FEED YOUNG GIRLS.
Must Have Right Food While Growing

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain all that is upbuild;ng
and nothing harmful.
AT that age the structure is being

sturdy character, health and happiness

healthy cells may be built in and sick

public roads conditions in the State:
All but two or three of the counties
in North Carolina are still working the
public roads under what is known rs
the "Old State Law" which requires
all male citizens between the ages Of
eighteen and forty-five years to work
the public roads on IN average of six
days during each year, or pay an
amount OF money sufficient to provide
Il substitute for doing this work. For
| ty-live Of these counties, in addition to
having this "Old State Law" have Il
provision for 4 special road tax, which
is on an average for State sixteen and
OQe-hali cents on the 500 property
valuation and Gfty-two cents on the
poll.
The total amount Of money spent on
the public roads during the past year
was $4O1 $50, including the money
spent for permanent roads, repairing,
| grading and all other purposes. This
amount seems surprisingly large when
we consider the wretcleu condition OF
| some Of the roads in the State. How
ever, one county alone Necklcnbur@,
spent more than $4,000, and GuilforL
| County recently authorized an issue Of
500, 900 in bonds for road building and
is spending several thousands of it
each year
Thirty-six counties in the State are
using cOnyicts in working the public
roads, and the total average of convicts
thus employed during the year was $50.
However, in 10 more than a dozen
counties of the State is this convict
work on the public roads done econom-
ically and satisfactorily. The best sys-
TEN probably exists in Mccklenbur.:
County, where about 100 cOnvictS. in
two separate camps, are worked con-
stantly OH the public roads. The aver
age cost there of feeding, clothing and
guarding the convicts and providing
sleeping quarters, medical attention
and all other necessaries. averages
twenty-three cents per day per convict
These valuable results are obtained
through intelligent management and
business-like methods.
So far rs we are able to determine
the good roads question in North Caro-
lima is more alive than ever before, and |
the Geological Survey is constantly re.
ceiving requests from all sections OF |
the State for advice and practical as
sistance in public road Improvement. |
Our good roads engineer, Mr. w. l..
Spoon. spends the greater part of his
time in visiting the different counties
or the State to assist the county au-
thorities in the practical questions of
road improvement, and this is done
without cost to the county for his serv.

REQUIRED NEAR CUSTER.

Crow Agency, Mont, Sept 23.-The Custer
battlefield is being turned into national Val
haIla of Indian fighters From oIdtime frontier
posts throughout the West the mouldering bones
of men who gave their lives that the white
mans civilization might replace the savagery of
the Indian are being brought to this smiling
Montana country and Will have a final resting
place under the hill stained by the blood Of
Custer and his men of the 18th Cavalry The
government has been carrying this work for
some time, converting Custer Field into a hall
of frontier fame, but little or no attention has
been paid to it
Every Far Western post has its stories OF
siege and hardship, of decirneted- garEisoHs and
of brave men who have suffered death in its
worst form at the hands of foe that recognized
none of the rules of civilized warfare To vouch
for these stirring tales of early days each post
has its quota Of graves. in most cases unmarked
and IN a sad state of decay and neglect Some
times there will be a row Of wooden slabs with
the names of the dead soldiers painted thereon,
but usually even these fra1 evidences of the
care of the living have disappeared few
years more and it would be impossible to find
the burial places Of many of these heroes Of
army posts. and consequently the work of re-
ruovaI to Custer Field is commended. Here each
body gets reverent reburial, and a white marble
headstone is erected to mark the spot There is
a government attendant to give each grave care,
and overhead flies Old Glory. Surely no soldier
could ask a finer resting place than on this
battlefield of a thousand memories, with the
wonderful blue skies of Montana rejecting the
deep peace of the broad, brown plains

SKULL OF A GIANT PIG.
Found in fossil beds of Oregon by University of
California scientists.

With him came his son Tom Cotesworth, who
had acted in the capacity Of second whipper-in
to several good packs in England. as well as at
the Meadow Brook It has proved fortunate
thing for the MiddIesex Hunt to secure Cotes-
worth as huntsnan- He has had the benefit OF
thfrty-five years experience a huntservant
in England, where he has been connected with
the best packs including the Belvoir Brockles-
by etc, and huntsnan with the Earl
Of Bathurst. Cotesworth has proved that,
with a thoroughly good pack Of English hounds
and competent huntservants, good sport can be
had after the New England fox, in spite Of the
objections and obstacles raised by the sC0iers,
who declared that to hunt with the drag was
the only style practicable in America
The new kennels have been completed, from
designs by J. l Chamberlain. They have all
the modern improvements which Cotesworth,
with his long experience, could suggest They
are brick to the first story. while the second is
in plaster, showing half timber. Airing yards,
paved with fagstone, as well as grass yards,
give the hounds q chance to get the air when
they are not at work or exercise With such
good blood in the kennels and man of long ex-
perience to attend to the breeding, Mr.. Higgin-
son hopes in time to be able to do away with
the draft from England, with only an occa-
sionaI infusion Of new blood There have been
already added to the pack such young hounds

n PRERISTORIC PIG.
Skull Dug Ont Of Rocks IN Oregon
and Huge Animal Restored.

San Francisco. Sept, 23.-Wfth only weather
beaten and seni-petrffed skull to base their
studies on the University Of California geologtsts
have restored a grotesque pig the size Of q COW.
This formidable beast has received the equally
formidable name EIotherium, and it's discovery
marks a new kind of ungulate hitherto unknown
in the realm of paIeontoIogy. The remarkable
specimen on which these studies have been
constructed was picked out of rocky cliff
high up on the walls of the Bridge Creek in IL
John Day region in Eastern Oregon. It wal
found six years ago. but it has taken long
period of careful chisel work IN the laboratory
at Berkeley to release it intact from its roc
matrix, and a still longer time to study it und 4
the microscope and find in its structure the
evidences which warrant its being placed b
a new species Of pig ridiculously difrererzs
from the modern porker that it's restoraHos
seems like a weird fantasy created in nurssu
book artists imagination
The achievement Of the Berkeley paleontnlsz
gists in unearthing this gigantic pig is only one
of a number of discoveries made in the John
Day REORGANIZATION which have given %
the world a remarkably accurate idea Of
the animal life which teemed In the great
wastes now known as the Bad Lands ages be-
fore the coming Of the volcanic era which
turned this vast region into molten stone and
submerged all the land with its strange fanna
and flora forms under solid mile of lava
The expedition which sent out from
Berkeley found this forb1dding country rich IA
fossil treasures, although It took, even with csa
experienced eyes of the geOlogist, the utmost
skill and care to avoid missing the bones, Whoss
bare surfaces exposed in yellow. rock looked -
much like their surroundings
The pigs skull which is one Of the chief
trophies of this chase for archaic game aninnatz
was found only by accident Only one tooth told
the quick eye of Frank c. Calkins, member
of the party, that fossil prize awaited his pfc<

moned and the task of dragging the monster
from his grave begun under the most dis

that fOothoIds had to be chopped into its Sides
while arduous excavations had to be made above
the specimen in order to prevent masses Of rOck
from tumbIing down the heads Of the geok-
ogists endangering their lives, besides the
safety OF the fossil itself. After Two weeks o.
steady digging the head Of the formidable beaz<
was taken out, along with scattered bones and
bone fragments. which assisted in the RESTORATION
of the whole animal. Among these specimens
were several cerevicaI vertebrR and portions az
