UNITED DOCTORS SPECIALIST WILL AGAIN BE AT THE Makeever Hotel Saturday, July 1, 1916 ONE DAY ONLY Hours: 10 A. M. to 8 I*. M. Remarkable Success of These Talented Physicians in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases Offer Their Services Free of Charge The United Doctors, licensed by the state of Indiana for the treatment of deformities and all nervous and chronic diseases of men, women and children, offer to all who call on this trip, Consultation, examination, advice free, making no charge whatever, except the actual cost of treatment. All that is asked in rei turn tor these valuable services is j that every person treated will state the result obtained to their friends and thus prove to the sick and afflicted in every city and locality, that at last treatments have been discovered that are reasonably sure and certain in their effect. These doctors are among Atneri- : C;1 s leading stomach and nerve specialists and are experts in the treatI hient or chronic diseases and so j great and wonderful have been their I results that in many cases it is hard to- find the dividing line between skill and miracle. V Diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart, spleen, kidneys or bladder, rheumatism, sciatica diabetes, bed-wet-ting, tape worm, leg ulcers, weak lungs and those: afflicted with longstanding deep seated, chronic diseases that have baffled the skill of the family physicians, should not fail to call. Deafness often has been cured in 00 days. According to their system no more operations for appendicitis, gall stones, tumors, goiter, piles, etc., as these diseases are treated without ; operation or hypodermic injection. They were among the first in America to earn the name of “bloodless surgeons,” by doing away with the . knife with blood and with all pain in the successful treatment of these dangerous diseases. If you have kidney or bladder troubles bring a two-ounce bottle of your urine for chemical analysis and microscopic examination. No matter what your ailment may be, ho matter what others may have told you, no matter what experience you may have had with other physicians, it will be to your advantage to see them at once. Have it forever settled in your mind. If your case is incurable they will give you such advice as may relieve and stay the disease. Do not put off this duty you owe yourself or friends or relatives who are suffering because of your sickness, as a visit at this time may help you. Worn-out and run-down men or women, no matter what your ailment, consult them. It costs you nothing, w Remember, this free offer is for this visit only. Married ladies come with their husbands and minors with their parents. Laboratories, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

you must maintain them, else they will speedily become bad roads and all the money and effort and engineering skill expended in their construction will be wasted; worse than wasted, because the man who has a good thing and doesn’t know it sins against the light. In this world no sooner is a thing done than it has to be done over again. Good roads begin to wear out as soon as they are built, good clothes begin to wear out as soon as they are worn; no sooner is a man elected to congress, if he be a provident and forwardlooking man and likes this sort of work, than he must begin to build his fences for the next election two years hence. Everything wears out, even “favorite sons”-—moth and rust corrupt and in some parts of the country thieves break through and steal — and there is nothing that wears out faster than a public road which has been btiilded at cost and is left to take care of itself. It won’t do it. If it is used by the people for whose benefit it was constructed it will wear away; if it is not used fey anybody, the elements —?, ind, rain, storm and sunshine—will destroy it in time. It was not until hillside ditching, or terracing as it is more politely and scientifically called, was discovered as a cure for erosion on many of the most valuable farms in the South that there was anything like successful Work on these neglected farms.

It xvas not until the office of road inquiry in the department of agriculture at Washington was established in 1893 that even Uncle Sam, with all his steady'habits, began to take a practical interest in the public roads of the country. How much was lost by his improvidence it is impossible to estimate; hut he lias learned his lesson and has committed himself definitely to the policy of building serviceable highways for the use of the people under condi-

lions and supervision which will assure litness for service. With that frugal wisdom which has ever distinguished his adventures in really useful enterprises, however, Uncle Sam does not intend to do a blessed tiling without the co-operation of the states. He stands ready to take $7'.,000,000 from the general fund in the 1 next five years wherewith to build good roads in the states if the states will put up the same amount for the building of good roads within their owi# borders during the same period. it is a case of “matching” highway money with the states. The states that will not play the game will not “share in the pot,” whatever that is. But neither Uncle Sam nor any of his relatives would be justified in any such undertaking if there were not ample security the law to maintain the work after it has been done. This is why the distribution and expenditure of the money appropriated by congress for good roads have been placed in the hands of the secretary of agriculture and why he will depend in large measure upon the efficiency and experience of the United States office of good roads and rural engineering, which has evoluted out of the old office of road inquiry, in justifying the federal participation in the construction of good roads. The office of public roads is under the direction of Logan Waller Page, who has devoted his life to this work and who has been described in the course of a recent discussion in the senate as “the ablest road engineer in the world.” With his corps of competent engineers, his accurate knowledge of the conditions and necessities of traffic in the coun-

fry at Jarre, he will he the secretary > riftht bower, so to say, in this effort to eucre the elements and the politician?. ■ ( • nstruction and maintenance—these are the twin elements in. any J.ra tical good roads undertaking; it is worse than folly to batid if the building is not to he maintained. How this can Le done ip the most effective and j raetical way, how there can be continuous maintenance oi 'he public reals is one of the problems now receiving the caretul study of the office of public roads, the experimental road work done under its direction 21 Washington end elsewhere affording the o; oporto ty of judging the comparativet enemy cf several -types of road .. , reference to the traffic handled. F‘ r the last six years the office of good roads has been conducting investigations to .determine the economic results of road improvement on the prosperity and development of the country. it has also been studying the methods of management, construction and maintenance 0. roads under local control; bet it has found everywhere and in all conditions that there mas: be a system of maintenance for all roads if the work that is done in building is to have anything like permanent value. There is a very definite and distinct difference between maintenance and repair; filling up a few holes in an improved highway is rc retiring: keeping the whole road in what may be called in the language of the day a state of preparedness" by constant vigilehce and intelligent service is maintenance. “The best system of maintenance for all roads is that which provides for the per- 1 manent and sometimes continuous employment of skilled laborers who have charge of particular sections of road, or who may be assigned to any part of the country or other road unit where there is work most needed.”

The continuous maintenance system has been adopted in this country only to a limited extent, but wherever it has been adopted it has demonstrated its high economic value. It. might not be possible to maintain such a system in all parts of the country because of sparse population and limited resources; but, as the year book of the American Highway association says on this subject, "It would be difficult to find a county which is so poor that it could not afford to employ continuously eight or lfi laborers and three or four teams to maintain and repair its principle roads." That would be far cheaper than the system and it would be vastly more practical than the hit-or-miss policy which has distinguished the work in the past.

The largest proportion cf the public roads in the United States are the earth roads and they are the most neglected. Inadequately drainta, hadly placed oftentimes and gener-1 ally leu to take care of themselves | after they have been constructed, they are a constant and increasing expense to the people they are designed to serve. In so-called repairs, in their unfitness for tragic or travel, in the ruinous strain upon the wagons and harness and horses of the farmers attempting to use them and in many other ways. These roads can not be kept up without intelli- ! gent attention. Mud added to mud in the low places will not make a road solid, filling the hollows with; fence rails and convenient stone? and brushwood from the adjacent woods will not make them good for traffic or • comfortable for travel. Dragging these roads at the wrong ' time of weather or season will not ! keep them in u sable condition. There must be the intelligence of engineer and the labor of wisely ordered working forces to make them suitas ble for service, and this end can nor be obtained without a definite policy of maintenance. lh the good roads bill passed by congress, the secretary of agriculture is required to insist; upon maintenance by the states or j other political unit as a condition to federal aid in the building of roads, and there is not the least doubt that he will insist upon compliance with ,

Pains and Aches Caused by Kidneys Many women attribute ailments and suffering' to some disease peculiar to their sex. when often the pain and misery is caused by weak or deranged kidneys. Housework, office work or factory work may start the trouble, and dizzy spells, puffiness und£r eyes, sore muscles, still joints, discolored or scanty urine, sleep disturbing bladder ailments, rheumatism or diabetes may result.
