he examined a second page, and, still not

Do WE EAT TOO MUCH?
Generally Acknowledged That the Pres

The question whether or not we eat too
much is just now agitating the scientific

matter in hand. and, with the sanction

1t is quite likely that the minimum esti-
mate of quantity and quality of nutrient
material required will be surprising to
most people.
This assumption is predicated on the
generally acknowledged fact that the
present generation is very much overfed.
We may go even further by saying that
The Americans as q class are notable eX
amples Of this overindulgence. Dyspep-
STA is veritable American disease. due
as much to the overlooking Of the ston-
ach with rich food as to the hasty man
ner in which the act is accomplished
AS regards the actual nutrition to be
obtained. it is the old story of the choked
crate and the deficient draught. The APP
petite is driven with loose rein and is
spurred by the multiplied trickeries of
fancy dishes. In the good old times
when food was plain and physical labor
was the rule, healthy hunger took care OF

This is a very common sight and is
almost always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.

cures old chronic eases as we'll as a slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken to
effect a cure.

WATERpROOFING ROADS.
The Use of Tar Prevents Dust and Saves
Wear and Tear

Automobile owners and the driving
pubic as well will watch with interest
an experiment made at Westfeld, Y. j.,
III the use of tar sprinkled over ma
cadamized roadbed TO abolish those twin
nuiSanceS, dust and mud.
In France this scheme has been tried.
1t Is said, for some time, with much sat
isfaction to the automobiles. The plan
is simple. The surface of the macadam-
lied road is cleared of dust and loose ma
terial. Then boiling tar is sprinkled over
the road lightly; and the screenings put
back and rolled. The tar sinks into the
hard bed, binding the stone anew and
FORMING new face on top. 1t is claimed
that 1t also waterproofs the roadbed and
adds new life to it.
MacadamiZed roads turn into dust and
blow away. Ruts are formed by con-
slant wear IN soft spots, and when it
rams pasty mud collects that is lust
as Objectionable as is the dust. The tar
sprinkling is intended to do away with
all this
In the experiment a piece of an ordi-
nary country road. sixteen feet wide.
Just outside Westfeld, n. j., was taken.
Two sections, about 1000 feet long, were
used. On one the tar was run over the
roadhed. with the dust and screenings
Just as they lay. On the other the road
was swept to the hard surface and then
the tar was applied. IN both instances
the results seemed to meet with the APP
prevail Of the roadmaking experts pres
ent
The tar was put OH in very crude
fashion by, hand from big watering
can. 1t had penetrated nearly an inch
after being OH the road only three hours,
and III short time after it was laid
there was 10 tracking on it. and it did

The cost Of treating a road in this way
with tar is estimated at between 800
and $500 a mile for road sixteen feet
wide. This would require 5000 gallons
Of tar to the mile.-New York Herald.
