GOOD ROADS
GOVERNMENT ASKED TO HELP
Proper Construction and Maintenance of Roads Demanded by Condl-
 tions of Great War.

"That the effective conduct of the war demands immediate attention to proper construction and maintenance of the highways of the country Is plain statement of facts" asserts Chairman George P. Coleman of the American Association of State High way Officials.
 Never before has there been such urgent need of comprehensive and definite policy for road and street con- struction and maintenance as Is the case at present. and, in making their request to the United States govern ment to formulate and promulgate at the earliest hour plan which shall be countrywide in its character, the state highway officials believe that they are expressing the concensus of opinion of all citizens interested In roads progress intended to encompass the greatest economic and military value in conserving the resources of the country and facilitating the high ways transportation of freight.
 ''In our appeal to W. G. McAdoo, director general of railroads, we have included special petition that freight cars shall be furnished early in the spring for transportation of the neces- sary materials entering into the build ing of main artery roads which com mand a priority of attention. We are going to be exceedingly hopeful that the director general will recognize the interrelated needs of railroads and highways, enabling the road arteries of communication to serve maximum help in relieving the rail lines of their present overload"

This bureau handles all the maintenance and small reconstruction work of the state and keeps the roads in good condition until long stretches become so worn that their reconstruc- ton by contract Is more economical than further maintenance.

A LITTLE BEDTIME STORY.

When Johnny Chuck ended his win ter's hibernation and appeared in the doorway of his house, he found Peter Rabbit waiting for him, a-quiver with curiosity.
 "So you are awake at last, JOhnnyT' exclaimed Peter "I was in your house several weeks ago, and there you lay with your eyes closed and your hands embracing your stomach, sounder asleep than I ever saw anybody be- fore"
 ''Oh, I wasn't asleep" replied John ny. ''I was in a brown study. Late last fall Sammy Jay, who thinks he's smart, told me conundrum.

SMALL THINGS CHECK SPEED
Flight of Airplanes May Be Greatly lmpeded by Objects Seemingly
 Hardly Worth Noticing.

How the smallest of objects will check the speed of q dirigible balloon or of an airplane may be judged when 1t is remembered that the resistance of the air to body moving through it Is proportional to the square of the speed against the surface that it pre- sents in the direction toward which 1t is moving. When the object, whether this be gasoline tank, a bomb drop per or any other accessory, is made on stream lines the resistance 1t causes is three or four times less than when it Is not.
 One builder added two kilometers an hour to the speed of his plane simply by giving the stream line form to the rubber shock receivers of his landing apparatus.
 And if the pilot lets such an object as retroscope, an altimetre or d revo- lution-metre project from the car it will reduce his speed by at least six kilometers an hour. A machine gun will have almost the same retarding effect.

Listen to me! Take no more sicken- ing salivating calomel when bilious or constipated. Don't lose days work {!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel when 1t comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into 1t, break ing 1t up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why A Corn Is So Painful And
Says Cutting Makes
Them Grow,

Press an electric button and you
form contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon sensitive nerve and
you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
quarter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. A few drops
applied directly upon a tender. ach-
ing corn stops the soreness instantly,
and soon the corn sArivels up SO 1t
lifts rigth out, root and all, without
pain. This drug freezone is harmless
and never inflames or even irritates

State Food Administrator HI. A.
Morgan has issued orders revoking
the order requiring grocerymen to
sign up in duplicate all sales of sugar
of two and five pounds. The admin
istrator finds that to do this unless
it becomes absolutely necessary will
be working a mighty hardship upon
the groceryman and for the present
has held this order up.

affidavit for the sale Of 25 pounds of
sugar for canning purposes is still in
effect and will hold good until fur
Their orders. The orders are very
strict about the canning proposition.
The consumer is required to have the
fruit ready when the purchase of
sugar is made and the canning must
be done at once, and in the affidavit
the purchaser so swears that it will
be done.
Those who have purchased these
blanks for the sale of two and five
pounds of sugar should keep the
blanks as they may have to be used
later on, depending entirely upon con
ditions. The order still holds that
only two and five pounds of sugar
can be sold, but the form of signing
up alone is annulled.
