Ideal Food for

In Italy and other oil using nations con-
stipation and dyspepsia are practically I'M

hair is glossy-their eyes bright-their skin
soft and velvety. They feel like singing all
the time. Quite contrast to the dyspeptic
conditions in this country where people drug
themselves continually to aid the digestion
of their foods and to force the process of
cosmetics and other complexion remedies are
due to lack Of proper digestion and bowel
regulation.

Federal Aid Act Appropriating $780,
100000 for Highways. Copied
From Illinois Law.

Dixon. H., Aug Sin an address
delivered here yesterday at a local
chautauqua by Governor Dunno, mi
nois' road problem was given thor
ough review.
The governor called attention to the
work done in Vermilion county with
their bond issue of S1,500,000; told OF
the highway conditions in Illinois
the state aid road law and to the work
which has been accomplished under
it. The governor told his audience
that Lee county could issue 100000
in bonds and the cost would be only
: r cents per acre of land per year for
20 Yeas and by applying their state
aid allotment TO the liquidation of one
half the bond issue the cost would be
only 40 cents per acre. Attention
was called to the attitude Of the coun-
ties in favoring bond issues for roads
and a prediction was made that with
in IS months elections viii be called
involving a total aggregate amount of
$4,000 900.
Speaking Of the federal aid act
which appropriates $50. 100000 as fed

Governor Dunno said: 1t is both a
compliment and a very encouraging
fact that the United States federal
government. in making provisions for
spending $S5, 100000 upon the roads OF
the country, as federal aid, patterned
