G Jan. 31, 1917 For the life of us we cannot understand, if medical inspection for the children attending the public schools is a good thing, why it is not a good thing for all other children under 100 years of age. Why not extend this pro position to all, especially the fel lows whn mv the taxes. Ought not they be given something for their money? or, at least be given some consideration? Is this really a government "for the people, of the people and by the people," or is it an office-holder's IdYicrdnm conducted for the benefit of a few? If an all-time county doctor is a ernnd thin? then whv not an ' o o all-time county baker, butcher, farmer, shoe mater, clothier, carpenter, etc? You know the children of today will be the citi zens of tomorrow, (brilliant arc. ment) and if the children are not fed, shod, clothed and housed they may be dead tomorrow while forty doctors stand around and wonder what the trouble was. Of course, the citizens o today, those who happen to be paying the taxes, and those who do not attend the public school can go to the desert if they wan to, no one cares anything abou them any way. Why this half handed business? Why this robbing of Paul to present Peter with a gift? Hasn't Paul got sav so in it? If thi thins &'or much farther we will have so cialism holding high carnival over the remains of a once wise; beneficient, happy and competent democracy. For the county of Rowan to provide a free bridge across the Yadkin would mean an increased indebtedness and probably a bond issue which would have to be paid by all the citizens of the county while hardly more than ten per cent, of the masses would really be directly and indirectly benefited thereby. Thousands of people in Rowan are now pay ing road and other taxes from which they derive no benefit. Some of us have never owned a vehicle and get. nothing for our road taxes, many pay school taxes and have no children, we are .paying for railroad bonds and only a few derive a benefit, we all pay pensions and the other fellow gets that, we are paying for a new court house and few of us get anything in return. Such a list might be considerably lengthened and for every item mentioned the beneficiary of said item would be ready to put up a holy howl of displeasure, it ..Tvouldcut off his pap. Such items, class legislation and special privileges for the few have considerably increased in late years and the burdened tax payer is getting a little nervous. He is going to do something more than talk some day. A bill has been introduced in the legislature to force the manu-, facturersof medicines to place . tho formula of their remedy oh each bottle or package. This sounds very innocent and to some extern t proper, but in fact it is a great injustice not onlyto people; their pocket books, which x is said this is an effort to protect; 'n thp manufacturers, the drugr gists and other interests. There "are hundreds of these remedies that are very useful and bene ficial, often effecting a cure where doctors and specialists have failed, and at much less cost. The people generally are opposed to the furthergcurtailing of their right to purchase what they vish. Most of these reme dies are sold on a guarantee and if tiiPVR no cure it costs them nothing, while the doctor charges just a much, and sometimes more, for killing as he does tor -r , i 1 a 1 iAii curio f. io is aosoiuiwiy m""- us and indefensible for a citizen to be forced to pay a doctor $1.00 or more for a prescription to purchase five cents worth of Dover's powders to cure a cold, vet this is law. and now if this ne legislation is to be made law this condition wiil be made worse. A formula, like a patent, is the product of man's efforts, and becomes nrnnort.V riorhfc and SllOUld DC ji j - c: nrotected as other property - . V . I t;.o tnU-W-o- of medicine wnetner bought ready made, and most of if i ready ur.ide these days, or compounded frem a doctor s prescription, is largely a matter of confidence. Plenty of people pay for a doctor's prescription, put in tkeir pocket and get well, while others take the medicine and die. If their confidence, however, is strong enough they may lake most anything: a docTJ tor's prescription, a patent medi cine, carry a potato in their poc ket or just decide they are not sick and live to a good old age. The Watchman has a lot of faith in nnd respect for, the medical fraternity, also many of the patent, medicines, for doctors often prescribe them, but it is opposed to frauds. The dough pill and aromatic colored water is no less deserving of attention than many of the secret package remedies. So if on'e set of doc toring must be made public, then let's have no favoritism, put t.hp.m ill in the same class. Let the physician name his ingredi ents, name the diseass and state whether or not when you so to the drug store if your prescrip tion is to be poured out of a gallon-jar of patent stuff or is to be compounded, if he knows This is one matter the legislature can well afford to let alone, especially since the national pure food and inspection laws cover the subject sufficiently This thing of keep ing people from dying doesn't seem to be very efficacious any way and the M. Ds. have but little on the package man. mmm It Always Helps , says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. in writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's tonic. She says further : "Before I began to use Carduy my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework. After" taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. I wish every suffering woman would give OBert Mayo, superintendent and director of the Sparks IcircuH, and Mrs i Mayo have ! returned from Missouri where hey hftvti. been spending a mouth or more with relatives. Thfe Woman's Tonic a trial I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good." Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure sijns of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui,vthe woman's tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years. i 164 fe8S Notice fo Creditors.

Quick r-Cold Reliefn Is usually found through the prompt administration of a mildly laxative, dispersive tonic ono that will scat ter tie inflammation, remove the waste, and help Nature to build up resistance.

Every household should keep it at hand for this purpose, and every catarrhal !ulFerer should reg ularly use this reliable remedy. The tablet foran viTlbe found very convenient.
