any of its forms, don't be
misled into treating the symptoms but
take S. S. S. and remove the cause.

the genuine. Write our Medical De-

METHOD FOR DRYING UP COW
No Specific Rule for Such Work.
Judgment and Experience Of
Attendant Is Required.

A cow should be dried off for si1
weeks before calving. 1t may take
two weeks to dry her off, that depend
ing upon the persistency Of milk flow
To dry off a cow the rich feed has
to be removed and the cow allowed
to pasture short grass or eat hay
Some milk is left in the quarters al
each milking at first; then a milking
is omitted; then the milking is done
every other day, and afterward only
little milk is taken, as seen to be
necessary. There is no specific rule
for such work, and it requires the besl
judgment and experience of the at
tendant.

milk day to grow into a $40 veal at
one month
That it costs more to veal a cali
than it will ordinarily bring is bad
enough in itself and deserves deliber.
alton on the part of the farmer who
may not have given the matter Of cost
systems much thought, says writer
in an exchange. The point is that the
calf is worth practically nothing until
labor and capital have been put into
him.
If anyone doubts this statement let
him try to sell an ordinary calf when
1t is three days old and see what II
Will bring. 1t takes time and effort
and money to bring calf to the point
where it is productive. Its value a,
birth is potential rather than actual
1t would be as reasonable to credit,
the cow with a yearling worth SO az
month.old calf worth $40.
A wellbred, registered calf is worth
goodly sum at birth because the
purchaser can feed it expensive milk
grain and hay and still make a profit
on its ultimate value. An ordinary
calf would eat SO much before it be
came productive that only a thought
less person would pay anything for il
at the beginning of its career
Hence a cow may properly be cred
tied with the actual selling value Of
her calf before any money is invested
in its development.
