With numerous    complaints    re¬ gistered agahut the condition of the Nazareth-Tatamy  road,  the  ITEM received a communication regarding the condition of this road at present. This communication, like other pro¬ tests made  against   black-top con¬ struction, protests against the con¬ tinual  maintenance   cost   of  resur¬ facing compared with a permanent concrete  highway.    The  letter  fol¬ lows : "To the Editor of the Nazareth Item;- Dear Sir:
A short while ago State high¬ way men finlslicd putting a iiew surface of oiled stone on about a mile of the road from Naza¬ reth to Tatamy. That surface is nice and smooth, while the rest of the road is rough and bumpy. This mile of new sur¬ face marks about the third time tlie State has had to spend money to keep the road in fit condition for the large number of cars   that travel    the    road
every day. Why wouldn't It be more economical in the long run for the State to lay a modern concrete road on this route and have done with spending thou¬ sands of dollars every year to re-surface, patch and other- wLse repair the present surface.
On the basis of the Importance of the road to the section It serves and the heavy trafBc that uses it daily, It Is surely only a matter of genuine econ¬ omy to expend sufficient money to put down a surface that will stay for years without .spending a considerable sum of money each year for maintenance.
As the Nazareth to Tatamy highway is located in the Cement Indu-stry territory, it is a reasonable suggestion that this heavily traveled highway be per¬ manently improved with con¬ crete.
Yours very truly. I Signed!  MESSINGER MANU¬ FACTURING   COMPANY"

And Still They Come- "Bellyakin"
Prom a letter received by THE FFEM this week, evidently some local peraon has a severe "belly Ache". In fact the letter received sUtes that he or she has; but. as usual, the party that wrote the letter didn't have the "gumpUon" to sign his or her name. However, we noticed a lot of scribbling on the back of the sheet and as far as we can asceruin this tetter was written by **>¦ • never mind, we won't mentk>n  his name.
Too bad. but THE ITEM never publishes any ccrt«spondence that does not contain the signature of the writer. Es;)ecl;Uly when the writer has "beUyache" or wants to grind an axe >n tomebody else's grindstone.
We are sorry that this masterpieoe was not signed so that the proper aide might be summoned to relieve the party distres¬ sed. We WlU endeavor therefore, to prescribe our own remedy which we guarantee will produce dMired lesulu If the dose Is properly taken; Ist. Never knock the ways and means of otiiers without giving yourself a few good Jabs. Jnd. If you are dU- gusted and have such a severe   beUysche"   change your diet
