Nervous Break-Down
DICE
M RS. ANNIE LANGE, of
R. F. D. 1, Burlington, Tex.,
writes as follows regarding
her experience with Cardui: “Some
time ago I had a nervous break
down of some kind. .. I was very
weak and so nervous. I had faint
ing spells and suffered a great deal,
but more from the weak, trembly,
no-account feeling than anything
else. I knew I needed a tonic, and
needed it badly. I began the use
of Cardui to see if I couldn’t get
some strength, as I knew of other
cases that had been helped by its
use. I soon saw a great improve
ment, so I kept it up. I used seven
bottles of Cardui, and can say the
money was well spent, for I grew
well and strong. Am now able to
do all my housework and a great
deal of work besides.”
If you are weak, run-down,
nervous and suffer from the ail
ments peculiar to women, it is
very likely that Cardui will help
you, in the way it helped Mrs.
Lange and has helped thousands
of others, during the past 40 years.
Ask for, and insist on, Cardui.

IMPROVED
ROADS
IMPROVEMENT OF DIRT ROADS
Time to Find Out in Aiding Construe
tion by Giving Attention to
Neglected Highways.
Improvement of the present net
work of common or dirt roads, aggre
gating many hundred thousand miles,
is urged by M. C. Krarup, a consulting
engineer, as the next step in the bet
ter roads movement.
“According to authoritative Informa
tion,” says Mr. Krarup in Forbes
Magazine, “a national program for
completing In all 180,000 miles of fine
road within 20 years is practically edr-
tain of being carried out. phenomenal
growth of motortruck and omnibus
service has thereby at the same time
been assured, if the business organiza
tion required for the best utilization of
those vehicles keeps pace with the
yearly increase In road facilities. This
much assured, and guaranteeing a fa
vorable development, it must now be
time to llnd out bow much more may
be done if the possibilities of the neg
lected dirt roads are also looked into
systematically by the business mind
and the engineer.
"Common roads, If not all sand, will
support and afford traction for any
load, if surface and subgrade are both
perfectly dry. The wheels need not
lie wider than for similar loads on
highly improved roads. If the road Is
drained and high enough above the
ground water, the required height de
pending on the drainage conditions of
the surrounding country, the subgrade
will always remain dry, and the sur
face, while It will lie wet and perhaps
soft or slippery after rain, will dry
quickly and will not suffer from wash
outs. Thus, thorough draining Is the
first need of a common road. If such
draining tins been effected, all upkeep
cost Is reduced and all subsequent im
provement of the road surface can be
made effective and lasting without re-
survey and regrading, whenever such
Improvement is wanted.”
ROAD DRAGGING RULES
1. Use a light drag, hauled at
an angle to the road so that a
small amount of earth may be
hauled to the center of the road.
2. Drive at a walk and watch
the condition of the road ahead
of the drag so that you may cor
rect the faults.
ii. Always ride the drag, do
not walk.
4. Begin on the outside and
return on the opposite unless
the road is peaked and needs
flattening.
5. Don’t sleep on the drag;
the result will prove your worth.
6. Fill all the perceptible ruts
before they are deepened.
7. Cut the humps to a level
section.
8. If the drag cuts too deep,
shorten the hitch and vice versa.
9. The amount of earth car
ried along by t lie dtyug and the
nicety In cutting and filling are
controlled by the driver.
10. To make a drag cut deep
er the driver should throw ids
weight upon the one foot near
the cutting or forward corner of
tiie drag.
11. The drag will cut less
deeply as the driver’s weight is
shifted toward the rear and op
posite corner of the drag.
12. If the front rail becomes
clogged with weeds or if it Is de
sired to deposit the load in a
hole, the driver should quickly
shift his weight to the farther
corner of the drag.
13. The earth dug up by the
forward cutting corner of Hie
drag should he gradually worked
toward the center of the road
and shifted under the forward
rail.
14. The rear rail should be set
slightly leaning so as to trowel
the surface smoothly.
15. The angle of the drag with
the road and the length of the
hitch are dependent upon local
conditions and materials, but are
quickly noticed by an Intelligent
driver.

Of Big Interest to Farmer.
Motor transport is of particular In
terest to the farmer, since 153,400,000
tons of farm products are transported
over the highways to the railways
annually and additional thousands of
tons are carried on the highways di
rectly to the markets.
Driving Over Dragged Roads.
When the roads are first dragged
after a very muddy spell the wagon
j should drive, if possible, to one side
until the roadway has a chance to
freeze or partially to dry out.

roll roofing, that it exceeds the lifetime ex
pected of it.
People who have it on their old buildings buy ^
it for their new ones; that is why our sales of this
roofing are growing rapidly and steadily.
See Philco Roofing or write for a sample. Make
comparisons with any roofing of equal weight and
price and you will understand why we like to rec
ommend it to those who look to us for advice
about roofing.
