WASHINGTON, D. C, June 28.-
Governmental agencies dea’iu.; wvh
highway prcblem s fully recognize the
vital military and economic impor
tance of the country’s roads, accord
ing to a letter from Secretary of Agri
culture Houston to Arthur H.
Fleming, Chief of the State Councils
Section, Council of* National
The secretary, whose department
administers the Federal Aid Road Act,
state also that the government recog
nizes that it is necessary to construct,
reconstruct or maintain roads essen
tial for military and vital economic
purposes and to defer action on roads
not of this class; and that it is de
sirable, wherever possible, to use local
materials for road building and main
tenance in order to relieve railroad
traffic.
Important highways, as described in
the secretary’s letter, include only*
those utilized, or to be utilized, by the
military establishment, those which
carry a considerable volume of mate
rials and supplies essential to war
industries, and those which have a
bearing on the production and distri
bution of food supplies, connecting
population and shipping centers witl
surrounding agriculturel areas.
Attention is called to the formation

“ Who Will Win
TMsßattle?"
Your kidneys are the filters of the body.
If they become' inactive and fail to elim
inate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism of the body
out of order, thus toxic poisons can ac
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
ache, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of l£Kic poisons—clean

Anuric was first discovered by Dr. Pierce,
and has benefited thousands of sufferers
as well as appeased and eliminated the
ravages of the more serious kidney dis
eases. Now procurable at any good drug
store for 60c, or send Dr. V. M. Pierce t

The Austrians first threw against the Allies on the whole front indicated by the black line on
the map. Crossings of the Piave river were made at points indicated by the three lower arrows After a
considerable portion of the Austrian army had crossed the stream, the river rose rapidly, washing away
their pontoon bridges and the Italians counter attacked vigorously, driving the Austrians back across the
river in hasty retreat. The total Austrian losses axe now estimated at 250,000 men, probably 25,000 being
drowned in the attempt to re-<jross the swollen Piave. British forces operated in the region within the

bracket (b). The Italians, however, bore the brunt of the heavy fighting, and to them belongs chief credit
for the victory won.
