Swann Grocer Cor Church and Palmetto Streets tow DRAGS MAINTAIN ROADS Simple and Inexpensive Device Well Adapted for Producing Smooth and Uniform Surface. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment ot Agriculture..) The drag is a simple and Inexpen sive device for maintaining certain types of roads which when wet become ratted under traffic and which become firm on drying out. It is also well adapted for producing a smooth and uniform surface on newly constructed roads in which the material used for surfacing Is earth, earthy gravel or some similar material It is essential ly a maintenance Implement aad its use In construction is distinctly sec ondary. Roads which are very rocky or very sandy cannot be materiady Im proved by its use. Properly used at the right ttiae the road drag performs four distinct of fices. First, by moving at an angle to the traveled way it tends to produce or preserve a crowned cross section. Sec ond, if used when the material of the surface is not compact and hard, it tends to reduce nns and other irregu larities in the road by moving material from points which are relatively high to those which are relatively low. Third, when used after a rain It ac celerates the drying out of the road by spreading out puddles of water and thus increasing the surfaces exposed to evaporation. Fourth, if the surface material is in a slightly plastic state, dragging smears over and partin iv seals the so-called pores which n#t- urally occur in earthy material, and thus makes the road surface more or less impervious to water. The advan tage of this smearing action of the drag will be more readily understood if a sample of ordinary earth is ex amined under a magnifying glass. Such an examination will show that the earth closely resembles a sponge o» honeycomb in structure, and the de sirability of closing the open pores will be readily apparent If used improperly or at the wro.’g fme, the drag may do actual injury to t road. Dragging a very dry road, for •xample, serves to increase the quan tity of dust and may do additional .CHING EFFECTS ILDOD disorders , i! a Pimples, Rash, Itching etc., the First Signs—New Form of Iron Gears the Skin and Brings Positive Benefit Quickly Stretch of Improved Road Betw^i Cripple Creek and Canon City, Colo. I and the excellence of the French roads can no doubt be partly attributed to the selection of the best available ma terials for their construction. In 1893, a road material testing lab oratory was established by the Massa chusetts highway commission, with the late Logan W. Page In charge. This work has developed until today there are many such laboratories through- j out the United States, and road en gineers are more and more coming to realize the value of such tests and to specify that material used in road con struction shall measure up to certain establllshed standard requirements, j It is impossible to estimate the extent to which human ills and disease owe their origin to disordered and impure blood. Think of the various forms of Kidney ailments that have their origin in’ diseased blood con ditions. And no one questions that Rheumatism starts in blood. So it is imjwrtant to watch the blood and to begin treatment at the first signs of disorder. By taking such troubles in time and through persistent, attention, harmful results and much suffering can be avoided. Nearly everyone is familiar with the so-called bl'xxJ disorders as evi denced by pimples, rash, itching, etc. It is not important whether these symptoms indicate eczema, saltrheum scrofula, etc., but it is vitally impera tive that the blood be given treatment to make It healthy. There should not be an instant’s delay in doing this. And the disfiguring effects pro duced by these blood impurities are embarrassing to the sufferer. A remedy should be used which not only drives the impurities out of the blood but which will at the same time re move every trace of pimple, rash and ‘breaking out.” A positive and quick treatment for these blood disorders is supplied by Acid Iron Mineral -a new form of liquid iron. Its first function is to strengthen and purify the blood by putting iron into it. I hus impurities are driven out and ihe blood is en- riched--the whole sy.-'em is strength ened-the skin is made clear and free from blemish, perfect health through out the body is established. Druggists will refund the purchase price of Acid Iron Mineral if it fails to give you satisfaction—it contains no alcohol or injurious drugs. V-,V. For Sale By E. M. Matthews Co. Fiery Itching and Burning of Skin Is a Most Cruel Torture INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS r i ■!A2 “ /V * TU Si*:* ' ' Autos and Motor Trucks Do Moro Harm Than Steel-Tired Vehicles on Account of Speed. i There is more damage done to the roads now by auto* and motor trucks than steel-tfred vehicles ever did, for the reason of greater speed of motor j vehicles and their drivers have the same fool tracking habit the horse drivers always had. Driving In the same tracks never damaged steel tires, but it Is the destruction of the roads and rubber tires. The motor vehicle Is worse for the roads than horse rigs on account of greater speed. The rea son running in a track Is damaging to-, rubber tires. Is a sharp rock will be set in the side of the track with the sharpest corner out to nip a piece out of every tire, and sharp rocks cannot dodge or bounce out of the bottom of the track, but cut holfes In the tires and break the fabric, causing the so-called stone bruises and rim cuts, even on properly Inflated tires. Sure Speedy Relief in S. S. S. Why suffer from these persistent tortures when it is so easy and costs so little to do as thousands of others have done and get relief through S. S. S.? It is now well known that eczema comes from the blood. By giving the blood a thorough cleansing you not only get sure and spe dy relief but you also build up the system and re new your vigor and vitality.

The experience of others has established the unfailing merits, oi S. S. S., and there’s no question about the wisdom of your giving i* a thorough trial. All reputable druggists sell it.

I am not a philanth- ropist, but I have an abiding desire to see how truly deep is the feeling of the citizens of Florence. I do ask however, that you compare, carefullv, the retail prices, complied by the “i ; . P.

If. on the other band, the road is very wet and muddy, the irregularities in the surface are likely to be increased rather than dimlaished hy drasurlnsr. French Engineers Find That Simple, Surface Coatings of Tar Were of Much Benefit. It has been the experience of the French engineers in building roads dur ing war times that simple, surface coatings of a tar preparation more than doubled the life of the road. This being true, It woulu seem advisable in tbe coast ruction of nil country ro.\d*, to cover the surface with mtmv crushed rock or gravel, and then use the heavy tar preparation, because the binding effect prevents the material from slip ping to one side; it holds the material intact and gives the road a hard-sur faced covering that is not only lasting, but adds to the efficiency of the road.
