Fuel for Force

Your body must have
force, nervous force, mus
cular force, digestive force.
Fat is the fuel used to
supply this force. If you
are weak in any of these
forces, use more fuel.
Thecod- liver oil in Scott's
Emulsion is the best fuel
for this work. Your nerves
grow stronger, your muscu-

The Kansas City Star pays this COM
pliment 10 the men and women Of
Missouri: The people Of this State,
considered as a great mass, are not
Southerners OrNortherners or Eastern
ers or Westerners. They are not YAM
KEGS or "Pikers-n They are not
foreigners or aliens. They know moth
ing and care nothing about sectional
distinctions, They are just Missouri
ans-that is all. And that is good
enough for any state or any popula-
ton. The MisSourian is as good a
specimen OF the average, steady
going, everyday American as can be
found in any spot or place between the
Atlantic and Pacific. He is neither
too swift nor too slow. He keeps a
level head and a steady gait, and is
about the best all-around product
civilization has yet produced.

GOOD ROADS NECESSARY.
On This Depends the Continuation Of
Rural Free Delivery.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-In the forth.
coming report of Supt. Machin, of the
free delivery service, there will be an
extended discussion of the necessity
of good roads in the extension and
maintenance of the service. Hereto
fore it has been required that in the
establishment Of the service first con-
sideratlon should be given to the con-
dition Of the roads. 1t has developed
that inspectors have only specifically
considered this question.
Recent official inquiries disclose the
fact that portion of the roads Of
more than 1000 of the 800 routes now
in operation require some repairs.
While the roads in the southwestern
states, as rule,are in good condition,
there are sections where repairs are
regarded as essential In order that ar
uninterrupted service may prevail
during all the year. Several months
ago announcement was made that
there we're routes In Wisconsion, H.
linois, Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Iowa, where the service would be dis
continued nnless repairs and improve,
ments reported to the department as
necessary were made. In the most ol
these cases the warning of the depart
ment has been needed. 1t is evident
however, In several instances that nj
serious consideration has been giyer
TO the announcement Of the postmas
ter general in this connection.
In such cases the department is ad
vising road supervisors and other in
terested officials that the lack Of carr
given TO the roads covered by rura
routes will, II continued, endangel
the permanency of the service. In
discussing the question Supt. Machir
expressed the opinion that rural free
delivery would eventually solve thu
question of good roads.
