Summit, N. C.-In letter receiv-
ed from this palce. Mr.. ]. W. Church,
the notary public, says: my wife
had been ailing for nearly IL years,
from female ailments. and at times,
was unable to leave the house. She
suffered agony with her side and
back. We tried physicians for years,
without relief. After these treat
ments all failed, she took Cardui,
and gained in weight at once. Now
she is red and rosy as school girl. "
Cardui, as tonic for women, has
brought remarkable results. 1t re-
lieves pain and misery and is the
ideal tonic for young and old. Try
it. At all druggist.

STUDY OF ROAD CONDITIONS
Department Of Agriculture Endeavor.
Ing to Discover Points Of Excel
lence In Road Maintenance.

Detailed studies of local road build.
ing systems In 100 counties are now
being carried on by the agricultural
department in cooperation with the
state highway departments and local
road authorities.
The purpose Of this study is to dis
cover the points of excellence and de-
fects in existing local methods OF
building and maintaining roads which
will aid the state authorities to put
local road management on a systema.
tized basis. The cooperating state
authorities have been asked to desig-
nate counties that present typical and

exceptional features as to topography,
character of road materials, methods
of construction and maintenance, ad-
ministrative organization, methods of
read financing, and traffic conditions
From these lists 100 counties will be
selected, and in these counties the
division of road economies will make
intensive studies
This investigation is prompted by
the fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most ef-
fective and economical methods by
which a county can develop its roads.
AT present the methods of financing
local road improvements vary from
calling on farmers for a certain num-
ber of days labor In lieu of road tax,
or the use of county prisoners in road
construction, to bond issues or main
tenance of roads from dramshop
license funds.
The department will study all OF
these systems with the view to deter
mining what system or combination OF
systems works best In actual prac-
tise
There is. moreover, at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance,
and as a result, while some counties
know to penny the purpose for
which money was spent, others have
no definite check or reporting system.
Among various counties with the same
conditions cost for excavation or other
labor is anything but uniform, and
many counties, because of the abb
sence of definite knowledge, fail to
use local and cheap materials. and
construct. roads which are unnecessar-
lily expensive for their purpose, or
which will wear out before the bond
issues are redeemed. The investiga'
tion will include a careful study oi
the use of convict labor in road con
struction.
In connection with the scientific
study the departments highway en-
gineers will advise freely with local
officials as to improvements, and thus
give each county visited the advantage
OF direct cooperation, engineering su
pervision. and assistance.
These Investigations, 1t is believed
| will yield important economic data
| bearing especially on the benefits and
burdens of road improvement and
showing the extent to which financial
outlay under given typical conditions
is justiflable.
The heads of state highway depart
ments are manifesting great Interest
and are cooperating cordially in this
work. These data when obtained VIII
be published and thus made accessible
to all county and state road officials.

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
DEMAND FOR BETTER ROADS
No Reason Why Portion Of Tax Should
Not Be Used IN Putting Highways
In Better Condition.

There is a growing demand for
more and better road making during
the autumn months. In many local.
ties the roads become filled with deep
ruts and the wheel tracks SO de
pressed during the summer that they
collect rains which soon wash them
Into cutters which soon ruin the roads
FOR heavy loads and comfortable travel
here is no reason why portion OF
