Need Of Good Roads.

The awakening of the country TO
he need OF good roads has just be-
gun. The next few years will see
some rapid strides in this matter. Two
Of the most potent factors In the
present awakening are the automo-
lie and rural free delivery.
The transcontinental automobile
race, which was pulled off last sum-
ner, resulted in the accumulation of
much valuable information as to the
Dad conditions between New York
,ity and Portland. Oregon. The two
ieven-horsepower runabouts which
contested made the distance OF 1000
niles in A days, demonstrating the
feasibility Of the automobile as a
means of long-distance transportation
The finish of the race was made in
Portland in time for the national good
roads convention.

SPREADING OF SCARLET FEVER
Infectious Agent Retains It's Vitality
For Incredible Time.

In farmhouse In one of the New
England states case of scarlet fever
Unexpectedly developed not long ago.
On seeking for its origin. the physi-
clan found that some old cotton quilts
laid away In the garnet for years, had
recently been taken down and aired
and put to use by the family. These
bed coverings. 1t was remembered.
had been put away after siege of this
disease. This Is only one OF many
instances that could be related to
show how long the infectious agent
retains its vitality and how common a
thing 1t is for scarlet fever to be dis
seminated by bedding and other OBJ
jects These quilts should have been
burned as soon as the first patients
had recovered.
The children OF certain physician
were one day allowed to unlock an
antique secretary that had not been
opened for years. In II they found
tresses of hair that had been cut from.
the head OF children who had died
twenty years before of scarlet fever.
In few days they were both stricken
with this dread disease. The ease
with which this disease is dissem-
mated is appalling. 1t has been known
TO be spread to neighboring house
simply from the airing of bed clothing
in a window. Infected bed clothing
should never be washed with any 9th
er. The disease has been transmitted
in this way. A bouquet OF flowers
that was sent from scarlet fever
room to hospital carried the disease.
