DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEMi OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1009, PAGER fiHV&ff 600D ROAD SUGGESTIONS Ohio Man Tells How They Build Roads In the. Middle West. Communications from various parts of the country on the subject, "Tho Best Methods by Which the Country Can Build Good Roads," arto dally pouring into tlie office of County Judge Bushey. Among them comes a suggestion from a former Ohio man, but now a resi dent of this county, that contains many good points, and will In all probability receive favorable con sideration by the county court as -well as Iho property owners and renters throughout the country. In order that all may fully understand -tho full purport of the Ohio man's Ideas we give them below: "It appears as though the clti-zens-of Marlon county and the coun ty court are In a quandary over the most beneficial and economical sys tem of road building throughout the county districts, and that they de sire to reach some conclusion by which they can obtain results. quick ly and yet build roads that will not wear out. "Many Ohio townships, and in fact, states in the Middlo West, have adopted a plan which is proving successful. First, the county courts sends out the Information that a general road meeting is to be held on a certain date and that commit tees prepare to canvass their respec tive districts, hold a local meeting and make up their amount of mon ey which they can afford and wish to expend for road construction in their district. After a reasonable length of time, every district, or township, attends the general road meeting and the bids are then open ed. Tho township contributing tho largest amount of money for road building, has the privilege of an ap proprlation from the county road fund, which is not excessive or un reasonable, and the work starts in the district producing tho financial majority, and miles upon miles of pike road is being constructed every year. "For a time it was thought that this system would be a failure due to some of the districts being in habited with richer folks than oth ers, but, after a few road meetings had been held, this predicted failure disappeared entirely and all the dis tricts realized very little trouble in competing with each other. In some Instances whore ' a district was blessed with a goodly majority of moneyed farmers, bidding would be Indulged in and before the limit was reached, funds enough would T)e contributed to enable the county court to establish several miles of .first class road. "I am not acquainted with the fi nancial condition of your county, Tiut in any event, the policy of al lowing every community to bid for the road and the help of the coun ty court to assist, is tho proper course to follow it seems to me In Marlon county." s): X-RAYS AND SMILES !

In hundreds of Salem's homes at that hour the peo ple will bid farewell, and greet the new; and in that farewell there will be a tinge of sadniess, there always is in all farowells, and then besides tho departing year has been good to the people of Salem; has brought them mono prosperity than reverses;" moro sunshine than shadow; moro joy than tears. In many of tho re ligious institutions of the city the people will congregate for the same purpose, and in accordance with a custom that has been handed down to the present from tho past ages, tho event will be celebrated with song and music and religious cere monies' in harmony with the occa sion, and wlifen tho peals of the bells of those churches ring out upon the midnight air they will sound tho death knell of another year; and in the hearts of these there will also be a tlngo of sadness because for them also it has been a good year a year full of joy and great achieve ments for good. Murks Epoch of Salem. The year upon which the curtain of time will fall tonight marks a great (epoch in the municipal his tory of the city of Salem. For tho city it has been a year of marvelous progress and municipal achieve ments as it has witnessed tho solu tion of many great problems which confronted it and, also, seen thorn carried on to successful completion. It has witnessed tho raising of tho city's government to a higher standard, for in govermenUil affairs, as well as in all else, there is pro gfless and advancement, and the year leaves Salem a cleaner, bettor and stronger .city; cleaner physical ly, better morally and stronger fi nancially. A Veai of Prosperity. The year will go down in tho history of business, industrial and commercial circles in the city as one of the most prosperous It has ever had. It has been full to the brim with prosperity for the merchants, tho rtal estate dealers, the bankers. and other business institutions of the city; it has been a year of im-1 mense prollts for the city's many industrial a n d manufacturing plants and on every hand tht) great heart of industry and commerce has "bent with a strong and prosperous throb. Real property during tho year has commanded a higher price In tho markets than ever before, nnd moro conveyances have bleen mado; morn modern business blocks havo been constructed and erected; moro resl- dental property has been transferred than in any previous year, morn handsomo and beautiful residences been built, and moro of tho people who occupy those residences own their own homes and are moro hap py, contented and satisfied than ever before and business mon are universal in their pronouncement that it has boon tho banner year In business.

THE INDIGESTION OF GROWING CHILDREN Weak, Sickly and Emancipatou Boys anO Girls Usually Victims of Chronic Dyspepsia. During tho developmental, or growing period of life, tho stomach is undor greater strain than In any other epoch, for tho reason that bodily growth is rapid in children, and the system requires a consider- .able amount of material to construct now tissue a much greater amount than after full growth has been at tained. In tho adult, all that Is required is a sufficient quantity of food to rebuild tho worn-out old tissues, but in children, an extra amount of well-digested nutritious food is nec essary to build up strong muscle, bone, cartilage, teeth, norve, blood and bvaln. Well-fed children with strong di gestions, invariably grow to bo largo, powerful, healthy men and women, with sound minds and sound bodies; while children who are sickly, norvous, peevish, Irrita ble, and continually "tlned-out," aro nearly always victims of indigestion, nnd never atttain their full growth, or an average amount of strength, unless tho stomnch wenkness Is cured before reaching adult life. During tho adolescent, or forma tive period of life, paronts should make every effort to build up tholr children, so that good health, a strong constitution, and an abun dance of vim, vigor, vitality and energy may be an Inheritance in la ter years. Too often tho mistake is mado of attempting to build up tho bodies of weak, sickly children by dosing them with nervo and blood tonics, or tho omulslon of cod liver oil, which tend to upset tho stomach and thus make matters worse. STUAKT'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS will build up and strengthen weak, sickly, undor-devoloped and slow' growing children, by digesting thoir food thoroughly and assisting in its absorption and assimilation. Thoy digest food of every kind vory com pletely, including tho vitalizing al bumen of eggs, tho fibrin of monts, the cnsoln of milk nnd cheeso, and the carbo-hydrates of bread, rice, po tatoes, etc., so that tho system Is supplied with all tho material which is essential to construct largo bono, heavy muscle, strong nerves, a woll- doveloped brain, rich, red blood, and plenty of sound, healthy Mesh, pro ducing broad shouldors nnd a goodly height nnd general development. If you deslno to havo your chil dren grow up big, strong, healthy and powerful in mind nnd body, see that thoir digestion is kopt strong and efficient, and If found weak, glvo them Stuart's Dyspepcia Tablots af ter each moal, In order that thoy may got tho full benefit of tho food thoy eat, and you will bo rewarded by soolng them attain a far hotter than average development, and bo sides you may bo saved many a doctor's bill.

Tho water of Oregon City and Willamotto Is pure, according to tho roport of Dr. Ralph Matson, bactoriologist to tho stato board of health. Tho information was received hero this morning by Dr. J .W. Norrls, couiy ty health officer. Thoro are 25 cases of typhoid fovor in Willamotto, but this Is probably duo to tho fact that tho river overflowed Its banks during tho high water last month and contaminated tho spring from which 'tho drinking water for tho town is obtained, it is said. Since tho water has receded, tho spring apparently has purified itsolf. Dr. Matson examined tho water from tho north and south springs and tho hydrants at Willamotto and tho water from tho filter at Oregon City and filtered water from .faucets and ho found no traco of typhoid bacilli.
