Highway Through County and Anti-
Typhoid treatment Receive Favor
able Action by County Commis
sioners.
A large delegation appeared be
fore the County Commissioners
Monday to urge the completion,
rather tne mailing passable, oi me
- State Highway turougn this coun
ty. Lately Alamance has received
some not very favorable advertis
ing on account of the condition of
the Hig.iway. The Board has de
termined to act. An engineer or
• engineers will go over two or more
routes and their report will deter
mine whicn route will be improv
ed. The action of tae .uoard will
be generally commenued, for Ala
mance has furmsned a bad link
in the cuain for month 9, which has
caused motor car travellers to go
around the county in going iro.ii
one end of the State to cue other.
Another very nignly commenda
ble thing was done—putting on an .
anti-typhoid campaign. Dr. i'. -•!.
Jordan, ofr .Raleigh, who had charge
of the late nealtn campaign for the

tate Health Department, was pres
,ent and outlined the plan. The
Board appropriated !jHOO for the
campaign. in the few counties
where such campaigns were con
ducted last year the reports snow
that tne number of deaths were
less by forty-three than in the pre
vious year. The people of the
cOunty will be fully advised as to

Deaths from kidney disease have
increased 72 percent in 20 years.
People overdo nowadays in so ;
many ways that the constant fil
tering of poisoned bllood weakens
the kidneys. Beware of fatal '

or urinary Ills suggest weak kid
neys, use Doan's Kidney Pills, live
carefully, take things easily, and
avoid heavy eating. Doan s Kid
ney Pills command confidence for

lly used or so generally successful.
Home endorsement is th • best proof
of merit. Read this Graham resi

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system Is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health ia ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful |
I sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Kmul- !
sfon is exactly what you shftuld take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
Hch blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
i inz tonic force. It irfree from alcohol. :
