this slogan has spread north and south,

me some Cardui as a tonic, and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardui, I did not. Soon, I

think the remedy is wonderful. I
recommend it to my friends, for I have
received great benefit from It.”
Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening |
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh tho worn-out nor- j
vous system and relieves the effects of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years’ successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely vege

In every community, there live soma

You’re Paying the Tax.
It is- a foolish farmer wh<
thinks because his county has
not voted bonds, and because th<
sheriff is not collecting anythin]
from him for the purpose, tha
therefore he is paying no roa<
tax. Every farmer is pay in;
road tax—for the bad road itsel
is a tax. It charges you enoug
extra (in increased cost of tray
el and transportation) to pay fo
good roads.
Everybody, therefore, we re
peat is paying for good roads
There are only two kinds of folks
—those who pay for good roads
and get them, and those who pn\
for good roads and don’t gel
them.
If your county has voted
bonds for a special tax, then it b
a case of paying for good roads
and getting them. If on the oth
er hand, your community .is do
ing nothing, then you are pay
ing for good roads, paying
enough in the increased cost oi
hauling and traveling to hate
them—and are not getting them
The road tax you pay the 'dier
itf is productive,; it brings you
value received in return. Pul
the mud tax the bad road cha.‘g
es is a cheat and a fraud; you
pay all the expense and g ;t no
thing back. In fact the road us
ually gets worse instead of bet
ter.
This then is the big message
wo would leave with every Pro
gressive Farmer reader this
week: You are paying for good
roads—but are you getting
them?
If you are not—well, the thing
to do is to begin paying tax to
the sheriff instead of the bad

road. And very soon you will be
gin rejoicing over some fine gra
vel or sand-clay highways in
stead of bewailing you fate in
having to flounder through the
mud.
There are just a few other
suggestions that ought to be
made. *,
In the first place, don’t get the
foolish idea that building the
road is all. Keeping it up after
it is built is just as important.
You would not think of buying
a thorough-bred horse and then
turning him into a broomsedge
field to shift for himself. If you
have paid a good price for a
f horse, you are all the more will
, ing to take care of him after you
r have him. It ought to be th( '
same way with a road. The cost
. of keeping up a sand-clay or
gravel road, however, is very
small. What you would have to
pay as interest money for maca
v dam roads will keep up the sand
0 clay.
In the second place, don’t get
. the idea that the only way to
1 spend your road money is in old
f fashioned ways that have been
. in vogue from time immemorial.
