Supervisors and Good Roads.

The agitation for road improve
gone over a period of twenty years,
and has been urged by varions class
eG in the interest of the bicycle, the
drivers of the four-in-hand coaches.
and the users Of automobiles, but
nothing of a practical nature was
accomplished until State Engineer
Bond called delegates from all the
boards of supervisors throughout the
State together in Albany in January,
1899, to consider the road question
from the supervisors point OF view.
These conventions have been ST.,
In number, and the delegates have
changed each year, being reDresen-
tative men from each county who
have seriously considered the ques-
ton Of road improvement md the
cost as it applied to their particular
locality. At the first convention
there were about seventy delegates;
at all of the others there have been
from three hundred to four hundred
men, and these men, acting through
their executive committees, have ad-
vised together each year on what
to do in regard to outlining.2 State
policy for the construction AMI MAIN
tenance of roads.
During the last four years the
delegates at these conventions have
asked almost unanimou for bond
issue on the part of the STATE large
enough to improve one mile in ten
of all the miles Of highway in the
State, and amend the constitution so
as to permit of a S50,000,0Cu bond
issue, the money from which is to be
equitably proportional to each coun-
ty, so that by the spending of So
100000 year the State can receive
equitable development during a peri
Cd of ten years. The steps at the
convention have been carefully taken
and approved, and reapproved from
year to year. In many parts of the
State the question of the bond issue
and road Improvement is not under
stood, as it should be. Wherever it
is understood, the people are not
afraid of the cost or the increased
burden in taxes in excess of the BEN
efits received-New York Tribune.

To Use Convict Labor.

The Good Roads Association of
Minneapolis has gone on record as

the work of improving the roads

do not spread apart I'm front, are accom-
panied by little double tabs of lawn
embroidered to match tho collar and
falling a few inches below the collar
in front. These tabs are really short
ties embroidered on each end. The tie
IS folded so that one embroidered end
falls little below the other. and the
fold Is slipped up under the collar front
TO the top. so that it altogether hides
the collar joining. Sometimes two
jeweled buttons are worn in the collar
through the two thicknesses Of the
lawn tabs. holding them in place and
showing effectively against the white
backgrounds.
Other models have eyelets only in
the underfold Of the tab. and the COL
lar buttons pass through these, while
the outer tab falls free, save for the
restraining collar points There are
also many kinds of finely plated rabats
in lawn and lace or embroidered lawn,
which are adjusted somewhat after the
fashion Of the double tabs just de-
scribed, and make a dainty, if some

Hand embroidered turnover collars

If 1t is really a fact that modern

in arranging school work as though all

COLD BATHS ARE FOUND
WEAKENING TO MOST GIRL 5
If Glow and Bodily Warmth Does Not Follow Then
the Practice IS Dangerous

Should young girls take cold baths ?
This is a question many physicians are
asked. and IL is variabIy answered.
though the majority of doctors are
agreed that the benefit derived from
them depends entirely upon the consti-
tuition OF the individuals.
One physician who indOrses cold baths
declares that they cannot be taken indis-
Criminately, and should never be at
tempted by a girl who is not strong
physically and whose nerves are not
capable of standing the shock and quick
ly reacting-
"A cold bath taken in the morning

she said. for a girl I'm robust health.
And II she is used 70 them there Is no
reason why she should not continue
them throughout the entire year, even
on the cOldest days in winter. OF course
would not advise anyone TO stay in
cold water longer than is necessary to
wet the body all over. for 10 become
chilled through is neither comfortable
nor conducive 70 strength. In a shower
bath every part Of the body is wet in
a few seconds, while with a sponge il
may take from one to two minutes, but
three minutes should be the limit
After which, a brisk rubbing with a
coarse towel should create a glow that
fiushes the flesh a rosy pink. sends the
blood tingling through the veins and
gives a delightful reaction that often
makes the bather perspire-
Glow Must Follow Cold Bath.
Should a girl after getting out OF a
cold bath feel chilled and following a
hard rub continue to be cold. she should
realize that the cold water is tCO severe
for her and should not attempt II again.
For instead Of being a benefit and max
ing her strong these baths viii have
the opposite effect and frequently re-
suit in illness, for the shock 10 the
nerves is too severe.
Il know Of one young woman who
determined 70 accustOm herself 70 take
cold baths each morning. Physically
she had not enough energy to stand
them and suffered with cold for hours
after; but she persevered IN the practice
for six months until she grew weak and
very Ill and has never entirely recovered.
There is really no way I can suggest
that a person can tell whether or not
cold baths are good for them. except

broidered cuffs 70 be laid fat over the
snug, plain elbow cuffs that appear
upon many short sleeves.
Standing collars or stocks or embroi-
dered lawn or linen with plated rabats
attached appear in many forms and
are often very expensive, being intri-
cately made by hand of lace, tiny bias
folds, OpenwOrk stitchery and embroi-
dery. Upon some Of the newest models
ribbon is cleverly introduced. furnishing
an attractive color note to match or
harmonic with the frock with which
it is worn.
Black and white parasols are pro-
Vided for use with the popular black
and white frocSs, although a parasol in
plain contrasting color is usually more
chic with a black and white costume.
Some models compromise by a deep
border with an upper part of tucked
silk in some bright color. Linen para
sols heavily embroidered in blind en-
broidery, with perhaps a little open eve
let work scattered through the design,
are as popular as they were last sum-

entirely dried on the body before get

the nerves and the rapidity with which
the blood is drawn TO the surface Of the
skin by the cold IS not good. This same
rule applies 10 salt water bathing. And
many persons who jump into the surf
when very warm and covered with
perspiration often wonder why they feel
rauseated after they have been in a
few minutes.

A special feature Of the Thrice
