Both Parties Have Endorsed Good Roads

The Democratic party was just as specific in the plank adopted at the San Francisco convention. The plank said in part:
 Improved roads are of vital impor- tance not only to commerce and indus try, but also to agriculture and rural life. We favor continuance of the present federal aid plan under exist ing federal and state agencies, amend ed so as to include as one of the ele- ments in determining the ratio in which the several states shall be en- titled to share in the fund the area of any public lands therein"
 This definite action of both parties. the good roads enthusiasts declare, proves conelusively that motor trans portation has been recognized as a definite factor in the nations economic fabric and that everything will he done to utilize its value to the utmost.
 Good roads construction Is favored, moreover, by both the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees. Each is an ardent good roads booster and believes that highway develop ment is necessary for the economic welfare of the country.
 So here is one thing on which both parties agree.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Otter
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is so, common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do mot even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

THE Joseph A.. Holmes Safety asso- ciation, the hero commission for the mining industry, has announced the awards of gold medals to miners for special deeds of bravery in the saving of human life during the last three years in the United States.

DODSON KILLING
 USE IF CALOMEL
Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts Like Dynamite on Your
 Liver.

Dodson is making a hard fight against calomel in the South. Every druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results, said prominent local druggist. Dod- sons Liver Tone is personally guaran- teed by every druggist. A large bottle costs but few cents, and if it fails tC give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy harmless to both children and adults Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head ache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause incon- vebience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel to- day and t. morrow you will feel weak sick and nauseated. Don't lose days work Take Dodson's Liver Tone in. stead and feel fine, full of vigor and ambition.-Adv.

Nervous Spells
 Near Heart Failure
 Eatonic Stopped It

MT. c. B. Loats, writing from his home at Lay, Md, says, Il had been taking medicine from four specialists, but believe me, friends, one box of eatonic has done me more good than all the remedies I have ever tried. I was in awfully bad shape. About half an hour before meals, I got nerv- ous, trembling and heart pressure so bad I could hardly walk or talk. One, box of eatonic stopped it."
 Eatonic quickly produces these tru- ly marvellous results, because it takes up the poisons and gases and car ries them right out of the body. Of course, when the cause is removed, the sufferer gets well.
 Everyone that wants better health is told to have just a little faith-enough to try one box of eatonic from your own druggist. The cost is a trifle, which he will hand back to you if you are not pleased. Why should you suf- fer another day, when quick, sure re-. lief, is waiting for you? Adv.

TT HERE are some very good stories 4 that never grow old. We listen to them, with variations, from year to year and from generation to genera ton. And so It is with the story of cotton frocks. Sometimes they are simple, oftentimes they are not, espec- ially in this season of much trimmed dresses. Take organdies for example. Some of them are stitched In colors that make q color contrast, some of them are covered with lace frills dyed to match, numbers are befrilled with little fiounces of the same material, others are decorated with satin cut into geometrieal figures and if yarn embroidery and stitching hasn't at- tackled them as yet, 1t Is sure to do SO, for nothing Is immune. But, of all the lovely trimmings that have been inspired by organdy nothing quite equals the blossoms that are made of it.
 Writing of sucn an airy and ire sponsible fabric is likely to make one bit fiighty but there are other cotton frocks, the ginghams and dimities and chambrays, whose role Is not frivo- lous but always interesting. They are

front and trails away, lengthening tu the shoulders at the back.
 At the right of the picture Ii sprightly hat, with flaring brim, adds to it's trim smartness by. means of a face veil having a large mesh of very fine thread and a leaf motif in two places. The mesh is next to invisible. Veils of this kind, drawn over hat, face and hair make finishing touch that is irreproachably neat.
 Large dots arranged in a battlement border on an open mesh veil adorn the last of the patterns pictured. It is placed over the top of a hat with uptufned brim, and covers the face and neck, hanging to the same length all round. The group reveals that veils are draped in various ways and tells but little of their story, but enough to prove it interesting.

the bread and butter dresses that we never tire of. Two out of many sane and attractive models are pictured here.
 Ginghams in the smaller plaids and In checks suited the mood of the seas on better than any others, perhaps because they look so well with or gandy in accessories and decorations. One of these is shown with square neck finished with white organdy frills having picot edges in a color. The skirt is shirred in four rows and where it joins the bodice a little or namenta stitching makes g girdle un- necessary.
 The other dress might be the effort of an expert designer trying to dem onstrate just how plain cotton froek can be, and still be unusual and in- tereSting. This one might be made of unbleached domestic or of cham bray. Occasional splashes of vivid color appear in a scattered leaf motif, cut from heavy cotton and outlined with stitches in black. A girdle of narrow black ribbon makes just the right finish.

New Wage Campaign of Federal Workers

WORKING on tte principle that no w one can do efficient work unless he receives a living wage, officials of the National Federation of Federal Elm ployees has opened nationwide drive for reconsideration of the en- tire civil service and minimum wage of $3 a day. To bring concerted pressure upon congress this fall, an attempt will be made to organize ev- cry federal employee and increase the membership to 100000.
 This action follows meeting here of the executive council, at which plans were made for a campaign to secure better employment conditions for all federal government employees.
 Charles r. Nagl, custodian of the federal building in Chicago and vice president of the federation, has been placed in charge of organizing the central west. In his territory there are already 25 local unions of federal employees affiliated with the national federation,
 "What we want" said Mir. Nagl, "is square deal. We have not had 1t. More than one-half of the men and women I employ receive less than s a day. They have to do outside work 10 make living.

Saw Too Late,

I was invited to dinner by some friends who were light housekeeping Just as dinner was served I was re- lating some past experiences of camp ing, and remarked: we had to use tin knives and forks, and that always spells my appetite.

Alaska Development Is Definite Responsibility
 Meredith s Report Says

WASHINGTON, Dec. P (by Asso- ciated Press) .-"The department Of agriculture, in common with number of other departments, has very defln- ite responsibilities in connection with Alaskan development says Secre- tary of Agriculture Meredith in his annual report Ut Is endeavoring, for example, to increase the production of crops and livestock; it has experts in the field Investigating the possi- bility of building up the reindeer herds into an important source of meat supply; it is giving attention to the perpetuation of the fur industry. But it's chief responsibility at the present time is in connection with na- tional forest administration, for the forests offer the best means with which to develop Alaska.
 "The location of pulp mills in these forests will aid greatly in solving the problem of our future supplies of newsprint. Under regulated use, the Tongass national forest alone can probably produce forever 1,500,OOO tons of newsprint yearly along with an ample supply of timber for local purposes. By far the most valuable timber in Alaska is that which fringes it's western seaboard, the northward extension of the coast forests of 1 Washington and British Columbia. Practically all of this coastal area is , owned by the government. It is un- der national forest administration, and timber from it is already playing an important part in the industrial development of the territory. Every
 sawmill on the coast from Ketchikan
 to Seward obtains it's supply from the
 national forests. These mills furnish nearly all the lumber used in the re. zion, and forest administration is in. timately related to every form of in dustry and to every community in the coast area
 Secretary Meredith feels that the forest service has peculiar responsi- bility in Alaska. and sent his chief forester, Colonel w. B. Greeley, to the territory last summer to gain first
 hand information. The secretary says:
 Because of this relation a peculiar responsibility rests on the forest ser vice in Alaska. To fulfil it under a
