We are now getting up plans and hope to let the section from Ela to Smokemont, a distance of 15 miles, about March 15. It is necessary that this section be completed by September 1, 1931; therefore, there is no doubt that this road will be in very good shape for next winter.” (It is understood that the section from Ela Smokemont is to be don e with federal emergency funds ahd speedy expenditure is required —hence will be opened September 1.)

The con struction of this highway has in volved the expenditure of an enor mous amoilht of money in Ten nessee and North Carolina in the last five years. In March 1926, Au gusta took hold of the promotion of the grading and early paving of this highway. It was already on the highway maps of all th e states for * future construction, including Georgia—it was on the * Georgia Highway map from 1921 through 1922. Soon after Augusta started the agitation for the construction names by seed-com dealers and the mixing of varieties through cross-pollination by the wind.

Of the new food, called “dinutron,” six ounces, rubbed into the skin is enough for one day. And you can take a bath thirty minutes after the rubbing without losing its nourishing effects. This will discourage hunger strikes in prisons, make possible the feeding of insane patients who refuse to eat, and will he of great value in certain surgical operations, when food cannot be administered. It is believed that dinutron will also bo highly valuable in treatment of diabetic cases.
