I Until Kruschen Brought Relief “For three years,” writes a woman, “I have been sick in bed about three mopths every winter with npuritis in my hips and* legs. Last winter I started taking Kruschen Salts, and got relief from the first dose. This winter I have not been in bed at all.” — (Mrs,) D. M. Neuritis is a result of impurities in the blood. And it is impure blood, circulating all over the system and setting up- inflammation in the tis­ sues, that causes those excruciating pains. Kruschen Salts can be safely trusted to set the matter right. Be­ cause Kruschen contains just what Nature needs to persuade your in­ ternal organs back into a healthy, normal condition. home CREDITON EAST ofMr. and Mrs. Stuart Kuhn, Baden, spent Sunday with the form­ er’s parents Mr. and Mrs. H.

Since hard surfaced roads have become common throughout the country, the dusty gravel roads are no longer popular ■and there is an increasing demand for improvement or for assumption as Provincial Highways. Since the Province is now paying 100 per cent, of the cost, it is not probable that many will be assumed for some time, and this County still has one of the largest systems in the Province. It would appear urgent, therefore, that study be given to a plan for improv­ ing the surface.of these roads with the objective of making them dust­ less and of preventing unravelling. Two Plans Open Two types of surface are econo­ mically available—low cost bitumin­ ous and stabilized calcium chloride treated. The cost of maintaining these surfaces will not be much more and may be less, than that of ordin­ ary gravel. By adopting a plan of building a certain mileage of these surfaces each year, the prinicpal roads on the system would be. im­ proved within a few years. A begin­ ning has been made and more work should be done this year. One grader truck became useless last year, and will have to be replac­ ed. In doing so, it will be advis­ able to consider the purchase of one capable of operating a snow plow. Six years ago I pointed out the ad­ vantage of snow removal, and the demand for open roads has greatly increased since the Province has been keeping open many miles of highway. Keeping open the Coun­ ty roads would greatly increase the revenue of the Province from gas tax, and it would be in order to pe­ tition the Government for increased assistance on this work. A great deal of snow fence is needed. “The reconstruction of a number of small bridges has been postponed from year to year, but consideration 'for the public safety would indicate tha.t these works should be under­ taken at an early date. There are also several large bridges that may require rebuilding at any time. “The attitude of the Department- toward the addition of County Roads is now more liberal, and it would be reasonable to pass a new by-law incorporating all of the roads al­ ready adopted by the County, and not yet approved by the Province.” I Con- and in Lang The regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid will be held February Sth, at the home of Mrs. Jacob Ratz.
