 are what we all want, and how to keep
 our little ones in good health is a ques-
 tiOn of the greatest interest to all. Chil- ,dren are peculiarly liable to nervous dis orders; they become nervous. restless, fretful, cross and irritable; their nights sleep is not calm and restful, but they
 toss restlessly from side to side, murmur
 or talk in their sleep, and wake tired and
 unrefreshed in the morning. They have an irregular appetite, grow thin and pale,

 "Ah, genial old MT. --!"
 "Oh, yes," retorted the actor bitter ly, Every genial! How he ever got that reputation is more than know.

 This is the Shakers method of curing indigestion, and it's success is best attest ed by the fact that these people are prac- tica1ly free from what is without doubt the most prevalent of all diseases.

Trombone Cure For Lungs.

ture Of mathematical instruments and in
hailed so much fine brass dust that my
lungs became seriously affected and my
whole system seemed undermined. My
doctor told me that If l didn't quit the
business I'd make a premature trip to the
boneyard and threw in some advice gratis
He said the best thing for me to do was to
take up some kind of brass instrument, a
trombone for instance, and blow it with
great vigor and regularity. 1t would re-
pair my damaged lungs and restore the
organs to their normal condition.

Good Roads win Pay.

Will good roads pay? Yes, and pay
we'll for any community that will build
them. Good streets and roads will at
tract many people to city or town
which has them. Long Island is one of
the most healthful places in this coun-
try, but her roads are inferior to many
in the vicinity of New York, especially
in New Jersey If the townships of this
island would construct excellent mac
adamized roads, they would double their

ical and practical way, need we expect to

stated, there does not appear to my mind
to be any good, valid reason, not even
plausible excuse to base this feeling Of

The accomplishment of the work ordered
by the commission has wrought ire
mendous change in public opinion on
the necessity for good roads. 1t has given
tho people an opportunity of seeing what
they have lost through the prevalence Of
bad roads.
Prior to the beginning of the commits
ton work an amazing amount of apathy
existed among the country people. The
leveling up Of the ruts in the roads with
pillow or shovel once year was all they
deemed necessary, and any greater ex-
penditure Of money or labor than was re-
CURED to do this they considered wasted.
All the improvements mac lie under the
supervision of the commission We're done
by experts in road building Competent
engineers We're employed to see that the
work was done thoroughly. As a matter
of fact, it has been so well done as to
arouse the enthusiasm Of the people of
the state in favor of good roads. The
apathy has all disappeared and instead
of waiting for the next session Of the

to continue the good work the town and

Their flight from flower to flower;
The trees with leaves are grooming
Beneath the winds mighty power.
The sheep in the pasture are grazing
From morn, till the sun il has set

Their tops like silvery net.
The scholars to school are bounding,
With laughter aud jolly good cheer,
Their voices In woodland resouHding,
