A GOOD INVESTMENTS
Experience Of German Town Shows
That Improved Roads Pay.

That Improved Roads Pay,
B. E. Fernow, in an article in the In.
dependent, to show that permanently
good roads are an important element
in any rational system of forestry, cites
the example of the little city of Goslar.
in the Harz mountains of Germany,
This old town owns forest of $500:
acres, which the citizens treasure as
one of their best investments, because
it not only furnishes them outing
grounds and good sport in the way OF
hunting, but with sure and continu,
ously increasing revenue. Under con-
servative management the annual cut
is 100000 cubic feet Of wood, and the
net income from the sale is, in round
numbers, $4,000 a year, or $3.50 an
acre a year, which is a good return from
soil unfit for agriculture. Formerly
the district was without good roads,
but in 1875 the forest manager per-
suaded the city fathers to appropriate
enough money to construct first-class
road system, which was gradually COM
spleted. In 1891 $25 900. had been Spent
on roads,sand 141 miles Of these roads
were in. good order. The manager kept

feet of wood over the old and over the
new roads. On the old road 4,273 loads
were required of 40 cubic feet each,
and costing $3.50, or amounting in to-
tai to $15,2s2.SO. On the new road the
same quantity was moved in 2,652 loads
of 1T cubic feet each, and the cost, at
the same price a load, was So, 5472O,
which means that the saving nahaulage
alone was $5,735, or Is per cent. of the

THE CONVICT PROBLEM.
It Can Be Solved by Employing Prisoners
in Road Construction.

It Can Be Solved by Employing Prisoners
in Road Construction.
The convict labor question is very
1>notty problem that is still waiting for
solution.
It knocks at the door of nearly every
state capital, during each session of the
legislature, but is usually turned away
with promise OF. more consideration
at some future time.
The good roads problem is also ques,
ton of Importance in the land. In some
localities one of these problems is per-
mitted to solve the other. Two birds
arc killed with one stone.
That the present mode of employing
conyicts is very unsatisfactory is proved
by the unsettled condition of the ques-
ton in nearly every state where it is
done. The following is from a recent
issue of the Dayton CO., Herald:
The Ohio penitentiary seems to suffer
from the general business depression The
annual@repOrt OF the board of managers
shows that in 1893 the surplus of earnings
over expenses was $31 ,079; in 1894, the de-
felt of earnings was s9,137, and in 1895 the
deficit of earnings was $50, 461 %. The board
aScrlbeS several reasons for this change
OF about 1000, among them the passage
OF law requiring the branding of all
prison-made goods, and the passage of the
Ilewellyn law, restricting the number of
laborers engaged in making any one kind
of goods in the penal and reformatory in
StltutiOnS of the state to ten per cent Of
the free labor employed in making like
goods in the state. These have led, as the
board claims, to a decentralization of the
contract system. It recommends the re-
of ia Ia Low ha
ing been declared unconstitutional or if
this cannot be done, then that the limit
fixed by the Llewellyn law be raised to at
least 25 per cent. The situation is one Of
great interest, and will probably lead to
further agitation of the difficult questions
OF employment OF convict labor.
In this connection it may be said that
whether or not the penitentiaries are
self-supporting has nothing to do with
the case.
The more money the convicts make
for the state under the Ohio system, the
more free labor is deprived of. THIRTY
ing penitentiaries are not the most
hopeful of signs.
It would be even better to tax free
labor to support idle convicts than to
have the convicts rob free labor of it's
means of support.
At the present time the work of max
ing magnificent systems of highways
appears to offer the best means of en-
ploying: many of the convicts. They
should not be permitted to compete
with free labor in the manufactures.
Roads should be made better.
When, oh, when, will the immemorial
moss-gatherers known as legislators
awake to the needs Of the hour?-L. A.

Science Helps You to Be Your
Own Doctor.
The Story of a Woman Who Kept Posted
on the Work of Science and Saved
Her Own Life.
From the Era, Brad ford, Pa.

Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science, and too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much OF
our suffering will come to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
OF knowledge for the ere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man a means of keeping well, in the hands
OF the sick means OF recovery. To the
parent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
accept the proffered help?
Mrs. George RoWend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. 276 East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently, a reporter, learning that
Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by
the use OF new medicine, interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
female trouble for many years. She had
been doctored for the ailment for a long
tlme-ln fact, nearly all her life-and had
never received anything more than tempo
rary relief During the last three years her
condition grew worse and was aggravated
by an affection of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found it almost impossible
to perform her household duties.
~ never believed in proprietary medi-
cines," said Mrs. Rowend, ''but one day last
told of the cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and decided to try the medi-
cine. Before had taken the contents of
one box began to feel better. The depress-
ing weakness which had bothered me for so
many years began to disappear, and the ac-
ton of the heart at once became stronger
and more regular
81 took nine boxes of the pills and am
now feeling better than I have for several
years, and I have unbounded faith in the
incidence
Mrs. Rowend is steadily gaining in health
and strength and gives all the credit for her
restoration to health to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for
80 cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.
