The light is reflected back from the mir

NATIONAL AID PLAN.
1t Has Support of Good Roads AdvO-
Gates in Both Houses of the
Present Congress.

AS the time for the converting of con-
gross approaches, interest in important
legislation revives. Among the meas
ures introduced and discussed in the
last congress, which will come up again
in this, there are few if any of greater
Importance than the Brownlow bill for
national aid to road building. Mr..
the bill, is more enthusiastic than ever
for his pet measure, and will reintroduce
it at the first opportunity He thinks it
is possible to secure its passage by this
congress and the remarkable growth of
favorable sentiment indicates that his
hopes may DE realized. 1t is certain that
the principle involved will have power
full aid in the house. A large number of
members from different sections stand
ready to support it, notably from the
south and west. The bill is also likely
to receive strong support from the Penn
sylvania, New York and New England
delegations. This section of the coun-
try not only has the best improved
roads, but has had msst experience with
the principle and practice of cooperation
IN road building as embodied in the
state aid plan. 1t is believed that the
representatives from this section will
favor national aid, which is only more
general application of the principle of
state aid
1t is certain also that the measure will
have active championship in the senate.
Senator Latimer, of South Carolina, is
an enthusiast on the subject of good
roads, and is fully committed to the ma
tlonal aid plan. 1t is also claimed that
a number of northern senators will sup
port the measure.
1t is difficult to see how congress can
avoid taking up the good roads ques-
ton if the rural free mail delivery is to
be extended much farther. Already the
people CT many districts are muttering
because extension of the free delivery
system has been refused to them. Such
mutrerings will soon develop into indig-
nant protests, and may result in bitter
opposition to the whole free delivery
system. How, indeed, can the govern
ment justify the granting of great
blessing like this to those districts where
the people need it least, and the with
holding of it from those who need it
most? Yet, as every well-informed man
knows, rural free delivery without good
roads is impracticable. What then is
left for congress but to act under the
constitutional provision which provides
for the establishment of post-roads?
And certainly there is no easier way of
accomplishing this than by the national
aid plan. which will make the local COM
munities bear a large part of the bur-
den

about 100000 tons larger than the
crop last year, and about 5,500,O00 tons

The Doctors Statement.

St. John, Kans., Nov l6th.-This town
has a genuine sensation in the case of a
little boy, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Mcbride. DIR. Lines, the attending
physician, says:
Scarlet Fever of very malignant type
brought this child very near to death and
when the fever left him, he was semi-para-
lyzed in the right leg and right arm. He
also lost hearing in his right ear and his
mind was much affected.
His parents tried another treatment for
time and when | was recalled l found
that he was having spells very like Epilep-
sy and was very bad and gradually growing
worse. / advised the use of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and in short time the child be-
gan to improve. Inside of week the
nervous spasms or epileptic seizures ceased
altogether"
Mr. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement of the facts and DR.. Jesse
L. Lines has added his sworn statement
saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and moth
ing else cured the fits.

Prisoner.

A certain squire of the city, who betrays
his patriotism by presiding in a small Of
flee painted red, white and blue, had a
ease before him the other day which at
tracted an unusual crowd to the temple of
justice. A young fellow was up before him,
relates the Pittsburg Dispatch, on a charge
of stealing brass, and his friends were out
IN full force to see that he got fair
show.
Before the case opened the noise and
confusion became so great that his honor
declared that the next man to indulge in
any unusual outbreak would be elected
from the room. He had hardly ceased
speaking when young man shouted, at
the same time waving his hat above his
head:
"Hooray fur Squire Hooligan!"
Put him out" roared the court, and in
another instant the young man found him
self being rushed to the door. Order hay
ing been restored once more, his honor or
dered that the prisoner be brought before

and then great light suddenly fell upon

change, 'have queer idea of what the

A foot log with hand rail was con-
structed for pedestrians. This has all
been superseded by the rustic bridge
shown in the picture. The bridge is the
handiwork of Mr.. Harris, erected under
his immediate supervision. He found
in his woods ia reservation of the orig
inal forest) leaning white oak, from
which he cut a log of the proper length.
1t was taken to sawmill and ripped in
the center, making two outside string
ers having each the external appear
ance of an entire log with symmetrical,
archlike curves. A second cut from
the same tree, having the same curve,
was used for the center of the struc-
ture. Six posts, also part of the same
tree, were set in the earth, three on each
bank, near the stream, but deeper than
the channel, so they can never be washed
out by the current. The stringers rest
on the posts, which extend to the surface
of the ground. The actual expense was
less than five dollars, yet the bridge will
bear the heaviest loads of grain, farm
machinery and traction engines that
will have occasion to cross it. The struc-
ture, as finished with plank floor, rail-
ing and sides of fantastic boughs cut
from the top of the same tree, is both
useful and ornamental. 1t is a single
example of the numberless ways in
which a farmer, by the exercise of taste,
may beautify his property and add to the
general attractivcness of the country

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

1t is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article is
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are we'll known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. S. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: Bread made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as poison.i
1t is we'll known that these so-called
cheap goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-qusrter
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.

A Pointer for PIOyymen.

When the soil has been plowed the
same depth number of years, the bot
tom of the furrow may become glazed
and baked so hard the water cannot
settle through it or come up from be-
low by capillary action. Then when
heavy rains come, plants are drowned,
and during drouth can get no water
from the subsoil, all of which is rem
edied by subsoiling. Some soils are
injured by subsoiling, as waxy clay,
which when very wet will run to-
gether in solid mass. Earthworms
tunnel such soils and keep them porous
and it is better not to disturb them.
A loose gravel or light sand is already
as loose as it should be to secure capil-
larry action, and it will be injured by
any attempt to make it looser.-Agri-
