Effects Of Constipation

Constipation causes stoppage of the
sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should be
carried away is retained in the system
and often poisons the blood and causes
numerous disorders. No one can afford
to neglect his bowels. A dose of Cham
berlain's Tablets will afford relief.
Avoid drastic cathartics as they take
too much water out of the system and
their use is likely to be followed by
constipation. y

CO'den High
W y n BIS Farm
ction Gf State

In all sections Of the state, good
roads meetings are being held for the
purpose of boosting highways across
the state connecting st. Louis and
Kansas City. The Golden Belt High
way, which connects St. Louis and
Kansas City and goes to Denver out
of Kansas City, is one of the princi-
pal roads discussed now.
This highway passes through the
finest farming sections of Missouri
and through more than fifty towns or
cities. 1t has been marked and en-
dorsed by the automobile clubs Of
st. Louis and Kansas City as the best
cross-state highway connecting the
two cities. At at meeting in Cen
tralia a short time ago, of the Mis-
souri, division of the Golden Belt
Highway attended by E. S. Wilson, J.
B. Default and several other Mexico
men, the leaders in the Golden Belt
Highway movement decided to get
out pamphlets describing the coun-
try through which the road will pass,
and to get an improvement of the road
that will be maintained. In addition
to that, the country through which
the highway passes will be well adj
vertised, and the value of the land
will be increased.
According to statistics, there were
more tourists travelled W. that road
last summer since the road was mark
ed than any other cross-state road
There are 28S miles of this road ir
Missouri, a part of which passes
through Audrain County. 1t means 6
bigger advertisement for the county
and for the state.

ELECTRIC Line

The right-of-way for a.. electric
line between st. Louis and Kansas
City has already been secured across
Lafayette County, and men are work
ing now in Saline County, where they
are meeting with success. The sug-
gested line is on the Wabash, and
within a short time, it is expected that
the right-of-way will also be secured
across Galloway County, according to
a statement in the Fulton Gazette.
The route will follow that surveyed
for the Chase Missouri Central, a pro-
iect that was agitated fifteen years
ago. The survey notes, profiles and
estimates are in the hands Of the men
who have revived the Chase scheme.
These men say that all they ask is a
ri~ght-of-way, and that no money will
have to be put up by the people in
thecounties through which the pro-
posed road will pass.

PRINTING PRICES.

THE prices of some commodities
have declined, others have remained
stationary while others, which declin
ed to q low point sometime ago have
rallied. The report that everything is
coming down to the old level at once
is not justified. There will be advan-
ces in the future just as there will be
declines for this is a period of read
justment in which fair prices will be
sought rather than of general reduc-
ton.
In the printing trade there are no
signs of reduction. The production
of newsprint is not up with the de-
mand. While there has been a slight
s~oftening of prices the present cost
of newsprint is fully 300 percent more
than pre-war prices and machinery
and other material required for the
manufacture of printing and news
papers havemade either an advance or
remained at the High war level to
say nothing of the several hundred
pecent advance in wages.
For years printing has been sold toe
cheaply in the country just as was adj
vertising space. About 20 years age
the metropolitan job offices and news.
papers established cost systems ant
discovered they had been losing money
and placed their business on a scien.

and are placing their establishment

aid of correct cost systems.

THE WANT AID

HAVE you even given full consid-
Grafton to the newspaper want ADJ"
Those few lines that appear in the
classified columns of a newspaper. The
for sale, wanted, for rent and ect.,
columns that carry no special display
but appear every day and plug stead
lily along like the chorus working be-
hind some sensational prima donna.
They work while you loaf, they are
busy while you sleep. The want ad
is the most untiring laborer in the
world today and the cheapest. Mems
fortunes have been based on a want
ad reply. Sales into the thousands

The return of lost heirlooms and
priceless jewels have been traced dir
ectly to this source. There is no task
too large or too small for it.
1t is n of the many evidences that

SPLENDID ORGANIZATIONS.

THE Parent Teachers organiza-

doing a splendid work for the chill
dren Of Mexico and incidentally have
become a great force in the upbuild-

Unfortunately the work devolves
upon the mothers. While they have
shown themselves perfectly capable
of handling these organizations eff
~ficiently and to the best interests of
the little folks, nevertheless the
fathers,as a matter Of civic pride and
parental duty, should participate in
the work.
