Concerning Oranges.

An eminent japanese bacteriOio-
cist has shown that the acids Of
lem ns, apples and other fruits
CIR acid, malic acid-are capable
OF destroying all kinds of disease
germs. Cholera germs are killed
ia Is minutes by lemon or apple
Juice, and typhoid fever germs are
killed in half an hour by these
acids, even when considerably di-
luted. If you squeeze a lemon IN
to a glass of water containing
cholera germs and let il stand 10
or twenty inmates yon may drink
the water With IMMUNITY, as the
germs will be dead, These juices
will kill other disease germs. In
stead Of telling a man to have his
stomach washed out we can now
tell him to drink ORANGE juice
which will cleanse the stomach as

1t would not be fair to close this

not rich. but they are becoming

have shown their interest IN their
children by using the first surplus

TARRING FRENCH ROADS.
After Two Years Application No
More Dust Than on Asphalt

'"The primary object of tarrfng
French roads is for the preservation
OF the surface and only incidentally
for the laying of DUST" says Consul
General Robert P. Skinner, of Mar
settles.
TT seems to me distinctly unfortu-
nate that in the United States so much
stress is laid on the dust problem and
so little on primary construction and
preservation of roads, although 1t is
obvious that well-built and CAREFUL
ly preserved road is necessarily dust
less. The makeshift whereby the COM
mon American dirt road is OCCASION
ally dosed with tar and greases OF
various kinds, on the assumption that
the French method is being followed,
merely defers the proper rebuilding
of our highway system.
ut must be remembered that France
Is already endowed with good roads,
and that whereas in the United States
the automobile has come as an in
strument to awaken interest in the
subject of highway building, it is re-
garded by the French road engineer
as a destructive agent of roads al
ready good. Moving with great We
locity and with closely adhering and
sometimes metal shod tires, the auto
mobile scrapes the fine hard surface
like a file, surfaces which would re-
sist years of ordinary wagon traffic.
To combat these destructive infiu-
ences many of the French engineers
employ the tarring process which aids
powerfully to prevent the disintegra-
ton caused by traffic, and which, un-
less arrested, makes the dust NUTS
ance acute.
ct has settled down to positive
conviction in France that hot tar APP
plications are valuable in proportion
to the excellence of the surface upon
which they are laid.
after two years wear no more dust
Is observable than would be the case
with an ordinary asphalt pavement
receiving the traffic of innumerable
unpaved streets. The surface is in
tact and the sides. where washing
generally occurs, look as fresh and
clean after rain as an asphalt pave
ment."

An effort is being made to build
by private subscription a macadam
road connecting Los Angeles and Pas

about nine miles. and it is claimed
that there are more automobiles own

places of equal size in the world.
There are, also many vehicles belong

was not a candidate for either the
III S selIatorship or for any state
office who did not pledge himself
to do everything in his power, II
elected. to improve the public
schools.
The platforms Of the various
candidates for governor, Attorney
general aud superintendent OF pub
lie instruction were published in
the early siprng, and the dominant
notes in each were better schools
and better roads. By May 1905,
the campaign was in full swing.
In the meantime,a comprehensive
educational program bad been de.
cided upon BY the Cooperative Ed
ucation Commission to occupy the
month Of May and to cover every
county and city. Public men, all
the various candidates for Office,
leading educators and ministers OF
gospel, united in delivering educa.
tional addresses throughout the
state. The newspapers of Virginia
gave invaluable aid to the move
ment. and their interest remains
undated, "a is shown by he fact
that their columns are always open
to the cause of education. This
campaign was conducted in such a
thorough manner that many of
our people who had heretofore
been Indifferent were thoroughly
aroused on the subject of educa-
tiOn.
When the General Assembly met
in January, 1905, the people were
expectant and did not hesitate to
demand rich ful6lmeut of cam
paign promises. The General AS
sembly was ready to crafty these
wishes of the constituents. and
passed some of the most far reach
ing laws that were ever enacted IN
behalf of the schools in Virginia.
These laws briefly stated were!
An act appropriating from The
State Treasury an additional $780,
900 year for the pay of teachers
in the primary and grammar grades
making now 100000 a year SO
contributed, not including state
taxes for schools.
A High School Act, appropriat-
ing $4,000 annually to supple
ment local funds for the establish
ment of high schools that maln'
tanned standard fixed by the state
board.
The Williams building act, which
enables the school trustees to bor-
row money from the literary fund
with which to erect schoolhouses
according TO plans and specltica-
tions to be approved by the Super
iutendent Of Public obstruction.
This money is to be loaned al 4 per
cent, and is to be repaid in ten an
nual instruments.
Other useful measures were pass.
ed. but these were probably the
most important. The General As.
sembly of 1905 appropriated from
the State Treasury 100000 a year
for the next two years for public
edncatiol, exclusive Of the money
\ given to the State Library and The
boys reformatory, both OF whlcf
are educational institutions, anc
are conducted as such,
A new step taken in 1903 was
the appointment of five school ex'
aminers for the state. The gentle
men are agents of the State Boar(
of Education, and are consta:.tll

Trees Along Highways.


Trees break the wind and also as
sist in keeping the road in good con-
dition. Trees also serve as bounda-
ries Or mere stones to mark our State
roads.
Especially are trees planted on long
stretches of macadam roads, where
they occupy an exposed position. The
trees afford shade. and thus allow
the moisture to remain In the road
without any artificial assistance in the
way of sprinkling. This in time will
remove the necessity for sprinkling
the roads, as it has been found that
macadam roads protected by trees re-
tain their shape longer and do not
show wear or break UP as quickly as
do roads not so protected. With our
forests being denuded of trees so rap
idly as they have been during the past
ten years, an emphasis is had to the
wisdom of planting trees along State
highways.

How Roads Are Damaged.

The scraping of clods of vegeta-
BILE matter to the center of the road,
to be left there, is all wrong. The
road is crowned for the purpose OF
shedding water, and if for any reason
the water stands in the road and
works down into the foundation, mud
holes are formed, and the road is dam
aged. These clods do not make road
material, but they do serve to inter-
rupt the flow of storm water to the
cutters, and tend to ruin the road.
The placing of vegetable or worm
out material in the center of the road
compels the travel to make two tracks
and part Of each track will be on the
shoulder Of the road. This results in
ruts and rough places, and consequent
mud-holes.
The road scraper is an excellent ma
chine, and great benefit when wise
ly used, but it requires practical
knowl edge of road building in its
operation or if becomes a great DAM
age.
Cutters and culverts should be
cleaned out early in the season, the
shoulders pared down and the crown
built up so that spring rains will not
soak in or seep under the road. New
material should be placed in low or
WORKOUT places by means of shovel,
and not dumped from the wagon, for
to do this results in compacting, so
that hump is likely to take the placs
of hollow. Wherever a persistent
mud-hole exists, it is wise to seek its
cause in poor drainage, which per-
mits the water to stand under the
surface and honeycomb the founda-
ton, causing the road to break
through.
Let something of permanent ma
ture be done each season on each sec
ton of road, either in the way OF
culverts or bridges or drainage, so
that when the time comes for improv-
fng the macdam or some durable
/ metaling the subgrade will be already
prepared.
