new POLICE CHIEF
FOR MEXlCALI

CALEXICO, Feb. 24-The appoint
ment of Francisco Rivas as chief of
police of Mexicali, was announced this
morning from the office of Gov. Jose
Inocente Lugo. Rivas is jeweler en-
gagged in business in that city and has
had no previous experience in police
work.
Chief Rivas succeeds Zenaido Lianos,
for the past two years chief OF the de-
partment. He is a most popular and
successful officer and under his direct
ion the department was most effici-
ent one. He co-operated in every way
with American officers in police work
and made reputation for himself for
high class and efficient work. The
change in the office is merely political.
One of Chief Rivas' first acts was to
post notices along all the principal
ordering the populace to

AMERICA LEADS IN
HIGHWAY MILEAGE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-If the
total mileage Of federal aid highways
were reduced to single road it would
encircle the earth at the equator and
extend as far as from New York to
San Francisco on the second lap. Fl.
cures compiled by the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads show the total length of
public highways built during the last
five and a half years with the assist
ance of the federal government to he
2S,741 miles. Their cost is approx
mately $500,000,00O, which has been di-
vided equally between the federal gov
ernment and the several states in
which federal aid roads have been CON
structed.
Prior to five years ago the federal
government took 10 part in road con-
struction. Today half of all the public
highways under construction are being
aided financially by the federal gov
ernment and the construction is sab
ject to the inspection and approval of
federal engineers.
In mileage of completed federal aid
roads Texas leads all the states, with
total of 1,116 miles completed and
1881 miles under construction. Min
nesota ranks second, with 1,06G miles
completed and 791 miles under con
struction. Other states with compare
lively large mileage of completed fed
eral highways are Illinois, with 1928
miles; Nebraska, with GS3 miles; Geor
gia, with 633 miles; Wisconsin, with
500 miles; Arkansas with A3S miles;
Iowa, with 422 miles, and North Caro-

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 is
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 those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root 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..
hllmer q Co, B~inghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
