Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
t IS that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
If 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 Ike
IN 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 "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation I 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
5erifed 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 ful6lls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

GOOD ROADS FOR EVERYBODY
State and Country Highways Built
and Kept Up Will Connect Every
Farm With Market.

For each dollar your state puts up
for good roads, under certain condi-
tions, Uncle Sam gives it another dol
lar. Such government aid for the
current fiscal year ending June 80,
1921, aggregates many millions. But
then it stops, unless congress renews
the grant, says Farmland Home. Ma
ton and state should provide funds
and plans for years aheac, so that
definite policy can be followed.
National trunk line highways built
and maintained by the federal govern
ment, for the heaviest traffic and for
military purposes, may render exist
ing railways and their terminals suffi-
cient for their purpose. State and
country highways, also local roads,
built and kept up by state and local
authority, will connect every farm
with every market.
Federal licenses for motor vehicles
used in interstate traffic based on
weight, load capacity (Which must
not be exceeded), power and speed,
will furnish revenue to maintain the
national highways. Let suitable
part thereof accrue to the states, in
addition to the state registry fee, and
be used to keep up roads that receive
the hardest wear.
The system must be worked out SO
as to build up the rural districts, not
result in more favOrs to cities. Here
is an important duty for our national
agricultural organizations. Above all,
no graft, no favoritism, no politics in
it. Develop waterways and hydro
electricity along with good roads,

Turned to Steam 10 Mads Of Quart
Or Half.0aIIon Can or Bucket
With Nsiled Seams.

With the greatly increasing use OF
storage batteries in automobiles the
demand for pure or distilled water has
increased. It is unnecessary to pur-
chase this water or pay the garage
man to put it in the battery. With
this simple and inexpensive still any
one can distill water for refilling the
batteries as the occasion requires.
AS shown in the illustration accom-
panying this article, the boiler or tank
In which the water is turned to steam,
is made of a quart or half-gallon can
or bucket with rolled seams. Be sure
they are not soldered at the bottom.
The top of the can or bucket is open.
Procure large tin funnel that will
fit over the top Of the can and then
solder firmly and tightly in place as
shown. This completes the boiler.
The condenser consists of three
lengths Of glass tubing each IL inches
in length. These tubes pass through
a larger tube or Z piece Of iron pipe
or brass tube Of sufficient size to ac-
commodate the tubes with some space
between them. Fit large cork into
each end of the large pipe or tube and
pass the three glass tubes through
the corks. Then into each cork fit
short length Of glass tube, one at the
bottom, the other near the top of the
large tube. Connect the free ends OF
the long tubes with rubber tubing so
that they will form one long continu-
GUS tube.
Fill the boiler half full Of clean
water by submerging, and place it
over a gas flame until the water comes
to a boil. Connect the top Of the
funnel with one free end of the glass
tube through the condenser by a

TO PREVENT CREEPING !: RIMS
Excellent Plan 70 Tighten Lugs BY De-
orees Thereby Avoiding Too
Much on One Side.

When the shoulders on the wheel de-
signed to hold the demountable rim be-
come worn, the rim and its tire Will
creep on the wheel. Naturally this

acute angle and II continued long

ton Of the stem and that part Of the
inner tube which surrounds It. In
this connection it is well to call atten-
ton to the neeed for tightening the
rim lugs by degrees. II they are full
ly frightened one after the other and
all the way around the wheel there is
apt to be too much space on one side
of the wheel and too little on the
other. The proper way Is to tighten
one lug and then the one nearly op-
posite it and SO on.

the United States, if not the best,
has consistently followed this practice.
The originally improved roads In Ma
ryland were comparatively inexpen:-
sive, costing only what the taxpayers
were willing to pay for. The first few
years the average cost was less than
$4,000 mile. In some cases the work
entailed considerable grading and
drainage, but in others it amounted
simply to resurfacing the old turn
pixies. which had already been graded
and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, II feet wide and
6 inches thick. Soon the width was
increased to IA feet. Later many were
widened still farther, some very sue
cessfully, by adding concrete shoul-
ders on each side of the existing
macadam. This method of improving
roads makes it possible for traffic TO
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work is going on.
The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction, but
continuous care has been largely re
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patroled and no hole
of any size is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the roads
for the use of the patrol man. From
relatively small investment in al
mittedly low-type road 1t builds up
better one from year to year, always
conserving the bulk of the previous
investment.

 Prosecutor Graham in a statement said he believed Lovett was killed So that other persons could claim large amounts of insurance Virgil Decker carried, after having identified Low ett's body as that of Decker.
 Decker stoutly maintains his inno- cence.
