EQUALIzING COST OF ROADS
States Which Have Constructed High
ways Should Be Given Credit
for improvements.

In some Of the states where high
way construction has been a part Of
the state policy for period of years,
much work has been done on high
ways which would naturally become
a part Of the national system. It Is
proposed that in these cases states or
counties should be allowed compen-
sation which will give other highway
mileage equal in value to that con-
structed. Such highways would not
be maintained by the government, but
would be turned over to the state
while the government undertook the
cost of maintenance of the national
system.

How to Treat
A Torpid Liver

The liver is the largest and most Inn
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, 1t causes constipa-
uon, biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysen-
terry. darrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, in
huenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected Immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra bur
den on the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry into the system the impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elm
mate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only third of your trouble. and
that Is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other ordi-
nary laxatives do not go far enough If
you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary
DIR. w. l.. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these important facts, and aft
er much study and research, compounded

medicines combined in one. This was the

FRENCH FLORISTS IN LEAD
HorticuIturists of That Country Ac.
knowIedged to Be the Finest
in the World.

Some of the most wonderful floral
specimens hail from France, where the
gardeners are found at their best.
That country holds first rank among
the countries for the development of
methods for the improvement of seed
tion of seeds, and for the fixation of
new species; before the war France
exported 100000 seedlings per year
The chief reason for this is her
realization that nature cannot be
trusted to mate the best with the
best, but that this must be taken in
hand as much by the florist as by the
animal breeder.
From each sort of seed the horti-
culturiSt chooses for reproduction pur-
poses those free from every blemish.
Now it often requires much time to
fix variety and to recognize in
Seeding the dominant characteristics
which identify this variety. AS soon
as the plants have lowered it is nee
essary to isolate the specimens show
ing the marks of the desired type
This is done by means of light
gauze net covering the flowers in ques-
,tion, and preventing insects and other
agents from carrying out the processes
of natural fertilization. Then the
seeds are gathered, the subjects for
the creation Of the new generation are
carefully selected, and, at length, after
several years, a worthwhile result
will have been achieved

N THE making of dress accessories
= ribbons appear to have eclipsed all
other materials. Everything from
hats to shoes and from indies to
wraps looks to ribbon for adornment
and, besides being used for making
garnitures, it plays a part in the con-
struction of many garments. To begin
at the beginning in ribbon accessories,
Is to begin with sashes. THERE'S a
world of them to consider from the
simplest bands of the narrow fash
ionable two-toned, picot-edged ribbons
that have decked sheer summary
frocks, to gorgeous and intricate af-
fairs in rich MORE or brilliant brocade
that are elaborated into bodices and
draperies. There are sasheS for aft
ernoon and evening gowns and there
are sashes for street gowns, all as diff
ferent in character as the frocks them
selves are. There are sashes that are
prolonged into trains and others that
become draperies for skirts or aspire
into bodices, with the aid of malines
or net or lace. Frocks are really
merely lovely back. grounds for these
ambitious efforts of the accessory de-
signer.
An affair of this kind claims consid-
GRAFTON in the group Of sashes pic
tured. This eXtravagant and ingenious
arrangement consists of an overbodice
and girdle which becomes q ripple of
p1o &c, hh nd h1oc,cnvoc int
loops and four hanging ends at the
back. Two long ends reach the bottom
Of the skirt and are edged with frills
of narrow lace. These and the two
shorter ends are rounded. The filmy
gown serves to set off this elaboration
of the sash into the most important
feature of the costume. 1t would be
effective in any of the lovely colOrs
used for evening dress.
A much simpler and more popular
sash is made Of wide, soft and plain
satin ribbon. 1t is adjusted about the
waistline in a crushed girdle that is
brought twice around and raised at
the left side. 1t is necessary to stay
a girdle OF this kind with wire or
some other support. 1t is finished at
the back with two loops and two ends
and over its fastening at the side,
spray of small roses takes up the color
of the ribbon and repeats it in many
delightful tints.
A description of sashes for evening
frocks might go on indefinitely, there
are so many of them in such varied
arrangements, but their growing i'm
portance in tailored frocks cOmpels
attention For these there are fine
tailored sashes like that pictured in
the group shown here, and others,
less staid. This one is made of black
satin ribbon folded and arranged into
two loops and one Topped end. The
folds are tackled to place. These tail
ored girdles and tailored hat orna-
ments are very interesting and design
ers find it worth while to specialize
in making them.
