DUST PREVENTION ON ROADS.
Application of Tar Being Tried in the
Vicinity Of Troy, N. Y.

A modification of the common meth
cd of using tar on a public highway
for the purpose of laying dust is re-
ported from the vicinity of Troy,
New York state. The experiment is
being tried by State Engineer Van
Alstyne, in village of considerable
size. The first step is to sprinkle hot
tar on the road, and then to fill up
low spots with screenings. When the
surface has been well packed by
teams, a second application is made.
The job is not considered complete,
though, until there has been third
coating. Before being used, the tar Is
boiled to drive off any water it may
contain.
This road is much used by automo-
biles. whose owners found the dust
as unpleasant as did the local resi-
dents, and consequently two classes
of people are watching the expert
ments carefully. The extraordinary
increase everywhere in the number
of horseless carriages of late has
made the suppression of dust as i'm
portant to their drivers as TO resi-
dents along the roads frequented by
them. Formerly the man in an auto
mobile did not appreciate what a
nuisance this dust was, but now that
many cars are running over each
good road there is no longer any
tendency to deny that these vehicles
are responsible for somewhat Sc
rious action on the surface of the
highway, and that steps should be
taken to prevent it. 1t is not wear
in the usual sense of the term, but
rather suction, and as its effect can
be checked by the same means that
are used to lay dust, the Importance
of these experiments can be readily
appreciated.

Austrian Nuns Of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.

The FIRST LADY, In the Austro-Hun
garian court is now the abhess Of the
Theresian Convent Of the Noble La
dies in Prague, a position which Is
always held. by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciats. the
present abbess, who is niece Of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
Of first lady through the widowhood
Of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
Of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live a very different
life from what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play leading
part In the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the alb
hey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera Each noble lady
is paid $500 year, while the abbess
has a salary of 100000 When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with a ribbon OF

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of great western state

conwcTs AND GOOD ROADS.
Suggestion That the Labor Of the For
ner Be Utilized In This Way.

In nearly all sections Of the country
the necessity Of better roads Is fully
appreciated, yet the problem Of secur'
ing them is continuing a difficult one
Farmers are too busy in most sections
most Of the year to devote all the time
necessary to make the roads what they
should be, though there Is much I'M
provement since the use OF the split
log drag and similar devices has De-
come more common.
Figures recently issued on the re-
suits of convict labor in American
prisons carry with them suggestion
Of what might be accomplished TOR
the betterment of roads II some OF the
labor performed by convicts should
be devoted in that direction, says chi
cago Sun. II is shown that convicts
in America produced $34,276,2O5 worth
Of manufactured goods last year. BOOTS
and shoes came first, with . value OF
IS, 1921, 500, with clothing next at ~
644,511. There were S,341 convicts en-
ployed at farming, producing $s,9S3,'
S75 worth Of farm products, while 81
507 worked on roads and highways,
giving value of $1,657,17O. Missouri
led, her 1873 convicts earning value
of $2,451 ,939. The average cost OF
keeping convict one year Is given as
follows: Food, $51.6S; clothing, $1S.O2;
guarding, $500.
Manufacturers who have invested
money in plants naturally have strong
objections to the competition they are
compelled to meet from prison-made
goods. There is no question that they
seriously interfere with regular trade
in many lines. One case Is reported
where in a prison the yearly make per
convict is 1879 pairs of shoes. or 40
pairs more than the average daily out
put in free labor factories.
Should more of the convict labor be
employed in the work of improving
our public roads the general public
would be benefited rather than Few
labor contractors who secure big serv-
ice from state convicts. In-that way
they would compete less with free Ia
Dor than in any other line. The slogan,
Good roads made by bad men" has
been taken up and should be given
more general attention in every state.

each officer attended by the one re-

On the floor of the hall were the
members of the house of representa-

relatives and invited friends OF the
new officers. The galleries were
opened to the general public.
After all the officers had been

Reckless Farming.

Reckless farming is the kind Of
farming that is carried on without re-
gard to future consequences. 1t is the
kind Of farming that has rendered
many nations poor urtil recent de-
cades 1t was more due to ignorance
than to spendthrift tendency to get
all possible good out of the soil today
without regard to what might happen
tomorrow. Now that men can know
what Is the best course to follow. that
course should be followed steadily. A

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 1G. An
important decision affecting the in
depreciation of the earthquake clause
in insurance policies was rendered
today in the United States circuit
court by Judge Whitson in the suit

cial Union Assurance Company, of
London. Judge Whitson sustained
an objection made against the intro
duction of testimony showing that
the destruction of property was due
to the Gripping of the water main
by the earthquake and in rendering
the decision he said:

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of ORDER
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old FAM
lily remedy, Brandreth'S Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

American IdeaIlsm.

Since my first arrival In America
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the loftiest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him a far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight OF the
keenest statesmen and thinkers OF his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, IN

A striking appeal to the well-to-do
owner of motor car who exceeds the
speed limit was made recently by the
police commissioner Of Boston. The
number of policeman is limited. When
they are detailed to watch motor car
drivers they are withdrawn from their
proper duty of guarding homes and
preventing disorder. Business men
and professional men rich enough
to own motor cars, have property
which needs police protection. They
sacrifice part Of this protection, says
Youths Companion, by keeping some
of the police on the watch for their
ofienses against the road laws.

One group of government employees,
at least, must be admitted to do their
work at small expense. The engineers
Of the land Office during the last fiscal
year surveyed 100000 acres Of public
land at an average cost of four and
one.half cents an acre. Even this is
an increase over the expense in pre-
yious years, which has been three
and one-half and four and one-third
cents. The reason is that most Of
the level, accessible and easily sur
veyed land has been disposed OF. That

seouently the cost is greater.

When the ceremony was completed
the new and old officers spent some
time in receiving the congratula-
tions of their friends. This ended
the inaugural ceremony.
This evening in the rotunda Of the
state house the public reception was
held for the new officers. The re-
ceiving line was on the second floor
which had been tastefully decorated
with bunting, palms and potted
plants. All entrances to the state
house were closed except the one In
the north wing. In going to the re-
celving line persons were required to
reach the east stairway wing Al
the crowd passed down the line they
were introduced to each Of the new
officers and their wives and to the
outgoing officers. The receiving line
extended almost the entire distance
around the rotunda. After leaving
the rotunda the public was privi-
legged to wander about the building
as they choose.

ira furnished by the Commercial
Club, performed.

Rev. Newberry Brings Conviction to
Hearts of His Hearers.

For, plain. outspoken and convin-

berry, noted Virginia evangelist.
who is conducting series Of revival
services in the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, at Milton. surpasses
any previous record in the evangelistic
line. For fen days he has conducted
the meetings there and although much
interest has been manifested through
out and the church crowded every
night, no substantial feeling was
aroused until Sunday morning.
After a masterful sermon of almost
one hour and thirty minutes several
members Of the congregation were so
moved that they arose and, in the old
style Methodist fashion began to shout
and sing. So great was the emotion
of those present that there was scarcely
dry eye among the vast throng Of
listening people and several came
forward and knelt at the alter, seeking
forgiveness for their sins.
