Inffammatory Rheumatism Cured in
Three DAYS.

Morton l. Hill, of Lebanon. Ind,
says: my wife had infiammatory
rheumatism in every muscle and joint !;
her suffering was terrible and her body
and face were swollen almost beyond
recognition; had been in bed for six
weeks and had eight physicians, but
received no benefit until she tried Dr.
Detchon's Relief for rheumatism. 1t
gave immediate relief and she was
able to walk about In three days. I am
sure it saved her life" Sold by Otto

The state highway commission has
been actively at work nearly four
years. Much has been accomplished,
and already there can be seen a great
saving to the taxpayers in many sec
tions of the state from the better re-
suits obtained by following the meth
DDS in road and bridge construction
approved by the state highway com
mission. The commission has a very
small appropriation compared with the
amount of work there is before it 20
do. This has made it impossible for
the work to be as widespread as it
should, so there are great many
people in the state who do not know
there is a highway commission or the
character of the work it is doing.
AS explained recently, at some Of the
Farmers institutes by State Engineer
A. N. Johnson. It is evident that it is
a work of interest to every taxpayer in
the state, particularly the taxpayers
in the country districts.
Machiner Vi Supervision.
AS the state khway commission
acts in an advis capacity only, it
has not been in be counties simply
because the local officials in those
counties have not taken sufficient in
terest to inform themselves or to
make use of the assistance I'D help
offered by the state through com
mission. For example, when road
work is to be undertaken, the commits
sion is ready to prepare plans and
specifications; has road machinery.

As stated by State Engineer Jonu-

mission is to show by practical ex-
ample how better roads and bridges
may be had for the money the tax
payers are furnishing today.-Prs-

/ local officials without charge. together
with man to run the machinery prop
eTiy and also a man TO take general
supervision Of the work, So that it IS
possible to get the work done in the
best manner and at the least cost I'M
der the conditions imposed.
The commission has made many
very interesting and useful expert
ments in the construction of modern
roads. It has built roads by merely
mixing asphaltic oil with the earth,
making a road which has withstood
weather conditions through the sum
mer and winter without becoming
muddy-a construction that gives
great promise. especially on the more
lightly travelled roads.
Macadam roads have been con
structed by treating the surface with
asphaltic or and tar preparations 50
that mud tracked upon the road does
not dislOdge the stone and injure the
surface. Such construction is also
necessary wherever there is large auto
mobile traffic. This work done by the
commission is new in this state. and,
in fact, has not been carried on unku
the past few years in any part Of the
country.

Does Advertising
Pay? . -.

THE BUSINESS OF PUBLICITY is reaching
a basis on which its operations and results may
be reduced to exact computation by ex-
perienced advertisers.
The question "Does advertising payf' is seldom
asked nowadays. If someone should ask this
question in the twentieth century, the answer would
naturally follow: alt depends entirely upon the
advertising and npon the commodity advertised
Many a merchant has turned his back the
suggestion of daily newspaper advertising cam
paign, thinking, Cant afford it, and little reaz-
ing how tremendously profitable investment in
advertising space can be, when properly handled.
An advertising campaign carefully and judi
cously planned may be carried in comparatively
small way until the advertiser is satisfied that he is
the right track. Once we'll started, he may put
on full steam and be of big results
