Like ClOck-Work!
(By N. B. Cook. NJ. D1


The machinery Of the body needs to be
oiled. kept in good condition just as the
automobile or bicycle. Why should the
human neglect his own machinery more
than that Of his horse or his engine?
Yet most people do neglect themselves
Their tongue has a dark brown color,
skin sallow, breath bad. let they fail to
see that their machinery needs attention.
Everybody should take mild laxative at
least once a week. A pleasant way to
clear the tongue and the highly colorei
water noticed In the morning is to take
laxative which will cure the inactive
liver and biliousness.
A pleasant vegetable pill is made up Of
May-apple, leaves of aloes, and jalap.
made into tiny pellet and coated with
sugar. First put up by DR.. Pierce nearly
so years ago. Druggists sell these vege-
table pellets in walls. simply ask for DR..
Pirce's pleasant Pellets.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you. or If
uric acid in the blood has caused rheu-
matism, govt or sciatica, II you suspect
that you have kidney or bladder trouble,
write DR.. Pierce. at Invalids' Hotel, Buff
falo, n. Y, send a sample OF urine, and
describe symptoms. A physician and
chemist will examine it without charge
and you will be under no obligation
whatever. DR.. Pierce's Anuric tablets
cannot fail to help you, because their ac-
ton flushes the kidneys Of impurities
and puts strength into them.
Obtain a 50-cent box Of these tablets to-
day from your druggist here in town
From personal observation in large hos

BUILDING ROADS BY
BONDS AND BY LEVY
Bond Issue Is Said To Be Best
and Most Logical Way.

Under the law in West Virginia,
funds to construct good roads may be
raised in TWO ways: ~ by issuing
bonds (2) by special levy. Only a
very few counties in the state are
attempting to improve roads with
funds derived from special levies as
1t has been found that this method
is wasteful and barren of results.
Lewis county is a fitting example. Al
ter trying to build hard surface roads
under a special levy for two years,
the officials became dissatisfied with
the slow progress and finally decid-
ed to vote on a $1,000, 600 bond issue.
Only a-medium sum of money IS avail
able each year under the special levy
plan and as result only small
number of miles can be built L has
been found that outside contractors
are not Interested in such small jobs,
and consequently the bidding is not
active.
The object in road building is to
get the use of the roads whte pay
ing for them, just as the business
man has the use of borrowed money
for the expansion and improvement
of his business. This is made pos
sible only By issuing bonds. To Dor
row money on your realty to develop
or improve your property is consider
cd sound business, and the office Of
Public Roads, Department Of Agricul-
ture, at Washington, D C.. has found
after a thorough investigation Of all
methods which have been used TO Sc
cure money to build good roads that
the bond issue is the best and most
logical way as well as the cheapest
for every community. With the
stamp of approval upon this method
by the Federal Government, no fear
should be felt that it IS unsatisfactory
by any taxing unit in West Virginia
Bond issues aggregadng approximate
ly $15,000,000 have already been pass
ed in West Virginia. and the coming
year will see this amount increased
by several million dollars
