Good Roads lor Entire County.
In order to gain the benefit of
the advice and experience of road
builders all over the country, the
Southern Appalachaiu Good Roads
Association, the North Carolinu
Good Roads Association, and the
South Carolina Good Roads As
sociation, have become associate
members of the American Associa
tion for Highway Improvement,
the national organization formed
in Washington by leading men in
the country to correlate and harm
onize the effort of all existing or
ganizations working for road im
provement.
Other Southern associations for
the improvement of public roads
have given intimations that they
will join the new association,
Some of these associations have
commented on the fact that there
has been a lack of concentrated es.
fort on the part of road associa
tions in the South and that with
more correlation greater results
will be obtained. From the in
terest taken by the Southern as
sociations in the national move
ment there is every evidence of a
new era of road building through
out the South.
Half a score of other local and
state road improvement associa
tions have also joined the Ameri
can Association for Highway Im
provement and there is reason to
believe that within a few months
the association, which is more or
less a clearing house for all other
existing organizations, will have
relations with every influential
road improvement organization
iu the United States.
Some of the associations which
have already joined the national
body are: The International
League for Highway Improvement
of New York, whose president is
John A. Stewart; The Southern
Appalachian Good Roads Associa
tion, whose seceetary is Dr. Joseph
Hyde Pratt, The North Carolina
Good Roads Association, whose
president iB F. H. Hyatt, of Col
umbia, South Carolina; The Ohio
Good Roads Federation, whose
president is Archibald Husson;
The Arkansas Good Roads and
Drainage Association, whose presi
dent is Judge Joseph Asher; The
Gulf Coast Good Roads Associa
tion, J. H. Hawley secretary; The
New Saute Fe Trail Association,
R. F. Faxton, president, Garden
City, Kansas; Ihe Montana So
ciety of Engineers; and the Capi
tal Highway Association of Pine
hurst, N. C., Leonard Tufts, presi
dent.
While the American Association
for Highway Improvement will not
supplant any of the existing or
ganizations, it w ill be of great use
to all it's associate members. The
association is nationalizing the
movements having in view the im
provement of public roads.
In aid of all such enterprises,
the Washington association will,
as its facilities develope, provide
well-formed and thoroughly cap
able lectures, writers and organ
izers, and will not restrict its ef
fort in this direction to the at
tainment of a salaried Btaff as as
sistants, but is even now obtain
ing the gratuitous aid of men
conspicuous for tneir success in
all walks of life and who are will
ing to aid the national movement
for good roads from the stand
point of broad minded patriotism.
As an example, if any of the or
ganizations which have become
associate members are strugling
with a problem of how best to pro
vide a suitable system of improv
ed roads, the Association will en
deavor to have some representa
tives from some other county that
is successfully solving the 6ame
problem give their aid to the
movement by addressing public
meetings or by writing an ex
planation of their work.
As the state and local associa
tions come into American Associa
tion for Highway Improvement,
they will find that their strength
will be increased one-hundred
fold. The policy of the associa
tion will be to throw its strength
just when and where it is needed.
This will guarantee results.
If any other assurance of suc
cess for the new nationalizing
movement were needed it would
be furnished by the list of officers
of the American Assceiation for
High way Improvement, including
L. \V. Page, Director of the Unit
ed States Office of Public Roads,
as Presid lit; W. C. Browu, Presi
dent of the New York Central, as
Vice-President; Lee McClung,
Treasurer of the United States, as
Treasurer; and Louis Hill, Presi
dent of me Great Northern Rail
way Company, as Chairman of the
Board of Directors. The President
of the United States, William
Howard Taft, has become a regu-i
lar member of the association.
Here is a Remedy that will Cnre Eczema.
“We Prove It.”
Why waste time and money ex-j
perimenting with greasy salves
and lotions, trying t<> drive the ec
zema germ from underneath the
skin, when the Brown-Odom Drug
Store guarantees Zemo, a clean
liquid preparrtion for external use
to rid tho skiu of the germ life
that causes the trouble ? One ap
plication will relieve the itching
and often times one bottle is suffi
cient to cure a minor case of ecze
ma. In over 2,000 towns and cities
in America, the leading druggist
has the agency for Zemo, and he
will tell you of the marvelous cures
made by this clean, simple treat
ment. Zemo is recognized as the
cleanest and most popular treat
ment for eczema, pimples or dand
ruff, and all other forms of skin or
scalp affections whether on infant
or grown person. Will yon try a
bottle on our recommendation?

seventy-seven men have been in

yet tc have been able to find out
who bought them.
Is the Stomach Indlspensfble?
An operation for the removal of
the stomach, in a Chicago hospital
recently, promoted the discussion
among the surgeons whether the
stomach could be removed and the
patient be none the worse for it.

out, the patient had died. It de
monstrated he could not live with
out his stomach.To keep the stom
ach in good condition, and to cure
constipation, indigestion, etc. use

it before buying,send your address

Beauty of Body.
A healthy body is a beautiful
body, and beauty of body is to be
preferred to beauty of face. It is
easy enough for a woman to have
a good complexion if her body is
in good health. To insure good
health it is necessary to keep the
stomach active ana the bowels
open. This can best be done by use
cf Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
the great stomach, liver and bowel
regulator. It is absolutely guar
anteed to do what we claim, and if
you want to try it before buying,
send your address tor free sample
bottle to the Pepsin Syrup Co., 119
Caldwell Bldg., Monticello, 111. It
is sold by Lyons Pharmacy at 50c
and $1 a bottle.
