COUNTY ROADS

Highways but are Salts
fled With Home Roads

The Levy Court Highway Commits
sioner Price and County Engineer Will
son were tho guests Of the Headley
Good Roads Company in Philadelphia
yesterday. The party visited Ard
more. Narberth. Bala and Bryn Mawr,
and had an opportunity to inspect diff
ferent roads The Headley Company
has a binder preparation on the market
which is used on many Of the Pennsyl-
yania roads.
In speaking Of the roads inspected
yesterday a member of the party said:
New Castle county roads are superior
TO the ones we inspected. No where
we go do we see a road to equal the
Elsmere road. IL has been built for
six years and it shows up better than
some roads we saw yesterday OF course
the Pennsylvania people use binders.
But New Castle county acnnot afford
to pay $4,000 a mile for something that
will last only three years.
1--WE have good roads in New Castle
county We may not keep down the
dust. hul we build roads which let the
farmers han1d bigger loads with two
horses than they did formerly with
three horses"

Financial and Commercial

f. d. Lackey & co. states to-day; "Af-
ter the strength displayed during yester-
days market. the recession that occurred
i'm this mornings early dealing was some-
what surprising, but the bulk Of the SELL
ing came from the professional plungers
who we're working for a break. The
market at this writing has partially re-
covered its early losses and with public
sentiment improving. and the larger in
terests willing to buy stocks on recess
sions, il looks as if the turn Tor The bet
ter marketwise had been started. Such
stocks as Steel, Reading. Union and
Southern Pacific are all in strong hands
and on any buying OF importance the
whole market will quickly advance"
c. 1. Hudson and Co. stated at noon:
various considerations suggest caution.
The Brooklyn Bank suspension so soon
after the previous one, was something Of
a factor Ia stocks. This matter is purely
local and need not be taken very se1-
ously. We are not yet out Of the woods
on labor matters. but an early adjust
ment is likely. Crop news is generally
reassuring and the government report Is
expected to eb fairly good. II is now
generally believed that something import-
ant is pending in Connection with Great
Northern. perhaps the long expected
bond issue. to take over Northern Pa
cihcs half interest IN Burlington But
we have no facts yet"

somewhere and really life was not
worth the effort / made to keep going.
"A good friend advised me to use
Peruna and l was glad to try anything,
and l am very pleased to say that six
bottles made a new woman Of me and
I have no more pains and life looks

There are a great many phases Of
woman's ailments that require the as
sistance OF the surgeon.
But by far the greatest number Of
such cases are annenabel to correct
medicinal treatment.
A vast multitude Of women have
been relieved from the ailments pecu-
liar TO their sex through the use of
Peruna as prescribed by DR.. Hartman.
He receives many letters from all
parts of the country relating to sub
jects of vital interest to womanlSind.
OF the vast multitude Of women who
take Peruna only "A very small percen-
tage consider II necessary to write to
the doctor at all.
While 1t is not affirmed that Peruna
will relieve every case OF this kind, IL
Is certainly the part Of wisdom for
every woman so afflicted TO give Pc
runa a fair trial.

DANGER YET
FROM FROSTS

The unreasonable weather is max
ing farmers who have more or less
small fruit planted on their land a
little uneasy The high temperatures
which have been recorded during the
past week have started the buds and
number OF the small fruit raisers
say that their trees seem 20 be farther
advanced than they should be at this
season Of the year. Frosts are very
likely 70 visit this section before the
end of the month and it is not un-
known for heavy ones to come in May
With the buds on the peach, pear, plum
and apple trees as far advanced the
first week in April as they usually are
toward the last of the month, IL seems
that the crops of fruit from these
trees are foredoomed. II no further
frosts come, the trees will be all right,
but unless fortune is with the farm
ers. this season, some of them say
they will get it in the neck.
