Forty State Projects.
Under the provisions of the act 40
states have submitted 1873 projects in
volving a total of approximately 1.730
miles, according to the secretary's re-
port. OF this number 139, embrac-
ing 1852 miles and calling for an es-
timated expenditure including federal,
state and local funds of S7,949. 145O.
have been approved. These projects
involve federal funds to the extent of
S3,455, 573-76, or 23.75 per cent of the
total allotment, S14,550,OOO to the
various states for the fiscal year 1917
and 1918. Six projects covering 40
miles have been disapproved- Agree
ments have been entered into or are
in the course of preparation in the case
of "a projects, aggregating 1874 miles
and involving $50. 6OO-S4 of federal
funds and a total of $2.225, 944-74-
The full effect of the federal aid
road act cannot be measured by any
comparison of funds expended in 1916
and made available for 1917, as many
of the legislatures did not meet until
early in the calendar year 1917 1t is
significant, however, says the secre-
tary, that while the expenditure OF
state funds in 1916 aggregated $4O.-
969. 900 it is estimated that the expendi-
ture of state funds in 1917 will reach
approximately 100000, 600. or an in
crease of nearly so per cent These
funds are distinct from local expendi-
lures and indicate an advance4h state

For Safety's Sake.

Two brothers who live in an East
Lancashire manufacturing town were
noted for being exceptionally well
served with nasal organs.
One of the ring spinners at the mill
where they worked invited them to a
wedding and promised to send cab
for them.
The cab duly arrived and the two
brothers entered and planked them
selves down, one in each window.
In order to create an impression
during the drive to the wedding. the
two brothers were looking out of the
cab, one on either side, SO that the
people could see them.
All went well until the cab came to a
rather narrow railway arch, which our
travellers had to pass through. The
cabman looked back to take his bear
ings, and, seeing the two brothers
noses sticking out of the windows on
either side, shouted:
Put them elbows in, please T'-To-
ronto Mail and Empire.

STATES SPEED OP-
GRAFTON OF FEDERAL
AID ROAD ACT.
AGRICULTURAL

Probably the most significant
result thus far of the operation
of the federal aid road act has
been the enactment by a num-
Der of state legislatures of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative &C
ton in some states was neees-
sary to meet the requirements
of the federal act, but many of
the states have gone further
policies. All the states have as
sented to the provisions of the
act-42 by their legislatures
and six by their governors.
Thirty-three had a highway de-
partment within the meaning of
the act upon the date of its ap-
proval; the remaining Is have
since enacted legislation Great
ing highway departments which
comply with the terms of the
law. The highway departments
in 10 states have been greatly
strengthened, specific appropria-
tons to meet the federal funds
have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
islation has been enacted in
nine states. Forty-two states
now have satisfactory mainten-
ance laws. Nearly all the states
have submitted definite schemes
or programs of work for the en-
tire five-year period covered by
the act, or for the greater por-
ton of it. The formulation of
carefully prepared plans for the
full period in advance of con-
structfon tends to prevent waste

How the Federal Aid Road Is Admin

ResuIt-AnnuaI Expenditure
of $500, ooo, 900 Involved.

That is the policy which David f.
Houston. secretary of agriculture, be-
lieves should be followed in highway
construction during the war. 1t means
that road building in the United States
will be put on n war basis; that the
highway which is vitality important
from a military standpoint and for the
movement of commodities Will receive
priority of consideration in projecting
programs of construction.
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by the
Office of public roads of the depart
ment of agriculture. schedule forms on
which the states are requested to set
forth their proposed federal aid work
for the 1918 working season. These
schedules call for description of
each road, the character, quantity and
rail haul of the materials to be used,
the probable cost, the amount of fed
eral funds desired, the specific purpose
of the improvement, its bearing upon
the war situation, and what effect
delay of the work until 1919 or later
would have. With the information
thus assembled and classified, an eff
cient road-construction program is as
sured. While 1T is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation of road materials, the
expectations are that the transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment of such materials
for essential projects can be made.
Expenditure of $500, 600 ,o0o-
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $500. 000.O 900. and
there is scarcely a section of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by a
marked disturbance in road work
In the administration of the federal
aid road act of July IL, 1916. which
provides for cooperation between the
federal government and the states in
the construction of rural post roads
and of roads and trails within and
partly within the national forests,
very satisfactory progress has been
made by the department of agricul-
ture, according to a recent report OF
Secretary Houston The Office of pub
lie roads and rural engineering, which

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney bladder disease
If the kidneys are not in q healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions
Get medium or large size bottle im-
mediately from any drug store.

"One&of the children told the rest
how her dog came home from a camp

She said that her daddy had been

and that every morning they went to
a nearby lake to fish. She said that
had been some months before, for of
course. she said it was little too ear
ly i'll the season for her daddy to fish
this year.
But anyhow one day her dog could
not be found by her daddy and his
friends as they went off to fish. They
whistled for him and still he did not
come. They looked for him and then
decided that he had gone off on a lit
tie hunting trip and that he would find
his way back to the camp.
"He had never been known to lose
his way. But when he came home
that night, he said, the dog was filed
with our quilts.

was not going to let her dog out of his
