SURFACED ROAD IN A FEW
MONTHS FROM NEW ORLEANS
TO THE TEXAS LINE.
OPINION ROAD DEPARTMENT
Surfacing of Stretch Between Race
land and Houma Wilt Make Short
Route Serviceable in All Sorts
of Weather, Says Mr. Buie.
New Orleans.—
If plans of the State Highway De
partment can be carried out, Louisiana
will, within a few months, possess an
unbroken surfaced highway from New
Orleans to the Texas line with the
possible exception of the stretch
across the Sabine swamp, in Calcasieu
parish, and four miles in Jefferson
parish. Duncan Buie, highway .engi
neer, made this statement in a dis
cussion of the present status or good
rip ads work in the state.
This road is the Old Spanish Trail.
It is a matter of common knowledge
what geographical position in ihe
state this line of road occupies, as al
so for the greater part of the state
of completion in which most of the
road stands. But, according to the
highway department head, there is a.
tendency on the part of travelers to
use the circuitous route formerly con
necting, New Orleans with Morgan
City by way of Donaldsonville, rather
than to take advantage of the better
thoroughfare and shorter route that
has practically been completed by the
department with links of parish-built
roads..
Mr. Bole refers to the route, which,
starting from Luling on the Mississip
pi river'In St. Charles parish, crosses
this prish, nd strikes a fairly direct
line in Bayou Lafourche, thence to
Itebodaux, and on to Morgan City. \
phase of the general route, except for
a stretch of a few miles between
Raceland and Houma, which Mr.
Buie designates as most desirable for
travel to and from points in the south
ern parishes, does not contemplate
following Bayou Lafourche to Thibo
daux. Mr. Buie says, however, that a
part of the, stretch from Raceland to
Houma is "green" road and though It
can be safely traveled In good weath
er, at the present time, following three
weeks of rather wet weather, it Is not
entirely satisfactory. It is pointed
out, however, that the Chacahoula
swamp on the circuitous Amte is prac
tically never passable for automo
biles.
"Surfacing of the stretch between
Raceland and Houma will make the
short route serviceable in all condi
tions of weather," said Mr. Buie.
'Some parts of this stretch will prob
ably be surfaced within ninety Hays,
another portion maybe not so soon.
We are dependent entirely upon gov
ernment priorities In the matter of
building material and are handicapped
accordingly."

Texas Lady Thus Describes Con
dition She Was In. Then Tells
How Cardui Relieved Her.
West, Texas—Mrs. J. A. Hunter, of
this place, recently made the following
statement: "I have known of Cardui
for years—when a girl, my mother
gave it to me to stop pains...and it
certainly did me a great deal of good.
After marriage I was in a run-down
state of health and nervous, not at all
like my usual self...so much so that
I had to go to bed. I began taking
Cardui.. .soon I was strong, able to
do my work, even my washing.
I have been well since...and I can
recommend Cardui ahd gladly do so...
Whenever I over-work and feel tired,
draggy, worn-out, I take a few doses
of Cardui. It strengthens me, gives
me an appetite, seems to strengthen
my back, and I soon feel like going
to work again.
I think all women should keep and
use Cardui. It is splendid."
If you are suffering from any of
the symptoms Mrs. Hunter mentions,
try Cardui, the woman's tonic.
In use for over 40 years, Cardui has
helped thousands of women.
Cardui is composed of mild, medic
inal, vegetable ingredients, acknowl
edged by standard medical writers to
be of benefit in many female dis
orders.

Suppose you have a day that has the
whole stage set for tomorrow's worry

What will be the result? You will

Ï0 ALLIES TERMS
ARMISTICE IN FORCE AFTER
ITALIANS CLEAR COUNTRY
OF ENEMY.
GERMANY WITHOUT SUPPORT
Terms Make Is Impossible For Aus
tria To Resume War —Germany
Preparing For An Attack and
Is Fortifying at Home.
Washington.—Official announcement
that the Austrian armistice had been
signed reached the State DepartmenL
In making this known officials gave
no indication of the terms imposed,
nor was there any explanation of
why cessation of hostilities had been
delayed 24 hours or more after the
actual signing of the articles of sur
render. The generally accepted view,
however, seemed to be that it was»
desired to have virtually all Italian
soil freed of enemy troops before the
Italian armies were committed to end
their attacks upon the routed Austrian
forces.
Military men here said the terms
which the Supreme War Council had
prepared would make it impossible for
the Austrians to renew hostilities,
probably including the disarming of
the enemy troops and occupation of
strategic points as well. Some of
these, namely, Trent and Trieste, al
ready have been occupied by Italian
and allied forces.
Free movement of the allied force*
through Austria to attack Germany
from the south should the supreme
war command decide such a stroke
necessary In the future also Is expect
ed to be stipulated. Unofficial reporta
from Vienna said the Germans were
preparing for such an attack by fever
ishly digging trenches on and fortify
ing the Rumanian frontier.
The deflection of Austria leaves Ger
many stripped of its ally and most of
the military men here, both allied and
American, believe that her capitula
tion will follow soon after the terms
from Versailles are submitted.
