1t is rank foolishness to attempt

or local treatment, as advocated

can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly Con the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the

WOmens Kidneys.

Women are more often afflicted
with kidney disorders then men,
but attribute the SYMPTOMS to
diseases peculiar to their sex, while
in reality the kidneys are deranged.
nervousness, headaches, puffy or

the back, are signs of kidney
trouble that must not be ign ored,
or a serious maiady will result. Fo-

health of thousands of weak nervous

Irregularities and strengthens the

simple Home Cheesemaking.

For lust a good cheese recipe that
can be used at country home with
out much cost Orange Judd Farmer
submits the following by C. f. Doane:
Use milk three or four hours old
that has been held at about 20 degrees
and that has not as yet commenced
to sour. Heat to about Sc degrees, add
ounces, or eighty-ive c. c. Cubic cent?
meters), to 1000 pounds of milk. Al
low to coagulate for about thirty to
forty minutes, break the curd with a
spoon or three cornered stick until the
particles are the size of the end Of the
small finger, heat slowly to about 100
degrees, stirring almost constantly in
the meanwhile, and allow to stand at
100 degrees until the curd becomes
very firm. Roughly it may be stated
that it will require about two and a
half hours from the time the curd is
broken.
Drain off the whey and stir the curd
fifteen or twenty minutes, allowing to
cool slowly. Salt at the rate of two
and half pounds of salt per 1000
pounds of milk; put in a mold, square
or round, and apply considerable pres

pounds to each cheese. A thermome-
ter, tin vessel for heating and
measure for measuring the rennet ex-
tract, and the rennet extract itself, can
be purchased from any supply house.

STEEP GRADES.

Why a Good Road Expert Favors Re-
ducfng Them.
An expert on roadmaking declares
that much can be done at small ex-
pense if road supervisors and commits
sioners exercise judgment in their
work, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
In every possible case, he declares,
efforts should be made to reduce steep
grades by cutting the top of each hill
and filling in at the bottom. "frhe best
grade and FORM" be adds, land the
most perfect system of drainage for an
earth road constitute the best prepare
ton for gravel or macadam road
should either of these surfaces be add
ed at a later date The grades of a
road limit the size of loads which can
be drawn over it,"
He illustrates this statement by the
following comparative facts: A pair
of horses can with the same effort
draw 1,600 pounds on 5 per cent
grade, or one foot rise in twenty feet;
$500 pounds on 2 per cent grade, or
one foot rise in fifty feet; $500 pounds
on per cent grade, or one foot rise
in a hundred feet, and 1900 pounds on
a level road

OBJECT LESSON ROAD.
Plans of n Highway Between New
York and Chicago.


The New York and Chicago Road as.
ISOLATION is composed of people who
are in favor of the Improvement of the
highways of the nation, the construc-
ton and maintenance Of first class
modern continuous lines Of interstate
highways and especially in the con-
struction of an object lesson road be
tween New York and Chicago says the
New York American. This road, it is
the intention, shall be Of such character
that it will be benefit to every munic-
ipality through which it passes and to
every individual along its route. 1t is
to be primarily a useful highway. not
designed for the special benefit of pleas
ure seekers or for the exclusive use Of
those intent on business, but one which
all classes of citizens wak find con-
venience, a benefit anu 4 paying in
vestment
The association is simply a banding
together of people working for COM

Is more potent than individual effort
dud llldC lulOuSA
may be brought about which would be
beyond the power of any one to ac-
complish single handed
That the cost of constructing high
way such as planned by the association
would be too great for any single or
ganization to meet is self evident. This
association does not propose to actually
build this road itself, but it's work will
consist of arousing public interest and
enthusiasm in the project, SO that each
state, county, city and town will build
its individual link in its own locality,
eventually forming a complete chain Of
modern road. In this manner, as can
readily be seen, the cost Of the con-
struction of this road will not be bur-
den on any one.

Frequently the teams become mired

Need of Good Roads.

The awakening of the country to the
need of good roads has just begun, says
the Boston Herald. The next few years
will see some rapid strides in this mat
ter Tive of the most potent factors in
the present awakening are the automo-
bile and rural free delivery. The trans
continental automobile race which was
pulled off last summer resulted in the
accumulation of much valuable infor-
nation as to the road conditions be-
tween New York city and Portland,
Ore. The two seven horsepower run
abouts which contested made the dis
lance of 1000 miles in forty four days,
demonstrating the feasibility Of the au-
tomobile as a means of long distance
transportation. The finish of the race
was made in Portland in time for the
national good roads convention.
