Despite the envious attacks of jealous enemies and rivals, Cardui still holds supreme position today [as in the past 70 years] for the relief and cure of female diseases. It stops pain, tones Ifp the organs, regulates the functions, and aids in the replacement of a misplaced organ.

If Poorly Kept They Are Costly, Says Curtis Hill—Urges the Building of Macadam Highways — Deems Con crete Culverts the Best. A Missouri correspondent who is deeply Interested In the question of better highways i:i states of the mid dle west calls attention in th** Farm Progress to the value of permanent road work. He elutes that he has seen nothing lately which has im pressed him so much as a statement recently made by Curtis Hill, state highway engineer for Missouri, whe lays especial stress on the need of per manent improvement. “In many prairie counties of Mis souri. Iowa and Kansas the farmer is V' A. DRAWBACK TO FARMERS. practically ‘mud bound’ three months during the winter,” says Mr. Hill. “Corn and grains—in fact, all kinds of produce—go to fancy prices during the muddy months, and the farmer who has the stuff to sell frequently does ftot get to market with it. Ohio and Indiana farmers who have rock roads sell at top prices, while the Missourian is kept from the market by bad roads. When the Missouri farmer sees that every dollar spent in macadam roads Is a dollar that will bear interest, the road problem in Missouri will be a long way on the way to solution. “Dirt roads are more plentiful than any other kind, and with proper care they will answer every purpose of a macadam road, provided the traffic is light. Scraping and dragging the dirt roads will temporarily solve the prob lem of road construction in many prai rie counties. Getting the dirt roads in shape will give us a hold on the state, and the dirt roads wills he followed with gravel and later with macadar “There are some parts of the state that take right hold of road improve ment. Others hang back, thinking that they had best stick to their old dirt roads because they have never had anything else and doubt the practica bility of any scheme of road improve ment without tremendous expense. “One ibiug that I want to see done is the building of stone and concrete culverts at points where small water courses cross the roads. The old time wooden culvert wears or rots out, is replaced from two to ten times in a decade and nests much more in the long run than a stone or concrete cul vert. “A masonry culvert will last forever, and when the road grades are changed it is possible to n..;;;e a twenty foot till rigid over a concrete culvert with out worrying about its ever wearing out. 'fhev. ocltn culvert rots or breaks under a (ill and has to be replaced by a bigger one costing more mouey, which in turn lias to l>e repaired at intervals. “I want to rce permanent work done on our roads. There have been enough makeshifts. Every dollar spent in per manent road improvement is a dollar that will bear interest for every suc ceeding generation." Experiment In Roadmaking. In Missouri the earth of about half a mile of road was taken out to a depth of twenty to twenty-four inches and a width of twenty feet and was heaped beside the wide and shallow trench thus made. A very heavy steam roller then rolled the bottom of this exposed soil foundation until it was deemed to be ns compact as it could be made by this means. A little at a time the earth which bad been taken from the roadway was spread evenly over the bottom of the trench and roll ed as thoroughly as the foundation had been. This loose earth was well sprin kled as the rolling went on. In this way all the soil that had been so re moved from the highway was return ed and packed down. Then soil was taken from the sides of the roadway, put upon the driveway and sprinkled and rolled as thoroughly as the rest had l>een. By the time the road had been built up to the required grade ample ditches had been made by so taking the soil from the roadsides. They who designed and executed this work believe that this road will shed water and be hard and smooth under traffic if care be used to keep its foun dation well drained and its surface properly dressed by frequent and time ly use of the road drag. The cost of making such road was comparatively small. Test of Dust Laying Materials. Experiments with dust laying mate rials are being made on the streets of Washington. These experiments are under the direction of the engineer commissioner, who hopes by the com ing spring to form some definite policy for this character of roadway improve ment. S.S.S. FOR BAD BLOOD Rational Pneumonia Treatment The most successful physicians are now treating pneumonia by the ap plication of counter-irritants. They are learning to resist the temptation to doctor the cough, which, after all, is only nature’s effort to relieve her self, and are endeavoring to reach the seat of the congestion without the use of internal remedies. Some are nsing preparations about as pleasant to the patient as an ap plication of mud or putty, hut the wisest use a pleasant liquid counter- irritant. The ideal remedy is Noah’s Lini ment. Its carefully compounded in gredients possess wonderful powers of penetration and immediately re duce the inflammation and congestion. Noah’s Liniment is absolutely harmless, and can be used freely without consultation with a physi cian. Apply the liniment freely over the point of pain or congestion. Satu rate a hot flannel and keep it ap plied to that portion of the body. The effect will be almost immediate, and In many cases the threatened pneu monia will be dispelled before a phy sician can be secured. Best for rheumatism, solatia, lame hack, stiff Joints and muscles, sore throat, colds, strains, sprains, cuts, braises, colic, cramps, etc. For in ternal and external aches and pains Noah’s Liniment has no equaL For sale and guaranteed by Cherokee Drag Co., 25c. Sample by malt Noah Remedy Co- Richmond and Bos ton. The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus- ! cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour- 1 ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very “ engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it .s to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruption*, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results.

This spring my blood was bad and I was run down in health, and having seen your medicine highly advertised I commenced its use.
