When the Pennsylvania Legislature re-
convenes next week one Of the first import
ant subjects which will be brought to its
attention will be that of providing revenues
Tor the state Highway Department. During
the last two years the public demand for
improved highways in Pennsylvania has
become so insstent and the recognition of
the need for these improved roads has be-
come so widespread that 1t is expected that
the Legislature will recognize the necessity
for prompt action
With the single exception of the educa-
uonal institutions of the State there is no
branch Of the state Government which en-
lists more popular support in its demands
Tor revenue than that OF the States high
way system.
$4,000 MILES OF ROADS
The land area of the Commonwealth is
t4'S32 square miles. The total mileage Of
roads Of all kinds in the State is approxi-
mately 1850. Few people realize that one

latlNe enactment and ordered maintained,
repaired and reconstructed by the State
Highway Department. At the time this sys.
tenn was established by the Legislature in
WI, with supplementary acts in 1913, II
was supposed generally that a proposed
amendment to the State Constitution per-
,mitting the issuance OF bonds for road
building purposes would meet with popular
ratification. However, approval of this
plan was denied, and, in consequence there
or the State was charged with the entire
responsibility for the maintenance, repair
ana reconstruction of the State highway
system, with legislative appropriations from
ume to time as the only means Of revenue
whereby this was to be done.
S25O,OOO FOR TOLLROADS
The State Highway Department since
1913 has expended virtually all of an
appropriation Of SS,3OO,OOO made by the
1913 Legislature This appropriation which
included all moneys for all purposes other
Ihan salaries OF the department officials,
was divided as follows:
one million five hundred thousand dol
lars was specifically designated for the
purpose of repayment to the second
class townships of their share of the cash

turn TO the second-class townships hfty per

poses, provided that in no instance this sum
exceeded twenty dollars a mile over this

OF $4,000 600 specifically appropriated for
the maintenance, repair and Improvement Of

Alaska People Should not Neglect
 Their Kidneys

No kidney trouble is unimportant. Don't overlook the slightes$ back ache or urinary irregulaTity. Nature may be warning you of approach ing dropsy, gravel or Bright's dis ease. Kidney disease seldom is ia tai if treated in time, but neglect may paYe the way. Don't neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular or 6iscolored urine, headaches, wearin ess or depression. If you fe yol reed kidney help begin using tLs reliable, time-tried remedy, Doan Kidney Pills. For 50 years, Doan's have been found effective Endorsed by grateful people.
 Mrs. $. o. Turner, 6OS75 Tenth St, Sacramento, California, says: T underwent three operations and this severe strain, together with colds, affected my kidneys. I had pain through my back and could hardly stOop over for if I tried to, pains caught me. My back and limbs were so stiff I couldn's move My kidneys acted too often. DOan's Kidney Pills have promptly relieY- ed me of every attack of kidney sui fering."

Nsasness Made HIm Senator.

A former member of the United States senate says in the American Magazine:
 -The habit of neRtness had grown upon me. l know now that 1t had a great influence on my entire future career. I got so that couldn't bear the sight of a fly speck- When not waiting on customers l busied myself polishing glasses or scrubbing the counter. l saw to 1t that everything about the place glistened with Its spot less cleanliness. We had big glass domes which we used as covers for cakes. I kept these go bright and shining as to excite comment by tray- cling men. One of my duties was to prepare the ham sandwiches care fully cut away all the fat, and people got to liking my sandwiches better than those served st other stations"
 Through this habit of neatness this man won the start in life that ulti- mately landed him in the United States senate.

Advice to Young Men

Young men, you are the architects of your own fortunes. Rely upon your own strength of body and soul Take for your star self reliance, faith, hon. esty and industry. Inscribe on your banner, Luck Is a food; pluck Is a hero"
 Keep at your helm and steer your own ship and remember that the great art of commanding Is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of your self. Strike out. Assume your own position. Put potatoes in your cart over a rough road and small ones go to the bottom. Rise above the envious and Jealous. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination, with a right motive, are the levers that move the world.
 Don't drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke. Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't marry until you can support wife, Be In earnest Be self reliant Be generous. Be civil Read the pa- pers- Advertise your business. Make money and do good with 1t Love your God and fellow men. Love truth and virtue Love your country and obey its laws.
 If this advice be implicitly followed by the young men of the country the millennium Is at hand.-Noah Porter.
