There is a demand for them from the people of all classes in every part of the state The question that the now to discuss and decide whether or not good roads are ed, but how we are to get them Penrose-McNichol-Tener-Bigelow ma- chine taking advantage of this uni- versal desire for good roads, offers as a solution of the problem a constitu- tional amendment authorizing the creation of a bonded debt for $50,000- 000. Considered from an economic standpoint, to make such a debt would be to d®opt a policy that is absolutely wrong. The State Highway Department since it was established ten years ago, has never shown that it is capable of building roads that will last, roads that can be fairly called permanent improvements, such as only would justify an issue of bonds to construct them. Nothing could excuse us for bonding ourselves and our posterity for a mere temporary expedient like the State roads that have been and are now being constructed. No indi- vidual partnership or corporation would think of pursuing such false business methods Why should the people of the State do it? The methods of the State Highway Department are so loose and unscien- tific, its knowledge of road building so imperfect and its methods so hap- hazard that it is impossible to ascer- tain from the department or from the Auditor what has been the average the roads thus far built or how h money is the ag- gregate has expended upon the roads, We office, have not want The people is solely General of mu been cost that came into Highway Commissioner | Bigelow had at his disposal more | than $122800000 or more than one- fourth of the money that would be re- alized from $50.000,000 bond iasue; | that none of ge roads are of a char- acter that t n be called perma- | nent impros though some of | them as h as $29.000 a mile We are told that for the contractors were paid an average | , | that lowed of engineering work done by Department the Highway Depart-| that would {Oo Carry INNReCessary that Know since he Stats has cost f OL con- | not includ tractor ling roads hd id be well issue known if the r more a year can revenues for impr Bron pr [ and with finances be the as mi pended The fees amounting will go a long way care of the maintenance roads If $50,000,000 loan it would require $3.000,000 a provide for the interest and fund on it.

If you take one pint of granulated sugar, add be pint of warm water and stir about minutes, you have as good syrup as money could buy, If you will: then put 214 ounces of Pinex (fifty cents’ worth) in a pint bottle, and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you will have as much cough eyrup as you could buy ready made £82.50. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. It keeps perfectly. You will find it one of the best cough S3tups you ever used-—even in whooping cough. You can feel it take hold— usually eo uers an ordinary cough in 24 hours. It is just laxative enough, has a good tonic effect, and the taste in pleasant. It is a splendid remedy, too, for whooping cough, spasmodic eroup, hoarseness and bronchial asthma, Pinex is a most vaulable concentra ted compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in healing pine elemen ration will work in this plan for making cough remedy MARRIAGES.

I don’t dampen the clothes too much before I iron them, and then it doesn’t take so long to get them dry, but 1 keep a clean cloth and this bowl of water, and any place that is too dry I just dampen as I iron, and find it is very much easier.” Anty Drudge—*“Well, 1 see there's nothing I can teach you.” There 1s a way to make house- work easy. Its the Fels-Naptha way. It means added hours of rest, cheerful, smiling women, more time for pleas- ure. It 1s the cool- water, no-hard-rub- bing way.
