weak kidneys—the remedy recom

Mrs. Mary Brown, 385 S. Jackson
St., Athens, says: “I gave Doans
Kidney Pills to one of my children
who was afflicted with kidney trou

I have been subject to kidney com

machines of various kinds now being
used over the state in the construc
tion of roads.
Armored tractors which withstood
German shot and shell, whfch heard
the siren whistle of shrapnel in
France and Flanders, are now being
used by the State Highway Depart
ment in its maintenance work, hear
ing nothing now save the cheerful
call of the bobolink along the quiet
roads, and seeing only the simple and
normal pursuits of the countryside.
Escort wagons which followed the
advance of armies along shell-torn
roads are now transporting material
for the construction of highways for
the state. The barbed wire, used for
stopping the rush on trenches, is now
used to construct right of way fences.
The posts, on which the barbed wire
was* stretched, have been made into
sign posts to dirpet the traveler
through a land of peace and content
ment.
And T. N. T., which blew up w-hole
battalions at a time on the other
side a few short years ago, is now
employed by the State Highway De
partment in quarrying and blasting.
Other war material now being used
in the building of roads include?
trucks and Ford cars, which.-*have
their uses in the progressive work
done by the highway department. k
