How to Cure the Grip.

According To Il French physician, an
attack of grip can he cured by cologne.
The prescription is also recommended
for colds, which at this season are so
stubborn and 80 common. To be effec-
tive the cologne must be used ut the
very beginning of the disease. The
very best cologne is poured on Il hand
kcrchicf and the fumes instantly i'll
hailed through the nose and mouth. If
the trouble is concentrated in the throat,
the relief. il is said. is almost immcdi-
;tc. At first the inhalations are made
at intervals of but two or three min
utrS. After burning sensation has
been excited II period of ten or fifteen
minutes may c!npsc. Twelve hours is
II fair tcSt with tn" remedy, its failure
after that length of treatment heing re-
gardcd as an Indication that grip was
already too far under way.

OF our roads are chcaply constructed to
properly resist the weight and grind OF
the wagon wheels new and important
results will he attained.
"CIose study OF these conditions re-
suited in the construction of n section
of brick wheel track road in the dcpac;;
mcnt of agriculture grounds in the ear
ly part Of 1900, followed 10y the intro
duction of this system in various places
for the Improvement Of country roads
and city streets. also with most encour-
aging results.
"The continued advance in the area
reached by the benefits OF rural free
mail delivery under aid from the ma
tiOnal treasury indicates It's deserved
popularity in the rural sections. \
steady increase seems probable in the
area thus benefited until all Of the more
dcnsely populated parts Of this country
are covered.
ITO the rapid and economical extern
sion of rural mail delivery only one OBJ
staclc worthy Of consideration presents
itself but that obstacle Is OF such a ma
ture as to greatly affect its practicable
ity and economy. This is the present
condition of our country roads.
without question one of the first
great movements toward the economic
al free rural delivery of the ma ills should
be the construction of passable roads.
This is already evident from the fact
that some Of the mail delivery routes
have had to be abandoned on account
Of bad roads.
"Thc circumstance that over $1,000
900 was appropriated by our last con-
gress largely to be buried In our muddy
roads in the delivery of our rural mails.
while only the small sum of $4,000
was last year devoted to meeting the
road problem, indicates the great need
Of education regarding the present me-
cessity and demand for vigorous and
intelligent road work.
"As much of these large apprOpria-
tions for rural mail delivery could be
savC,' 90 had good roads, it is Obvi-
Gus az amount equal to consider
able ort i OF these sums could be
spent 80 good advantage in educating
the people in the work of improving our
country roads and thus forever close a
large drain on our national cash box.
I'm view of these facts could not
million or more be spent TO the best pos
sible advantage by the national govern
ment in constructing n section Of brick
track road near each county seat
throughout the country as an object les
son in each county in the most advanced
methods of road constructions"

In Wabaunscc, one Of the oldest towns
In Kansas. whose beginning goes back
to border ruffian" days, a busy crowd
Of friends and neighbOrs gathered on
Arbor day. each bringing one or more
native trees, says the Christian Endeav-
or World. A week before some OF the
same crowd had met and fenced in Il
space which forhy-five years ago had
been set apart for park and which at
length was to be graded and planted on.
How came it that the project. which
had waited so long for accomplishment,
was now to be carried out! The secret
was this: At Christian Endcavor So
cial the question OF village improve
ment was discussed, and the young peo'
pie resolved to stir up the neighborhood
to accomplish the long delayed work Of
fencing and planting the park, and this
gathering on Arbor day was the result.

TOWN BETTERMENT.
Parks and PlayErounds-The First
Municipal Baths.

Have you parks and open spaces and
public playgroundsi IL not, your i'm
prOvemcnt association must get them,
for they are of vital importance to n
towns we'll being. The influence of
fresh air and nature on the moral and
physical character of men. women and
children Is almost unlimited for one
cannot Overcstimate their benefits.
Parks are no new things. and public
Fairgrounds are being tried in various
towns and cities with the happiest re-
suits.
A desire for public baths will soon
follow these innovations. says a writer
in the Christian Endenvor World. and
BroOkline, Mass, furnishes In this di-
rcctiOn an admirable example to copy,
The first municipal baths built in
America, they are fully equipped with
tanks OF running water and n ladies
hair drying room and the school chill
dren are obliged to take swimming les
sons as part of their regular study. All
this in n town Of only 5000 inhab-
itants.
There are many other needed re-
forms, such as a casino where social
life may find expression. school gar
dens for the study of Horticulture, bot
any. bee culture. etc. which are not
impossible of attainment. because they
have been started by the aid of I'm
prOvcment associations in places which
before have been content to dOZe away

hundreds of innovations necdful TO
well kept town. When society shows
itself efficient, the town authorities
usually aid with appropriations. and
often beneticent citizens make gener-
GUS donations.
