many failures to get durability ant

age IS not fully appreciated in most
sections, but it is at the bottom OF
successful road construction, and
neither permanence O economy is
POSSIBLE if il is not amply provided for.
\ wet spot must be thoroughly
drained before a road is carried over
it. or it will always be wet. at least in
the wet season, nc matter what else is
done to it. Water under a roadbcd is
as fatal to the life of the road as water
in a mans lungs is fatal to his exist
ence.
The not uncommon practice of al.
lowing a 1oadbed to be lower than its
sides makes it little better than a mere
drain. for water settles on the surface,

is requisite for a dry, permanent
structure.
The stone roadway is not only to
serve as a roof for the natural base he
meath, but is to take the wear of traf-
1ic. and not to be covered with other
material as a protection" to it. In
places where earth is used for bind
ing purposes. and little regular at
tention is paid to the roads and
~sprinkling is not done in dry weather,
the road surface breaks up rapidly IN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-By exercising
the good offices of the United States
tactfully Secretary Day probably has
succeeded IN uverting a severe crisis in
the relations between Italy and Co.
lombia growing out of the Cerruti af-
fair. A c~ablegram was received
at the department from Rome
saying that out of regard
for the United States, the Italian gov
eminent had telegraphed Admiral Can
dinani at C~arthagena, Colombia, 10
give the Columbian government eight
months time in which to settle with
Cerruti's creditors under the terms Of

Colombia has not yet been heard from
in acceptance of this proposition, it is
not doubted here that it will be se-
cepted.

There is more than one way to evade the

AIDED BY R PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON. youngstown,
North Dakota. writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PTNKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrh9a badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until l could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in q
paper. l sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
lliC DOIllC 4C4C 81 4AICl DGJlCE liIuU L
send for two more. After using three
bottles l felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady 1 meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

THE ROAD SURFACE.
Unfortunately Its Function Is Not
Fully Understood by Many ANA
teur Road Builders.

The function of a pavement or roaG
surface is very ~imperfectly under
stood, even in sections where stone
roads have been in use for long peri.
DDS. 1t is commonly supposed that a
wet spot or bog will become dry if
filled in; that a good road may be
made anywhere, simply by making a
shallow trench of the desired width
and filling it with stone, and that the
surface of a stone road needs to be
protected" from wear by covering il
with loose screenings, sod. earth, or
my old stuff that is handy in hot
weather.

a common experience to nave Dr.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician
1t is a common experience to see a COM
plete cure" follow the use of a few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, il is a specific for all forms OF
blood disease. If a disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease-they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like a pent-up
FIRE. and some day breaks out in o VOL
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. II
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the pike
down constitution-not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

suffering. If there is 4 large moun
of milk thus retained it is likely to
cause garget and permanently spoil
the COW.
Generally if the cow kicks most
milkmen will either kick back, or will
take a safer means by getting far
enough away so that the cow cannot
kick them, and belabor her over the
back and sides. Such measures arb
cruel and wholly unnecessary. If .
ring is put in the cows nose and her
head is fastened up so that she cannot
get it down, she cannot kick. Each
vicious kick is accompanied with a low
ering of the head, as if to hook. When
the cow goes to lower her head she
finds that the ring in her nose hurts
her, and that at once will make her de-

When a father writes that yours is the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo, writes in these strong terms:
D Ayers S~arsaparilia is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had a
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind, and was obliged

of them directed me to give her Ayers
