IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

About four years ago broke out with sores on my arms like boils. Af- ter two months they were all over my body, some coming, and some going away. In about six months the boils quit, but my arms, neck and body broke out with an itching, burning rash. It would burn and itch, and come out in pimples like grains of wheat. l was in a terrible condition; l could not sleep or rest. Parts of my flesh were raw, and l could scarcely bear my clothes on. could not lie in bed in any position and rest In about a year the sores extended down to my feet. Then I suffered agony with the burning, itching sores. could hardly walk and for long time l could not put on socks.

I got no benefit from all this. was nearly worn out, and had given up in despair of ever being cured when I was advised by friend to try Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuti- cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and used exactly as directed. I used the Cuticura Remedies constantly for four months, and nothing else, and was perfectly cured. It is now a year, and l have not had the least bit since l am ready to praise the Cuticura Rem- edies at any time. (Signed) D. L. Cate, Exile, Ky, Nov. 10, 1910.

A LARGE UNDERTAKING.

That the nation-w wide movement for
the Improvement Of the public roads
involves large undertaking is indi-
Gated by information just made pub
lie by the United States department
Of agriculture. Secretary Wilson
shows that 100000 miles Of road must
be improved before the public road
system can be considered really eff
cient.
1t is only within recent years that
the movement for better roads has
gained force. The consequences Of
! DELAY are shown in the fact that there
are now but 19O.467 miles Of inn
proved roads in this country. These
improved roads constitute $50 per
cent Of the total public roads, i'm
proved and unimproved. It is figured
that the percentage will have to be
increased to 20 before traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
the minimum OF wear and tear on
horses, wagons and automobiles.
The French system OF roads, long
considered the best in the world was
bonded by Napoleon for $4,000 900. and
something in the neighborhOod OF
S612,775,OOO has already been spent on
that system. In this country, owing !
to the great distances, II is probable
that close to $4,000. 900 900 will have to
be spent before a proper road system
is developed. While the amount nee
essary to perfect a great road system
seems fabulously large, Il does not
seem so large when II is divided
among the various states and spread |
over a period Of five, ten or fifteen
years. When il Is considered that New
York state has bonded itself for $780,
100000 and that $5.OO0,OOO year Is
now being expended by that state. IL
