There is more catarrh in this section OIL

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional treatment. Halls catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure Oh the market. 1t is taken
internally i'll doses from 10 drops to a

cough has appeared, it will prevent the
attack. Many mothers who have croupy
children always keep this remedy at hand

Good Roads.

Good Roads was the subject of the
hosts essay at the October meeting ofthe
Farmers Club, which assembled at Mr..
Robert T. Canerons, near Principle.
The essayist advocated good roads but
did not advance any suggestions how the
boon of good roads might be most readily
and economically obtained. Stone roads
were of course recommended as the sine
qua non, but there are more than simply
broken stones necessary to insure good
roads.
The amount of money expended in the
last fifty years on public roads has been
out of all proportion to the quantity Of
brains that have been mixed with the
business. Had the expenditure of the
two been reversed, the taxpayers would
have more money and better roads
There is no doubt that our roads could
be infinitely improved with much less
expense and labor without turnpiking,
was there reasonable amount of engi-
neering skill used in directing the work.
1t is noticeable that almost every road in
the county has grassy fringe or flange
between the road proper and the side
ditch, which keeps the water in the road
aud out of the ditch. The road member
scoops out the ditch, throws the scrap
ings in the middle of the road and leaves
the flange undisturbed The ditch bottom
is generally fine silt that has been ground
to dust and blown or washed into the
bitches, and as unstable and unfit to be
put back onto the road as quicksand. 1t
forms mud in wet weather and dust i'll
dry seasons, and is the surest method of
making bad roads ever discovered and
practiced
The fundamental principle of a good
road is a high middle, sloping gradually
to the bottom of the bitches In place of
cutting the sides of the road, which is
mostly resorted to when large stroke o.
improvement (?) is to be done, and
shoveling or scraping the loamy soil into
the middle of the roadbed the flange and
high edges should be cut off and thrown
into the side bitches and the solid middle
of the road left uncovered with any
loanly, soft soil. The rains, if allowed to
run from the hard roadbed into the
bitches would soon wash the light soil to
lower levels. leaving the hard surface of
the road, free from mud, free from dust,
firm and dry. A clean, hard surface will
not easily work up into mud, but when
top dressed with loamy soil from the
edges and bottom of the bitches, the
water is held above the hard pan till it
softens and melts into mud under the
wheels. ty'>
If the County Commissioners would
compel the road masters to stop throwing
dirt in the middle of the road and scrape
the edges into the side bitches in place Of
into the middle of the road after a few
treatments the roads would be greatly
improved and money saved. Avoid
breaking the hard surface of the roads
appropriated to wheels and team When
ever possible to avoid it, is the fun
damental principle of keeping a road
firm and in the best possible condition
that dirt road car be kept.

The remedy against trusts is larger

We find that in the past there

We are determined that there

The attention of The Tribune
has been called by residents of
tho north side to the repeated acts
of vandalism that occur in the
neighborhood of Fifth and Sixth
streets on Pixies Peak avenue. 1t
is said that it is customary for
crowds of boys to congregate in
that district of nights, and that
their fayorite amusement is pelt-
ing someone's front doors with
stones. Such is not at all a de-
sirable state of affairs for the ri
dents of that section, and they
feel that owing to the fact that
they are SO far out of town, and
away from the regular rounds of
the night men, they are quite de-

The Denver mint has already
paid out this year for gold over
sixteen million dollars, and there
is every indication that the total

million. But this does not repre-
sent by any means the total gold

the big Guggenheim smelter at
Pueblo, has refinery of its own
in New Jersey, where its bullion
is refined and is exchanged for
currency at New York. The Ar
kansas Valley smelter, at Lead

Kansas City, where its bullion is
reduced and the gold sold in New
York. Colorado's gold output
this year will approach $25, 5,0O0,-

Important Preparations Now Under Way
In the Navy.
The fitting up OF troopships is one
of the most important preparations
under way in the navy department.
The unexpected call to send soldiers
to Santiago found the government
with no suitable transports for troops,
and to this fact was largely due the
horrors of the returning ships loaded
with sick and wounded. The main
tenance of garrisons in distant islands
makes it necessary for the government
in the future to have regularly equip
ped troopships instead OF hastily pick
ing up merchantmen and cattle freight
boats, as early in the war. The plans
already made indicate that the troop
ships will have every reasonable pro-
vision for the health and comfort Of
soldiers at sea. The Mobile, for ex-
ample, will be lighted with electricity.
1t will have large distilling appar-
atus to furnish pure water. There
will be ample refrigerator room to
keep meat and vegetables fresh. The
messroom of the men will be so ar
ranged that the tables can be folded
against the walls and the room used
rs a gymnasium, for which purpose
there will be proper apparatus.
The hunks will he supplied with
mattresses as we'll as blankets and
may be folded against the sides of the
ship, affording roomy promenade.
These quarters will be provided with
bathrooms. The ship will be fitted
with hospital having seyenty-six
cots. The hospital will have COM
plete dispensary, an operating room
and at least two bathrooms. There
will be an open-air promenade for the
men and awnings to protect invalids
while taking an airing. There will
be accommodations for eighty.four
officers and bathroom for about every
twenty of them. Among the vessels
to undergo this transformation are the
Michigan, Mississippi, Manitoba, Mas
sachusetts and Minnewaska. The OBJ
dam, Panama and Roumania may also
be used. 1t is the aim OF the govern
ment to have some OF the finest troop
ships ahoat, and it has excellent boats
among its transports for that purpose.
The. troops who sail in these retitted
ships will have little cause for com
plaint

Noble I.orsIs' Mean Trick.

Lord John Russell used to tell this
story: When they were young men at

fessional luck, they determined to
celebrate the occasion by having a
dinner at the tavern and going to the
play. When it was time to calf, for
the reckoning William Scott dropped
a guinea. He aud his brother searched
for it in vain, and came to the concf,-
sion that it had fallen between the
boards Of the unexpected floor.

them" Betty went down on her
hands and knees and found the one
guinea, which had rolled under the
fender.
''rhat's very good girl. Betty"
said John Scott, pocketing the coin,

The almost marvellous growth of
trolley railroads in this country is
graphically presented in some current
Agures, comparing mileage in this
country with that in countries beyond
the sea- Communities here may be
oontrasted with countries there. For
instance, Allegheny county in Penn
sylvania has 3l4 miles OF electric rail-
ways. Other communities may be
~ well or better supplied, but it is
Instructive to note that Allegheny's
mileage is more than one.fifth of that
Of all the trolleys on the continent of
Europe. 1t is greater than that of
al the electric lines OF France, more
than three times that OF the lines in
England, Scotland aud Wales, and
nearly one-half that of Germany,
which latter country has about one
half Of the entire mileage Of 1922
