VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Would Make an Immense Saving II
Cost of Hauling.


The division of statistics of the de-
partmcnt of agriculture has made an
investigation into the cost per ton per
miles of transporting farm products
over country roads TO market. The
result shows that the average length
of haul in the whole United States is
12.1 miles, the weight of load for two
horses is 2.OO2 pounds, and the average
cost per tor per mile is % cents. The
average total cost for the whole length
of the haul is S3.O2
1t is estimated that the annual prod
uct of the farms of this country
amounts to more than 20O.O00.0O0 tons
On this basis the total cost of trans
porting farm products by wagon to
market is over 5000. 100000. 1t is said
that nearly twO-thirds of this could be
saved by good roads.
This cost of hauling is heavy tax
on the farmers, much of which could
be saved. The amount paid out which
could be avoided by good roads is alb
sOlutcly lost. The farmers are unable
to recover II in any way. 1t is n part
of their expense which they must de-
duct from the gross returns on the sale
of their products, and the only way
that it can be avoided is by the con-
struction Of roads that would enable
farmers to haul heavier loads in less
time.
or all men farmers are the most
deeply interested in the construction
of good roads, but they are also the
most reluctant TO incur the expense
which the improvementof of highways in

and communities can be found in near,
ly every state where the good roads
question has been under discussion for
20 years or more without the accom-
plishment of ANYTHING of importance.

Trying to Keep Ont.

A sick man who was really near to
death could not resist the temptation to
have a little fun with his spiritual ad-
wiser He had a lingering malady, but
his days were certainly numbered by a
few weeks at the most. He had not
been known as a man of strong reli-
gious convictions, and yet there was
little if anything which could be said
against him. 1t was one of those deli
cate cases in which it is hard for the
minister to do anything. Some one
suggested to Rev. Paul Weyand. then
stationed at Morningside, that he make
a call upon the patient.
Going to the house, he found the man
propped up in bed to relieve smother
ing sensation. The sick man could
scarcely talk above whisper, and Rev.
Mr. Wcyand began to make subtle in
quiries about his spiritual welfare.
The invalid's answers were all nom
committal and evasive, and finally in
despair the pastor asked:
do you really want to go to heaven,
Mr.. Blank?"
DO want to go to heaven?" repeat
ed the dying man in hoarse whisper.
"Why. that's the place I've been fight
ing so hard to keep out of for the last
two years.! Pttsburg News.

PURE DRINKING WATER.

Important Matter.

No Community Should Neglect This
Important Matter.
In recent editorial on the needs of
n municipal filter plant for st. Louis
The Republic of that city touches a
matter that Is of equal Importance to
every community in the land. A town
or city that neglects to provide an
abundance of wholesome water for the
use of the public is false to one of the
first principles of modern civilization
that Of guarding the public welfare.
Here is what The Republic says:
With honest and capable public offl-
cials, such as st. Louis proposes to put
In power at the April elections, a cru
SADIE for a municipal filter plant can
be nothing else than poor mans cru-
SADIE. The rich man can install pri-
vate filter to supply him with pure,
clear water. The poor man must use
the water as it comes from the main:
A municipal filter plant means a pure
water installation owned and operated
by the city, with which no private in
dividual,' no private corporation, no
royalty device and no privately con-
trolled invention has the remotest con-
nectiOn. 1t means plant constructed
on the best scientific and the most eco
nomical lines predetermined by expert
ment under the eye of efficient experts.

WE NEED GOOD ROADS.
Question of Improved Highways OF
Grent mpOrtnnce.

The question of road building in this
country is receiving. as it should, in
creased attention from the public OF
late, says the Washington Times ed
itorially. There is no topic on which
discussion is more profitable and none
upon which it is more important that
public interest should be awakened.
The problem has been in this coun-
to the immense extent of territory
over which highways Evc to extend
and the diversified nature of it. In
no other civilized country has a sim
gle modern government had to wrcStle
with the problem of making good.
solid roads over thousands of miles of
country, some sandy, some swampy,
some mountainous and all more or less
untamcd by the hand of man. The Ro-
mans laid foundations of good roads
all over Europe aN still remain the
champion road builders of the ages.
But we had no Romans in this country

breaking even if we had wanted to
emulate the works of Caesar.
Another thing which has complicated
the matter of making turnpikcs is the
rapid and phcnomcnally successful de-
velopmcnt of the railroads. They have
cast their network of steel wires all

transportation business, so that where
they went it was not so very neccs-
sary to have roads that would stand
heavy hauling or promote fast driv
ing. In Kentucky, famous for her good
roads, travel by coach or horseback
was common. and it was worth while
for the community to make it easy and
swift. Moreover, the confguration of
the country favored road building.
OF late years the bicycle associations
have urged an improvement in the
highways. \ bicycle is a less patient
animal than the horse in some respects.
1t will work untiringly as long as it is
humOred, but it has to be humOred. \
good horse will endure-bccause he

which has mircd him to the depth of a
foot or two, or picking his way over a
siding mountain path covered with
rolling stones. but nobody can get a
bicycle to do that. y horse will stand
the spur, whereas if a spur was used
on the tire of bicycle it would calmly
lie down In the road. In short. the
wheel is an eXacting creature to ride.
and the bicyclist very soon discovers
that for his own comfort if he intends
to ride that wheel at his own sweet
will he will have to bestir himself
and make the legislatures provide good
roads for him to travel.
BY whatever means the roads are
improved it is we'll that it should be
done. The difference between good
road and a bad one may mean much to
the community. 1t may make or mar
the civilization of the whole region to
be more or less accessible by turnpike.
The quicker this matter of public high
ways receives proper attention the bet
ter off the country will be.

Wear and Tear OF Ronds.

There are small humps on macad-

into dust, debris, with the rolling of ve-
hicles and the striking of the horses
hoofs. Then. with the weight bearing
on them, stones are also apt to sink,
and this sinking causes greater or
smaller cavities according to the bad
or good condition of the road. This
kind of damage goes under the name of

awhile until his wife gives it to the
tramp who wheeled out the three bar
rels of ashes. The tramp wears it until
the old coat commences to fall apart.
Then he gives it to another tramp. and

The coat just simply faded away.

Bed as the Best Cure of Dyspcpsin.


Albu draws attention to the fire.
Quency with which neurasthenia. anr-
mia and malnutritiOn are associated
and the great amount of injury to the
system at large that may be produced
by such triad. The deficiency in
nerve energy and the consequent i'm
perfect incrvatOn of the tissues lead
to a general lack of muscular tone
which finds expression in different
ways according to the region of the
body affected.
In the abdomen the general relaXa-
tiOn has for its consequences viScer-
optOsiS and atony of the stomach and
intcstincS. with their attendant evils,
and in proportion as the lack of proper
nutrition incrca scs. the somatic weak
ness, the debilitating events move in a
vicious circle of greater and greater
circumference and constantly involves
more remote regions in the disease.
Under such conditions the evident in
dications are rest and feeding. But
to be properly effective the patient
must completely change his previous
faulty mode of life and be treated in
a wholly alien environment.
AS a routine for such cases at least
three weeks of absolute rest in bed
in some institution away from home
is to be advised. together with full
diet, for. even though the state of the
stomach may seem to contra indicate
this overlooking. in most cases 1t will
relieve the symptoms more quickly
than the most carefully adjusted but
quantitatvely insufficient regime. BY
these means bodily waste of all sorts,

mum, and the depleted cells are en-
abled to regain their normal tone and
