Minnesota and Good Roads.. The Des Moines Register regards Iowa's lax policy, or lack of policy, in tl)e building of good roads with the utmost impatience, and at the same time holds up Minnesota as a shining example of what can and ought to be done by the Hawkeye state itself. While acknowledging ..with becoming modesty the complimentary references to this commonwealth, we cannot but commiserate Iowa for the unfortunate position she finds herself in as far as road building is concerned. The great handicap the sister state to the south of us labors under is that the roads question there has been shanghaied into politics. No deeper misfortune could attend it, for as long as the problem of good roads is the sport of the politicians no highways will be surfaced with gravel. The Reg ister is doing its best to arouse the press and through it the people of the state to the importance of hard, per manent, all-weather roads, and for the sake of Iowa herself as well as those numerous Minnesotans who motor southward every year we wish the Des Moines paper every success. The Register is not the only daily and Iowa is not the only state that holds up Minnesota as a model in the matter of road building. It is fortu nately true that this state has made a beginning, and a fine beginning, in solving this great modern economic problem. But neither Minnesota nor any other commonwealth of the Mis sissippi valley has really caught a vision of its real duty with respect to highway construction. We have here no such vision as the countries of the old world, or of California, for exam ple. This latter state is going about the building of roads with something of the same energy and the same spirit as the pioneers of transcontinental railway construction displayed a gen eration ago. The state of California and the towns of California are bond ing themselves for millions upon mil lions in order that every street and every main highway and every side road may be easily passable in all kinds of weather. And it will pay our Pacific coast brethem to expend money freely in this way. It may be said that California is making this stupendous effort because she is the great winter playgrounds of the West. But California is no more inviting as a winter resort than Minnesota would be as a summer re sort if we people here would take hold of this problem boldly and build good, hard roads all over the- state, rami fying to every one of our incompara ble lakes. Nor can the benefits to the agriculture and industry of the state be measured if such a course were pursued. The time for Minnesota to pat her self on the back is not yet. That time will only come when the people of this state become aroused from their lethargy and go at the problem of road building with the largeness of outlook and generosity of expenditure which the gigantic nature of the task calls for.St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

CARLIN TELLS OEJIS RELIEF Minneapolis Man Describes the Work of Tanlac in His Case. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 23.What Andrew Carlin, a retired railroad man and long resident of this city, who lives at 310 Second street north, has to say about Tanlac vill prove of sur prising interest to many people, for he has tried the new medicine and knows exactly what it can do for a person. "I suffered with stomach trouble for a long time," Mr. Carlin said on July 24. "Gas would form in my stomach and cause considerable annoyance. In fact, my system generally was in a run down condition. "I read in the newspapers of how Tanlac was helping many other people and so I decided to give the new medi cine a trial. One bottle of Tanlac semes to have given my system a thorough cleansing. The stomach trou ble is much better as the gas forma tions that formerly bothered me have diseappeared." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal com plaints, rheumatism, nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and the like and is a fine blood purifier and system cleanser.
