Road Building

The permanent Improvement of highways in
the United States is receiving attention from
many legislatures. The Dayton News editorially
reviews, as follows, some of the pending Leg
islation:
Encouraging progress is being made in the
effort to get national system of good roads.
The legislature of Minnesota has adopted a reso-
luton to submit constitutional amendment to
the voters authorizing the state to issue bonds up
to $100000,0 900 for paved highway construction.
Missouri also is preparing to build good roads.
concurrent resolution in the legislature of that
state proposes to submit to the voters an amend
ment to the constitution authorizing the issuance
of state bonds not to exceed $60,00O,O0O for the
purpose of building system of memorial high
ways. In addition to increasing the property tax
levy to help retire this bond issue, it is proposed
to consider automobiles separate class of
property and to tax and license them with spe-
cial view to raising revenue for road purposes
Efforts are being made to have legislation
enacted in Wisconsin that will permit extension
of the state debt limit, which is now fixed at
maximum of 100000, so that money can be
raised to carry on highway improvements involv-
ing bond issue Of $50,OO0,O0O.
"In Illinois and Pennsylvania the voters have
already approved proposed bond issues that are
to provide for comprehensive and permanent
road improvements, and there is general ten
dency throughout the country to make highway
building one of the principal activities of the very
near future"

| Where ZV0S the
Margaret SIN 18th
Home Founded?

Just about six months more than
thirty years ago, on october l. 1883,
the original Margaret Smith home was
started, directly across the street from
st. Andrews church on South Fifth
street. The first matron was Miss
Ida M. Brunton, and the second Mrs.
Sarah Surface.
In 1890, the home having outgrown
it's original building, the present prop
erty at Seventeenth and Main was
bought and altered to accommodate
the aged women. In 1901, the home
was incorporated.
Numerous gifts have been made to
the home since Margaret Smiths first
gift, with which II was started. All
the members are happy and we'll cared
for.

We drove along road that had

we saw artillery emplacements, where
Boche cannon had stood against the
American advance. Beside these spots
there were numbers Of empty, used

On both sides of the road we saw

a woman is weighed down by
weakness, backache, dizzy feel

or pain here and there, she should
resort to Favorite Prescription, a
splendid temperance tonic first
prescribed by DR.. Pierce over
fifty years ago.
The ingredients are printed on
the label. It is made from wild
roots and barks. This Prescrip-
ton contains no alcohol or mar
cotics. Just the thing for the
young married woman weighed
down by her burdens. In girlhood,
maidenhood, womanhood, it is
the one tonic which is dependable,
and can be had in tablets as well
as liquid. ''Favorite Prescrip-
