IMPROVED
ROADS
LARGER REVENUE FOR ROADS
Tendency Toward Devoting Increased
Portion Of Motor Vehicles Tax
to Highways.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
For q numbe- Of years the general
tendency toward devOting an ever in
creaSing portion of the mOtOr-vehicle
revenues to road work under the
control and direct supervision of the
state highway departments has been
very noticeable. Prior to 1912 only a
very small portion Of the m~OtOr-vehicle
registration was devoted to tbs
purpose. In 1920, 76 per cent Of the
revenue, or ST., 531 ,5S2,57, was applied
to road work under the direct super
vision Of the state highway depart
ments, and in addition 500, 465, 57S.O
was applied to road work by counties
or other local supervision, but with
little or no direct supervision from the
state highway departments.
In most states the motOr-vehicle
revenues are devoted to maintenance
and repair Of the state roads or other
improved highways. These states
seem to have solved fairly well the
difficult problem of securing funds
for the maintenance of the more i'm
pOrtant roads under the ever-increasing
traffic requirements. AS both the
traffic and the increase with
the number of cars, there apparently
exists a possibility of so adjusting the
registration rates as to keep pace with
the ~ever-growing maintenance charges.
A number of the states having in
general but a small mileage OF i'm
proved roads have recently adopted
the plan CT capitalizing the motor
vehicle and devoting
these funds to road construction. The
states doing this are Illinois, Maine,
and Wyoming. In them bonds have
been voted or issued for road con-
struction, and the principal, in some
Instances also the interest, is to be
paid entirely from the mOtOr-vehicle
revenue.
At the beginning Of 1921 there were
still seven states In which motor
trucks were registered at the same
rate as passenger cars, but In recent
years there has been q very decided
tendency in most states to increase
the fees required for motor trucks
and above those required for
passenger cars. This increase Is
usually based on the weight Of the
truck and its carrying capacity, it's
Of a combination of these
The most general practice
seems to be toward definitely limiting
the maximum total road weight of the
and basing the registration fee

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

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
che 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
its 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
80 many applicants for insurance are ~
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not ever suspect
that they have the disease. 1t 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. Y, for a
sample b,ttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

CLEAN UP

Most people, we think, associate
women rather than men with the
spring house cleaning. Should this
be so? Should not men regard it as
the grounds about the home are
cleaned up, the rubbish taken from
the cellars, that all Accommodations of
waste which are unsightly or an in
crease to the fire hazard are taken
away? 1t would seem so.
1t is not to be inferred that many
men are not doing that very thing,
and doubtless often regard it as one
of their many responsibilities. These
faithful souls also have recourse to
the paint pot about this season of
the year and no doubt find some COM
pensation for their lame backs in the
improved appearance of things in
general, a delight which the capable
housewife is supposed to experience
in viewing spotless floors and other
evidences of her housewifely skill.
After all this cleaning up is a sort
of mutual job in every household
where conditions permit When all
are working at it, though but a few
minutes at one thing, a click" at an
other, soap and water here and paint
and putty there, they surely are kept
from mischief, enter into a communi-
ty spirit, find pride in their town and
their personal belongings increase
and-why there's not the slightest
doubt about it-are well in the way
to appreciate how much progress
really owes to the annual cleanup
spirit.

ACIDS IN STOMACH

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine-tenths of the cases of stomach
trouble indigestion, sourness, burn

to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach and not as some believe to a
lack of digestive juices. The delicate
stomach lining is irritated, digestion is
delayed and Good sours, causing the
disagreeable symptoms which every
stomach sufferer knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not need
ed in such cases and may do real
harm. Try laying aside ali digestive
aids and instead get from any drug
gist few ounces of Bisurated Mag
nesia and take teaspoonful in u
quarter glass of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stomach
prevents the formation of excess acid
and there is no sourness, gas or pain.

BELFAST
Waldo County Memorial -
Shall Belfast Be Daylight
Saver-Gift to Waldo Coun-
ty General Hospital

Every possible effort is being made
by the Frank d. Hazeltine POST
American Legion, to collect the names
of all Waldo county boys who died
in the service, in this country or in
France or Germany, in order that
they may be placed on the tablet
which will be erected on the new
bridge, commemorative their valor.
Already 10 of the 26 towns have been
heard from, but there still remain the
following which have not responded
to the urgent call: Belmont, Burn
ham, Jackson, Morrill,, Palermo, Troy
and Stockton Springs. Were there
no deaths in the service from these
towns? If there were, their names
should be forwarded at once to Com
mander r. A. Bramhall of the Hazel
tine Post, No. 43. The towns heard
from thus far are: Belfast, 10 names;
Brooks, two; Frankfort, two; Free
dom, one; Islesboro, one; Knox, one;
Liberty. three; Lincolnville, two;
Monroe, seven; Montville, one; North
port, one; Prospect, one; Searsmont,
two; Searsport, three; Swanville,
one; Thorndike, three; Unity, four;
Waldo, two; Winterport, four. Towns
that are not heard from will be as
sumed, after proper time, to have had
no boys who died in service.
The Waldo County General hospital
has received from the Women's Aid,
a set of very fine abdominal surgical
instruments, which are much appre-
ciated.
Edward j. Vose of Freedom was
recently operated upon in the hospi
tai by DR.. Eugene L. Stevens and is
doing well.
All groceries and markets will close
for the day on April 10, Patriots day.
The Supreme Judicial Court which
was to convene on that date will not
legal holiday.
Thomas E. Dinsmore who has been
confined to his home on Church street
for several weeks with the grip, was
able to be at his place of business to-
day for the first time. His many
friends are glad to see him out again.
This was practically his first illness.
There are many who believe that
the only fair way to decide the mat
ter of whether or not Belfast shall
adopt the daylight saving system is
to vote upon it. The matter is to be
decided at the May meeting of the
city government and the officials are
anxious to know what citizens think
of the matter. Tell your alderman or
councilman your views before that
time, whether you want the daylight
system as the majority of New Eng
land and other cities are adopting, or
remain on Standard time, one hour
behind the others.

SALVATION ARMY'S APPEAL

We all know how the fellows who
wore the khaki overseas feel toward
the Salvation Army. To be sure there
was something especially appealing
in the Army's sacrificing work at the
front, whereas the street corner serv-
ice no longer has the fascination of
novelty, neither does the quiet unob-
trusive duties performed by members
of the Army day in and day out, year
in and year out. 1t is noble work,
nevertheless, and it has been quite
plainly demonstrated that the Saliva
ton Army is wonderfully equipped
and manages to do it very effectively
The Salvation Army in this city is
led by earnest, loyal officers. They
desire better facilities for doing their
work. They probably feel their eff
forts deserve such recognition. They
want commodious, though plain
building, for the Army's uses. The
calls on the purses of people are
many. Needs, genuine needs, are
many. Some of the numerous calls,
perhaps, might better wait until a
more opportune time, but if the peo-
pie of Augusta will but give even
modestly of money, remembering that
the Army gives generously of it's
service, the city will see in the near
future Salvation Army home wor-
thy of all concerned
