pixies, but upon my appearance before
the Advisory Board, about a month
ago, they told me there were 1862 miles
of turnpike in the County. Don't you
think they are good guessers to miss
IL almost 30 per cent? The condition
of the turnpikes would justify one in
remarking, that Mason County tax-
payers are not getting value received
for our road fund by 30 per cent. Our
Advisory Board told me that they had
arranged, this year, to spend $4,000
of the 1916 fund for bridge repair,
leaving about $1,000 to be spent for
all the work on the roadways, proper.
We have the greatest bridge building
outfit in the world, expect. They
certainly think that the bridges are
the high spots and that the taxpayers
of Mason County are like themselves
capable of Just touching the high
spots.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years doctors pronounced it to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

f J. Cheney G. Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is
the only Constitutional cure on the
