FOUR WEEKS
IN HOSPITAL
No Relief—Mr#. Brown Fin-
ally Cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham 's Vegetable
Compound.
Cleveland, Ohio. —"For years I suf-
fered eo sometimes it seemed as though
|l 1. 111s 11......,..,.. . 1111 could not stand
II any "onger. It
I was all in my lower
I I organs. At times I
could hardly walk,
I' wl i j for if I stepped on a
I HK^lfrn little stone I would
almost faint. One
j IIJBhF^HPM ^ I did faint and
husband was
sent for and the doc-
tor came. I was ta-
ken ft the hospital
and stayed four weeks but when I came
home I would faint just the same and
had the same pains.
A friend who is a nurse asked me to
try Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com-
pound. I began taking it that very day
for I was suffering a great deal. It has
already done me more good than the
hospital. To anyone who is suffering
as I was my advice is to stop in the firs;
drug-store and get a bottle of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before
you go home." — Mrs. W. C. BROWN,

Dangers of Watered Coffee
Wutered stock, watered milk, and
watered coffee—the United States Gov-
ernment Is carrying on a crusade to
eliminate all three.
Everyone knows about watered
stock. Everyone has seen "blue milk."
the combined efforts of a cow and the
old pump. But not everyone Is on his
guard against "watered coffee."
That the United States Government
realizes the danger of watered coffee
Is shown by the specifications for the
United States Army supplies. These
specifications say plainly:
"Coffee: roasts must he 'dry'
roasts, no water being permitted
before, during or after the process
of roasting."
Water In coffee Is n piece of dishon-
esty practiced by unscrupulous coffee
roasters. They turn the hose on the
coffee while It Is being roasted, so
that It won't lose weight, as coffee
will, when properly roasted. In roast-
ing. coffee should lose about 16% of
Its weight. If It Is watered It loses
but 4%. The difference, of course. Is
water, for which you pay coffee value.
This Is adulteration and nothing
more. The water-logged coffee Is rank
and unhealthy. Of course. It Is not
honest to charge for coffee, and sell
coffee beans soaked In water.
A lot of watered coffee is being sold
no doubt right in this town. It is more
often met with in the lower priced
grndes of bulk coffee.
As coffee is such an Important bev-
erage, pure food authorities are ad-
vising housewives to use the greatest
care in selecting their coffee. The pure
food experts say that the best way to
avoid watered coffee is to buy some
reliable packaged brand, roasted by a
reputable coffee roaster as Arbueklo
Brothers of New York.—Adv.

"Oiled roads do not require so much
draKpintf as ordinary earth roads,"
said Professor Gearhart. "They shed
water better ond do not become so
dusty. Although oiled roads are not j
so satisfactory as gravel roads, they I
may be a help in developing good
roads sentiment."

He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, Instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one's feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.—adv.

the road Is hard, smooth, dustless, and
without any ruts or pockets, according
to Professor Gearhart.
Where there is n pocket in the road,
water will gather after every storm.
Oil works better on sandy soils than
on clay or heavy loams. Loam soils
may be helped by sprinkling a light
coating of sand over the oiled surface.
After the first year it is better to ap-
ply from one-quarter to one-third of a
gallon of oil to each square yard of
surface in the spring and the same
*uiount again In the fall.
! For laying the dust on city streets,
I oiling may be us economical and more
f satisfactory than water, particularly
if the soil Is andy. When city streets
\ are oiled It Is best to cover the cross
walks with dust or dirt so that they
j will not be covered with oil. When
the oiling process is finished the dust
| or dirt may be swept away. Surface
j oiled streets are not satisfactory if the
soil is clay or loam, for the oily dust
! blows about and is carried into build-
ings and upon walks.
moisture for road making
There Is Certain Water Content at
Which Soil Packs Hard—Remove
All Grass and Weeds.
j Itoad making is largely a matter of
j moisture control. When soil contains
j too much water it becomes mud, and
| when It has too little moisture it be-
' comes dust. But there is n certain
moisture content at which soil pucks
hard. And this is just about the
amount of moisture that a soil will
hold readily. This usually can be
maintained in a road that has good
i drainage, that is well crowned so the
j water will run tiff when it rains antl
j that Is free f/om grass and weeds.
These if allowed to grow, will soon
1 draw the moisture out of the soil and
i so remove the binding material.
