JOHN J. GRAY.
"The best investment I ever made
in my life was -when I bought Tan
lac, I have not only recovered my
health, but I have also gained twenty-five
pounds in weight and feel
just brimful of new life and energy,"
said John J. Gray, 1330 Hollywood
St., Philadelphia, Pa., a popular
salesman at George's Clothing Store.
"When I began taking Tanlac I
Had been in failing health for some
time as a result of stomach trouble
and indigestion. I missed many
meals rather than to suffer the dis
comfort I knew was to follow if I
ate anything at all. I suffered es
pecially from shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart. Frequent
dizzy spells and headaches added to
my discomfort, and I was so nervous
I got little rest either day of night.

Family Is Made Up of Twins
If a ."twins" club were organised
at Cody, N'cb., where their ranch is,
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wallingford could
claim a triple membership. Three
times the stork has visited the Wal
lingford home and each time the re
sult has been twin. Three nets "f
them! The youngest are 8, and the
eldest 1J. three of them, as the
photograph indicates, are boys and
three are girls. Kaeh set of twins,
too, is evenly divided in the matter
of sex, a boy and a girl in each.

Federal Aid Roads Have
Cost State $4,142,486
(Cantlmird from I'ase On.)
good roads out in the state increae
automobile traffic to Omaha, a cer
tain rought justice appears.
In 1921 the state levied $1,066,870
for good roads, building 400 miles.
This year the appropriation has been
cut to $833,000, with" about 250 miles
to be constructed. George K. John
son, secretary of the department of
public works, estimates that the cost
per cubic yard of earth excavated
and moved not to exceed 500 feet
will be 27 cents, as compared with
36 cents last -car.. If contractors
should attempt to hold up the price,
he is prepared for the state itself
taking the contracts. It is a fact
that, year in and year out, Nebras
ka's roads have been built at less cot
per mile than those of other middle
western states.(
Is County Control Best?
This leads to the question whether
county governments are better able
to build roads than are the state
engineers. An official investigation
of this matter has run up against the
obstacle that few counties have any
complete record of expenditures on
roads. Outside of half a dozen coun
ties, none has an organization cap
able of extensive operations.
The conntv governments used to
collect from $2,000,000 up to double
that amount each year for roads and
bridges.. Up to 1917 it was impos
sible to go out into the country and
tell where a quarter of the money
had been spent. Under the leader
ship of local road overseers efforts
were scattered over a large mileage,
only temporary maintenance being
attempted. The jealousies of the
various townships caused the work
to "be scattered instead of consecutive.
Federal aid work began in 1918
with the construction of 188 miles.
But until 1920 the -counties worked
haphazardly. Then the state en
gineer's office organized 34 grading
outfits around engines that had been
obtained from the War department.
These bladed up, or smoothed 1,500
miles of road that year. Then the
outfits were turned over to coun
ties at less than their market value.
As a result the counties did more ef
fective and permanent road work in
1921 than in all the time that had
gone before. , , .
' Reply Is Emphatic.
Just the other day the question
was put in confidence to a country
editor. Can county officials build
roads better and cheaper than the
state engineers? His reply was em
phatic, that they could not, but that
he did not dare say so for tear ot
running counter to the belief of his
farmer readers. It is a waste of time
to point out that he was mistaken
about the attitude of the farmers, who
are as willing to listen to reason as
any set of men. Undoubtedly the
farmers have seen instances or waste
and of contracts being let and sub
let. They want roads, but at less
expense and this year they are go
ing to have them.
Every one in the country agrees
that we didn't have any roads to
brag of before federal aid began.
Some farmers believe that instead of
cutting through hills the road de
partment should spread out more.
Yet it is plain that in building high
ways the work should be done well
or it- will be wasted. It has been
figured that cutting out one hill on
a ZU-mnc stretcn reduces ine cost oi
hauling over it enough to more than
pay the cost in five years. There is
a saving in power and in avoiding
washouts. J - .
State Roads Better.
Anyone can ride "over Nebraska
and distinguish the roads the state
has built from those made by the
counties. The state highways are
all of standard width, permitting
three vehicles to pass abreast, while
many other roads Are just wide
enough for two. Sometimes the
country roads - have - so much dirt
piled in the center that in rainy
weather travelers are in danger of
slipping off. State roads are design
ed to be passable every, day in the
year. Their ditches are deep and
their drainage is permanent. As they
stand now they are ready' for pav
ing. Two hundred and twenty
miles are graveled in Saunder?, Hall,
Dawson and Buffalo counties. Else
where the low places have been filled
in and graveled, for it is the aim
to make the poorest pieces of roads
as good as the best.
The result is, as motorists know,
that one can go but on any state
road and hold the speedometer at the
legal limit of 35 miles an hour all
day long except, at turns and in
towns. On many country roads
there are bumps and mudholes at
the culverts and hills that make one
slow up and change gears.
State Engineer Johnson, while lay
ing preliminary road plans in 1917,
drove 27,000 miles about Nebraska.
His average speed, carefully com
puted, was 15 miles an. hour. Last
year he drove 28,000 miles at an
average of 32 miles an hour.
United States Has Paid Half.
Speed, of coarse, is not the main
consideration, except as it indicates
the cam with which fanners may go
to and from market. Nor can mucli
be said in praise of the federal road
bill which goes in effect next year,
concentrating efforts on transconti
nental pikes instead of farm-to-markct
roads.
The thing that can not be taken
away is that Nebraska has more than
1.400 miles of smooth dirt highways
built with federal aid. the state put
ting up half the cost, the national
government the rest. Last year J
cents out of the 19 cents received by
the state out of every $1 tax went for
roads, bridges and paving. It is a big
item, one worth watching. The cost
per mile has run $5,160.34. Any sav
ing that can be made in this expense
without impairing the permanence
and efficiency of the work will count
big. But it does seem that loss to
taxpayers, rather, than gain would
result from turning the business of
road building over to the counties.
Colorado Man Kills Self

Long Beach, Cab, March 20. The
body of Ira G. Christcnsen, business
man of Monte Vista, Colo., was
found in a locked closet with a bul

Christiansen ended his life as a re
