Health to the Use of

Mr. Wilcoxen, "so that after meals I
would break out In perspiration and
leel tight in the chest. I would go
to my shelf, take a good dose of
Black-Draught, and in lejs than an
hour all this disagreeable tightness
wou'd disappear.
"I used it with my children for
mollis and constipation. I find It Is a
splendid remedy for gas and sour
stomach and I would not be with
out It."
Mrs. Wilcoxen said: "In the spring
when I would feel sluggish, have a
yfd taste in my mouth and a light
feeling In my head when I would stoop
over when about my work, I knew It J
was torpid liver and that I must
take something. Black-Draught Is the
nest thing I know of. I use It In "big
doses at first, then small. It Is line
made me feel so much better. We
frel that we couldn't get along with
out it."

I MEASURING HUMAN PROGRESS
There Has Never Been High State of
Civilization Without Dependable
. T ransportation.
There are now 115,000 miles of
paved or suffaced highways in the ;
United States ? more than there at* or .
ever were in any other country in the ,
world. They have all been built, too, '
within comparatively few years. When
the system provided for in the federal
I highway act is completed, the Agrlcul
I tural department reports, the improved
: mileage will amount to ISO, 000 miles, j
I The process will keep right on, with
| accelerating speed, establishing new
trunk lines across the continent and
j Up and down, in a transportation sys
! tem of ever-growing Oneness and dur
ability.
Imagine all this network of good
roads swept away ? the condition in
which it would leave the country and
the deterioration that would follow.
Good roads are civilization. There
! has never been a high state of civili
zation without dependable transporta
tion routes connecting every locality
with every other, and still less will
there ever be hereafter, says tlie Brat
tleboro, Vt., Reformer. You can meas
ure modern human progress pretty ac
curately by its road building.

"Iowa State and other colleges and
Institutions have been making tests to

BETTER ROADS BENEFIT ALL
Farmers as Well as Wealthy Tourists
and Trtick Using Corporations
Are Helped.
Good roads are vital to all sections
of tlie country. Contrary to common
conception, the wealthy tourists and
truck using corporations form only n I
small fraction ol' those who nre urging j
better highway transportation.
Better roads will benefit two great
. clusses, 3,500,000 of fanners who are
dependent up?ui their automobiles, and
ns many more city dwelling families
with incomes of less than $4,000, who
with the farmers own two-thirds of
all the cars sold. 4
Purely as an Investment, better
roads will pay regular and substan
tial dividends which every enterpris
ing community cannot afford to lose.
Better highways mean better trans
portation and better communities.
HOSPITALS MADE ACCESSIBLE
Automobile and Improved Roads Have
Made It Possible for Farmer to
Enjoy Advantages.
The development of the automobile
and the construction of hard roads
have made it possible in many sections
to equip and ercct modern hospitals,
even In the smallest towns and cities,
and to make tlie.se hospitals accessible
to patients through the use of motol
ambulances for distances as far as 3#
and 40 miles. The old emergency
operation was performed on the rough
pine table; now, it may be done, in
many instances, under the most mod
ern of hospital advantages.
Greater Road Progress.
According to Thomas H. McDonald,
chief, of the bureau of public roads,
greater progress was made on the na
tion's highways during the last year
than In any similar period in the his
tory of the country.
Increase Valuo of Citizen.
Good roads are to be urged princi
pally for the same reason that good
schools are maintained; namely, be
cause the? increase the intelligence
and value of the citizen to society.

ham's Vegetable Compound
Olean, N. Y. ? " Every month my
Uood would go to my bead and I would
have such a Headache,
nosebleed, backache
and pains that I could
not do my work. At
night I could not get
my rest and nothing
seemed to do me any
good I read some of
yonr testimonials
about what Lydia E.
Pinkham' s Vegeta
ble Compound had
done for others, so I
decided to try it. I
bad only taken two bottles when I began
to be better, and my back did not hurt
me nor my head ache. I felt like a new
woman. The Vegetable Compound is a
splendid medicine and I will always rec
ommend it. "?Mrs. A. D. Earls, 630

Mrs. Kelsey adds her Testimony

relief from pains and weakness. I was
so weak that I could not walk at times.
Now I can do my housework and help
my husband out doors, too. I am willing
for you to publish this letter Cf you think
it will help others."? Mrs. HerbebT

Remarkable New Alloy.
A young French chemist named
Mazarin has invented a new alloy re
sembling gold and It lias been
termed "areum." It has the bright
ness, durability and inoxidizabHity of
gold, which qualities will permit its
substitution in jewelry and? other
manufactures where gold is now used.
No particulars as to composition seem
available.
