CLEANS THE BLOOD

The gratifying results attending
the faithful use of the new medici-
nal combination, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla before eating and Peptiron
after eating, are seen in purer blood,
stronger nerves, improved condition
Of the whole system.
They are results that make this
course of treatment the most eco
nomical for sufferers from impure,
impoverished blood, weak, unsteady
nerves-no other accomplishes so
much for each cent expended.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pept-
IRON aid each other, and to take
both is to derive a four-fold benefit.
If a laxative is needed in connec-
ton with them, the gentle and thor
ough Hoods Pills should be used.

The Internal Revenue Bureau has sent
out statement in relation to the new
war revenue law which contains this
clause:
Upon every citizen rests the response
bility of contributing to the utmost of
his ability toward the successful termina-
ton OF the war. 1t is the unquestIoned
duty of every true American citizen not
only to pay the full tax the law requires
OF him but to remove every possible OBJ
stacle to the successful administration of
the law by the Bureau of Internal Reeve
nue."
1t ought not to be necessary for any
American citizen to be told his duty in
this manner. Tax-dodging in war time
should be as Infamous as sniping; and
we are not sure that it ought not to be
punished in the same way.

THE GOOD ROADS OUTLOOK.

There is a movement in Illinois in
behalf of a bond issue of $50, 900, 900
for the construction of hard roads. 1t
is stated that the program contem-
splated would put Illinois up to fourth
position among the states within a
decade. leaving New York, California
land Massachusetts ahead as road
builders.
This is large sum to spend on the
public highways. but little would be
thought of it if it were being invested
in railroad building by corporation.
If railroad company can invest mon
icy in lines of transportation and reap
a profit, why can not the people of a
state build roads for their own use
profitably? The returns might not he
SO direct or apparent but would they
be any less certain?
The difficulty in the way of i'm
proved highways appears to be that
while everybody is in favor of them.
nobody seems willing to help pay the
cost.
Another obstacle in the past has
been the lack of system. Enough
money has been expended on roads IN
Kansas since it became a state to
have built an excellent system of
communication il the work had been
concentrated and done with a view to
-permanency. Little but patchwork
has ever been done
1t is not so many years since con-
tractors grew rich, in working out the
road tax assessed against the railroad DIS
while the latter were saving a large
sum by the system. For the WORK
that was done there is nothing to
show in the way of permanent hard
roads
In voting aid for the states. in road
building. it is unfortunate that con-
gress did not provide that the work be
done under the direction of the fed
eral engineering department. 1t then
would have been done right
The fight that has already started
in the legislature over road legisla-
ton indicates that the rivalry that will
arise among various interests for a
chance at the money to be expended
may cripple or destroy the entire pro-
gram.

AMERICA is DIVIDED
Southern Countries Disagree in Atti-
tudc Toward Germany

Buenos Aires. Feb. 2-South Amer
lea is far from being a unit in viewing
Germany's notice of a new sea war
The widest divergence of views was
apparent in dispatches here today.
Not more than four of the great South
American republics are officially OPP
posed to Germany's institution of a
barred zone, at feast five republics
appear frankly to sympathize with
Germany's action.
Here in Argentina the mixture of
natIonalities makes newspapers pro-
coed carefully in expressing any edi-
torial views on the new situation.
The average in the street in Argen-
tina, however, is personally bitter in
his denunciation of Germany's latest
move. Argentine officialdom gener-
ally considers the German reprisal to
be entirely legitimate.
Judging from advices here. Chile,
Ecuador. Bolivia, Paraguay and Co
lombia all sympathize with Germany,
while Brazil Peru, Uruguay and
Venezuela appear to be aligned def
initely against such a measure.
1t therefore appears that no joint
pan-American action is possible.
