A radical change in the construction

A radical change in the construction
of sleeping cars is proposed, which
will afford all the room and comfort
of a parlor car during the day with
plenty of light, and better ventilation
at night. In this car the berths are
entirely below the floor during the
day. the space being occupied by com
Portable arm chairs which may be
moved about as desired. In making
up a berth the chairs are removed
and tray doors are raised which be-
come the partitions between the sec

sprocket raises one or berth berths
into position. The berths lock secure
ly at any desired height. The COM
pany intends to make no charge for
an upper berth when it is not oc-
cupied, and in such event only one
berth is raised above the floor, leaving
a room unobstructed to the ceiling of
the car.
The occupant can have his berth
at whatever height he desires, like a
low or high bed. says Railway and
Locomotive Engineering. The new
plan enables the porter to make up or
put away the berths in less time than
by the present system in sleeping
cars. In the day, when the beds are

There has been much discussion
about the quantity of alcohol con-
tanned in ordinary bread as the result
of the Preventative process to which
it is subjected before baking. Evil

Youths Companion, but until recently,
it would appear chemists have not
succeeded in accurately measuring it.

based upon the distillation of the
bread to be tested in Papin digester,
has ascertained that ordinary bread
normally contains O75S of gram of
alcohol for every 100 grams of bread,

NEW YEARS CALLS.
a New Drink to Replace the oId-Time
"Apple-Jaek."

twenty-five years ago the custom of
making New Years calls was de-
iightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "eggnog"
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried TO be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of century in the use
OF alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
TO consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom Of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom OF calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning Of
the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in.
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a SEN
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
my daughter and I have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food

SAND AND CLAY ROADS.
A Mixture of Sand Clay, Sand and
Gravel Makes Compact surfaes.

In the state of Minnesota a road on
deep sand with the road bed channeled
out about six inches deep was treated
with a load of clay spread out the
width of the wheel track, and about 16
feet in length. The same day an equal
amount of fine gravel was spread over
the clay. OF course this was a very
thin covering, but after the first heavy
rains the heavy loads passing over
churned the gravel, clay and the UNI
DERIVING loose sand into soft mush,
which, when it dried out and became
packed, made hard composite of
these three materials This Rad has
stood the test of nine years of travel
There were three reasons why this
road was made so cheaply and easily.
First. the grade was level Second,
the sides of the road bed retained the
materials. Third, the sticky nature of
the clay bound together both the
gravel and the fine sand already there
This road proved to be as good as the
average country dirt road and cost less
than 81 per rod
Last year another road was repaired
by using double the amount of clay.

with half as much gravel This road
had a fair foundation The result was
one of the finest roads in the country
The cost was about $3.50 per mile. 1t

much repair
Another very sandy road was re.
paired with a load of loose gravel for
every eight feet. 1t was partial fail.
ure as the gravel did not pack well
Recently gravel intermixed with black
loan has been placed on this road with
good results, making a hard, durable
surface
OF course, where the grade was
steep more material was used and the
road was made more browning to pre-
vent the water from washing out the
track. A piece of road was tried with
clay alone. The clay was put on rather
heavily so that it could not by heavy
loads, cut into the sand beneath. The
sequel was after heavy rains an al
most impossible road. To remedy this
the sand at the sides was scraped and
shoveled on the clay, to the depths of
several inches where it soon became
mixed with the clay, producing a good
surface but not as good as gravel
would have made.
First, from this we infer that very
small quantity of clay mixed with the
sand of the road will greatly inn.
prove it.
Second, that it is a mistake to put a
heavy coat of clay over sand unless an
abundance of gravel can be procured
to mix with it,
Third, that heavy clay roads at times
having bad mud holes can be improved
by adding two or three inches of sand,
which will soon become mixed with
the clay, making it more friable and
| less liable to become muddy and full
of holes.
The gravel was hauled at about an
average distance of 11a miles and the
clay about three-fourths of mile.
The cost of about four miles re-
paired this year and last was nearly
$1,000, or about 1915 per mile
Where the clay is nearby and the
gravel at a considerable distance, most
of the material may be clay but if the
conditions are reversed, gravel should
be the principal material, using enough
clay to bind the materials in hard
solid mass.

A CORRECTION. =

In publishing the Sunday rest
bill" last week we gave it to our
readers in the shape it was
originally introduced in the house
and stated we did not know if it
had been amended. The original
bill, it seems, was too drastic in
many ways and was altered in
many respects, as follows: Sec
ton one was not altered. Sec
ton two was amended to allow
''the sale of Notwithstanding
refreshments, candies and CT
CARS" Section three was chang
ed to read as follows:
"Sec. 8. It shall be unlaw-
full for any person or persons in
this state to keep open on Sun
day any saloon, or place of
any kind or description in which
spirituous, vinous, malt or any
Intoxicating liquors are at any
time sold or offered for sale; or to
give, or sell, or otherwise dispose
of any spirituous, vinous, malt
or any Intoxicating liquors ex-
cept as provided for in other
parts of this act; or to keep open
any theater, play house, dance
house, race track, merry-go-
round, circus or show, concert
saloon, billiard or pool room,
bowling alley, variety hall, or
any such place of public amuse-
ment.
Sections four, five and six Of
the first bill were dropped and
section four of the new one made
to read as follows:
"Sec. 4. 1t shall be unlawful
. for any person or persons in this
state to engage on Sunday in
horse racing.
ANY person or persons violat-
ing this section shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and on conviction
thereof said offender shall be fin
ed in any sum not less than one
hundred dollars ($100.00) or
shall be imprisoned in the county
Jail not to exceed 80 days, or by
both such fine and imprison-
: ment.
Sections five, six and seven
of the new bill are the same as
the last three sections of the bill
as published last week.
The changes noted make the
law much more sensible and we
t believe our readers will be glad
to learn the bill did not pass in
it's original shape.
