FRIENDS NOTICED IMPROVEMENT Wonderful Results from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Beloit, Wis.? "My female trouble waa brought on by overwork. I had worked 1 in stores and had to do heavier work than my strength could stand, and had to be on my feet most of the time. Finally I had to give up this work entirely and stay at home. Doc tor s medicine did not give me much relief, and my mother wanted me to take t ILydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took a couple of bottlesof it and thought it didnot help me as much as it should, so I gave it up to try something else. Nothing I took helped me much, so I finally decided to give the Vegetable Compound another trial and to take enougn of it to make sure it would help me. I have taken it over a year now and it has brought wonder ful results. I have gained from 93 to 110 pounds and am keeping house now. My friends all notice the change in my health.

NBB Good Progress on Roads Seen During 1923 Season (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture ) The 1923 road-construction season opens with the prospect that there will be about the same amount of road con struction aB last year, which was a very satisfactory one, according to the bureau of public roads. United States Department of Agriculture. "Returns from 21 scattered states show that in these states there will be available $288,000:000 for road work as compared with $273; 0000, 000 spent in the same states last year. On fed eral-aid work, which constitutes some thing like half of the total construc tion, there was under construction on March 31 work estimated to cost $2i?S, O'JO.OOO as compared with $233,000,000 12 months previous. Wages of labor are generally slight ly higher than a year ago, with the exception of the Pacific coast, where the same rate prevails. The greatest Increase is in New England, where the present level is approximately 30 per cent higher than the level of a year ago. The general outlook is considerably better than one year ago, when the railroad and coal strike loomed as dis turbing factors. Added to this is the fact that the designation of the sys tem of federal-aid highways is now completed In 33 states and practically complete in most of the others. With a definite prog.-atn for accomplishment laid out road work can proceed much more smoothly. From latest reports It appears that 30 states now tax gasoline as compared with four stales at the beginning of 1321. Most of the revenue derived .goes for road purposes, and bureau oUicialfi regard this as a step in the right direction. With road users paying a more equitable share of the coat, high way finance Is placed upon a . firmer foundation. Maintaining Good Roads Is Most Important Task It Is axiomatic with householders that "kfceping up the house is the truest economy." And so most of us wutcj) f>?r signs of decay about our premises and we putty and pnint and repair, tt'? guard against the heavy ex penses tlmt \uouhl be tlio certain pen alty of s?riou.s neglect. ?But w lien it corned to municipal housekeeping what is our practice? I'suaily lonjj periods of positively wanton nogljct. Tiiis is especially true of our roads, which are an im portant part of our municipal prem ises. We build our macadam streets. ! holster them up with a good founda tion, surface them with the best ma terial at head, roil them, view the tinisiied job .villi satisfaction and then likte little depressions, ruts und holes, with Ida ever-rendy supply of good material. Once filled the damaged spot Is wet down thoroughly and tamped, and the road becomes again an integral whole. Thf thriftj householders of France have thus carried into the housekeep ing of thfclr municipalities and prov inces the economics which they prac tice aJ)out their own hearthstone?. ? Dubuquj (la.)

Roads which are dragged after every rain can be distinguished readily from those which receive attention only now and then through the season. Still, the poorest job of dragging will improve any road In which /clfly is present in any lai-ge amount. In some localities where the roads are grav eled It Is customary to run a drag over them when wet. This, of course. Is not because of reasons similar to those which govern the use of this implement in the case of dirt roads, but because the gravel responds more readily to treatment when it is soft than it does when it is dry. A Smooth er and more uniform effect Is produced under such conditions. ? ? r concrete to lodge there and cause
