KENT'S STORE, VA, May 9.-This
county has held no meeting nor taken
any steps in regard to submitting or pro-
claiming the new Constitution, but as
far as can be ascertained by your core
spondent from the people in this vicinity,
and from the country at large, they are
in favor of its being submitted to the
present electorate for ratification.
It is also a self-evident fact that the
more the Constitution is studied by the
people, and it's merits made known, it is
increasing in favor. and will no doubt be
adopted if submitted.

Z wv relief to over million women
" during the years Of its exist
ence. It is a thoroughly scientific and
modern remedy, meeting the needs OF
the modern women in the modern way
without the torture of an operation.
Women are modest. Modesty is their
charm and because Wine of Cardui
appeals to women's modesty by curing
them in the privacy of their homes
1t has found a place in the hearts of
American women that no other nedi-
cine has found. In their gratitude over
10000 American women have written
letters commencing Wine of Cardui.
Wine of Cardui meets their wants as no
other medicine does. It sustains the
young girl at the shock of her entrance
to womanhood. Women who take
Wine of Cardui have little discomfort
during pregnancy and slittle pain at
childbirth. When the change of life
appears they enter a happy, healthy
old age. Every month it comes to the
rescue to assist Nature in throwing the
impurities from the body.

was doubtless suggested by the we'll

Of two parallel lines Of steel plates or

plate or rail is fitted with flange on
the inner side to prevent wheels from
easily leaving the tracks. Unique
roads OF this type have been construct
cd In half dozen different States,
and in some instances the records
made upon them have been little short
of marvellous. In one instance a load
OF eleven tons which required twenty
horses for its movement over an ordi.

steel track by single horse. This
load was twenty-five times the weight
Of the animal, but at Ames, Iowa, re-

noted that the cost Of the steel-tracli
roads has ranged from $500 to $500
mile, according to the original con-
dition Of the roadbed.
The extension Of the good roads
movement has resulted in a correspond.
ing development OF the engineering
operations involved and of the machin.

soclations. In this connection many Inn
portant experiments have been made
to test the power required in hauling
over various kinds Of roads. The Gov
ornment has learned, too, by consulta-
ton with many thousands OF the most
intelligent farmers Of the country that
the expense Of moving farm products
and supplies averages on all the Amer.
lean country roads twenty-five cents
per ton mile, whereas the charge in the
good roads districts OF this and other
countries is less than ono-third that
amount This extra expense amounts
in the aggregate to more than the en-

OF the hauling done ON the public roads
the loss is equal to one-fourth OF the

OF the United States.
