THE GOVERNOR TO SELECT
The Experimental Highway That Will
Be Designated by MIR. Craig to Be
Built Under the Direction Of Aari.
cultural Department.

Raleigh.-A special from Washing
ton states that Senator Simmons has
secured $4,000 of government money
for experimental work in building
model good roads in North Carolina.
This is part of an appropriation of
100000 carried in the postofice ap-
preparation bill last year for model
highway construction. 1t was incor-
porated in the bill by an amendment
offered by Senator Simmons, and is
the first big appropriation ever made
for the purpose by the federal govern
ment.
The country has been divided into
eight groups and North Carolina has
been selected as the state to make the
experiments in the South Atlantic
group. This was agreed upon after
many conferences between Mr.. Sim
mons, Postmaster General Burleson
and Secretary of Agriculture Houston.
Governor Craig will be requested to
make the selection of the road to
be improved.
The agricultural department will
insist upon constructing the best type
Of road, the government paying one
third of the expense and the local
community two-thirds. The roads
will be built under the direction of
the division of public roads of the
department of agriculture.
Instead of building one road of rs
or 40 miles in length Senator Sim
mons hopes that Governor Craig and
the department will arrange for the
construction of at least two roads,
one in the eastern and one in the
western part of the state.
The postmaster general and the
secretary of agriculture are anxious
10 begin the work as soon as possible
50 that it's success may be noted and
a report made to the next session OF
congress and possibly furnish the
basis for comprehensive plan Of CO
operation between the federal and
state government in highway con
struction.

Good Roads in Halifax.

Scotland Neck.-The benefits of the
splendid roads built by the county
convicts was demonstrated when a gen
tleman came to town driving a pair
of mules to wagon; after some fer
tilizer. His route was over the i'm
proved roads, and loading 1000
pounds of guano he started out. The
team carried the load with apparent
ease, whereas heretofore a few hun.
dred pounds would have been difficult
to carry. This is a splendid lesson in
favor of good roads in this and other

Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys. .r
1t is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect OF bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this fltering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
GUS or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are IT.
rtated, and the circulation, digestion, etc.,
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys. ;,
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-torm-
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-just make you feel better all
over,

SHORT ON BRoTHERLY LOVE
Luckily William Had Grace Enough to
Remember That Henry
Was Sacred.

William was not kind to his small
brother Henry; in fact, he looked upon
him as a nuisance, scourge sent from
heaven to try his spirit and spoil his
fun. Especially that day was Henry
a thorn in the older boys flesh. In
his efforts to rid himself of his burden,
William resorted to all the methods
the mind of youth suggested, but in
vain. Henry continued to stick as
close, If not closer, than a brother.
William, finally said the boys
father, who had witnessed, unheard,
the final paroxysm of the unequal
struggle, you should be ashamed of
yourself to treat your little brother in
that way! He ought to be sacred to
you"
William made no reply; but short.
ly afterward, believing himself to be
free of surveillance, he was heard to
address Henry thus: Always taggin
after me! If you weren't sacred I'd
break your blamed face for you'll

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make
parting. gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated. the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than ON
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once OF twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
