The editor Of the Herald was late to

A Prescription That Might Be Used
With Advantage Today.

A Prescription That Might Be Used
With Advantage Today.
There Is story still current In Illi-
nois which says that an old farmer
friend of President Lincoln, who used
to correspond with him, complained on
one occasion Of his poor health. He
received the following reply, which Is
quoted in Illinois as "Lincoln's pre-
scription:" do not worry. Eat three
square meals a day. Say your prayers.
Think Of your wife. Be courteous to
your creditors. Keep your digestion
good. Steer clear Of biliousness. Ex-
ercise. Go slow and go easy. Maybe
there are other things that your es-
pecial case requires to make you hap
py; but, my dear friend, these, I reck-
on, will give you a good lift"
This advice Is doubtless applicable In
its entirety to many Americans In
every state in the Union today. There
are parts Of it which apply to us gen.
erally-as a nation. do not worry.
Keep your digestion good. Go slow
and easy" 1t would be difficult to find
an American who has not something
to amend on these points. Worry and
dyspepsia have assumed the proper
tions of national evils, and they are
both more or less the result of undue
haste There Is no .surer way to pro-
mote dyspepsia than to be in con-
slant state Of hurry, and nothing Will
so surely give one the "blues" or incline
one to worry and fretting as dyspepsia
Our native institution-the quick
lunch" restaurants responsible for
large proportion of the physical ills Of
business people in large cities. Eating
hastily-"bolting" ones food, as 1t Is
popularity expressed-is enough to ruin
the digestive organs Of an ostrich. A
man would better eat half as much as
usual at the midday meal, which Is
usually the most hurried, and take
time to masticate properly what he
does put into his stomach. Better still
would 1t be If he would give himself
ample time to relax and eat light
lunch without allowing any thought OF
business to intrude on this necessary
period of relaxation.-Success.

GREAT MACADAM HIGHWAY.
Magnificent State Road to BE Built
Across Missouri.

Across Missouri.
Plans for a public highway across
the state Of Missouri between st. Louis
and Kansas City are virtually complet-
ed, and, according to w. II. Moore,
president Of the National Good Roads
association, work probably will begin
upon the roadway early next spring.
The project has been a cherished one
ever since the national convention Of
good readers was held in Chicago in
1900 AT that time the feasibility Of
building a cross state road was dis
cussed by Missourians, and President
Moore was asked to use his best efforts
to make the undertaking successful.
AS proposed the roadway will be 100
feet wide throughout it's course, says
the st. Louis Republic. While it is to
be built primarily for stability it Is
also the purpose of the projectors to
make it one of the most beautiful high
ways Of the world.
Macadam eight inches deep and
twentyfour feet wide will form the
principal roadbed, but clay wagon
paths will parallel the main roadway
on both sides for dry weather. Be-
tween the dirt roadbeds and the fences
which will follow the course of the
road water sluices are to be made for
drainage. Between these sluices and
the fences a wide plank walk for pc
destrians is also to be laid, and be-
tween the sluices and the walk trees
are to be planted for shade.
These trees are to be planted by per-
sons living along the route of the road
way, according to clause in the agree
ment which will be drawn up between
the projectors and the officials Of the
counties through which the road passes.
According to the calculations Of Mr..
Moore. about fiftyfve miles Of this
cross state highways are already COM
pleted, and from observations made
along the roads six counties have ma
terial from which the road can be con-
structed. The cost of the road is not to
exceed $4,000 a mile. which will bring
the total cost when completed in the
neighborhood of 100000.
The building Of the road, if all the
plans of the National Good Roads as
ISOLATION are carried out, will devolve
largely upon convict labor, the vagrant
and those guilty Of misdemeanors.
Taxation will form the chief means Of
raising money to complete the work.
each county paying pro rata of the
expense. Money appropriated by the
legislature for the Improvement of the
roadways will also be used on the cross
state highway.

very dressy by the addition Of chiffon.
Whole waists Of chiffon trimmed
with lace are very dressy, but, alas,
very perishable. The all over lace
waist trimmed with taffeta bands
seems to be the most practical to wear
under coat, and it can be softened
around the neck by the addition of a
tulle bow.
Owing to the low dressing Of the hair

Good Road Notes

A bank at Harrisonville, Mo-, has of
fered a cash prize for the best road in
that vicinity.
There are now state good roads as
sociations organized in twenty nine
states and hundreds of county and
town associations working for better
highways.
The United States circuit court at
Los Angeles has declared the use Of
oil for sprinkling roads in California
a public necessity and not coverable by
a patent. A suit for damages recently
brought by sprinkling company
against Los Angeles county has been
dismissed
The Good Roads Magazine says that
in Binghamton, n. Y. where they have
a plant owned by the city, the cost Of
the repair of asphalt varies from 43 to
73 cents a yard, but similar repairs
made under contract with an asphalt

BUILT AT SMALL COST.
Road Constructed In south Carolina
at $3.50 Mile.

Road Constructed In south Carolina
at $3.50 a Mile.
We have called attention several
times recently to the good work done in
Louisiana in the ma tier of better roads,
especially in Ouachita and Natchitoches
parishes, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat A better feeling has been
aroused throughout the state, and we
may look for a continued improvement
from year to year-that is, the more
miles Of good roads constructed the
more clearly their value will be seen.
The chief difficulty in the south in
building roads is the expense. The
southern counties have not the money
to spend on expensive roads. however
much they may be desired, as they
have SO many other heavy burdens on
their hands in the maintenance Of the
schools, levees, etc. If they are to do
much in the way of road building, it
must be done cheaply.
South Carolina has been experiment.
ing in this matter, and we learn from
the Charleston News and Courier that
it is doing splendid work in building
good roads at small cost. Some of the
facts and figures given by the South
Carolina paper are most encouraging,
showing that good roads can be con-
structed ut q cost far below what we
have believed possible
Thus in Newberry county a road
eight miles long was constructed at a
cost Of only $3.50, the chain gang being
used 1t is claimed that this road is
the cheapest ever constructed in the
United States, and this claim will not
be disputed The Newberry road has
been graveled from six to twelve inches
thick. In Sumter county, where there
is no gravel, good clay and sand roads
are being constructed at a cost Of $500
a mile, including the material and all
other expenses except the maintenance
Of the convicts employed.

Others followed rapidly. and the state
grange was. organized June "a, 1885.
At its first annual meeting, held Dec
81, 1885. Mr.. Patterson was elected
chairman of the executive committee
for term Of three years and contin-
ued member of the state executive
committee until elected master of the
state grange at it's January session,
which office he still holds.
He has always been an active work
er on all lines of cooperation, perfect
ing system Of state trade arrange
ments surpassed by none. He also has
been for years and is now state pur-
chasing agent
On these special lines of cooperation
the Patrons of Connecticut have prof
tied largely in their purchases. Mat
tiers of legislation pertaining to rural
and agricultural interests have always
been carefully watched. and many
laws on the statute books are the re-
suit of his labors.
In 1887 the Patrons Mutual Fire In
surance company was granted a char
ter and the company organized which
has saved the Patrons of Connecticut
many thousands of dollars Mr.. Pat
terson was elected director for his
county and it's treasurer, which posi-
lions he still occupies. He has also
been selectman and has represented his
town in the legislature. He is also
treasurer Of the Connecticut Dairy
mems association, secretary and treas
urer of the Connecticut Sheep Breed
ers' association, a trustee of the Con-

member of it's executive and farm COM
mittees. The work which is necessary
to be done in the above positions, to-
gether with the management of his
dairy and stock farm of 275 acres,
keeps him busy, but he is always ready
to meet and cordially greet his many
Patron friends.
Grange work in Connecticut is pro-
crossing finely along all lines. The ju-
venile work has recently been inaugu-
rated in that state.

A Strong Insurance Organization.
The Salisbury and Amesbury Mutual
Fire Insurance company, under the
management Of the state grange, is
rapidly increasing it's business, says
the New England Homestead. The high
water mark of business under the old
management was about $95O,OOO, while
the present business amounts to ST ,35O.-

1900 and the towns represented about
200. Since Jan. | over 100000 has
been written and losses paid amounting
to $1,000. All bills are paid to date, and
there is balance in the treasury of
about $1,000. All these risks have been
carefully inspected before writing. Mas

to congratulate themselves upon the
success of their venture thus far.

The most fashionable and really the
most practical waist although it is
rather expensive at first, is Of ecru net
trimmed with shirred insertions of yell
low lace and embroidered figures. This
is made up over a slip Of white china
silk, and the whole thing will clean or
wash beautifully.
Crepe de chine waists in white and
pale colorings are largely taking the
