Black, in keeping with his

work, announces that Somer-|

from the State $72,670.98 for
State-aid roads and $246,378 |
for State Highways, if the ap-
propriction bill now pending in
the House of Represeir
becomes a law, without ¢ mend-
ment. j
The measure, as now in
committe, carries $3,000,000
for State-aid roads and $12,-
000,000 for State Highways.
For every million dollars cut
from the State-aid item, Som-
erset Cunty- would lose $24,
993.66 and for every million
cut from the State Highway
item the county would lose
$20,531.50.
A reduction of $1,500,000
from the State-aid appropria-
tion and a reduction of $6,000-
000 from the State Highway
amount, would give Somerset
County only $159,524.46, in-
stead of $319,048.98, as now
proposed.

senses: the duty of the hour
more accurately than does the
House. It is stated that it
wants to temper the war re-
venue bill “so that, instead of
increasing alarm among busi-
ness men, it will instill confi-
dence.” That spirit is respon-
sive to the best thought on war
financing. Business must not
be hampered, either by fears or
by actual confiscation. Busi-
ness must go on, production; quickly make in their own
must be increased, rewards of
effort must be garnered. If
not there’ will not be money
with which to finance the war.
A war-tax bill that is too dras.
tic will defeat itself. The task
of the Senate is to modify the
bill pased hy the House so that
it will be productive of a reas-
onable revenue without injor-
ing the scources thereof. The
consideration is not so much
for business itself as it is for
the country. It is patriotic in
a broad sense.
Even the Senate Finance
Committee does not propose
to go far enough in modifying
the unwise exactions of the
House bill. The direct taxes
to be levied under this measure
should be limited to a billion.

Make Your Own
. Liquor at Home.
Johnstown, Pa., May 19,
1917,—By a new method of
concentration, an expert dis-
tiller this city has produced
a concentrated extract with
which any one can easily and
| home any Liquor, Whiskey or
i Cordial at a saving of over 50
| per cent of the Liquor Dealers’
Prices. A few minutes does
the work, requiring no appar-
atus, no boiling, no experience
whatsoever. While the liquor-
making-at-home idea is new
and startling in its possibil-
ities, its legality has been care-
fully investigated by the high-
est authorities and his method
has been found to conform
with the laws in every respect.
This new method will be wel-
comed by thousands of people
living in districts where it is
now even impossible to obtain
whiskey for medical purposes.
Any one can now save the
heavy expenses, high licenses
and enormous profits of the
saloonkeeper and liquor deal-
ers, and can have in his home
the remainder of the war ex-
penses and the cost thus would
be spread over a period suffici-
ently long to minimize the load |
on the people at any one time. |
It must be apparent to the ad-|
ministration and its followers!
in the House that a great mis-
take was made in framing the
bill; they should welcome the
changes to be made by the Sen-|
ate as in the interest of the en- |
tire country.

In Pennsylvania we have no
thorough inspection of the
milk at any stage from the time
the cow is milked until the
fluid reaches the babies.
There is no law and no appro-
priation that gives any govern-
| ment officer power to guard
properly our little children
from dirty milk.
Some of our cities and other
municipalities are doing all
they can to take care of their
milk supplies, Others do not.
The State Department of
Health feels helpless and asks
for each mother or guardian of
a child to help force a cleaner
supply of milk.
Never buy milk from a seller
who wears dirty clothes or
whose hands and face are un-
clean.
See that his horse and wag-
on, truck, or any vehicle in
which he carries his product
are kept clean. If they are.
not, the milk is almost sure to
be dirty.
The milkman should not fill
his bottles en route. - They
should be filled only after be-
‘ing sterilized and before they
are exposed to dust and dirt.
Those who fill bottles as they
deliver -often take non-steril-
ized ones from one house and
deliver milk to the next cus-
tomer.
You should see whether or
not the empty milk bottles col-
lected are kept in his wagon
separate from the full bottles.
Before opening the bottles
the cap and top of the bottle
should be thoroughly washed,
otherwise the milk flows out
over the dirty lip of the bottle.
Look for dirt in the bottom
of the bottle after it is per-
mitted to stand.
Don’t Let Your Cough Hang
On.
A cough that racks and
weakens is dangerous, it un-
dermines your health and
thrives on neglect. Relieve it
at once with Dr. King’s New
Discovery. This soothing bal-
loosens the phlegm, its aanti-
septic properties kill the germ
up. Children and grown-ups
alike find Dr. Kings New Dis-
covery pleasant to take as
well ag effective. Have a bot-
tle handy in your medicine
chest for grippe, croup and all
bronchial affections. At
druggists, 50.
Worms drain the strength
