Such measure would be ,ust.to every
section OF the State, since its benefits would
be distributed equally and fairly TO all. The
money appro priated would be wisely spent
upder the direction OF competent engineers.
Every section OF the state would soon have
a model road as an object lesson to encour-
ago further improvement The amount APP a..
stlmulant. give an Immediate impetus to
road improver1l emit, and the sums contributed
by the counties and local communities would
far exceed the aid given by the State. This
has been the experience of the present CON
vic, road law and the appropriation for high
schools. both conditioned on local aid. I
hope this General Assembly will make Itself
marked by inaugura.ing q broad system of
permanent and substantial state aid to pub
lie roads and highways. and thus add im-
n,eas,rably to Virglnia's material wealth
and progress. In Q few years the taxes re-,
ceived from increased values. will far exceed
the expenditures thus made. All reaso nablA
and practical measures tending to the ne-
compllshment of this purpose shall have my
most cordial approval.

If a cough once gets into your
system it acts on every muscle
and fibre Of the body and makes
YOU ache all over. It especially
affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, SO in order to
get rid of cold thoroughly and
without delay you should not
take anything that will tend to
constipate. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup acts upon the bow

out of the system. 1t contains
