partments supervised the maintenance
of nearly $1,000 miles of main and
trunk-line roads.
The increase in expenditures for
road and bridge work in the United
States has been from approximately
$SO,OOO,OO0 per year in 1904 to about
$685., 100000 in 1915, an increase Of
more than $50 per cent. The expendi-
ture of state funds during this same
period increased from about $~2,55O,OO
to more than $53,OO 900. In addition,
more than $27, 1000 of local funds
was spent under state supervision in
1915, bringing the total road and
bridge expenditures managed by the
states to $S0,415, 500. This amount is
greater than the total expenditures for
roads and bridges from all sources in
1904.
An increase in the uses of better and
more expensive types Of roads also Is
shown by the recently compiled statis-
tics. This development has been due,
in large part, to the great increase in
automobile traffic. 1t Is estimated
that there are now approximately two
and one-half million automobiles in
use of the roads Of the country, or
one car for every mile of road. This
present motor traffic Is in excess of
traffic Of all sorts IL years ago.
The cash road and bridge expendi-
lures of the United States averaged
only $2S per mile Of rural roads in
1904. In 1915 this average had grown
to 500 per mile. New Jersey led all
other states, both in 1904 and in 1915,
with $221 and $475 per mile, respec-
lively. Nevada made the least expendi-
ture in both years-$3.72 per mile in
1904 and SIT per mile in 1915.

Germans Driven to Holes.

Dundee, June 30.-'We have dri"-

ground" said Premier Lloyd George
in a speech today. when a great
army is driven to these tactics it is
the beginning of the end; it means
that We are pounding~a a sense of in
feriority into every pore of the Ger
man military mind.
1t is good for the war. 1t is even
better after the war. AS long as
Prussians have an idea of superiority
in their minds Europe will not be q
decent place for people to live in
peace. 1t, will be easier after this.
The Prussians, said Mir. LLOYD
George. have many virtues, but a
sense Of humility has never been
among them. The premier added that
the Prussian is now being taught the
virtue Of humility with a fierce and
relentless lash.
MIR. Lloyd George said that if nee
essary the government would resort
TO the eXcheQuer in order that the
price Of bread should be within the
compass Of the bulk of the people.

I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked DR..

said, It's good medicine, and good

felt greatly improved. before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms

You can feel safe In giving Cardui

The Use of Cover.

From q military standpoint-though
not In the slightest sense from a moral
or patriotic standpoint-a dead soldier
is OF no use to his command. But If a
dead soldier is Of no further military
value, a wounded soldier, like a sick
soldier. is doubly useless, since he res
ouires the attention and energy Of
otner soldiers either In first aid or in

can be rescued by stretcher-bearers,

violent TO allow for the immediate
care OF the wounded,

the intervals, as explained in a pre-
