HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT,
what various states Are Doing to
Secure Good Roads.

Many states are now Spcnd'rg mil
lions of dollars every year in the inn
provement of public highways. There
are state road Improvement associa-
tons in twenty-four states. highway
commissions in eleven states, and the
National Good Roads association is
represented in twentyseven states.
Some states have neither state road
improvement laws nor is any effort
made to improve the roads unless ne
cessity compels the farmer and NOR
chants to act IN unison to reserve an
equilibrium of the market
New Jersey now has the best roads
and Missouri perhaps the worst says
O writer in the Horseman. New Jer-
sey has recently expended $3.50, 600 in
road improvements and built 100 miles
of new roads. Missouri raises more
farm products than any state in the
Union and has 100000 miles Of reads,
30 per cent of which are impossible
five months in twelve. Some eastern
and few of the southern states have
increased their road appropriations and
are now spending a goodly sum for
road building and repairing.
There are now about 1000 road Off
Gals in the United States. nine national
good roads associations and any num-
Der of local organizations. The Ma
tional Good Roads association, fore
most in the fight for better highways,
is doing an excellent work under the
direction of W. II. Moore and X. w.
Richardson, the first men to secure the
running of a good roads train" A
number of states have annual appro-
priations, but great deal of the pub
lie Improvement is done by farmer
capitalists, who have long ago realized
the economics of the good roads prob
lem
Highway commissions have. lately
been created in Michigan and North
Carolina, while Massachusetts, Indi-
ana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennes-
see, Mississippi and Missouri have pro-
vided for the issuance of bonds for
road improvement and bridge building
along the country highways. In Ne
braska. Oklahoma and Minnesota road
taxes have recently been made payable
in cash, and the money is Immediately
expended in road improvement. Wide
tire laws have gone into effect in Con
necticut. Indiana, Minnesota, Califor-
MIA, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.
The states " Indiana and Pennsylva-
mia have passed laws fixing the weight
of loads to be hauled over country
roads so as to prevent their being cut
into nv pyppcSivply loaded UopoDc
Thus it is that the fight for better
system of country roads is being
waged.

How to Clean Incandescent Nantes.
First remove the globe, then lift off
the remaining parts and put on the
table, says the New York News. Take
off the chimney, then with Il hatpin put
about half way through the cord at
the top of the mantle lift off carefully
and place each end of the pin on the
sides of a tumbler, the mantle hang
ing down the middle, and pour care
fully over the mantle a little methy-
lated spirits. Remove the fork, and
with a soft brush clean the burner and
replace the fork, then the mantle; then
apply a lighted match to the mantle
to burn off the spirit, as when new.
Clean the chimney with little of the
spirits left in the tumbler, then the
globe. Replace both, and you will
have a beautiful, clear light and your
mantle will last for few months
longer. Be careful not to put the light
ed match near the spirit.

WORTHY OF EMULATION.
Judge FalcOner's Novel Plan to Sc

Judge FalcOner's Novel Plan to Sc
cure Good Roads.
Judge w A. Falconer of Fort Smith,
Ark, has applied the principle of state
aid in a new way, says the Good Roads
Magazine. AS state aid is not yet
forthcoming in Arkansas, though 1t
will soon be provided for, Judge Fal-
coner put himself in the states place
and offered to donate $500 to that
one of the four most important roads
in the township which would raise the
largest bonus to obtain it.
One road raised $3.50 in guaranteed
cash subscriptions in addition to the
engineering work and unlimited guam
titles of stone. To the road coming
next in this friendly contest the judge
offered dollar for every dollar it
would raise. provided it would raise as
much as 81 1000 by April /. That road
had on March s, in cash and in checks
payable April l, $500 and expected
to raise S700 or $500 more.
Judge Falconer has done more than
help Fort Smith to get good roads. He
has set an example that may we'll be
emulated throughout the nation.

them free from dust and dirt, divide
them into small lunches, cutting off the
roots. and hang them across a line in

put them in paper bags, label them and
keep them on the kitchen dresser or

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.


How to Avoid SUHStrOkC and Heat
Exhaustion.
The prevention ul Sunstrokc and heat
exhaustion requires absolute abstinence
from alcoholic hcVcra yes, says DR.. Cy-
rus Edison in the New York American.
We must avoid heated ROOMS. especial
ly where the atmospheric conditions
are bad. This means that we should
not 20 to crowded places indoors. Heat
exhaustion or sunStrokc under such
conditions may be acquired when the
sun is not shining just as easily as
during the day in the suns rays. 1t is
not the sun that does the harm. but
the heat.
The cOmmoneSt cause of SunStrOke is.
of course, overeXertion in times of
great heat, and by overeXertion we
mean overmental eXertion as well as
overmuscuar eXertion.
If sunstrokc were Il desirable thing
for a man to get and | wished to cause
an individual To have sunstroke
would advise him as follows:
First.-Borrow all the trouble you
can, so as to fret and exhaust your
mind, and then try to drown it with
plenty of alcoholic drink. The kind is
not essential. Any kind will do.
Second.-Go to some crowded place
of amusement the day before hot
spell of weather is expected and the
following day keep on the sunny side
of the street and exercise vigorously.
Third.-Wear warm, uncomfortable
clothing while doing this.
These directions by Indicating what
may cause sunstroke show how one
may avoid it by following just the op-
posite advice
One of the best means of avoiding a
sunstroke is to keep the body in II re-
freshed condition by means of Il cool
bath on arising in the morning and Il
brisk rubbing with Il coarse towel aft
erward. This procedure refreshes and
invigorates and enables one to go
through a day fairly comfortably.

Nervous exhaustion and liver trouble so

Tor long time she was very close to the Dor

by two good physicians, who did all they

grew worse right along. One day saw an
advertisement of DR.. Miles Nervine and

Herbert PuffeT, While Avoiding
One Train Was Struck by
Another Naar Blackstone.

Herbert Puffer. who belonged In Lex
ington. Mass. died at the Woonsocket
hospital yesterday afternoon.
Puffer. who was AZ years old. was
struck by a freight train while walking
on the roadbed Of the Consolidated COM
pany.
He was endeavoring to reach Whitins-
vile, Mass. and the scene of the acci-
dent was about one mile south OF the
Blackstone Junction passenger station.
Puffer observed one train approaching
and stepped from the rails to avoid being
struck. He did not observe that another
train was approaching from the other
direction and stepped In front OF IL.
His injuries were of terrible nature.
His left arm was mangled above the
elbow and crushed at the shoulder. His
right forearm was crushed, the left leg
mangled below the knee, his right thigh
broken. his nose smashed In and there
were severe contusions on his forehead
and the right side OF his body.
Despite these injuries Puffer was con
scious after a while and told how he
came to be hurt; that he was born In
Lexington. Mass. and that his sister.
Mrs. w. B. Hughes, resided In New Bed
ford.
DIT. Thomas r. Kennedy accompanied
the man in the ambulance run to the
hospital and assisted In the care OF him
there.
Puffer's right arm and left leg were
amputated; but he had lost so much
blood and had suffered such a shock
that he died while on the operating table.
The accident was discovered at II
O'clock in the morning when n citizen
notified Charles w. Guinness fagman
on local freight 4i53, that man was lying
on the tracks. AT first II was supposed
that the unfortunate individual had
slipped and fallen under the wheels while
endeavoring 20 steal ride on a freight
train: but Puffer's account OF the mishap
disproved that theory.
