roads in shape and keep them SO at
the least expense consistent with a
policy OF economy.
This board held a meeting yesterday
and took up the matter of necessary
material for the work that will b
prosecuted this spring and summer.
In the discussion over the various
items not one member failed to voice
his desire that the best equipment BE-
provided that the funds available
would permit, In order that the greater
amount of work might be done with
the least expense.
One item of equipment that is now
used extensively By all counties that
follow the line of progress is a trac-
tor-engine that can be used In grac.
ing and hauling operations in lieu of
horses. One OF these machines cos.

Most old people must give to the bowels
some regular help, else they suffer from
constipation. The condition is perfectly
natural 1t is just as natural as it is for
old people to walk slowly. For age Is
never so active as youth. The muscles
are less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid
to weak bowels. The bowels must be
kept active. This is important at all ages
but never so much as at fifty.
Age Is not a time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But a lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels Of the old
need Is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic Is Cascarets
