ACTUAL COST OF GOOD ROAD
Varlou Methods of Financing Road
.Building and Retiring Debts Dis-
cussed by Expert on Subject.
While it is frequently easy for a
county to issue bonds and borrow
money for improving the local high-
ways, the raising of the money to re-
tire those bonds at maturity is often
not so simple. Many counties, in bor-
rowing money for bonds, figure that
the amount of money raised repre-
sents the total cost of the road, for~
getting that the road must be main-
tained and repaired if, at the end of
the term of the bonds, the county is to
have anything to show' for its invest-
ment.
The question of financing county
road building is discussed fully in De-
partment of Agriculture Bulletin No.
136, entitled "Highway Bonds," which
is written by the office of public roads
in collaboration with James W. Glover,
professor of mathematics and insur-
ance, University of Michigan. In this
bulletin the authors discuss fully the
various methods of financing road
building and retiring debts for road
construction, and also deal frankly
with the actual total cost of a road
during the life of the bonds. On the
total cost of a road, the authors cite
the following two examples as afford-
ing at least a basis for estimating the
total minimum cost of a mile of road:
Bituminous macadam: Cost of con-
struetton ($10,500) under 5 per cent
serial bond with interest for 20 years,
$16,012.50. Cost of annual repair and
maintenance ($600) for 20 years, $12,-
000. Total cost for 20 years, $28,012~50.
Brick: Cost of construction ($18,500)
under 5 per cent serial bond with in.
terest for 20 years, $26.426.73. Cost of
annual repair and maintenance ($300)
for 20 years, $6,000. Total cost for 20
years, $32,426.73.
The authors point out that the ac-
tual cost of building and maintaining
h my a specific highway can be determined

CALOMEL SICKENS[ IT SALIVATES!
DON'T STAY BILIOUS, CONaTIPATED
I Guarantee "Dodson's Liver Tone" Will Give You the Best Liver
and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had--Don't Lose a Day's Workl
Calomel makes you sick; you lose a
day's work. Calomel is quicksilver
and it salivates; calomel injures your
liver.
If you are bilious, feel lazy, sluggish
and all knocked out, if your bowels
are constipated and your head aches
or stomach is sour, just take a spoon-
ful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone
instead of using sickening, salivating
Calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is real
liver medicine. You'll know it next
morning because you will wake up
feeling fine, your liver will be work-
ing, your headache and dizziness gone,
your stomach will be sweet and your
bowels regular. You will feel like
working. You'll be cheerful; full of
vigor and ambition.
Your drugl~ist or dealer sells you a
50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
under my personal guarantee that it
will clean your sluggish liver better
than nasty calomel; it won't make you
sick and you can eat anything you
want without being salivated. Your
druggist guarantees that each spoonful
will start your liver, clean your bowels
and straighten you up by morning or
you can have your money back. Chil-
dren gladly take Dodson's Liver Tone
because it is pleasant tastlng and
doesn't gripe or cramp or make them
sick.
I am selling millions of bottles of
Dodson's Liver Tone to people who
have found that this pleasant, vege-
table, liver medicine takes the place
of dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle
on my sound, reliable guarantee. Ask
your druggist or storekeeper about me.
Adaptability.
"Why don't you knit something for
the war sufferers?"
"I am knitting something," replied
young Mrs. Torkins. "What is it."
"Well. I thought they were going
to be mittens, but I forgot to put the
thumbs in, so I'll have to make them
a pair of socks."
KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM
EATING TOO MUCH MEAT
Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers---Meat
Forms Uric Acid.
We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid-
ney trouble.
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-
talned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
llke lumps of lead, and you have sting-
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid-
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end-
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts i inexpensive and cannot
injure; makers a delightful efferves-
cent lithla-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.--Adv.

the present time i the attitude of the
farmer and the business man towards

of concrete on the larm and in the
tendency towards fireproof buildings
in all of the small cities. Truly there
