ket of groceries from i
the store nor walk j
even four or five
squares without get
ting terrible pains in
my back and abdo
men and lowerlimbs.
I went to visit a friend in Mt Holly,
N. J., and she said, 'Mrs. Butler, why !
don't you take Lydia E. Pinkham's !
Vegetable Compound?' My husband
saia that if it did her so much good
for the same trouble, I should try it
So I have taken it and it is doing ma
good. Whenever I feel heavy or Dad,
it puts me right on my feet again. I
am able to do my work with pleasure j

Unfortunate That Proud Driver of

Remove That Pail.
They were talking about embarrass
ing moments ut the Friday Morning
club when one fair matron remarked :
"While living in a small western
town a few years ago, ray husband
purchased an autoinobLle. Upon in
specting our garage I discovered jy
leak In the roof and, to save the new
machine from a possible drenching, I
placed a five-gallon pail on top of it.
^"Several days later I motored to
town, all puffed up with pride, un
aware that the pall was still on top
of the car, and It surely was my most
embarrassing moment when I parked
near a dairy and n kind stranger
offered to take the milk pall down for
me."
Feeling Was Mutual.

Highway Surface Tester
Keeps Record of Bumps
A manufacturer of road machinery
has recently perfected an Ingenious
recording Instrument to measure In
equalities In highway pavement sur
face. This Instrument Is divided so
that It may be mounted at the side
of an automobile dashboard as shown
In the illustration, and is Intended to
record variance in surface by the
markings of p4ncils upon a rolled
chart fed through the tiny machine.
All Inequalities in the surfx e of the

Federal-Aid System of
Highways in 34 States
(Prepared by the United States Department
,'ot Agriculture.)
Roads that will comprise the fod
eral-ald system of highways have
been definitely designated In 34
states, according to the bureau of
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
A story of the system In the 84
states now approved shows some in
teresting facts. Nearly every city of
over 5,000 population is located upon
It, and the few that are not will con
nect with It over Improved roads.
Indications are that over 90 per cent
of the entire populatlon of the United
States will live within ten miles of
a federal-aid highway. In a number
o t states the figure is as high as 98
per cent,, and in none of the states will
It drop below 65 per cent.
The following tabulation shows the
mileage In the system by states, esti
mates being given for those states
whose systems are not yet approved:

Movie Patrons to See the Solar EcGpse
ni^
Science expects to make it possible lor one to see Hie 'total solar eclipse of. September 10 in the movies in three
minutes Instead of spending two hours and fifty-five minutes watching it, by the use of equipment which is being
shipped from the Yerkes observatory of the University of Chicago to Santa Catalina Island, Cal. Capt. Harnett Har
ris of Chicago, under the direction of Dr. Edwin B. Frost, will photograph the eclipse with four cameras in batteries
of twos, which will be placed fifteen miles apart so as to minimize cloud Interference. Two of the cameras will work
automatically during the eclipse, and when the Job Is completed It will be shown throughout the United States. The
signal corps and air service of the War department are co-operating with special lenses and apparatus. The automat
ic cameras are driven by electro-magnets, and the work of this expedition will be observed with a great deal of interest
by the public and scientific world. The photograph shows Captain Harris and some of the equipment to be used.

fruit. The object of the commission
was to try to Induce the Japanese to
improve their raw silk and the meth

about a new silk bureau has been or
ganized by the department of a^ricul
ture at Tokyo, while the silk rulers
themselves have decided to employ
every possible means to improve the
quality of Japanese silk. Another sug
