WHEN HIS VOICE ICHANGEO ]

My 15-year-old son." says Mrs /.
c. Sherman whose home is in Brook
Ign. caught Il bad cold just when his
voice was changing and could not
get rid of it for about year. Vinol
was the only medicine that did him
any good and it was just what he
needed 10 drive his cough away and
build ar his strength"
III he had taken Ninol sooner, he
would have been spared whole lot of
annoyance and suffering.
Rronchitis-cough is simply a sign
of bodily weakness. When you build
up the bodily strength and enrich the
blood with Ninol, our delicious cod
liver and iron preparation without oil
the cough is bound To disappear
1t is really the only natural and
right Way to get rid of these bron
chial coughs that hang ON so long.
In all weakened and run down con-
ditions of the body, whether in men,
women or children. Ninol is exactly
what is needed 10 bring back strength.
We guarantee to give back your mon
ey il Ninol does not help you.

Faster progress might be made
With larger appropriations Whenever
the latter are possible. Good roads,
like all other god things. cost money,
but. unlike many of the others. they
are worth it.
Under aiA State-aid law the duty
rests on the State to control the eN-
penditures along lines of benefit TO the
State as a whole whenever the states
interests predominant. There are, Of
course, many eases where the State
can we'll afford To sacrifice an immedi
ate direct benefit for the sake of an
ultimate indirect one. Fer instance,
the approval of the State to the leea-
lions for road improvements jointly
by the State, the counties and the
towns should ordinarily be restricted to
such as would ultimately result in
connected improvements traversing
the State as a whole But, on the
other hand. it may be well worth while
for the State to help some locality out
OF mud hole located off any dream
ed-of through route for the sake of
improving the condition of the locality
itself (and hence of the State in q
part); for the sake Of educating the
locality as to proper methods to be
followed in such work; and for the
sake of inducing the town to do it's
share on a through route by reason
OF the benefits apparent from the To-
cal work.
Il believe there are few state,
where public benefit far greater than
the cost is not had by limited
amount of road Improvement by the
State itself. Were the State of Maine
10 invest, through a bond issue or 9TH
erwise as may be deemed most adj
Visa Bile, a liberal amount in the mod
ern Improvement of a reasonable num-
Der of main roads crossing the State

PRAISES MAINE ROADS.
Major Crosby Says That Their Con-
ditions Are Rapidly Improving.

The following interview with Major
W. W. Crosby, for several years past
chief engineer of the Maryland state
Roads Commission, will be of interest
in view of recent discussions relative
to State Highway conditions in Maine,
Major Crosby is former Maine man
and IL graduate of the University OF
Maine of the class of 93. Since grad
uation he has spent his entire time in
highway engineering work, being first
employed by the Massachusetts High
way Commission. and later as county
engineer Of Baltimore county. Mary
land. and for the last seven years has
held the position which he now oc-
cupies. Major Crosby is more or less
familiar with highway conditions
throughout the eastern half oi the
United States. and in consequence. is
in position to speak with authority.
Speaking of the roads of the State,
Major crosby says:
Advance is being made by Maine
in this line as in others. In
t9el, / was communicated with
in the matter OF appointment of
the new Highway Commissioner
then Just provided for In my
Judgment, first class man. Paul d.
Sargent, was chosen and, from care
ful persondl observation and inspec-
ton of his work, ] am positive that
his Efforts were along the right lines
and that the results secured by him
should be regarded as most satisfac-
tory under all circumstances. His
successor. Mr. Harrison, | know less
intimately but, from meeting him sew
eral times. | am led to trust he will
be not less successful.
From my visits to Maine in the
past Is years, l know that the condi-
ton of the public roads is improving
materially. IN fact only recently ut a
road convention in Richmond, Viz
ginia, during the discussion OF Il
scheme for a through highway from
Quebec to Miami tFloridal. it was
stated by motorists that the Maine
part of the route was all right and
again that Maine had d lot of fine
roads, | believe. from what | know
of the law and the facts, that the
Maine system for road improvement is
all right as far as it goes. Under it,,
self-relianee in the various towns and
counties is being developed by the
State as we'll as substantial aid being
accorded. Further. education in road
matters is being rapidly and generally
spread.
