In the report of the meeting of the
highway commissioners published in
another place in this issue we note
that the citizens living along GER
tain roads are cooperating with the
commission in the improvement Of
these roads. This, it seems to us, is
very eommendable and will result in
better road conditions during the
coming winter. 1t is fact known to
to those who have taken the trouble
to investigate that our road funds are
not sufficient to make roads adequate
for the present traffic, and especially
at a time when there has been SO
much rain as we have had in the
past two years. st Is therefore
necessary that the citizens along our
main roads cooperate in their i'm
provement or that road taxes be
raised. We commend the public
spirited citizens who are now helping
out in this important matter and
hope that others in all parts of the
county will profit by their example.

 I just hurt all over.
 I couldn't sit, stand or lay with any comfort, my back. sides and head all gave me a great deal of trouble.
 I was especially bothered with a light swimming in my head. My people were very uneasy about me and sent me to my relatives to see if change would do me any good.
 I stopped at sister-in-iaw's and she being a great believer in, Cardui, asked me why I didn't use it. I decided to try it.
 I had only taken a few doses when felt it would do me good. This gave hopes and used it right along and it did me just world of good. since which time have never ceased to praise Cardui."
