The association will endeavor to

the state sanatoria or at home" said
Miss Webb. "The suspicious cases
will be referred TO their own physi-
clans. when they have one, and If not
will be visited by the nurses of the
city board of health or persuaded to
visit the city dispensary."
No decision has been reached re-

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 SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
TO 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.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

RURAL ROADS NOT IMPROVED
Not More Than One-Fourth of 1 Per
Cent of Nations Roads Suitable
for Motor Traffic.

Official figures show that there are
In the United States approximately 3
100000 miles of rural roads of which
II per cent are classed as improved.
Road engineers, however estimate that
no more than one-fourth of l per cent
OF the nations roads are suitable for
motortruck traffic. More than 6.OOO.-
600 motor vehicles are now using the
highways, and of this number about
100000 are trucks varying from less
than ton capacity to vehicles cana
bic of hauling five to seventeen loads.
The most conspicuous example of
anything approaching the efficiency of
national thorOughfare in the United
States is the Lincoln highway. Or
ganiZed as a private enterprise six
years ago, to stimulate good-rOad
building the officers of the association
have raised several million dollars by
private subscription and have stimu-
lated the Improvement of many sec
tons of the highway by the states and
counties through which 1t passes.

GOOD

SENTIMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Governors Of Twenty-Five Western
States Petition for Increased An

If the passage of the Townsend bill

While the Townsend bill asks for

MUST BE MELTED IN TOWER
Only Way City of st. Louis Can Get
Rid of Bell Which Renders
Structure Unsafe.

The two-ton bell which hangs in
the tower of the city hall has made the
tower unsafe, but the bell is so large
it would be dangerous to try to take
1t down, so it is TO be melted right
where it is with acetylene blow
torches, such as are commonly seen
in use by workmen repairing car
tracks, says the ST. Louis Post Dis
patch.
Building Commissioner McKelvey
pronounced the tower unsafe rs long
rs the bell remains, because the steel
supports have been corroded. More
over, he said, an attempt to lower the
bell would be very dangerous there
fore the decision to take it down a
bucketful at a time.
The only time i'm recent years that
the bell has been rung was the dav Of
the armistice celebration. 1t was rung
when the building was constructed i'm
1904. The bell cost about $1,000. The
expense of removing it will be about
$500. 1t is six feet high and four
feet in diameter at the base.
