istering the act, has extended it's or
ganization to provide the requisite ma
chinery. Ten district officers with an
engineer in charge have been estab-
lished in as many areas.
Forty State Projects.
Under the provisions of the act 40
states have submitted 1873 projects in
volving total of approximately 1,730
miles, according to the secretary's re-
port. OF this number 139, embrac-
ing 1882 miles and calling for an es-
timated expenditure including federal,
state and local funds Of $7,947, 114.50,
have been approved. These projects
involve federal funds to the extent Of
SO, 455, 573.76, or 23.75 per cent of the
total allotment, $14,550,000 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 81 projects, aggregating 1874 miles
and involving $19O,60O.S4 of federal
funds and total of 50, 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 $40,-
969, 900 it is estimated that the expendi-
ture Of state funds in 1917 will reach
approximately $60,OO0,OOO, or an in
crease Of nearly so per cent. These
funds are distinct from local expendi-
lures and indicate an advance in state
participation in highway work.

Perpetual Honeymoons.

A woman writer asks If perpetual
honeymoon can exist In this modern
day, and quotes in connection with the
question what another woman said, to-
wit: "Any woman who has lived with
man eleven years can find ground
for divorce" There is much talk Of
this kind and there are many divorces,
all Of which are the product Of mate
rlallsm, which doesn't see the differ
ence between pleasure and happiness.
That fact in its real working is behind
all divorces and married infelicities.
The fact is that pleasure is material
and soon wears out; happiness is spir-
itual and lasts forever. Every mar
riage must note these standpoints, for
they are swayed by one or the other.
This is the age of divorces, because
materialism flourishes as never before.
1t makes the husband impatient and
the wife intolerant. When a couple
reaches that state they should sing
old hymns together and go to prayer
meeting. Cigars and dry goods won't
save them.-Ohio State Journal.

Importance Of paranuaY.

1t was from Ascuncion, Paraguay,
that parties went out to found Buenos
Aires, Santa Fe, Corrientes and others
Of the important cities Of the River
Plate region. In fact, Argentina and
Uruguay were once under the juris-
diction of the governor Of Ascuncion,
and it was at the request Of Para
guayan governor that Argentina was
cut off from Paraguay. The first rail-
road constructed in South America was
built in Paraguay. The first iron foun-
dries, the first cannon and munitions
factories of South America were all
established in Paraguay.

BUILDING PUT ON WAR BASIS
How the Federal Aid Road Is Admin.
istered--Improved State Laws One
Result--AnnuaT Expenditure
of $300,ooo000 Involved.

That is the policy which David #.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, be-
Hieves should be followed in highway
construction during the war. 1t means
that road building in the United States
will be put on war basis; that the
highway which is vitality important
from q 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
anounced 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 q 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 a
.delay of the work until 1919 or later
would have. With the information
thus assembled and classified, an eff
scient road-construction program is as
.sured. While it 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 $soO,ooo,ooo.
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $300,000,000, and
there is scarcely section of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by
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 recent report OF
Secretary Houston. The office of pub
1ic roads and rural engineering, which
lis intrusted with the burden Of admin

TRANSPORT OF FARM PRODUCTS

Farm products will not be denied
transportation facilities, according to
statement of the director general of
railroads, issued after a conference
with representatives Of the United
States department Of agriculture. No
list of "non-essential" agricultural
products has been issued, nor is such
an order contemplated. The director
general believes that under the plan
now being formulated it viii be posi-
BILE to provide adequate Transports
ton for farm products this year. Farm
ers should place orders for cars when
needed with local freight agents as
has always been the practice.

SECRETARY HOUSTON
STATES WAR ROAD
BUILDING POLICY.

So far as 1t is practicable to
do so, this department will urge
the maintenance of the high
ways already constructed; the
construction and completion of
those highways which are vital
" important because Of their
bearing upon the war situation
or for the movement of COM
modities: the postpOnement of
al highway construction rela-
lively less essential or not based
upon important military or eco
nonic needs. The department
is preparing to suggest to the
state highway departments the
proposition Of a schedule Of
work for the federal aid pro-
iects for 1918 In line with this
policy.-Secretary Houston, In

SEBORRHEA Is
KILLING HAIR

Everyone knows that the men
and women of America are losing
their hair
The prevalence OF seborrhea (the
.dandruf disease is appalling. But
Just as science proved that dand-
ruff was due to bacilh, science now
offers the remedy.
II is FAMO
FAMO destroys the dandruf ba-
clili and stops the seborrhean ex-
cretion, 1t stops all itching of the
scalp.
1t penetrates the scalp and unless
the hair roots are entirely dead, it
encourages and stimulates the
growth of new hair
The ingredients OF FAMO have
never before been used in the treat
ment of the scalp. But they are
well known TO medical science
Three years were spent in per
fecting FAMO in one OF the great
pharmaceutical laboratories of De
troit
FAMO makes the hair and scalp
healthy 1t nourishes the hair in
a wonderful way and makes it lus-
trous and fluffy.
