to be done to bring the highways to a state of

reports that improved roads constituted less than
one-third of the country's total mileage, and that the
remaining two-thirds, including a large mileage of

Furthermore, in practically every state lo-

every day—and the collection and disburse-

scrutinized. In at least one state, California,
revision of the state constitution is consid-

many of the state's most beautiful roads.
"Texas has the best stand of red berries in the

certain persons will strip berries from the trees

the purpose of the act was approved—-though

rest their argument partially on ths

determination of prices.
Ordinarily this is not true. In rea-

causal factor n determining prices is
production and not the monetary sup*
ply. As production increases, prices
tend to rise. This is because producers
advance payments tv their employees
and to those from whom they pur-

sell their own products. Thus a pur-
chasing power is created in advance

The very simple fact must be rec-

commodity dollar scheme stress the
quantity, not the q”al<ty. of the
money in circulation. If the monetary
lessons of history have any value at

TONICS AND SEDATIVES
LUMANFFY has apparently not found the world

sought, discovered and developed a variety of
substanees which collectively may be , called tonics
and sedatives. The tonics are stimulants; the seda-
tives are the depressants. Man uses them as he de-
sires, either for exhilaration or mild insensibility.
Tonics and sedatives have a legitimate place in
the normal practices of mankind. They are, so to
say, emotional and physiological crutches. The phy-
sician makes frequent use of them and by their ju-
dicious employment he affords much comfort to
those who are afflicted.
Alcohol, morphine and its derivatives, bromides
and of late many syntheticly produced drugs have
spared men much suffering. During critical.periods
of illness, stimulants such as strychnine and digi-
talis have helped many a victim to climb the last
steep space, beyond which Ues recovery. Indeed, not
a few physicians have prized morphine above all
other drugs, for they know that an anxious mind
and cruel pain impede cure and recuperation.

commonly used that few question their propriety.
