AProverb Calendar for 1900.

Each year when we receive the Hood S
Sarsaparilla Calendar We wonder how it
is possible to originate such clever de-
signs. The "Proverb Calendar itself is
suspended in front of two little tots, one
robed in delicate pink and the other In
blue. On the reverse side there are the
usual astronomical calculations and other
facts. The calendar is made to stand
alone on desk or table, or it may be sus.
pended on the wall. You should be
sure to get one of these calendars from
your druggist, or one will be mailed tC

sort OF thumb arrangement-fixcd farther
back, turns the dust over the oiled fur
row, and the sur face Is then left to alb
serb, a process which requires about an
hour to feet A roller is then drawn
over the oiled width, and the first treat
ment is completed.
Contracts for the three treatments are
taken at from S205 to $27O per mile, ac-
cOrding to the price of oil aud the char
acter of the surface to be worked. But
even at this rate the cost is not over six
cent? per running foot of the eighteen
feet width, and of this sum, under the
general regulations, the county pays
onethird and the property owners on the
road on each side pay each one. third
Under this arrangement it would cost an
owner 81 to put in condition the rosd in
front of 100 feet of land, and this is about
what it now costs him to have the road
sprinkled with water throughout the dry
season.
One saturation will keep the road In
repair during years succeeding the first
three treatments, and this application
requires but twenty barrels to the mile.
Its cost to the ad acent owners of land is
but forty cents per 100 feet of read, and
there is maintained most excellent
driveway.
One immediate result of the discovery
has been to raise the price of oil. Hap
PLY a vast oil district is Immediately in
the middle of the region in which the
oiled roads are being spread, and oil
the rein Is the most accessible of COM
modities. Nevertheless, the haste O.
many counties to make contracts for the
future delivery of oil has driven up the
price of the material ten and even twenty
cents per barrel. This has increased the
cost of the work laid out by the town OF
Redlands to from S20l 10 per mile tc
$780, per mile, and this Notwithstanding
the town has purchased its own sprink
ling plant, and is doing the work itself.
The idea Of oilng roads is said to have
originated in the oil regions of Pennsyl
vania, and to have been due to the &C
cldental saturation of piece of roadway
with the fluid. If this Is true. it is II
California that the idea has received it.
