Covered Whole Head and Neck After an Attack of Measles s-Hair All Came Out Doctors Treatment Had No EHect-SufFered 6 Months
CURED IN 3 WEEKS BY CUTICURA COSTING $1.50

After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly cores about as large as 8 penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. let the trouble run along, taking the doctors blood rem edies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed big difference, and in three weeks 1t was well entirely and have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, consider myself cured. I used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, one box Of Cuticura Ointment, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap. I think it splendid medicine, and I recommend it whenever l can.

~ recent magazine writer In writ
ing an article on the pEre milk cam
paign at Rochester, refers to the
names of numerous diseases OF the
digestive organs from which children
die, as interesting euphemism for
intanticide due to that modern
Borgia, maternal ignorance. While
it may be true that these diseases
are due ofen times to maternal igno-
rance, it is not becoming in any man
to speak contenptuously of igno-
rance in women. Men have been
too anxious to keep them in igno-
rance to speak slightingly Of their
their success in so doing-but to
speak OF maternal ignorance as a
" modern Borgia I is indeed
an insult that should not be
passed by unnoticed. Anyone who
is at all acquainted with the history
OF women knows what a struggle
they have had to be allowed to learn
anything at all, and during those
dark days Of complete eclipse OF one
halt OF the worlds population, who
ever heard of "pure milk campaigns"
or "clean city campaigns or any
other struggle for moral and physical
cleanliness? The modern activity of
women, quietly working in the face
of great opposition has brought
about every great reform relating to
the moral and physical betterment
of the country, a fact one would not
guess from reading the manly ~
magazine articles on such subjects.
Possibly it is true that women of this
generation are not so strong as their
grandmothers. If SOFT shows that
our grandmothers did not possess
the wisdom and intelligence necessary
TO bring up sound healthy children,
but thanks to the determined efforts
of women strong enough to face the
opposition OF men and ignorant
women, we are learning that out
door air and freedom make better
mothers than eorsets and parlor
wall flowers. Statistics prove that
the death rate of children has de-
creased greatly in the last ten years;
that the girls OF today are, as arule,
taller, stronger and more athletic
than their mothers. Does that look
as though maternal ignorance is a
"modern Borgia'? Rather it is
evidence that maternal ignorance is
"a Borgia OF the past, which in the
light of the new development Of
women will soon trouble us no more.

EI.EvATINe ROAD GRADER.

east and west. A person wishing to
cross the country in any other than
these directions, must necessarily do so
in rectangular zigzags. 1t also neces-
States very often the crossing and re-
crossing of hills and valleys which
might be avoided if the roads had been
constructed on scientific principles.
Iii the prairie state of Iowa, for ex-
ample. where roads are no worse. than
in many other states, there Is a great
er number of roads having much Steep
er grades than are found in the noun
tainous republic of Switzerland. IN
Maryland the old stagecoacl, road or
turnpike running from Washington to
Baltimore makes almost "bee fine,n
regardless Of hills or valleys and the
grades at places are as steep as 10 or
y per cent where by making little de-
tours the road might have been made
perfectly level or by running it up the
hills least abruptly the grade might
have been reduceda to 3 or 4 per cent,
as is done in the billy regions of many
parts of this and other countries.
Straight roads are the proper kind to
have, but in hilly countries their
straightness should always be sacri-
feed to obtain a level surface, SO as to
better accommodate the people who
use them.
Graceful and natural curves conform
ing to the lay Of the land add beauty
to the landscape, besides enhancing the
value OF the property. Not only do lev
el curved roads add beauty to the land
scape and make lands along them
more valuable, but the horse is able
to utilize his full strength over them.
Furthermore, a horse can pull only
four-fifths as much ON grade Of two
feet in 100 feet. This gradually lessons
until with grade of ten feet in 100
feet he can draw but one fourth as
mulch as he can. on level road.
All roads should therefore wind
around hills or be cut through instead
Of running over them, and. in many
cases the. former can be done without
greatly Increasing the distance. To
illustrate, if an apple or pear be cut
in half and oneof, the halves placed on
q fat surface 1t, will be seen that the
horizontal distance around from sten
to blossom Is. no greater than the dis
tance overs between. the same points.

1t IS deplorable enough to find
men who uphold the liquor traffic
but even the saloon keeper loses re
pect for the woman who defends the
neiarious trade. It is well for wo-
man to be broad minded, and liberal
in her views, but let her stop short
ot.any compromise or palliation Of
vice in any form. There should be
no double moral standard; but that
does not mean lower standard for
woman. Civilization demands of
her, purity and strength, for only by
her steadfast regard. for cleanness
and virtue will the world be lifted to
higher plane.

TALE or WIDE TIRES.

= eli D.
PRACTICAL Plan For Highway Super.
visors to Follow.
A good and practical suggestion tc
road supervisors and others who have
charge of road maintenance may be
found in the following tale of the use
of the wide instead of the narrow tires
says the Good Roads Magazine. The
story was told to Paul d. Sargent,
highway commissioner Of the state OF
Maine, by a county commissioner OF
the same state:
The heavy teaming in our town is
confined mainly to the three miles OF
dirt road, over which lime rock is haul
ed from the qllarries to the kilns This
teaming has been done for years on
two and five-tenths inch tires, with
hind wheels hfty-siX inches and front
wheels fifty inches in diameter.
''Ihe resulting repairs, made neces-
sary by the continual hauling of heavy
loads on narrow tires, has cost this
town thousands of dollars. In order
that this might be remedied we made
an agreement with the lime rock haul
ers to furnish them with the wide tired
wheels fitted to their wagon axles,
with the understanding that If upon
fair trial and experiment they should
prove to be of mutual advantages the
haulers should buy the wheels of the
town
On consultation with the manufac-
turers we ordered the sizes above
siselfsss:s.ear wheels, fifty-six inches;
front, fifty inches, They arrived
about the LIST of July, 1905, and
from that time until about the 21st of
August used my best endeavors to
get them adjusted to the wagons and
used, but the haulers claimed that the
forty-four inch wheels were so much
lower than the old ones that the rocks
and ruts would .trig' them; also that
they would lower the body so much
that the tongue would stat and bseak
the horses legs. And who will pay.
the damage? was the question
AS a last resort we put the wheels
on one OF their wagons and hauiea;
.rcck for them one. day Cur teamster
hauled the same loads and followed in
the old tracks. The road was in a
very dangerous condition at this time
and badly rutted, SO that even light
driving wagons sank to their hubs in
some places. The wide tires soon filed
the ruts so that the wagons with the
narrow tires actually hauled more rock
on the last or fourth turn that day
than they did in the morning.
"After seeing the work OF these
wheels for one day the owner of the
wagon wanted the whole equipment
Immediately, and applications for the
other three sets came so fast that we
were unable to shift the gearing quick
IL enough. In fact, one teamster drove
his team for a week without brakes In
order to have the wide tires sooner.
Since that time the wheels have been
in constant use summer and winter.
At the time of this writing the
same amount of rock is hauled in three
turns that was formerly hauled per
day in four turns by the same teams,
and the drivers claim that the work is
done easier by the horses. The sand
stretch which was the hardest place
for the narrow tires is now crossed
easily

All the important roads in the United

sless changes are made in the location
sof the roads In many parts of the Unit

ITO macaGuinize them. ANY costly re-
ssurfacing of the existing roads will

difficulty in the United States is not
with the surface, but with the> steep
grades. many of which are too long
Eto be reduced by cutting and filing on
3fhe present lines, and if this could be
done it would cost more in many cases
than relocating them, says Motor News
Many of our roads Were originally

remain today where they We're located
years ago, and where untold labor, ex-

trying to haul over them and in en-

The great error is made of continu-
ing to follow these primitive paths
with our public highways. The right
course is to caHtin an engineer and
throw the road around the end or
along the side of, steep hills instead of
continually going over them or to pull
the road up on dry solid ground In
stead of splasliing through the mud
