THE 8EMIAVEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. MARCH TO VICTORY Courngo Is a matter of tlio blood. Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. In tho spring Is the best tlmo to tako stock of one's condition. If tho blood Is thin and watery, faco palo or , pimply, generally weak, tired and list less, ono should tako a snrlnr: tonic. Ono that will do tho SDrlnc houso- cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem- eay that was used by everybody nearly SO years ago Is still safe and sano bo- causo It contains no alcohol or narcot la It Is mado up of Blood root. Gold en Seal root, Oregon Orapo root. Queen's root, Stono root, Black Cherry bark extracted with glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was first put out by Dr. Fierce in rcady-to-uso form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If druggists do not keep this in tablet form, send GO cents for a vial to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo. N. Y. Kidney disease carries awny a largo percentago of our people. What is to bo done? Tho answer is ensy. Eat less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water Between meals, and take an uric acid solvent after meals for a while, such as Anurlc (double strength), obtainable at Almost any drug store. It was first discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric ncld as hot water does BUgar. You can obtain a tTlal package by sending ten cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute In Buffalo, N. Y.

FOn COUGHS AND COLDS tke a prompt and effectlre remedy one that acts quickly and contains no opiate. Yon can cet a remedy by asking for PISO'S ROAD BUILDING good roads of the future Steps Should Be Taken Immediately to Provide New Highways and Keep Them In Condition. Whllo wo hnvo n very considerable mileage of so-called good roads In thl country, it Is an undoubted fact tnnl, tho greater portion are not of a clinn nctcr to sustain successfully tho hcavj motor truck traffic that Is now appear Ing on them, and which will certainly increase rapidly in tho near future. To meet tho new conditions steps should bo at once taken to formulate "e-enforccd Concrete Culvert. n systematic plan not only to provide new ronds, ndapted to the no' Irnlllc, but to maintain them In operative cot dltlou. Provision should also be made for the rc-bulldlng of much of the older mileage. What tho naturo of tho con struction of these new rends shall be is a matter for the engineers to solve, but there is no question but that there must be better drainage, better mate rial and very much heavier foundations than have ordinarily prevailed In tho past, especially as with smooth road surface the speed of these trucks Is sure to be greatly Increased. England has had her experience In this matter, for, what with heavy trafllc added to lack of maintenance, on account of war necessities, there Is hnrdly a main road In the country that is not utterly worn out, although they havo been accus tomed to build much moro heavily than we have in the United States. Scientific American. GUIDE FOR ROAD ENGINEERS Office of Public Roads and Rural En gineering Makes Public Desir able Standards. (Prepared by the United States Depart- merit of Agriculture.) In order to assist In bringing nbout a greater uniformity lu tho highways of the country and to aid the better ronds movement in some states, the office of public roads and rural en gineering of tho United States depart ment of agriculture has published standard forms for specifications, standard methods of testing materials, standard forms for reporting test re sults, and standard methods of samp ling mnterlals. Tho publication of the standards was mado desirable by tho necessity for co-operntlvo work by tho office nnd tho states lu the carrying out of tho federal aid conference partici pated In by representatives of the of fice of public roads and rural en gineering nnd of a largo number of tho states. They are published ns de partment bulletin No. of the Unit ed States department of agriculture. MORE GOOD ROADS REQUIRED Necessary to Handfe Commerce on Ac count of Inadequate Railroad Transportation. Itnilroiul transportation Is Inade quate to handle our commerce, nnd good ronds must be constructed rap idly and comprehensively thnt truck lines running on regular schedule with stations nun terminal facilities, may bo established to take care of tho Immense productions of tho land. Pro duction beyond local needs becomes nn economic loos If tho things produced cannot be delivered to the factory or consumer safely nnd profitably. INTERESTED IN GOOD ROADS Mileage of Gravel and Stone Highways Increasing Automobile of Great Assistance. There Is widespread nnd increnslng interest In good roads lu Illinois. Tho mnln trnveled highways especially aro wide, well graded and well dragged. The mileage of gravel and stono ronds Is increasing, and u good deal of hard road of a still moro permnncnt char acter is being built. Tho advent of tho automobile lias done much to mako good roads enthusiasts of farmers, and with their actlvo interest the work of Improvement's progressing rapidly. Increase Land Values. Kvery acre of lnnd lying near good roads is easily .n valuable, available us.sct, while tniul-bnund land Is tin- prolltablu except for the unsociable mnn and the socialite hoot owls and predatory wild animals.

E IN THE . mm LIFE "tintInn n I ttitnn" irinn tin Cla- maixiuy a i.miiy iuva iicie uo- veloped Into a "Money Making Fact" few ycafa ago and not so many at that most farmers were satisfied If they saw ahead of them tho oppor tunity to mako a fair living, a reason able competence in their falling; years, and an assurance of an exlstenco for their families. They worked hard, and tilled their acres with this end in vlow. Honest struggle, earnest ef fort and a truo conception of upright manhood, together with the increas ing knowledge that upon tho fruits of their endeavor rested tho structure of Uio world, whoso pcoplo had to be fed and maintained. Economy In method. Improved conditions of working, have tdded to the farmer's possibilities, and today Instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred Into him, ho has becomo the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has becomo elevated to a position whero his word and his work nro rec ognized as tho factors it was always Intended they should bo. Ho is now tho man of business of, big business. Ho has forced un appreciation of his work, and tho truo valuo has been placed upon It Tho big men of tho country today are tho farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought nro ublo to tell you from their books what it costs to produco a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool All of which is intended to provo that farming is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes, It is an industrial business, with moro certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufac turing enterprise, devoid of any of tho dangers that tho frills of fashion's follies and desires forco upon ordinary pursuits. . Food is something that all must havo and the farmer produces it The cheaper it can bo produced the less will be tho cost to the consumer. And this is ono of the chief thoughts of tho farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been im provements in machinery, changes in methods, scientific discoveries of chem Icals as adapted to agriculture, all of which has lessened cost of production and mado possible the cultivation of Increased acres. In sonio parts these things have brought about moro intcn sifted agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machin ery and demand for greater production havo led another class in search of larger areas, whero their ability may cope with tho growing of a greater number of bushels. Thut Is one of tho reasons why Western Canada lands havo recently como into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty do! tars an acre, ana producing me pro digious crops that are claimed for them, havo attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thou sands have gone out Into the lands in tho Western states. But, as to the Can ada lands, there is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and If they will yield sufficient In ono year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a domand. The country is well settled, and settlement is in creasing. As evidence of tho growth of the three Western Provinces Into whoso territories tho Canadian Govern ment Invites sottlers, recent reports ghow the following Increases from 1018 to 1017 lnpluslve: Value of Field Crops 1913 1017 Manitoba . . .$ C-1.C57.000 $137,470,550 Saskatchewan 120,370,000 340,483,200 Alberta .... 40,712,000 170,005,800 Total $240,045,000 ?C03,024,550 Tho total value of Held crops for 1917 was 5063,024,550, produced on less than 50,000.000 acres ot laud. Further evidence of prosperity nnd progress Is found In the Government estimate of the valuo of farm lands, ind increase in valuo since 1008: 1008 1010 Manitoba 27.80 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18.20 22.18 It will be observed that tho averugo prlco of land has not kept pace with their producing value. It is therefore pointed out that tho opportunities for tho purchase of high-class land is still within the reach of thoso with lim ited means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In tho production of cattle, and when these figures are studied in connection with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded as a grain growing country, giving tho idea that that was what tt was mostly adapted to, it will bo realized that there is there n vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who chooso to take ad vantage' of it. In the three provinces In 1012 there were horses, milch cows, other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil lion hea'd, while In 1017 tho number won seven million. in linji tno cntiro population was 110,512 ; in 1010 1,008,220. One marvels at tho rapid progress of tho United States during tho nlnc teenth century. But America's oppor tunitles for growth at tiro beginning of that century wero nothing compared to the opportunities which are Can ada's at the present time. Tho fact that Canada has as its next door neighbor n nation of over 100,000,- 000 the richest nntion In the world Is bound to have a stimulating effect n its progress. Already one sees ,B'ns of It on every hand. CHANG Canada not only has the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is ulready made available by a network of railways. Cost of production of grain is lower than clsowhero, whllo the prices are on a basis of thoso ' of tho United Stntos. Advertisement. In tho Soup. A rooklo was homo on a furlough. "What do you havo to eat?' in quired his solicitous mother. "Oh, a llttlo of everything," ho re plied nonchalantly. "But I want to know what 'a little of everything' Is," persisted his mother, "Well," answered tho son, a mis chievous cnnllo lighting up his counte nance "There's soup, for Instance" KIDNEY SUFFERERS HAVE FEELING OF SECURITY You naturally feel aecut when you know that the medicine you era about to take is absolutely pure and contains bo harmful or habit producing drugs.
