land of this state. 1t is by provid-
ing a good road for such travel that
Minnesota will encourage the best
kind of immigration.
The highway commission took a
census of the traffic on three of the
main roads in the state last year.
The average travel in the early au-
tumn amounted to 500 automobiles
per day, of which one-fourth were
from outside the state, as shown Dy
their license tags. This is quite
significant, for it shows that the
travel on the roads is no longer To-
cal in character, but is interstate
and, in a greater degree, inter-coun-
ty, which brings out the fact that
the main highways are state ra-
ther than county proposition. AL
though the counties have cooperated
most satisfactorily with the state
highway commission in the construc-
ton and maintenance of these roads
the rapidly increasing through
traffic makes it necessary to provide
some additional means of keeping
such roads in condition. This is par

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a Fed Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses off With Fingers-
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by
q Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid
one feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In:
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with, the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the
surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for you.-Adv.

WHAT MINNESOTA IS
DOING FOR HER ROADS
(By the Minnesota State Highway
Commission.)

Although all the main highways
of the state have not yet been con-
nected up with substantial con-
struction, the touring possibilities
in Minnesota are greater than most
people realize. In the northern part
of the state there is wonderful
recreation district which may be
traversed comfortably by automo-
biles. The roads there provide not
only an opportunity for pleasure
seekers but have also accomplished
the more important purpose of open
ing up the country to prospective
settlers. During the past year many
homeeekers have made an examina-
ton of the country by automobile,
and the state is deriving great ben
eft from this new class of immi-
grafton, namely, the welto-do far
mer from the southern states who
combines a pleasure trip with the
business of locating a home for him

If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious,
Clean Little Liver and Bowels.

Children love this "fruit laxative" !"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop play
ing to empty the bowels, and the re-
suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom-
ach sours, then your little one be-
comes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't
eat, sleep, or act naturally, breath is
bad, system full Of cold, has sore
throat, stomach-ache, or, diarrhoea.
Listen, Motherl See if tongue is
coated, then give q teaspoonful Of
California Syrup Of Figs" and i'm
q few hours all the constipated
waste, sour bile and undigested food
passes out of the system, and you
have a well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers give "Califor-
mia Syrup of Figs" because it is per-
fectly harmless; children love it, and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels. ...
Ask your druggist for q 50-cent
bottle Of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children Of all age and for grown
up plainly printed on the bottle. Be-

side of the most thickly populated
parts of the country. Even in the
United States, with their greater
density of population and their pro-
gressive road policy, they are only
able to get satisfactory roads in ru-
raj districts by transferring too
great burden of construction to

Narrow minor streets and roads in

ORGANIZATION IN ROAD WORK.

While many papers and books
have been written about methods OF
carrying on road work it is very
rarely that anything on the subject
comes from a contractor, although
he is the man who actually plans and
conducts the operations. AS rule
he is so busy endeavoring to COM
plete his roads to the satisfaction Of
the authorities and with a profit to
himself that he is disinclined to
spend any of his spare moments
telling how he does things.
Once in a while, however, con-
tractor will make a few comments
and when he does so they are usu-
ally instructive to the public whose
taxes keep him busy. For instance,
John H. Gordon, President of the
New York State Road Builders AS.
sociation, recently made some state.
ments showing how the character .o1
the labor employed on road work in.
fuences its cost. The ultimate sue.
cess of a contractor with financial
resources sufficient for his work de.
pends on his organization and his
plant, according to Mr.. Gordon
who ranks the organization as the
more important Of the two, because
a good organization will obtain fail
results even with mediocre plant
while a poor organization cannot
furnish good results under any con
ditions.
There are steam shovel engineer
who will get out twice as much ma
terial in a given time as their les
skilled confreres. There are autt
truck drivers who will get more mil
cage, carry. heavier loads and pre-
serve the integrity of their ma
chimes immeasurably better than tht
less competent chauffer whose ex
perience has been brief and otter
only with light pleasure car. There
are steam roller engineers who arr
real road builders, who know whe1
the sub-grade is properly rolled
when the stone is consolidated suf
ficiently, and how to roll differen
varieties of rock. These men art
rare, and too often the contractor
has to trust his expensive roller tx
a man whose experience has beer
gained in running a saw mill OF
threshing engine and who knows on
ly enough to keep up steam and rur
the roller back and forth. Rolling
lis perhaps the most important clas.
of work in building gravel and bro
ken stone roads, and the time spent
in training men into good roller oper
ators is generally well expended.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
| Gays glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

To see the tinge Of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out,
just try inside-bathing every morn
ing for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink
glass of real hot water with q tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it as a harmless means of washing
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigesti-
BILE waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purify
ing the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the
stomach. The action of hot water
and limestone phosphate on an emp
ty stomach is wonderfully invigor-
ating. 1t cleans out all the sour fer
mentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to de-
monstrate that just as soap and hot
water cleanses, sweetens and fresh
ems the skin, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the blood and
internal organs. Those who are sub
ject to constipation, bilious attacks,
acir stomach, rheumatic twinges,
also those whose skin is sallow and
complexion pallid, are assured that
one week of inside-bathing will have
them both looking and feeling bet
ter in every way.-Adv.
