Catarrhal Deanesfs Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cats,rrh- al deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the muous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed for ever Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.

The time is not far distant when nearly all lines of endeavor will pre- sent splendid opportunities for the women of Arkansas. Already a num- Der of factories and other concerns are employing women labor. Frank Johnson, manager of the Newport Button Company, tells us that he has been unable to operate his plant here It full strenth for some time on ac- count of the shortage of man labor, and states his company is thinking of employing women button cutters in Newport. Doubtless there are many women in this city and county who would gladly accept such posi- tions, which represent a light form of effort. And, it might be added, when the women, prompted by patriotic spirit take the place of the men who have answered the country's call, go tO work, the loafer will have to follow suit or be hooted out of the com nunity.

in having roads that can be used ev-
ery-day-in-the-year it will not be
many years before our big state can
boast Of many thousand miles Of as
good roads as any state in the Union.
There are now several thousand
trucks in Kansas and many hundred
others will be purchased this year.
Every car in Kansas is also doing
truck service in a limited way. These
trucks and cars and good roads will
help win the war by helping to re-
lieve the railroad congestion.
10000 Autos in Kansas
Kansas now has over 1861 auto
one for every ten persons.
Estimating the value of these cars at
$500 each it represents an investment
of $132, 100000 in transportation ia
cilities, to be used on the public high
ways. Estimating an annual cost Of
upkeep of 5000 per car it means an
annual expense to these owners of
S33, 100000, or q total cost of upkeep
and depreciation of $59, 100000. With
this large investment and enormous
cost of operating them on earth roads
it means that every car owner should
be vitality interested in keeping his
car out of the mud and on a hard
road to save as much gas, oil, rubber,
paint and wear as possible.
Big Saving by Keeping Cars Out Of
Mud
If these cars could be kept out of
The mud by means of 365-day roads it
would easily save $40 per car for up
Keep and depreciation. This would
mean a net saving to the car owners
per year of $11 100000. This sum
expended each year for five years
would build 10000 miles of hard roads
Or an average of almost 100 miles to
every county. The people of Kansas
must begin to look at this transpor-
tation question in large figures and
plan to build for the future to save
money and secure better service.
The benefit to farmers from good
roads is as much or more than the
auto owners.

FARMERETTE LAND
ARMY RECRUITING
In the Thousands That Are to
Assume Farm Labor Duties
Women Will Have An
Extensive Part

New York, March 7-Plans for
mobilizing the farmerettes of the
United States into q nationwide
army, to be known as the "Woman's
Land Army of America" have been
tentatively adopted by representatives
Of S25 New York women's organiza-
tions.
The organization, which expects TO
place thousands of women farmers in
agricultural sections throughout the
United States, will have an executive
committee in every State in the
Union and subcommittee in the
counties, which will work directly
with the local farm bureau agents
and oranges.
The United States Department of
Labor will assist in registering re-
cruits among the women for this farm
work through n farm labor employ
ment agent representing the depart
ment.
The plan for sending girls out in
squads will be adopted rather gener-
ally by the land army. The question
of housing the girls will be met for
the farmer by n system of community
homes for the workers. Unframed
girls will be given training at the
New York State Agricultural College
at Farmingdale, at Vassar College
and at every other school that opens
agricultural courses to women. The
workers will be registered and sent
where there is call for them.

past the water problem ut this mine
was serious one, but that has now
been overcome and the old underground
water course is proving rich digging

crevices being lined with jack from

KANSAS To BUILD
GOOD HARD ROADS
PEOPLE OF STATE BEGIN
MING TO REALIZE NEEDS
OF IMPROVED HIGHWAY
IS STATEWIDE MOVEMENT
Five Hundred Miles of Hard
Roads Already Financed
During First Year Of
Campaign

Kansas people are just begin
ming to awaken to the needs
md benefits of improved roads.
One year ago very little SEN
,;ment was manifested in the subjct.
hen there was no law under which
good roads could be built and the cost
distributed equitably. The last legis-
lature gave Kansas a most excellent
law and as fast as the people of the
community learn of its liberal pro-
visions and tn benefits of good roads
and how small the cost is to each tax
payer or landowner they at once take
steps to get the hard roads.
Hard Roads Assured in 18 Counties
The Kansas Good Roads AssOcia-
lion, of which ]. Frank Smith, of To-
peka, is General Manager, has been
conducting a state wide campaign Of
education and as q result eighteen
counties have taken final action to f.
nance hard roads tOtaling over 500
miles. About all that is now left to
do is to prepare the plans and let the
contracts and then the work will be
up to the contractors to complete the
projects. In some counties work is
already under way.
The following counties are the first
20 have these roads: Barton, 80 miles
Of brick; Bourbon, $50 miles Of mac
adam; Cloud, 27 miles Of brick and
concrete; Cherokee, 25 miles of grav-
ell; Douglas, 20 miles concrete; Dick
inson, miles of concrete, 10 miles
gravel; Linn, 30 miles macadam; Nit
chell, 12 miles concrete; Leavenworth,
% miles concrete; Sedgwick, 8 miles
concrete; Wilson, rs miles gravel; La
bette, 4S1a miles gravel; Wyandotte,
51s miles concrete; Shawnee, 10 miles
concrete; Sedgwick, 8 miles concrete;
Gray, 6 miles brick; Ford, II miles
brick; Rice, miles brick.
This is a remarkable showing for
the first year.
1900 More Miles In Sight
There are over 1000 miles more
which will probably be financed be-
fore the end of 1918.
Kansas Good Roads Association Re-
sponsible
The Kansas Good Roads Associa-
ton is cooperating with the Federal
Government and the State Highway
Department in the promotion and
building of S65 day roads, but it re-
ceives no financial support from the

funds come from donations and dues
and the work it is doing and has dons
has demonstrated beyond question it

EXPERT WINDOW CLEANERS
BUY TOO MANY BUCKETS

New York, March 7-Sealskin
coats by night and windOw-cleaners'
overalls by day time proved such a
contrast as to result in the undOing
of two clever New York thieves who
are being held on the charge of jew
elry rObberies amounting to apprOxi-
mately $4,000.
The men gained easy access to ex-
elusive homes by protesting to be
expert windOw-eleaners They bought
too many pairs of Overallls and too
many buckets from the same dealers.
And, according to the history OF
windOw-cleaners they dressed too
wen and spent too much money on
BrOsdway at nights-that is, too
much for window cleaners.
