We have confirmed our statements by
sending for one of the best known
most competent consulting engineers
in the South, man whose business il
is to figure costs. He has spent three
or four days here. He has secured
figures, freight rates, distances of
haul, and everything else that enters
into the cost of road building. These
figures were taken here on the ground
in consultation with the county su-
pervisor, Mr.. Lassiter, and members
Of the board of county commission.

are $4,000 to $4,000.
There seems to be no question that
the bids that were submitted to the
commissioners were all too high. 1t

can handle, and, therefore, have put
in complimentary bids, carrying prof

work, it would carry an immense
profit.

be paved with material less expen-

Cost Too High.
The cost of concrete at $4,000
and $4,000 per mile is more than
we can afford to pay, if we are to
complete our entire system. And ev-
cry mile of road proposed in our
campaign must be paved. The people
of the county are very much exercis-
ed over the cost of this first three
miles. They realize that some other
type of paving must be used. We
have been assured by the state high

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
10 extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.

NOW ROOSEVELT CANAL.

Washington, June, 16.-Hereafter
the name of the Panama canal will be

Senator Borah, of Idaho, who has in
troduced a resolution in the Senate
on the subject, has his way.
The joint resolution states THAT
this name and designation be given to
this canal as tribute to the memory
and patriotic services Of the late The
odOre Roosevelt"
1t is now conceded by members of
Congress that If there had been no
Theodore Roosevelt there might as
yet have been no canal. He it was
who by his impotence at first with
red tape and then with the hold-up
methods of Columbia, precipitated the
revolution in Panama which thus be-
came willing to permit us to build
the canal across its territory. Presi-
dent Wilson has since urged that the

should be reimbursed to the extent Of

Vile, Elizabethtown, Leitchfield,
Hartford, jacksonville, Princeton and
Paducah. This route would connect
at Lancaster or Danville for points on
the Boone Highway. at Hodgensville
for points on the Jackson Highway,
at Elizabethtown for points on the
Dixie Highway, and at Leitchfield for
points on the proposed Dawson High
way. 1t appears that Richmond
would be one point in the eastern part
of the state that has already been
fixed because it is midway between
the northern and southern extremities
of the State. and likewise a gate to
the great oil fields to the east. There
would hardly be much question as to
the direction the Highway would take
until Lebanon was reached as a route
to the north would make too close a
parallel with the Lexington, Frank
fort and Louisville Road. At Leba-
non, however, there is going to be a
strong pull to turn the road south
through Taylor and Green, but this
would defeat the purpose to reach the
extreme western portion of the State,
as the road system of that section OF
Kentucky turns South and the new
highway would converge with the
Jackson or the Dixie. With all the
Counties from Richmond to Hodgen-
Vile on record as in favor of a pro-
gressive road program and the coun-
ties which would be touched by such
highway. The fact that we are
coming to realization of the
necessity of a good road system,
there should be no difficulty in
putting the present suggestion on
foot If the plan suggested ma

Perhaps you have never thought
of it, but this disorder is due to a
lack of moisture in the residual mat
ter of the food. If you will drink
an abundance of water, eat raw fruits
and take lots of outdoor exercise
you may be able eventually to over
come it entirely. In the meantime
use the most mild and gentle laxa-
tives. Strong and harsh cathartics
take too much water out of the sys-
TEN and make a bad matter worse

pleasant to take, and most agreeable

schools in the State of Kentucky
The rural schools open JAY. 1,
when the present contracts expire.

will be necessary to make the adop-

he will make any changes in the per-

The contracts made by the present
commission. with Gov Stanley sitting
as chairman, were with twenty-six
publishers. The total cost to the par
ents of school children throughout the
State for the books in the five years
the contracts had to run was estimat-
ed to be anywhere between $4,000

Prof Z. B. Weathers, Jr., of Frank
lin. who brought the suit, was lin

on the question whether he possessed
interest in the matter sufficient to
make him a proper party plaintiff the
court divided three and three, two
Democrats and one Republican being
on each side of the question. Judges

Dummy" Copies Not Enough.
The court also held that dummy"
copies of books are not sufficient sub
mission of a specimen copy with the

ogy, published by c. T. bearing &
Co, of Louisville; Phil Grinstead's
Speller, published by the Transylva-
mia Book Company. Lexington, and
Webster's History. published by D. c.
Heath & Co., Chicago, were submitted
in dummy form.
With reference to the copy books,
published by the Pennsylvania Book
Company, which come in q series of
eight, the court remarked that ii
could not understand why so simple
subject as writing should require
eight different books, for beginners.
1t is believed that the State Text
book Commission will readopt most
of its previous selections, hut will
most certainly reject the Heller
physiology and the Grinstead speller
Care will be taken, however, to re-
main within the SO per cent bounds.
It is matter of doubt whether the
commission can meet, make adop-
lions, after going through the for
malities of advertising, and procure
books in time for this years session

old books will be used for another
