Bladder weakness, most folks call il,
because they can't control urination.
While It is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts

DON'T DO 1T.

There is considerable talk in
some sections of the country of
curtailing road building and road
repair work during the period of
the war. Some economists
argue that in these strenuous
war times with high prices and
heavy taxes it would be inn
practicable to make any per-
manent highway or street inn
provements. That point of
view in our opinion is erroneous
and should not be permitted to
prevail. Our vision should not be
limited to the actual duration of
this war. The progress that
has been made in industrial de-
velopment in the years that
have passed must not be per-
mitted to crumble and decay. If
it does, then we must start all
over again when peace reigns
over the world, and the splendid
advancement and material pro-
gress of this country prior to the
war will all be lost.
The highways of our land have
a greater part to play in the well
fare of this country than ever
before, and their Importance will
be manifest more and more from
year to year. The prosperity
and progressive tendencies of a
country or community is
measured to certain extent
now by the condition of it's high
ways. Experience has also
taught that good roads when
once constructed need almost
constant attention to maintain
their efficiency. 1t would be a
sad mistake to curtail the en-
tension of good roads or to
neglect the care and maintenance
of those already built. "Busi-
ness must go on as usual" and
even pushed to the limit to back
up the boys at the front and win
this war.
Demoralized industrial con-
ditions would not only be a seri-
Gus menace to a victorious con-
clusion of this bitter struggle,
but would be the crumbling of
the very corner stone of our re-
public itself. Let the good road
building go on with increased
enthusiasm, and let highways
and streets be kept up better
than ever before. There should
be no slackening of business
activity anywhere, and when the
war is over, it is hoped and
prayed that the stars and stripes
will still wave over republic
as "solid as rock"

TAPS" SOUND AT HOME.

"Taps" have sounded for Paw
Paws first martyred hero of the
present war. Lieutenant Carl
Mather met his death on the
Aviation field near Houston,
Texas. He had not yet been
permitted to participate in the
actual conflict, but was ready
and waiting for the order that
would take him "Over There"
Rrl was one of our exemplary
ly6Ing men. He grew to young
manhood in this community, and
graduated from the high school
here. He was strong and athle-
tic and a star pitcher on the high
school base ball team, always a
sss#eyaI favorite with his fellow
students and companions. When
the fates decreed that America
must enter this world conflict
for democracy, Carl was one of
the first to enlist his services,
choosing the Aviation section of
the army in which he had re-
ceived some preliminary train
ing in the Curtis school. He
knew the hazardous undertaking
of an aviator, and the dangers
he must face; but they did not
daunt him. He had the natural
instincts of a true soldier and
knew no fear.
Yes, TAPS" have sounded,
and the heart of the community
goes out in tenderest sympathy
to the bereaved father and
mother, the brothers and sister.
Their grief today is the same
grief that marks the tear stain
ed faces of countless millions of
suffering humanity throughout
this war stricken earth. 1t is
the same grief that will tear at
the heartstrings of millions more
on the morrow. 1t is war in the
stern reality, brought to our
very door and it seems as though
the whole world must weep.
May it be a source of comfort
to the bereaved parents to know
that their loved one gave his life
to the service of his country, as
millions of other brave boys
will do before the final victory
is won; and may the memory of
him in after years be glorifed
and hallowed by the thought
that their soldier boy met his
death in the discharge of duty,
bravely and fearlessly preparing
to defend the stars and stripes
against a foreign foe; and as the
home scenes of his childhood
continually pass one after an
other before them, may their
sorrow be softened and the tears
brushed away by the thought
that their pride and joy was a
patriot soldier, a hero and not
afraid to die.

curry is twenty degrees below
zero and has not been higher
than ten degrees above during
the entire day; and it is said
there are at least fifty families
in this village with not enough
coal to last throughout the night
There will doubtless be no real
suffering as long as there is
enough green wood to go around.
But we must acknowledge, how
ever optimistic we may be, that
the outlook is certainly alarm
ing.
We do not attempt to place
the blame. Many causes have
been assigned, and solutions
offered, but the solution of the
puzzle is as far from us as it
ever was. We do know how
ever that the public was advised
last summer not to buy their
seasons supply at the prevailing
prices at that time for it would
be cheaper. We also know that
the government fixed a lower
price, but of what benefit is a
cheaper price when there is no
coal to be bought. 1t is said
there is ample coal at the mines,
and sidings on the big railroads
are filled with it everywhere.
Plenty of coal, and people actu-
ally freezing in some sections.
Plenty of coal, and schools clos
ing, industries shutting down,
and business suspended a part of
each week. What a commentary
on the boasted efficiency of the
American republic. Whatever
the cause, it is a shame, a pity
and a crime.
The Toledo Coal JObbers, men,
bers of the National Coal job
bers association have the follow
ing to say about the situation.
We give it to our readers for
what it is worth. 1t is a "cold"
proposition to say the least, and
we give it up
About one year ago last Fall
competition in the Coal Business
shifted from the Seller to the
Buyer.
One reason why you could
buy and get coal then was be-
cause the Jobber met the sit
uation for you. With wide ex-
perience in distribution, a thor
ough knowledge of Your Needs,
and innumerable sources from
which to draw, he bought coal in
big blocks and competed for you
against the Big Steam Coal
Buyers.
One reason why you can't buy
and get coal now, is because the
Big Steam Coal Buyers COM
petitor, the Jobber, can't COM
pete.
The Jobber's supply of coal
disappeared about the same time
the President fixed his commiss-
ion.
The compensation provided for
the Jobber is being absorbed by
the Operators own Selling Agen-
cies, who very naturally prefer
to sell their coal in big blocks
to, Large Buyers.
The Fuel Administration has
drawn a clear, sharp line of dis
tinction between the Operator
and the Jobber, but this ruling
is not being observed by the
Operator. Remove the Operator
as Jobber of the coal he pro-
duces. Once this is done your
supply will again flow through
the usual sources.
If you don't want the Big
Interests to dominate your bust
ness and Coal in general, wire
your Congressman today.
Tell your customers to do this
also. This is their fight and
your fight as well as ours. :
Insist on your newspapers
printing the facts so that the
people in your community will
know where to place the blame.
Have your city officials take
some action, wire or write your
to insist on a strict
adherence to the Fuel Admins
tration rulings, which, if abided
