Where a Road is Badly Needed.

Last week the Union received the
letter herewith given in full from
Hon. Julius A. Schmahl, Secretary of
State:
Wahkon, Mimi, May 10, 1917.
Julius A. Schmahl, Sec'y Of State.
Dear Sir: I am writing you on a
subject which I suppose belongs to
the Commissioner Of Highways, but
as do not happen to know who he is
am referring the matter to you, and
trust you will put it in the hands of
the one who is supposed to look after
such work.
l am a resident of Isle Harbor town,
Mile Laos county. Have lived and
owned a farm here for nearly three
years. When I first came here they
promised me should have road at
once, but I have no road yet. There
are two other families depending on
getting road so we can get out and
in to our places. We have made pro-
test again and again to the township
supervisors, but to no purpose. We
are helpless.
I cannot afford to feed a team and
not be able to use it. We are leaving
acres stand idle this year simply be-
cause we have no road.
In 1915 cut one mile of roadway
through heavy timber and only
charged the board $50, so might get
an outlet, but I am as bad off today
as was then. --
I am obliged to carry my groceries
and feed from Wahkon on my back, a
distance of " miles, so I and my
stock may subsist. .-,
80 Yet the town supervisors are keep
ing the roads around their places we'll
dragged so they can use their autos.
Is it not the settler who makes the
country prosperous?
Now there is ony IN mile to finish
to get to my corner. The right of way
is cut through, and why can we not
have road so we may at least have
way so that we can get out and in
and not have to walk? I feel as though
| am the loser to the extent of several
hundred dollars for lack of a road
And then what if one of us needs a
doctor? How is he to get here? Not
many doctors will walk from four tc
five miles to visit a patient.
Now, Mr.. Schmahl, 1 beg you to dc
something, or at least hand this tc
someone who will do something toward
getting us road, and that at once.
| With best wishes for your success.

less and less chemical change accom-

at an internal temperature Of about 6S

Don't Neglect Kidneys

II Is row conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
Sas they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex.
.ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid

more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. II

and the girls passed only five houses
on their way home from the meadow

And the girls bowed their heads.
I,ev. Mr.. Morgan cleared his throat,
and began: "0ur Father we thank thee
for this table"
There was more of the blessing, but
the parsonage girls heard not one ad-
ditfonal phrase-except Connie, who
followed him consclentiously through
every word. Carol burst into merry
laughter, close upon his reverent
"Amen"-and after one awful glare
at her sister, Prudence Joined in. and
soon II was a rollicking group around
the parsonage table. Mr.. Morgan him

as soon as Carol could get her breath
she gasped out an explanation.

And the whole family went off once

YOUR TAX COLLECTOR.

Some folks like to say that Mr..
Booze Business is a sort Of indirect
tax collector for Uncle Sam K Co. He
is, and he makes money ut 1t. too. For
every $1,000 in "indIrect" taxes which
he turns into the treasury of the ma
tlonal firm, he also collects another
S5,250, which he keeps for his trouble,
probably as a commission or reward
for his services. You know the kind
of people who charge SO per cent of
the gross amount of their collections
for a commission. Do you want that
kind of a collector In your employ?
Again, the collector" gets more
than five times as much as your firm,
for whom you imagine he is working.
Is he working for you, or working you?

CHAPTER ll-Continued.

So 1t was that the twins and Connie
were alone for a while.
"You did pretty good job, Connie"
said Carol approvingly.
''Yes, think did myself" was the
complacent answer. But / intended
to put in, Keep us as the apple of thy
eye, hold us in the hollow of thy hand
and forgot 1t until / had said Amen
l had a notion to put in a postscript,
but believe that isn't DONE"
"Never mind" said Carol, 'Tll use
that In mine, tomorrow"
1t cannot be said that this form of
family worship was great success.
The twins were invariably stereotyped,
cut and dried. They thanked the Lord
for the beautiful morning for kind
friends, for health, and family, and par
sonage. Connie always prayed In SEN
tences extracted from the prayers of
others she had often heard, and every
time with nearly disastrous effect.
But later on the morning worship
went better. The payers of the chill
dren changed-became more personal,
less flowery. They remembered that
when they knelt they were at the
feet of God, and speaking direct to
him.
The family had been in the new par
sonage only three weeks, when WIS.,
iting minister called on them. 1t was
about ten minutes before the lunch
con hour at the time Of his arrival.
Mr.. Starr was In the country, visiting,
so the girls received him alone. 1t
was an unfortunate day Tor the STAIRS.
Fairy had been at college all morning,
and Prudence had been rummaging in
the attic, getting it ready for rainy
day and winter playroom for the
younger girls. She was dusty and
tired.
The luncheon hour arrived, and the
| girls came in from school, eager to be
up and away again. Still the grave
young minister sat dlscoursing upon
serious topics with the fidgety Pru'
dence-and In spite of dust and per.
spiration, she was good to look upon
Rev. Mr.. Morgan realized that, and
could not tear himself away. Finally
Prudence sighed.
"Do you like sweet corn. Mr.. Nor
gan"
This was entirely out of the line OF
their conversation, and for a moment
he faltered. "Sweet corn?" he repeated
"Yes, roasting ears, you know
cooked on the cob"
Then he smiled. "Oh, yes, indeed
Very much." he said.
"Well," she began her explanation
rather drearily, Il was busy this morn

ave should not discuss moderation
with n man." writes Doctor Matthael,
stan physician in the German army,
and In these words he voices the gen.
eral opinion OF German nnti-alcohol-
lists. "The thing has long since been
settled by science. The use of mar
cotlc polsons is simply indecent and
criminal. One should always decline
to take part In any festival occasion
where drink is used. One who makes
OF well, n slightly alcohol-sick per-
son--i. O., moderate drinker-should
be punished for II socially until we
can get leave to punish legally. Wills
OF men made in an alcohollzed or
slightly alcoholized state should be
contested. Drunkards are made by
hospital prescriptions of alcohol. The
law should hold such hospitals legally
liable. II must be considered incom-
patlble with the honor OF city or
government to allow the activities of
poison factories, such as breweries and
