questions are being asked Of Mr.. T.. ID. Holt
Of this place in regard to his wonderful re-
covery. For two years he has been down with
his back. He was SO very bad that he could
not even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dition he suddenly appeared well and strong
as ever. q
1t is no wonder therefore that his friends
are asking him ''How did you do it."
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it, and adds This remedy is a genuine
good medicine and one that can heartily
recommend to everybody.

greater enthusiasm among the people
for building good roads than In Florida,
and In no state has more good legisla-
ton favorable to road Improvement been
enacted during the past year. The leg
islature which recently adjourned en-
acted several general road lawn. Their
general purport can be sAthered from
the following brief statement by Senator
. A. s. Mann. who Is state organiser for the
Florida Good Roads association:
The general public at FIRST glance will
not be preparedsto grasp the importance
of the present good roads laws The act
giving the internal Improvement fnnd
to good roads alone In its entirety In
lands and money bequeaths to the cause
not less than ten or fifteen million OF DOL
lars, In Florida. where material Is
abundant and cheap with little or, no
expensive cuts or nils to make and eand
as foundation insuring perfect drain
age or readbed, an Immense amount of
work can be done on this fund alone;
but couple with this the convict money.
one-half OF which goes into the general
revenue fund of each county. and may be
used on roads II the county commission
ers SO wish. and the levy of three-mill
tax on all values for same purpose. and
all will see that the power to make good
roads has been given without stint"
Another act of the highest Importance
sets aside for purposes of road improve
ment the Indian war claims, the payment
OF which has been authorized by con-
gress. From this alone the state will
realize over half million dollars.
1t is an interesting fact that the aver
age swamp land fund and the Indian
war claims fund both come to the state
from the national government; and now
that the legislature has decided to use
them for road building they are virtually
national aid to road improvement. The
swamp lands were granted to the state
by congress about the middle Of the last
century. A large part of the lands have
since been sold or donated to promote
railroads and other internal improve
ments. but there are still many millions
OF acres of valuable land from which an
immense fund can be derived. all of
which Is to be used for road building.
The roads are not to be built by the state,
but by the counties. each Of which will
draw from these funds In proportion to
the total assessed value of its property.
This is not all the road legislation the
good roads advocates of Florida want.
A large and enthusiastic state good roads
convention was held at Gainesville In
July. Resolutions were adopted de-
handing the employment Of convicts in
road building; urging joint action Of
counties In building through lines Of
roads across the state In all directions:
pledging support to candidates for Of
fee who will work for good roads: de-
claring for cooperation with the Ma
tional Good Roads association in the
work of organization; and demanding
that the national government aid the
states in the great work Of building good
roads throughout the country.

THE OLD-TIME DAIRY.
~ Owner Usually Acquired .
Bank Account.

Only under certain conditions, the
dairy means wealth to lie farmer, and
fertility to his farm. II these condi-
lions be not secured. and maintained,
dairying will exhaust the farm and i'm
poverish the farmer more speedily and
more hopelessly than almost any 9TH
er form Of farming. When the milk
is sold on the farm. 1t carries with 1t
the fertility of the soil, and generally
the net price of the milk is too low to
pay for making 1t and to replace the
fertility removed with 1t. This hard
fact underlies all the complaints of
dairy farmers about the proftlessness
OF dairy farming.
Old-time dairy farming sent from
the farm only the butter. and the old
time farmers made money and were
the most independent men on arth.
Win farmers once more take up home
churning. dairy farming will once
more become steadily and satisfac-
torily profitable. and dairy farms Will
once more increase, instead Of de-
crease, in fertility. The most forlorn
thing In the farming region is the
large dairy farm. once fertile and OPP

small in quantity. and high in cost.
1t goes away In cans while the churn
rots in the shed or garrett. It nets the
tenant rs cents for each dollar he puts
into 1t. He can't pay his rent. The
owner says he is no good. The tenant
says the farm Is no good-and both
are right The churn, substituted for
the can, would change such farms de-
cidedly and probably for both owner
and tenant. When will farmers open
their eyes to the business folly i'm
piled In the senseless work that is mis-
called dairy farming?' Butter is the
basis of farm wealth and fertility, but
farmers In these days seem to think
that butter-making is hard work In
comparison with milk shipping. On
this fundamental error they have built
and are maintaining the losing ship
ping business, throwing away the soil
of their farms along with their own
strength, health, work. comfort and
lives.--Midland Farmer.

The oppressiveness was made doubly op

I'D think she'd melt under that hot veil,

Ali eyes centered on the woman of sor-
row. The somberness of her garb made the
train seem almost sepulchral. But the worst
was yet to come. A man, who had been no
ticed as her companion, had stopped at the
cooler to get drink. The woman quietly
arose, stepped into the aisle and called to the
man: gts@ EL
Felix, don't forget the body. It'd be an
awful joke il the train got to Calvary and

Everybody in the car shuddered. Then
she turned to woman sitting behind her
