NOVEL ROAD BUILDING PLAN
Stretch Of Quarter of Mile Long Built
10 Endure Is to Be De-
stroyed Rapidly.

A road about a quarter Of mile
long, built as enduringly as possible.
to be destroyed as quickly as possible,
Is the odd but practical basis of an
experiment now being conducted at
Pittsburg, CAL, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The road is laid
down In the shape of race track and
is constructed of Ii sections, each one
Of different type Of concrete pave
ment. The problem is to find out
which win last longest. A procession
of some 40 motor trucks, loaned by the
United States government, travels con-
tinuonsly over its surface. There are
tunnels underneath and bitches along
the sides from which observations OF
the effect of traffic on the different
sections are being made. Sections that
wear out first are to be restored and
kept in repair until the stoutest sec
ton, whichever it may prove to be, has
been destroyed. The cost of building
and wearing out the road, which is be-
ing betrayed in part by contributions
of men, machinery and material by the
road building interests, probably will
run into hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. It is hoped, however, that the
practical information thus obtained
will more than Offset its cost.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
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 10
soon realized. 1t 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
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common TO the American people, and the
large majority of these whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Roct is On sale at al drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
