Read it carefully so that you may be able to vote understanding- ly when the time comes. A SECTION of the Illinois statutes says that it shall be the duty of the highway commissioners to erect sign boards at all of the principal road-crossings, giving the distance to the nearest important towns. There are very few road com­ missioners who appear to understand this fact.

HEREAFTER the publisher of this paper will send1 out a number of copies to those who are not now amgng its subscribers, so that they may keep themselves fully posted as to what is occurring in Mc­ Henry and Lake counties. All receiving • copy are asked to read its contents carefully. Those not subscribers receiv­ ing the paper need not hesitate to take it from the post office as no charge will be made for it until they become subscrib­ ers. THB following from an exchange is to the point: The reader should never grumble because he fails to get every scrap of news so long as he takes no pains to give the editor any information. The average reporter is not a medium or mind reader, but gets bis news much the same as the milkman is said to* get bis tni'k, by pumping. If every one wonld give the newspaper reporter such little scraps of news, personal or otherwise, as come under yoyr observation, the local newspaper would become a mucn better sheet with much less hard work. Bear this in mind. THE following named vegetables are said to operate as follows: Spinach has a direct effect upon the kidneys. Thecom- mon dandelion, used as greens is excel'- ent for the same purpose. Asparagus purges the blood. Celery acts admirably upon the nervous system and is a cure for rheumatism and neuralgia. Toma­ toes act upon the liver. Beets and turnips are excellent appetizers. Lettuce and cu cumbers are, cooling in their effects upon the system. Onions, garlic, leeks, olives and shfltas posesses medical virtues of a markeflSmracter, stimulating the circu­ latory system and increasing the saliva Card of Thanks.

J-- \ The Awful Gonntry load. While most other improvements even to opera singers and race horses have advanced in America with great boun<^, our public highways have remained the same as they were when farmers kept six hor-es to do the hauling that'two can do on a decent track, and villages ten miles apart wi« shut off aOm one another three months in Ifce yfear as completely as if they were on opposite sides of the continent, because the roads were impas­ sible. It is a disgrace to an eulightened country. TJie road laws are antiquatsd in many parts t>f the country aB the old laws against witch burning. With all the money at command in this country agriculturists and business men ought atJ once to take measures to improve our highways. There is no spot where a fine road cannot be built, and such a road •will improve the value of property as nothing else can. Americans ought to emerge from the mud and go to road- building, letting no dungerhead old hunker notion stand in the way.--£5r. Frank Letlial Popular Xonthly tor April.
