FAVOR OILED ROADS.

Crude OIL Better Than water
for Laying Dust.

The use of oil on highways is steadily
increasing in favor. In Moline, ILL.,, oil
has been tried in place OF water as
remedy for dust. and the results have
been most satisfactory. Bourbon. Ind,
Is considering the idea of sprinkling
the streets with oil The dust prob
lem there is very serious one during
the summer months. for there are no
gravel beds from which to construct
roads. The towns OF California. which
have been doing more in this line than
those Of any other state. are ties tify-
ing to the great benefits derived from
oil on the highways, by the continued
use they are making Of this means Of
,aying the dust The board Of super
visors of Sacramento are greatly in
favor Of oiled roads Three hundred
TO $50 barrels of oil a mile are at times
necessary for the permanent packing
of a sand road, but in many cases only
$50 barrels need be used. The roads
Of California are, in most cases, Of
sand. and the great benefits derived
from the consolidating Of this sand
with the oil is continually testified to
by those in charge Of the highways.
Not only is the oil a better dust layer
and more permanent one, but IL
is also more economical than water,
inasmuch as the roads need to be
oiled but once or twice year. while
sprinkling with water must be done
every little while.

For the last so years every one who
could sfford to take vacation has
been going to Europe for 1t. Only in
the last few seasons have Americans
begun to discover that il Is fashion
able to stay in this country. OF
course everybody knew long ago that
this country had .isrr scenery, of
any sort mentionable, than can bo
found in Europe, but what was lack
Now we have got that. IL Is now per-
fectly proper for any one, no matter
how rich he is, to spend his vaoa-
tons in the land of the free"
Other signs are not wanting TO
show he remarkable increase in out
door life. The sales of automobiles
indicates 1t, for one thing. The de-
mand for good roads, also connected
with bicycling and automobling
rather than with hauling hay to mar
ket, tcstifies to the fact that people
are wanting to get out into the coun-
try to see things. All these move
ments, though they get their initia-
tive largely from the city people, are
Of such great Importance to rural in
terests, and touch the farm life in
so many ways, that no thoughtful
farmer can disregard them.
The condition of the country roads
and roadsides not merely influences,
but very largely determines, the
course of vacation travel; and, to a
certain extent, the courses Of bust
ness traffic. A very hurried inquiry
after real estate in any neighbor-
hood will show how matters stand.
On a certain road where travel is
good, and where both the roadbed
and the roadside are kept up as they
ought TO be. farms will sell for % to
so per cent. more than on another
street a mile away where the road is
a succession of ruts and mud-holes
and the roadside panorama of d.
lapidated outbuildings, tin-can dumps
and poison ivy tangles.
So much has been said about good
roads that il is not worth while to
add anything to that discussion now.
but attention should not be too much
diverted from the protection, pre-
servation and improvement of the
roadsides. The road master or com
missioner in n great many cases can
do n great deal at little or no ex-
pense to make the roadsides more
agreeable. IL only he is man Of
taste and has his mind on the mat
ter. Sign boards at the crossroads
should be supplied everywhere, OBJ
jectionablc buildings can often be
removed. attractive trees can be pre-
served. convenient watering troughs
can be located, and dozens of other
things done for the convenience and
satisfaction of the public. The les
son which we are just beginning to
learn is that such things pay. 1t

SAFEGUARD.


nERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as
= the men; ii is just the thing for
the many little catarrhal ailments Of
childhood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success
has been in the use Of Peruna in their
families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 1903 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
II will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. took severe cold
which gave NE hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is well.
II cannot express my thanks in
words, but ! recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for ! can con-
scientiously say that there is no medi-
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone in
this town knew about the sickness of
myself and family, and they have seen
with establishment what Peruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
pie, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, AMI. j. Scher-
rinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
II consider Peruna an indispensable
article in my medicine chest. 1t is
twenty medicines in one, and has SO
far cured every sickness that has been
in my home for five years. consider
it Of special value to weakly women,
as it builds up the general health,
drives out disease and keeps you in
the best Of health."-Mrs. Mamie Wal
lace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. 1t is just as sure to cure case
of catarrh Of the bowels as it is cas- G
of catarrh of the head.
