when the frcst is cut of the ground
until the summer sets in, is the best
time to do most OF our work, and
especially is II the time TO do any
work that includes the putting of dirt
on the road surface, or of forming up
aud rounding the roadbed
Material placed on the road at This
time (on account Of the moisture)
lknits ia better, packs quicker and is
generally nodded into place before
tho dry weather arrives. Whatever
work of this kind Is not done by the
middle OF June or thereabouts is
best let 90 over until the following
Spring, as the dry season is not a
good time for work of this nature.
All cutters, ditches and culverts

What Thin Folks Should

Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-

Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-
veioped Men and Women.
Thousands of -.eople suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and fee
BILE stomachs who, having tried ad-
vertised flesh-makers, food-fads, phys
ical culture stunts and rub-On creams,
re. ign themselves to lifelong skinni-
-ess and think nothing will make them
fat Yet their case is not hopeless.
A recently discovered regenerative
force makes fat grow after years of
thinness, and is also unequalled for
repairing the waste of sickness or
faulty digestion and for strengthening
the nerves. This remarkable discOV-
cry is called Sargol. Six strength
giving, reproducing elements of &C
knowledged merit have been combined
j, this peerless preparation, which is
endorsed by eminent physicians and
| used by prominent people everywhere.
1t is absolutely harmless, inexpensive
and efficient.
A months systematic use of Sar-
gol should produce flesh and strength
by connecting faults of digestion and
by supplying highly concentrated fats
to the blood. Increased nOurishment
is obtained from the food eaten, and
the additional fats that thin people
need are provided. Leo II. Fine and
other leading druggists supply Sar-
gol and say there is a large demand
/ for it.
| While this new preparation has
given splendid results as nerve
tonic and vitalizer, it should not be
used by nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds OF
| flesh.
