Chuck holes and mud { people .anyway, in the winter and rough dusty roads * ■ every iji the summer, except the fine cement road that leads from his city, TJrbana, to his farm. The State Grange, the Farm Bureau and other organizations have made . an analysis of the gas tax and are standing solidly for it. More than this thirty-seven other states have Buch a tax and none have repealed it after giving it a trial Congressman Brand argues that the gas tax bill should be amended so that the state could take* over the static system for both maintenance and con­ struction. The Congressman's idea of taxing all the people of the state for all of the cost of public highways will never be realized. The proposal is as unfair as it is unreasonable. To use Greene county for an example. Hun- , dreds of farmers are now paying their share of improved roads. Would it be fair to them to be taxed, directly or indirectly, for road funds to build roads in. some other county? Would the Congressman tax; all the people in the town and cities for highway im provement when the rural populace does not pay one cent for macadam, brick, asphalt, or cement streets in the towns and cities ? Jf it is the plan of ;the Congressman to do all paving in cities, villages .and through the country by direct taxation, .then we give endorsement to it, otherwise not. In that event we would not need a gasoline tax. The feature of the gaso­ line tax, is that the users of the roads pays for maintenance. The fellow that does not use them pays nothing. Congressman Brand has. the best opportunity of playing for popular favor, and we fear that his.road prop­ aganda is nothing more, if. he will but use his best offices to oppose the bill now before congress that if passed will increase.all postage rates on publica­ tions. The publications in this country did their .“bit” during the war and on top , of it stood for war tax on postage rates which have never been reduced and now it is proposed to add another increase in rates, to get postal em­ ployees more salary. < The government furnishes stamped envelopes at a loss, They are printed at a greater loss, nil of which goes to create a great deficit in that depart- • ment. To this every newspaper in the country is flooded with speeches and political propoganda that is all sent out free, or franked, by the govern­ ment. We do not know how Congress­ man Brand stands on this measure. Gas tax revenues benefit those who pay it. ‘ Trucks and automobiles wear and damage the roads, but lack of proper maintenance destroys them. Get rid of fallacious thinking on the gas tax. First step is to realize we are living in the year 1925, the. era of highways and motor transportation. The gas tax is not a scheme to get more money from the people. It is a business proposition, insuring the le st public service, ..The gasoline tax is “Painless and Popular.” Many states have increased their gas tax. None have reduced it. Why ? Was it successful? ’ ' » ; Taxes paid where gas is used for industrial purposes, etc., will be re­ funded by the State. i A gas tax will benefit all motorists by improving highways, the driver paying in proportion to his travels, and when the road is poor the quan­ tity of gas consumed is greater for a given distance and wear and tear upon his car increased—so*tax or no tax—he pays. / ^ ton, ‘‘Jesus Saves.'' lie wrote a fare- suit.

UIU-A1N Cdltur at «1IKU.TH” T HE human body has lava the prey of many enemies for thousands of ^ years. These enemies differ greatly in j their method of attack, l XcHow fever, for three hundred * years the terror of the tropics and of j every seaport, is like the pirate*} of the Spanish main, swift and terrible; it strikes wlthout warning, kills in a few hours, ail'd disappears. But Yellow Jack no longer Inspires terror. Wo know now that his. only means of travel Is a weak mosquito. Today yel­ low fever, like his piratical prototypes, has been driven from the seas and from ' all civilized places and only lurks In a few swamps on the Mexican and African coasts, Asiatic cholera is the innn-eating tiger among diseases, It follows lanes of iruvel on Land and sea. It, too,- strikes suddenly, kills quickly and Is gone. But boiled water, hot food and cleun hands rob Uds tiger of all Ids teeth and claws, But what shall we coll pernicious anemia? We don’t know enough about It to give It a name. Stealthy, silent, patient and without warning, it slowly saps the hotly of Its life by attacking the blood, the source of life itself. It Is hard for the victim of per­ nicious anemia to tell when Ids trouble begins. lie gradually grows pale and weak and the skin becomes teuion yel­ low. He has Headache, dizziness, shortness of brea h, Jack of appetite, loss of weight. He realizes that lie gets very tired and cannot think as clearly us formerly. Yet he goes on working for a surprisingly long time until some sudden development, a hem­ orrhage into the eye, a fainting spell, U severe pain in the stomach, takes him to,the doctor. Then a blood examination shows that the red blood corpuscles have been destroyed In large, numbers. The blood Itself is so affected that it can­ not do its work. . ' Something has destroyed the- red blood cells.; Is It a germ, a poison de­ veloped by the body Itself, a failure of.some of thejbjood-mnklng organs to> work properly,’ ail error In diet? No one knows. ' ” ‘ ' What we do know is thnt It .Is un- ' common before middle life and in old age. Most eases occur in middle life. The well-to-do are more frequently af­ fected than the poor. It is found ull over the world. I t affects men and women equally and apparently i t oc­ curs in families and groups, I have, in the last few yejtfs known of six cases in the families.of the professors of an educational Institution, ; We know little more of thp treat­ ment than we do of the cause. Blood transfusion is sometimes used in the last stages. It is doubtful if any ac­ tual cure ever occurs. A sad story? , YeH. but this dark corner will be lighted up some day.

The treatment is based on the S rescrlptlon known as Dr. King’s [ew Discovery for Coughs, You take just one teaspoonful and hold It In your throat for 15 or 20 seconds! before swallowing, without following with water. The prescription has a double action. I t not only soothes and heals soreness and Irritation, but It quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are tho direct cause of tho coughing, Feonle have been astonished how quickly the coughing stopped with this new treatment, and the whole cough condition goes in a very short time. The prescription Is for coughs, chest colds, hoarseness, bronchitis, snastnodlc croup, etc. It Is excellent for children as well as grownups— no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose Is only one teaspoonfub At all good druggists.
