GOOD CAUSE FOR ALARM
These Figures VIII Make Maysyille
People Take Notice.

Deaths from kidney disease have in
creased 1910 in twenty years. People
overdo nowadays in SO many ways
that the constant filtering Of poisoned
blood weakens the kidneys. Beware
of fatal Bright's disease. When back
ache or urinary ills suggest weak kid
neys, use Doan's Kidney Pills, live
carefully, take things easy and avoid
heavy eating. Doan's Kidney Pills
command confidence, for no other kid
ney remedy is so widely used or so
generally successful. Home endorse
ment is the best proof of merit Read
this Maysville residents story:
Miss Dora Edgington, Wood ST.
says: 81 have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and from the results received,
have every reason to recommend
them. At times my kidneys have be-
come weak and have been irregular in
action. My back has ached, too, and
has been very weak and lame across
my kidneys. When l have used Doan's
Kidney Pills for this trouble, they
have never failed to relieve the com
wise anyone to get a box Of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Chanslor's Drug Store,
If troubled in that way"
Miss Edglngton is only one Of many
Maysville people who, have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney rem
edy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S KID
NEY PILLS, the same that Miss Edig-
ington had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. Coo all stores. Fos-

A FEDERAL COMMISSIONERS OF
ROADS

Has tn time not come when the ma
tional government must take over the
highways of the country just as it has
taken over abe railways and the tele-
phone and telegraph lines, and super
wise their improvement as a national
duty? Nlk&fEM
Should there not be Federal Com
missioners of Highways with the jur-
addiction and authority of a McAdoo,
or a Burleson?
Should not the wastes of road build
ing be eliminated to the fullest extent
lust as combining the railroads into
one system has eliminated wastes
which ran into hundreds of millions
and which, in the case of highways,
aggregate a great many millions an
nually through spending by the shot
gun method.
lust think of the vast network Of
roads throughout America-not all
good roads, but roads which can be
made good-which should fit into the
economic scheme, lowering costs oil
production and distribution, promot-
ing greater social intercourse, low
ering costs of production and distrlb-
ution, promotion greater social inter
course, improving our school faclll-
ties and ease of reaching them, pro-
viding more pleasures in life and
making us, all in all, more proficient
as a Nation and broadening and en-
riching our individual lives.
Coordination of our highways into a
national system means all of these
things for it means money spent from
one fountainhead and distributed
euuitably throughout our forty-elght
states. Roads would be built under
general plan and that plan would be
to build them as the Romans did
roads of solid masonry which stand up
Indefinitely under traffic.
The first cost of roads built on such
a plan would cost more per mile but
lots less per capita than they do now
for money would be spent wisely and
for nothing but materials, labor and
expert knowledge of road building.
Give us a United States Highway
Commissioner with full power to act
A man who knows his job. Put him in
Office now so that we can start at once
to build the kind of roads we ought to
have in this country.

RED CROSS OBTAINS
Big SUPPLY OF YARN
Has / 400, Pounds for Dis
tributiOn Among
Chapters.

George Il. Scott, acting general man
ager of the American Red Cross, issued
a statement last night for the informa-
ton OF the millions of knitters who are
working for the army and navy.
when the War Industries Board"
he said, advised the Red Cross that
future production Of knitting yarn
would be greatly reduced we imme-
diately began to purchase all yarns
suitable for our knitting. As a result
We have to-day in stock or on order
1,4OO. 900 pounds e yarn for distribu-
ton among our chapters 1t is hoped
that we may obtain some additional
yarn from wool unsuitable for Govern
ment uses. The expected total, how
ever. will be considerably below the
10, 0000 900 pounds used last year.
while the total of yarns We can
secure Is being determined We are
studying how TO use our supply to pro-
duce only garments which are most
essential. When conclusion is
reached we will announce our full pro-
gramme OF knitting.
TN addition to this stock OF yarn the
Red Cross has ready for distribution
100000 sweaters. $4,000 muffiers.
$4,000 wristlets, 22S,oo0 helmets and
I $4,000 pairs OF socks. total OF
1874 900 articles.
I'VE are hopeful. therefore, that these
and such additional garments as we
shall be able to make will enable US 10
meet the more urgent requirements OF
our men during the coming winter.
1T will be of interest to the women
who have been knitting to know that
from September l. 1917. to June Is.
1918, the Red Cross distributed 5,S75,0OO
knitted garments to the army and navy
OF the United States. During the same
period $4,000 knitted articles were sent
to the Red Cross commissioners in
France and italy for distribution to sol
diers, sailors and civilians,
"At the request of the War Industries
Board. with which the Red Cross works
In close cooperation. We have urged
chapters and individual workers not to
buy wool In the open market. but TO Sc
cure their materials through our depart
