it is desirable to transfer drainage * Dixle highway, which will be done FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1919 OOD ROADS I —————— ] DRAINAGE IS BIG ESSENTIAL | Side Ditches Should Be Amply Large to Carry Off Water as Rapidly As It Enters, (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The only reason for crowning a road surface is to enable it to shed water, and unless effective means are provided for disposing of the water after it is drained -off the surface crowning will be of very little, if any, advantage. The silde ditches should be amply large and should have suf- ficlent fall to carry the water away as rapidly as it enters them, and they should have outlets at all con- venlent points. Cross drains or cul-; verts should be constructed wherever | Good Road—Middle Is Kept High and © Water Drains to Sides. water across the road, and they should usually be provided with end or wing walls for protecting the slopes of the embankment. When: the material composing the roadbed is likely to be springy, a system of longitudinal un- der-drainage may be found necessary to secure proper dralnage. In con- structing a road; of any type what- ever, it should be constantly borne in mind that adequate and continu- ally effective drainage ‘is absolutely necessary if the road is to be main- tained in good condition. WORKING ON DIXIE HIGHWAY n lNlinois Improvement Will Extend Over Distance of 54.5 Miles Costing $304,700. One of the features of the year's work will be the improvement of the by: the states acting in co-operation with the government. Thus in Iii- ‘aolg the' highway will be improved “from the county line north through Will, Kankakee and Iroquois coun- ties to the Vermilion county line running south. This work will ex- tend over a distance of 54.5 miles at a cost of $904,700 and the construc: tlon will be of concrete and bitumi- fous macadam. At the same time Georgia will be working on the road from Atlanta through to Macon, through Clayton, Henry, Spaulding, Pike and Monroe counties, a distance of seventy-two miles and a continuation of the Dixie line in that state. In Tennessee and Kentucky projects will be under way which will further serve to improve this famous old highway which cuts through the central section of the couniry from north to south. PATCHING IN RIGHT MANNER Work Done Properly While Road is Wet and Followed by Drag Is Superior Plan. Patching done in the proper manner | when the road is wet, followed by a road drag, will maintain an old gravel road surface as good as new until it is so badly worn that an entire new sur- face is required. The gravel should never be poorer than that forming the surface layer of the old road, and es- pecially should not contain an excess of clay. | | Civilize and Educate. Good roads are civilizers and edu- cators. They are the vanguards of other good thiugs. They bring in- creased land values. Above every- thing else, they bring good people.

Better wagon roads are a problens which farmers cannot take hold of any too quickly. It now costs the average farmer 23 cents per ton mile to haul freight over wagon roads, while the railroads receive on an average of only 7.29 cents per ton mile for performing the same service. EFFECT OF CLOVER ON SOIL Same Necessity for Applying Lime as for Wheat—Dress Land When Sowing Seed. Clover has a mechanical and nutri- tive effect upon the soil. The necessity of applying lime for the whgat holds also for the clover. Usually the land is dressed with the lime at the time the clover is sown. Twenty bushels of air-slaked lime or one ton of ground lmestone is enough for one acre A Child Critic.

While the causes of all coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of convulsive cough of a large man is the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy that will cure a large man's cough and yet not be too pow for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the all kinds.

It is because of this cloze connection that indigestion, belching, sour, gassy stomach and other etomach miseries—all of which are sure signs of acid stomach—are so often Tollowed by ‘severe attacks of blinding, splitting headaches. _ Nervousness, sfeepleaenesa, irritabil- ity,mentaldepression,melancholia and many other disorders which affect the brain can also nearly always be traced to the same source—acid-stomach. 80 often you hear people say ‘I am s0 nervoue I think I'll fly to pieces;”’ or ‘‘Itseems I never get a good night’s sleep any more, my nerves are all on edge.” Little do they dream that acid stomach is the direct cause of their troubles because very often there are no pains in the stomach at all. 8o you gee, you can’t always judge an acid- stomach condition by the way your etomach, itself, feels. 1f you are weak, nervous, unfit—if von are not up to yourold time form —if you lack your accustomed enthu- siasm, energy and pep—make this test and see if it isn't acid-stomach that is holding you back — robbing you of vour health, strength and vigor. Get a big box oi EATONIC—the wonder- fol modern medicine that so quickly puts an acid stomach to rights. 1t i3 in the form of pleasant tasting tablets that you eat like a bit of candy. EATONIC rids the stomach of excess acid. Brings instant relief from indi- gestion, heartburn, sour belching, food repeating, bloat and gas and makes the stomach cool, pure, sweet and comfortable. Dentists warn us against the bad effects of acid mouth, l}])ciut.iug out that the acid eats through the enamel of the teeth, cansing them to decay. You can easily imagine then the amount of damage excess acid will cause to the delicate organization of the stomach! Thousands of people are using EATONIC and the resuits obtained are 8o remarkable as to be almost unbe- lievable. Yet their letters of gratitu-e, many of which are received daily, prove absolutely that EATONIC does all and even more than we claim. The medical profession, too, recognizes the great value of this wonderful remedy. A learned Michigan doctor wrote re- cently: “‘I bave had such wonderfaf success with EATONIC that I want every one to know how quickly it will nentralize the acidity of the the stom- ach (acid-stomach) and the stomach will soon be sweet and normal again, and the sick man weil and happy once more.’’ 8o be sure to get a big box of EATCNIC from your druggist today. Ii it fails in any way to give you the kind of satisfaction you want, take it back—he will refund your money. He doesn’t want on%peuny of your money unless EATONIC belps you.
