-Draa ging the roads is one OF the
best treatm ants they can be gwen,
but in most cases the treatment is
not given at the right time. The
dragging should be done when the
surface of the road is in a plastic
state and then the action of the sun
will leave the ground baked and this
condition will remain all summer.
Dragging the road when the surface
is dry enough TO pulverlze has no
other effect then to smooth the road.
Remember this when you go on the
road with your drag and be sure that
you get out before the surface is dry.
Persons under the age OF 10
years will hereafter be prohibited
from smoking cigars, cigarettes. or
tobacco in any form, in public places
unless accompanied by parent or
legal guardian. The assembly DILL
to this effect, after suspension OF
the rules, was concurred in by the
senate. For the first violation OF
this law, the penalty will be SO or
thirty days in Jail, and for repeti-
ton of such offense, the fine Will be
$25 or 80 days.

corn is beginning to make up for
lost growth.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change q
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesScS which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.

A PRODUCT OF MILK.
Galalith Is So Strong You Could Build
n HOusR With

Galaiith Is So Strong You Could Build
n House With 1t.
You could build house of milk If
you liked, and it would be as strong
and lasting as though made of Aber-
deem granite, says NJ. Glen Fling in
Technical World Magazine. Moreover,
all the fittings could be made of the
same substance, and they would out
live the finest ordinary material that
was ever constructed.
Billiard tables, combs, fancy boxes
and many other things are made from
galalith, which is made from milk.
There is really no limit to the arti-
cles which can be made from galalith.
1t takes dyes readily, and inferior
grades are colored. The best remain
white, however, for white galalith
brings the highest price because Of its
similarity to ivory. The first grade of
galalith is made up into knife handles,
and it brings almost as high a figure
as would so much ivory.
Galalith is the best substitute for
ivory ever discovered, for it is smooth
to the touch, retains its soft, creamy
tinting for years, is not married by soap
and water and unlike celluloid, is
proof against fire. 1t does not chip or
crack like bone and can be cut into the
most delicate shapes, being tough and
not easily broken.
