Endorses Scalfs ^ u
Jt tei.
DR. W. B. BOSE
W. B. Rose, highly respected phy
sician of LaFollette. Tenn., writes:
“Several years ago I endorsed Scalf’s
Indian River Medicine as of recog
nized merit in that it is a splendid
stomachic medicine and appetizer
offering relief from such symptoms
as smothering gas pressure pains af
ter eating which ofien cause loss of
rest or sleep; and from a weak, tired,
rundown feeling—loss of weight and
strength — due to undernourishment
when brought on by poor appetite. I
am a great believer in herbal medi
cines and I know that the herbs con
tained in Scalfs Indian River Medi
cine have merit.”
If you are suffering the agonizing
pains of gaseous stomach distress, or
it you feel weak, tired and rundown
because a poor appetite has robbed
you of proper nourishment, then try
Scalfs Indian River Medicine. Your

entirely -satisfactory. On sale at all
good drug stores.

tion to go by the wayside. These in
cluded new legislation and appropri
ations for the nation’s highways, the
status of the nation’s airlines and the
extension and increase of the mini
mum wage laws.
Only within the past few weeks,
President Truman submitted a re
port to the congress prepared by the
bureau of public roads which indi-
;cated that more than 11 billion dol
lars must be spent on major high-
! ways over the next 20 years to bring
them up to peak efficiency in hand
ling the nation’s traffic, to save lives
and to save time and expense in ve
hicle operation. .
The 1948 highway act authorized
the appropriation of 8,450 million
annually for fiscal years 1950 and
1951 to improve the most traveled
highways on a fifty-fifty matching
basis with the states. Under an in
dependent offices appropriation bill
for the 1950 fiscal year, there is in
cluded a 390 million sum for feder
al-aid highway system. The house
had already approved 375 million
of this sum.
With a carry-over of 40 million
from last year’s highway approp
riations, sufficient money is ex
pected to be available to cover fed
eral contributions, planned and un
der construction on the state
matching basis. But on the basis of
the roads bureau report, insuffi
cient money is being appropriated
to meet the needs, and in addition,
states are finding it difficult to
raise the ne’cessary funds to match
the federal grants.
As a matter of fact, states are
increasing gas taxes and automo
bile license fees in an effort to step
up their collections for road re
pairs.
According to this report, approxi
mately 94 per cent of the country’s
main highways must be repaired and
improved to meet today's volume of
traffic, but it is likely that legislation
will not be forth coming until next
year.
Highlights of tne highway report
include:
Needs in repair and improvement
of the main highways are greatest
for better sight distances, wider
pavements, shoulders and bridges.
Present system would be shortened
by approximately 841 miles, of
which 384 miles would be in rural
areas and 257 miles through cities
and towns. Costs would be allocat
ed, 5.29 billion within urban areas
and 5.98 billions in rural sections. An
ample provision should be made for
increased traffic volume in the next
20 years and a capital investment of
