CREAM CLEARS A
STUFFED-UP HEAD
Instantly opens Every Air
Passage-Clears Throat Too.

If your nostrilS are cloggcd and your
head is stuffed because of nasty catarrh
or a cold, apply little pure, anhseptic
cream into your nostrils. 1t penetratcs
through every air passage, soothing and
healing swollen, infamed membranes

Try this. Get a small bottle of Ely'S
Cream Balm at any drug store. Your
c1ogged nostrils open right up; your
head is clear; no more hawking or
snuffing. Count fifty. All the stuffl-
ness, dryness, struggling for breath is
gone. You feel fine.

Passing of Macadamized

By BILL PRICE.

More than one hundred years ago John Loudon Nc
Adam, Scotch engineer made surveyor general Of
Highways in the Bristol section of England He the
builder of the first roadways in history made of crushed
sone without admxture of sand clay other material
He effected in this instance alone salutary revolution
in road making and received from the British
large grants of money
From his discovery came the name of "macadamized''
roadways, and there great development of these
throughout the world until within the last few years The
coming of the heavy motor truck threatens to wipe out
macadam for roadways that Travelled by heavy trucks
The engineer department of the District nearly
two ago turned toward cement best suited to the
traffic needs of large city like Washington and will put
down macadam unless side roads where traffic
light The existing macadam roadways will be resuraced
when needed and made to last long possible but
the outlook that unusual amount of money will have
to be expended in the next few years for cement asphalt
surfacing to replace macadam.
Highway engineers throughout the country abandon
ing macadam When the crushed stones put heavier
basis than in the past the macadam roadway will stand
the strain of heavy traffic. but it's cost is beyond that of
cement which has demonstrated its effectiveness weight
carrier
When John McAdam flourished he probably thought
this roadway material would exist for all time Another
hundred put cement out of business best suited
for roadway construction

Quarrelsome people always lose their bat

DOMESTIC NEEDS.

At the extraordinary
clinic of Congress, which
popped open at high noon
today. the country's leading
legal alienists will focus
their noodles on the affairs
of this country.
This will be quite a
change in procedure for
even consultation made
up OF solid Republican
physicians. Europe. Asia,
Rfrica, Yapp, and Fiji have
been grabbing most of the
brain power of Congress
since the world has been
at war among itself.
Domestic needs will be
the style in resolutions,
bills, amendments, and
riders this spring on Cap
itol Hill. Any Senator
caught with a set of Euro
pean spats adorning each
dog like a fancy vest will
be impeached. fined. i'm
prisoned, or both.
This Is labeled an ex-
traordinary seance because
there are hardly any Dem
ocrats invited. The Cops
had been holding the sack
for the Demmies so long
that the former became as
stoop-shouldered as Jack
the Giant Killer looking for
pretty seashells.
Local legislation for sub
urban consumption will
therefore, be the menu in
the sixty-seventh stanza of
the Congressional operetta.
Science and inventive
genius have failed to keep
up with modern require
ments. Everybody knows
that necessity is the
mother-in-law OF invention.
Right now the country is
suffering for a patented
steam presser that will
crease a pair of pants with
out removing them from
the owners immediate per-
son.
II Luther Burbank doesn't
propose a bill that will
force the Florida citrus
dukes to grow a squirtless
grape fruit, then American
breakfast tables will be a
veritable battle-ground of
one-eyed scoffers.
Fabric building brick will
no longer stand the wear
and tear of the 1921-model
husband and wife. A good,
substantial cord cobble-
stone, with resilient rims,
is what the country needs
to get back to normalcy.
Tomorrow Mr.. Harding
will go to the front himself.
1t isn't usual for general
actually to lead his troops
in a skirmish, but in a bat
tie of wits and half-wits
there must be some sober
mind present to retain de-
corum.
After a month of loiter-
ing, it's going to be a ter
rible ordeal for the children
to go back to school, and
the tip Is out that Harding
