—N—‘E——W ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM Amount of Money Available for Fed- eral Aid Largest Ever Set Aside by Any Nation. (Prepared by the United States Depart- g meynt of Agriculture.) ‘With full state co-operation accord- tng to the terms of the federal aid | ¥oad act, the United States will have & total of at least $574,000,000 for co- operative road building during the next three years. The federal part of this fund is assured by an extra appropria- tion of $209,000,000 in the post office appropriation” bill just passed by con- Jgress and signed by the president. + ©Officlals of the bureau .of public roafls, United States department of ag- riculture, which administers the pro- “visions of the federal ald road act and co-operates with the state govern- wments in the expenditure of the money, peint out that this amount of funds is ithe largest ever appropriated for simi- by any government In the history of the world, and that it enables the fed- eral and state governments to carry ‘put a road-building program of a mag- ultude never equaled, In'connection with the great federal- aid program it is also noted that ex- nditures for highway work In the nited States this year are likely to amount -to half a billlon dollars or Jaore, public roads estimates the 1919 ex- forestry in Pennsylvaunia.” LANDOR HAD PROPl-iETIC EYE Brilliant Englishman Correctly Fore saw Dire Events of Which He Vain- ly Warned His Countrymen. : On reports recelved from state | .

There Is fhe man who Is always smil. ing, whose whole person radlates af- fection and good cheer. His is the frank, open countenance that makes and keeps friends, for he has the true spirit of good-rellowship, He is the mon whom you enjoy going to with good news, and of whose sym- pathy you can be sure when you ure in trouble, He is the friend, always, that everyone -admires, trusts and likes, just because he has the smile that spe'ls warmth. A laugh is a little thing, and appac- ently to Judge a man by his laugh seems like making a mountain out of n molehi!l, Bat “straws show whichk way the wind blows,” and psycholo- gists assert that the little things are the real indices to character. So watch out when your friends laugh, and see it they are worth while—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Important National Parks. Yellowstone national park:was s:on- stituted by congress many years ago.

POOR HIGHWAYS ARE COSTLY Economic Loss to the United States Placed at Annuai Figure of $504,000,000. The congressional report of 1014 placed the economic loss to the United States through poor roads at an an- nual figure of $504,000,000 for trans- poriation costs alone. The heavy in- crease in tonnage since that time probably makes the loss today close to £1,000,600,000 a year. seat. 1 make way for others at the ticket office.

The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis- sues clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the entire system. % When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stnging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief durini the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weath- er, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in & glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urin- ary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink, and no- body can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kid- neys clean and active.

Swift & Company does not know whether prices will go higher or lower. Itdependsuponcountry- wideand world conditions that Swift & Company cannot control and can- not foresee. : All the world needs meat, and only a small part of the world is rais- ing live stock. So live stock is dear now, and meat prices must keep pace. Competition will con- tinue to keep the “spread” low so that the price you pay for meat will be as close as possible to what must be paid for live stock. Our profit of only a’frac- tion of a cent a pound, is no greater when prices are high than when they are low. Swift & Company, U.S. A.
