Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these important facts, and after much study and research, com
pounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver, Kidney and Blood Pow
ders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctor’s favorite pre
scription for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It
is a harmless vegetahle remedy that will not make you sick, and you may eat
anything you like while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 25 cents, under his
personal guarantee that it will give relief, tone up the liver, stimulate the
kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. Keep it in the home
for ready use whenever any member of the family begins to feel “out of sorts.”
It will prove a household friend and a valuable remedy.
Furniture Oil.
To renovate scratched furniture,
mix together in a bottle equal quanti
ties of the best salad oil and vinegar.
Shake vigorously, then it is ready to
use. Take a small pad or soft rag,
dip it into the solution and rub well
Into the wood until all scratches have
disappeared. Then polish with an
other soft rag. You will be delighted
with the result.
FRECKLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of
These Ugly Spots*
There’s no longer the slightest need of
feeling ashamed of your freckles, as Othine
—double strength—is guaranteed to remove
these homely spots.
Simply get an ounco of Othine—double
strength—from your druggist, and apply a
little of it night and morning and you
should soon see that even the worst freckles
have begun to disappear, while the lighter
ones have vanished entirely. It is seldom
that more than one ounce is needed to com
pletely clear the skin and gain a beautiful
clear complexion. >
Be sure to ask for the double strength
Othine, as this is sold under guarantee oi

Honey Yield Higher.
The average yield of surplus honey
In 1919 was 50 pounds to a colony of
honey bees, as estimated by the bureau
of crop estimates, United States de
partment of agriculture. This is con
siderably above the average of 45
pounds in 191 S, and of 41.6 pounds for
the five years, 1913-17. The relative
proportions in which the honey of the
last two years was marketed are in
dicated by 59 for extracted honey, 31
for comb honey, and 10 for bulk honey.
About one-third of the product goes
to “outside” markets.
Youngsters’ Hard Luck.
Charles was watching his grand
mother fry doughnuts, and she, fear
ing he would get burned, warned him
several times to keep away. Finally:
“Charles what will Ido if you don’t
mind me?”
Charles heaved a sigh, doughnuts
smell so good! “Grandmother,” he
said, “big folks have to mind, don’t
they?”
“Certainly, Charles.”
“Well, big folks have to mind just
God. I think it’s pretty hard on us
little ones; we have to mind big folks
and God, too.”

Took Throne From Sister.
It is not generally known that the
king of Spain succeeded not his fa
ther, but his sister, the Infanta Mer-;
cedes, who was, though only six years
old, queen of Spain from the death of
her father. Alfonso XII. to the birth of
the present king. Altogether she
reigned 160 days, probably the short
est reign on record. The Salic law,
which bars females from the accession
to a throne, does not operate in Spain,
and until the sex of Alfonso Nil’s
posthumous child was determined, the
eldest of his two daughters automat
ically succeeded him.
Improved Living Conditions.
Perhaps, as the luxury taxes indi
cate, not far from $8,50,000,000 have
been spent on indulgence since the
armistice; yet there are signs that the
masses are not wasting all their, in
creased income. Living conditions for
the laboring man have improved, and
he will never go back to the conditions
of the past. A Cincinnati company in
the iron trade reports that there is a
demand today for 12 bathtubs where
there was a demand for one ten years
ago. Certainly that is an indication
of better living conditions and a sign
of progress in the forward march of
civilization. —World’s Work.

GOOD HIGHWAYS
ASSIST FARMER
Vast Road-Building Program Now
Under Way Throughout
Whole United States.
POOR ROADS ADD BIG TOLL
Projects Have Been Approved Calling
for Federal Aid to Amount of
$110,840,773 —Important Factor
in Buying and Selling.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The highway is coining Into Its own
in America.
Neglected, abused, undervalued, sub
jected to cheap remedies for decades,
at last the country road is being ac
corded the treatment it deserves. At
a cost of hundreds of millions, the
United States is rapidly overcoming
the economic handicap which highway
neglect lias so long entailed.
This stupendous movement, the scope
of which the public even now does
not fully comprehend, is founded on
sound business considerations. Good
roads pay. If they did not. tin- nation
would not now he constructing and
planning them on an unprecedented
scale. They pay by promoting the so
cial life of the people, by helping re
lieve the congestion that is making
maelstroms of municipalities. But,
more important still, they pay in dol
lars and cents, for poor roads add a
honvv toll to the buying and soiling of

farm products—a toll far in excess of
the expense of adequate Improvement.
Unprecedented Road Program.
Tills'is a lesson cities as well as
rural districts are learning. In the bu
reau of public roads, United States de
partment of agriculture, which admin
isters the federal aid road act, is cen
tered supervision of all highway con
struction which federal funds help car
ry on. At tlm close of iast year, proj
ect statements had been approved call
ing for federal aid to the amount of
$ 110,840,773-—a sum which indicates
iiow fully tlie nation is convinced that
better roads mean better business. The
total federal funds available to aid
tlie states in their road-building pro
grams up to July 1, 1920, will be $169,-
750,000 — and this total is exceeded by
the combined expenditures of stale,
county, and municipalities.
Better Ro?.ds, Better Business.
The business considerations back of
these vast investments are not far to
seek, better roads mean cheaper and
quicker hauling. It has been estimat
ed. for example, that on a level, muddy
earth road the amount which one horse
enn ilniw in on ordinary wagon va

Where Ton-Mile Costs Are Low.
ries from nothing to a maximum of
800 pounds; on a smooth, dry eartli
road, from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds; on
a gravel road !r> bad condition, from
1,000 to 1,500 pounds; on a gravel road
in good condition, about 3,300 pounds;
on a macadam road, from 2,000 to 5.000
pounds; on a brick road, from 5,000 to
B,otHi pounds.
If the speed of travel Is the same
on all of these surfaces, the horse will
haul on a good macadam road from
three to five times as many miles a
day as upon a moderately muddy earth
road. Assnming that one horse is ca
pable of a certain fixed amount a day,
then, with a given load, Iris effective
radius of travel from that point on a
macadam road is from three to five
I times the radius of travel from t’ at
poiDt on a moderately muddy earth
road—and earth roads are moderately
muddy many months in tire year.
Several years ago information se
cured by tlie department of agriculture
from 2.800 correspondents indicated
that the average cost of hauling on an
unimproved country road was 22.7
cents a ton-mile. Today, with price
levels much liigbev, the cost would be
even greater.
While it is difficult to estimate ac
curately what the saving would be if
all highways were Improved in the dis
tricts represented by these replies, a
specific instance makes the benefit
plain. A fanner in a southern slate
bad to haul a ton of barbed wire 23
miles, over unimproved roads. He
found that with a two-horse team his
maximum load was 500 pounds, and
that three days were required to make
one round trip. To haul one ton. there
fore. required 12 days to make one
round trip. Allowing $6 a day for man
and team, the cost was .$72. After the
roads in this region were improved, the
same team could draw a ton to the
load and make one round trip In two
days, at a cost of sl2. The ton-mile,
cost under old conditions was ,$3.18,
and this cost was reduced to 52 cents
by the improved road.
Roads and Wheat Marketing.
Take the saving in the cost of haul
ing wheat as another example. Ts the
construction of narrow, single-track
roads with improved surface will re
duce the hauling cost 5 per cent a lon
mile, and if the average yield of
wheat in the vicinity of these roads is
30 bushels to the acre, there results,
for an average haul of five miles, an
economic advantage of 22.5 cents an
acre or .$36 a quarter section. This is
4 per cent on S9OO. Calculations of
this sort have shown thousands of com
munities the wisdom of borrowing nion-
ey to the extent of $2,006 a square mile
of wheat area, so that roads could be
improved to effect a saving on wheat
hauling equal to that cited above, and,
at tlie same time, effect a correspond
ing saving in each of tlie other crops.
The lowering of distribution costs,
it is now recognized, is one of the most
important problems in reducing living
costs. While business is searching for
more economical methods of handling
goods, tlie farmers have not been neg
lecting other phases of this problem.
On the prices at which lie sells', all
other prices must depend. Good roads,
enabling him to get bis products to
the market at materially reduced cost,
are among tile big factors in more eco
nomical distribution.
RURAL HAULING PROFITABLE
Many Farmers, Whose Trucks Are Not
Filled to Capacity, Help Out
Their Neighbors.
Many of the motortrucks on farms
adjacent to large cities are not loaded
to full capacity on their trips to tlie
citv. Few farm era »mve their busi
ness '•«! arranged as to permit the use
of the truck to its maximum capacity
regularly. Many such farmers, accord
ling'to the United States department
I of agriculture, have gradually begun
i to haul a part or ail of their neigh
bors’ products to market, and in some
cases this practice has led to tile es
tablishment of a regular route. Some
fanners have been enabled to purchase
trucks, because their own business,
coupled with shat of their neighbors',
has been sufficient to warrant such an
investment.
