Volumes have been written about the
ruts in country roads. Does any one
seriously expect a driver to be public
spirited enough, at the expense of his
horses, to drive over soft or rough
ground when vehicles which have pre-
coded him have partially hardened a
narrow space? He naturally makes his
wheels track where it is easiest pulling
until the ''rut" gets so deep that he
must travel elsewhere. The only practi-
cal way to avoid ruts is to have the
whole surface OF the road hard, SO that
it will make no difference where the

A tired stomach is very much like
sprained ankle. If you suffer from any
of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your
stomach is tired. 1t needs crutch. We
must relieve it of all work for time, or
until it is restored to its natural strength
To do this successfully, we must use
food which is already digested outside of
the body, and which will aid the diges-
tion of other foods that may be taken
with it. Such a product is the Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
The Shakers have utilized the digestive
principles present in plants for the man
ufacture of this article, and its success
has been truly phenomenal. You can
try it for the nominal sum of 10 cents, as

Magazine and Book Notes.

A series of articles of unique interest
has been undertaken by The Ladies
Home Journal. It is to be called Great
Personal EVENTS" and will sketch the
most wonderful scenes of popular en-
thusasm and thrilling historic interest
which have occurred in America during
the past fifty years. Each one will be
graphically detailed by an eyewitness,
while leading artists have been employed
to portray the events in pictures made
from old illustrative material.
1t IS said that the expense of making the
Youth s Companion art calendar for 1897
was so great that had it been published
in the usual quantity it could not be sold
for less than one dollar. Four beautiful
female figures are reproduced on four
folding lagos. Each figure is litho-
graphed III twelve colors, being true re-
production of the original water color
painting, which was selected because of
lis excellence of design and charm of
color and tone. The size of each of the
four folding pages is 10H by 6 inches. 1t
is by far the best piece OF color work the
Companion has ever offered. Both as a
calendar and as d gem Of the itho-
srapher's art, it is 50 attractive that it
becomes a valuable addition o the mantel
or centre-t bic of any room. 1t is given
free to all new subscribers sending S1.15

BLESSINGS OF GOOD ROADS.
The Farmer ard His Family Would Be
Benefited In Many Ways.

What magnificent development
would result if the counties would unite
and say one to the other, If you build a
read to my boundary, III build one to
yours, says the Jacksonville Times I'm
ion. The state would soon be grldironed
with roads, and every road would be
lined with farms, shade trees and hedge
rows. The farmer could got his produce
to market cheaper and his children to
school easier, and the education thus
obtained would find its way back into
the soil and out of the soil again in
more plenteous crops, for education is
as essential to the farmer as to him who
would attain success in any vocation.
Ideal BODYBUILDING would be sure to
bring other blessings. When transpor-
tation is made good, IL is easy to induce
the government to put into effect its
much thought of extension of the postal
delivery system to the country. This
would enable the farmer to keep in
touch with the world, to get his daily
paper and to apply to his business what
he reads us constantly as the man of the
city applies it to his.
