Towle at a special meeting tomorrow to con sider the budget for the new year.
 President Towle let this be known today, with the explanation that he is convinced 1t will be more bene- ficial and satisfactory to the county and the public In general to invest available funds in dependable high ways, even if g greater mileage could be temporarily provided through the building of gravel roads.
 Clay gravel roads, after all, can be claimed as scarcely more than a makeshift," said Towle. Such roads necessitate continued attention, es- pecially after their existence for some time. which means, of course, that appeals must be made to the treasury to supply money for main tenance and upkeep.

Andrews ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick relief, comfort and healing power of his discovery, and he will send it on free trial to any reader of The Age-Herald who writes him .at his office, 5S93 Koch Bldg, Kan sas City, Mo.

Sent Free to Prove This

Anyone ruptured, man. woman or child, should write at once to W. .. Rice, 563C Main St.. Adams, N. r., for a free trial of his wonderful stim- ulating application. Just put 1t on tho rupture and the muscles begin to tighten; they begin to bind together so that the opening closes naturally and the need of a support or truss Or appliance is then done away with. Don't neglect to send for this free trial. Even if your rupture doesn't bother you, what is the use of wear ing supports all your life? Why suffer this nuisance? Why run the risk of gangrene and such dangers from a small and innocent little rup- ture, the kind that has thrown thou sands on the operating table? A host of men and women are daily running such risk just because their ruptures do not hurt nor prevent them from getting around. Write at once for this free trial, as it is certainly a wonderful thing and has aided in the cure of ruptures that were as big as mans two fists. Try and write at once, using tho cOuDon below.
