II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Tale for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, .
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. X,

The unprecedented stimulus given

One Of the early and most far-reach.
ing results directly attributable 70 tie
adoption of the federal.aid program
was the creation Of adequate state
highway departments IN II states which
previously had either no state depart
ment. or departments insuhiciently
equipped. Within one year after the
passage eof the federal-aid road act
more constructive state highway legis-
letlon was placed upon the statute
books than had ever been enacted IN
similar period in the history Of the
country.
The insistence Of the government
upon the construction Of federal.ald
roads under the supervision Of engi
neers Of the state departments las re-
suited in placing a much larger pro-
portion Of road work under skilled
direction. In 1915, the year before
the federal-aid act was passed. only
30 per cent Of the money for roads
and bridges built in the United States
was expended under the supervision
Of state highway departments. This
year these departments viii exercise
control over fully 50 per cent Of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building.
