Every woman who haa reason to believe
that backache, headache, unnatural pains,
low spirits, sleepless nights, irregularities
or a catarrhal condition is caused by a
derangement of the womanly functions,
owes it to herself and dear ones to speed-
ily overcome the trouble before a general
breakdown causes permanent prostration.

non-alcoholic remedy that any ailing wom-
an can aafely take, because it is prepared
from roots and herba containing tonic
properties of the most pronounced char-
acter. It is not a secret remedy, because

RAILROADS AND GOOD ROADS
8olutlon of Future Transportation
Problems Seen In Hard-Surfaced
Highways of Country.
Any Btudent of the railroad situation
must reach the conclusion thnt rail-
road operation In America has reached
the height of its efficiency and hereaf-
ter it will remaiu stationary or de-
crease.
It is always possible that some rev-
olutionary process will be discovered,
but the long years without marked Im-
provement of process indicate that
railroad mechanics have about reached
their maximum while bureaucratic and
political control now assured will be
as deadening to all mechanical Im-
provement as they will be to effective
management.
Progress In transportation, there-
fore, must be In other lines. Naviga-
tion has been heralded for some years
as a solutlbn, but In spite of heavy
government assistance, water traffic,
even on the Great Lakes, has steadily
declined. The remedy does not appear
to rest there, at least for the present.
There remain the highroads. In
them salvation lies, says Chicago Trib-
une. The war, which proved the utter
Incapacity of the French government-
owned railways to rise to the emer-
gency, established the motor truck In
its full majesty. What the French
railroads could not do the motor
trucks on fine French highways did.
What the highroads are in France
they must be made in America.
Fortunately, we have an excellent
little beginning in the middle West.
The principle of hard roads has been
accepted and timid beginnings have
been made in a number of states, chief
among them Illinois. Let us under-
stand, and Immediately, that what has
been done and what has been legis-
lated for is'merely the tbln entering
wedge of our highroad program. The
narrow ribbons of concrete roads laid
out by legislation will no more carry
the forthcoming auto truck traffic than
the old narrow gauge single track
railroads were able to carry the rail-
road traffic which they caused to de-
velop.
It is fortunate that we have many
•gencies building roads. The nation
will do something for the most back-
ward. The states, however, should

treble or quadruple all national allow-
ances. In the beginning, and until the
principles of highroad traffic are gen-
erally understood, It will probably be
necessary for counties and even cities
to provide the wide thoroughfares nec-
essary at the points where traffic cen-
ters.
To Illustrate, the 18-foot roads which
are perhaps adequate a hundred miles
In the country are even now more con-
gested ten miles out from the city

BILLION DOLLARS FOR ROADS
Immense Amount to Be Spent in 1920

HINDER SOCIAL INTERCOURSE
Suspension of Travel Caused by Poor
Condition of Highways In Rural
Communities.
Bad roads are often a handicap to
