wind in other sections of smaller

whole will be light in comparison to
the vast amount of benefit resulting
from the abundant moisture. The

A Government Road in Arizona.
One of the very few roads con-
structed wholly by the United States
Government in the United States is
the splendid highway from Phoenix,
Arizona, to- the Roosevelt Dam in the
Salt River Valley Project. This road
is some eighty miles in length and
was constructed for the purpose, prl-
marily, Of hauling the heavy machin-
cry to be used in building the dam.
1t is one of the finest roads in Am
erica and is very popular drive for
tourists. For the entire distance Of
eighty miles it is one continuous pan
Drama showing in great variety OF
colors magnificent gorges, cliffs and
canyons on the desert mountains. At
the end of the drive lies the greatest
artificial lake in the world, twenty
four miles long and containing
enough water to irrigate 100000 acres
lying in the valley eighty miles away.
A section Of the road up Fish
Creek Canyon is shown above. While
the state of Iowa has no such road
to construct within her borders, it is
vitality interested in the question OF
federal aid to help bring about first
class system of highways.

member of my family was afflicted
with kidney complaint and spent hun.
dreds of dollars in doctors treatment
without getting relief. This trouble
was brought on by exposure and the
contraction of cold. He complained
of a steady pain in the back and az
time passed, this trouble became worse.
The Kidneys were badly disordered and
the kidney secretions caused much disS
tress when being voided He, had a
poor appetite, lost weight and often
had dizzy spells during which there
was a blurring before the eyes. Final
iy the complaint became so bad that
the patient was confined to his bed

finally brought to our attention
