RAILROADS AND GOOD ROADS
Solution of Future Transportation
Problems Seen in Hard-Surfaeed
Highways Of Country.

Any student of the railroad situation
must reach the conclusion that rail-
road operation In America has reached
the height of its efficiency and hereaf-
ter it will remain stationary Or de-
crease.
1t Is always possible that some rev.
dictionary process will be discovered,
but the long years without marked i'm
proyement of process indicate that
rpilrOad mechanics have about reached
their maximum while bureaucratic and
political control 10 assured will be
as deadening to all mechanical i'm
provement as they will be to effective
management.
Progress in transportation, there
fore, must be in other lines. Naviga-
ton has been heralded for some years
as a solution, but in spite OF heavy
government assistance, water traffic,
even on the Great Lakes, has steadily
declined. The remedy does not appear
to rest there, at least for the present.
There remain the h~ighroads. In
them salvation lies, says Chicago Trib-
une. The war, which proved the utter
incapacity of the French government
owned railways to rise to the emer-
gency, established the motor truck in
its full majesty. What the French
railroads could not do the motor
trucks on fine French highways did.
What the highroads are in France
they must be made in America.
Fortunately, we have an excellent
little beginning In the middle West.
The principle of hard roads has been
accepted and timid beginnings have
been made in a number of states, chief
among them Illinois. Let Is under
stand, and Immediately. that what has
been done and what has been legis-
lated for is merely the thin entering
wedge of our highroad program. The
narrow ribbons of concrete roads laid
out by Legislation will no more carry
the forthcoming auto truck traffic h
the old narrow gauge single track
railroads we're able 10 carry the rail-
road traffic which they caused TO de-
velOp.
II Is fortunate that we have many
agencies building roads. The nation
will do something for the most back
ward. The states. however. should

stumbled into the hole and broke his

But what's the use of buying clothes

again. what's the use of trying to buy

made her way with long, fi~at-fOOted

more force than soap on the green
tavern sign.

the depths of her. ITS hard on us

ORIGIN OF THE HORN BOOK

The horn book. invented in 1850 and
used considerably up TO the close Of
the eighteenth century. was the usual
text book of the elementary schools.
A thin slab Of hard wood was covered
with parchment on which were print
ed the capital and small letters. nu-
merals. and some elementary syllables
and words. Over this a thin sheet Of
transparent cows horn was placed
and firmly bound so that no moisture
could penetrate.

LOUISVILLE. KY, April IS.
lS20.-Mrs. F. c.. Spanyer, formerly
an emergency nurse at the city hos
pltal, is another well-known Louis
vile nurse, who recommends the
use of Trutona, the Perfect Tonic.
Like others, Mrs. Spanyer not only
racks her claims regarding Trutona
with several years experience as a
nurse, but she has also taken the
Perfect Tonic, and knows from act
ual experience just what it will do.
To read the following statement
of Mrs. Spanyer is to become con-
WINGED of the fact that Trutona is
truly preparation of unusual
inertia medicine worthy of trial
no matter how many others have
failed to give you relief.
my system was generally run
down." Mrs. Sapanyer said, Il
had indigestion so bad that 1 could
hardly eat anything. My back
would ache frequently and Il often
had headaches which would be &C
companied with dizziness. I felt
tired out all the time, too, and
could hardly do my housework I'll
tell you 1 was in awful shape"
II was formerly an emergency
nurse at the city hospital and l
ought to be able to Judge the merits
of medicine when | have had eX-
perience with all kinds for years.
Well sir, guess that's why the min
ute l tasted Trutona 1 said, there's
a real medicine all right" and be-
lieve me, it has proven to be-
Il give Trutona credit for making
an entirely new woman Of me. And
Trutona did it after many other
medicines had fatty failed. I'm
able to eat heartily now and the
food digests and doesn't hurt me
bit. l get up in the mornings feel
ing fine and Pm able 10 do all of my
Homework now"
II do hope that other people, who
are suffering from troubles like
mine, will take the advice of a
nurse who knows, and try Trutona.'
