Farmers and Good Roads.

Farmers lave c"cr%h in tn" way oi
taxes to pay without undertaking the
building ii elaborate gravel and STONE
roads 1t Is unfair tina, such Il burden
should hc added to their already heaN y
load Whatever may br ind ral,,i IN
the way If constructing permanent
highways should be done at the expense
of those who are to reap its Dement'S.
True it is that the saving i'll the cost OF
hauling crops would be considerable,
and that this saving would result al.
most entirely to the farmer, but that
is no reason for asking him to pay the
cost of building such roads. He is moi
the only one to use them. They serve
to bring city people and city products
into the country as much as they serve
to bring ountry people and country
products into the city. The merchant
who has business with the farmer is as
much benefited through a good road tc
travel over as is the farmer who comes
to town on business of any kind. Neither
is the use roads limited to those lly'
ing in the vicinity, and travellers from
a distance share the benefits resulting
from their Improvement. 1t would be
the height of injustice, therefore, to ask
the farmer alone to stand the cost OF
good roads Motorcycle

COOKING BREAKFAST CEREALS.

They Contain the Essential Elements
for Nourishment of the Body.
Cereals and fruits should form the
base OF break fast foods" writes Mrs. s.
T. Rorer, in her cooking lesson in Ladies'
Home Journal. "They will support mus
cuiar action, preserve the heat OF the
body, and strengths the brain in its
nervous activity. Whole or steel-cut
oats, and whole wheat, from which our
nineteenth century bread should be made,
contain the essential elements for the
perfect nourishment OF the human body.
1.-The great objection to cereal foods is
their difficulty OF digestion, not from any
fault of the foods, but first, from lack of
time in cooking, and second, from lack of
proper masticatiou. Raw starches are in
digestible. The first step then toward
the digestion of starches is over the fire.
Each little cell must be ruptured, and for
this, long and careful cooking is required.
The second step to the diges ion of stare hes

PUBLIC ROADS NEGLECTED.
Railroads Pampered While the Common
Highway Is Left to Itself.

The country road has been much neg
lected. When we began to build rail
roads in this country state and county
taxes were levied that bonuses might
be given to railroad proepectors. Cities
made large appropriations. and, not
content with this, went heavily into
debt to aid in railroad construction.
Congress subsidized riost of our large
railroad systems by large grants of pub
lie lands. Canals have been similarly
encouraged by city, county, state and
nation. 1t is customary to subsidize al
most every new steamboat line. Yet

THE INDICTED LABOR MEN.
Local Unions Are Sfraining Every
Nerve in Their Fight.

Nerve in Their Fight.
During this week the local labor lead
ers expect to complete arrangements for
the defense of the members of organ
lied labor who are indicted for con-
spiracy. All the central bodies viii
meet, and the hope is entertained that
the subcommittee delegated to secure
funds for the defense of the accused
will make final reports.
The organizations affiliated with the
Central Labor Union, it is stated, have
contributed generously to the cause,
and have expressed themselve as will
ing to deplete their treasures still fur
ther in order that the indicted men
shall have the best counsel available.
Many of the unions connected with the
Central Labor Union also affiliate with
the Building Trades Council, and this
body also has promptly come to the
assistance of their brother wage earn
ers.
The men who are indicted for con-
spiracy are members of District Assem-
bly, No. &c, Knights of Labor. This or
ganization, through it's affiliated assem-
blies, is also straining every nerve to see
that its members who are indicted have
proper counsel when they are called 10
trial.
The local Federation of Labor, which
is composed of both Knights Of Labor
and trades unionists, is also doing
what it can to aid the indicted men.
Some time ago the Central Labor
Union sent several thousand circulars
to labor organizations throughout the
country, appealing for assistance in the
defense of the local labor men, and it is
expected that answers of a substantial
sort will be received.

POPULAR DRINKS IN CUBA.
Various Refreshing Revt RACES to Be
Had on the Island


New York, July 17.-Cuba, like the
United States, has great variety of
summer drinks. Most of them are per-
fectly harmless. The weather on the
island being always more or less warm,
some cooling refreshment is deemed
necessary. Foreigners acquire the habit
of taking these drinks, and the taste for
them gradually grows upon them. Now
that we seem the point of more in
innate relations with the Cuban people,
a description of these drinks may prove
interesting.
The commonest drink on the island is
the vino catalan, or wine of the country.
1t is to be found on the table of every
Cuban, whether he be merchant, farmer
or mechanic. 1t is given 20 passengers
on all the steamboats,, and IN the cafes
is used almost invariably in place of
water. 1t is a dark claret colored wine,
brought from Spain in large quantities,
and sold throughout Cuba at cheap rates.
It has great body and is very strong.
The better grades, which are less adul-
terated, are, however, drunk pure. This
wine is used at both breakfast and dim
ner. 1t is considered better than the
French wines, because it is less acid.
This is a necessity in the perpetually
warm climate of Cuba. French wines,
nevertheless are much used and are sold
at reasonable prices.
No matter where you go IN Cuoa,
whether it be on the mountains or in the
valleys. if you come across an inn, you
will always be able to get a bottle OF
English ale which is almost as much
the drink of the island as vino catalan.
In places where it is sometimes difficult
to get anything fit to eat, this ale, OF
good quality, is easily obtainable.
Coffee, of course. is common in Cuba.
1t is drunk in bed the first thing In the
morning. and it is the last thing taken
after dinner With or without milk 1t is
always excellent. Many persons drink
nearly a cupful of boiling milk, into
which only enough coffee mas been poured
to cool ii. There is Cuban saying,
Cafe con leche coffee with milk on an
empty stomach; cafe SOLO Coffee with
out milk after eating.
OF the strictly artificial drinks, pan
ales'' are, perhaps. the most popular.
These are made of the whites of eggs
and of sugar, and are about the size and
! shape of a small ear of corn. They are
| placed in a glass of water one or two
| at time where they gradually dis
! solve They make a delicious, cooling
| and wholesome drink, something like eat

proved by a few drops of lime juice.
