ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
First Make Good Roads, Then Keep Them
Smooth with Wide Tires.

The movement in favor of good roads
which has at last really begun to agi
tate rural communities all over the
country involves many contributory is
sues of considerable Importance. says
The Youth's Companion. For instance,
associations which have undertaken the
task of improving the country roads are
generally advising farmers to make use
of broad tires upon their wagon wheels
instead Of the narrow tires which cut
and rut IA soft road so deeply.
1t is not easy to induce the farmers
to follow this advice, because it implies
and requires at the outset the repair
ing of the read. Broad tired wagons
could make llttle or no progress over
some OF the muddy and rough reads
which are too often found not far from
the busiest and most thriving cities,
Marrow wheels cut their way through
more easily, but only at the cost Of ex-
hausting the horses which draw the
wagon, and Of sull further injurlng the
road as a thorouchfare.
If the highway could but be improved
sufficiently to bear the heavy tires, the
wheels would act like "a miniature road
roller and assist in keeping the road in
good condition instead Of tearing it to
pieces.
AS an Immediate result access to mar
kets would be made much more easy,
drauSht animals would gain in ctficien-
cy and length Of service, and it would
be possible to transport larger loads
with greater ease and convenience than
is the case at present.
The farmers and the rural communi-
ties which they control hesitate to take
the first step because 81 the immediate
expense involved. 1t ought not to be
hard to convince so intelligent portion
Of the community that real economy,
both of labor and money, would be
gained by improved roadbeds and the
use of broader tires.

Lift up your heads, ye ostriches!
Peep out with blinking eyes from behind
your tads aud your ffoibIes. Raise your
heads on high where they belong and
then look at life as a whole, with a due
sense OF proportion, impossible before
when you were so near the ground. What
do you learn? That no one cares for you,
SO long as you care only for yourself;
that the love OF your fellows is bought
with price, great price, whose chief
pearl is your own self-forgetiulness; that
the soul self centered has no part in a
civilization that is only made of things
gained by brain and Drawn and then
thrown into the common fund of
humanity.

''For five weeks l lived on cold water,
so to speak," writes man who suffered
terribly from Indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed, wasn't properly
digested and gave him terrible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dys-
peptics don't get enough nourishment.
They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much OF what they eat
turns into poison. II this keeps on there's
no telling phat disease they may get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial as soon as symptoms of
indigestion appear.
1t cures all the evils of Indigestion, and
prevents the evils which indigestion
causes.

INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE
CENTRAL PASSENGER ROADS TO IS
SUE POPULAR FORM OF TICKET.
Receiver for Southern Railway Asked
Santa Fe to Expend s65,OOO On
Topeka ShOps-Line From
Ocean to Ocean,.

Chicago, June 5.-The roads of the Cen
trail Passenger committee have taken action
regarding the issue of an Interchangeable
mileage ticket that will be received with
great pleasure by the travelling men of the
country. They have decided that COM
mencing about July Is, they will issue an in
Interchangeable mileage ticket which will be
good on all the roads in the territory of the
committee. Nearly seventy different lines
nave signed the agreement, and the tickets
will be placed on sale just as soon as the
roads can make their arrangements for au-
diting the tickets. Chairman Donald, of the
Central Passenger committee, will have all
the tickets in his possession and they will
be printed by him and issued 70 the roads
as they call for them. The roads will man
age their own clearing house on the tickets.
and the chairman will have nothing to do
with them directly after they have been
given by him to the roads which are TO ham
die them. There is great satisfaction among
the roads in the Central Passenger commit
tee. which has for nearly two years been
working to secure the adoption OF an inter-
c~hangeable mileage ticket, over the practl-
cally unanimous consent that the roads
nave given 10 the plan. At one time last
week II was reported that no action would
be taken regarding the issue of a ticket, but
the thing is now definitely settled. and the
tickets will be issued and on sale by the
middle OF July at the latest.

TO ASK FOR A RECEIVER.
Bill in United States Court to Put the
Southern Railway Into


Macon, Ga, June ga bill has been pre-
pared for filing in the United States court
TO nut the southern railway in the hands
of a receiver. Rumor had 1t yesterday
that the bill would be filed to-day, but it
is learned this morning that nothing will
be done in the matter to-day though the
bill has been made ready. While the suit
will be directed primarily at the Southern
Railway. it is reported that all other roads
supposed TO be controlled by that corpor-
aticn will be made parties. including the
Georgia Pacific. The Georgia and the
Southwestern will not be included. as they
ara merely leased lines. The petition. II is
sad. will rest mainly on the provision OF
the state constitution, which inhibtts the
purchase or operation of a competing line
by .he owners of another.
