health might be mentioned as the in
stigators Of youthful invalidism, such
as the lack of proper moral training
and the development Of the habits of
self-control, thus preventing waste of
nerve energy from brain storms of
passion and any over emotional eI-
element, over work at school, want
Of proper sleep and too much OF in
door, sedentary work, want of fresh
air in the sleeping rooms and lack Of
some healthful occupation which will
give normal exercise to mind and
body. But the article would be too
long to more than indicate these
causes of Juvenile i'll health. 1t may
be safely stated that the great major
ity Of weakly, ailing children can be
cured because their feebleness is due
to some avoidable cause which can be
overcome by suitable treatment.

French VS.. American Roads.

All the principal French highways,
Or national routes" OF which there
are %, ,656 miles, are constructed and
maintained by the National Govern
ment, which has expended on them
over $300,000,00O. The superiority
of these roads over those constructed
Or maintained by the local authorities
Is very marked, but even the local
roads are kept in good condition, so
that the standard French road is one
upon which in rolling country
draft horse hauling a load OF 1900
pounds is expected to travel about
twenty miles per day. This fact alone
would serve to indicate the differ
ence between the roads in France and
those of the United States, where the
load hauled by one horse over the
average level country road Is only
140 pounds, and on roads with five
per cent. grades only 1000 pounds.
A beginning has been made in
small way in this country by the Bu-
reau OF Public Roads OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture TO
introduce the methods by which the
French road system has been so salts
Iactorily developed. The organization
Of this bureau, and the fundC at It's
disposal are, however. wholly made
luate. what is needed IS a National
Highways Commission, which shall
have general powers TO promote the
construction and Improvement OF the
public roads, and for which liberal
appropriations should be made by
Congress. The National Governments
cooperation in this matter will great
" stimulate action by the various
state, county and township authori-
lies, and will result in the establish-
nent OF a complete system Of proper
y constructed roads, rivalling those

Culture and Strength.

or late the athletic girl is to the
fore, but DR.. Kate Lindsay, in the
Housekeeper, says that there is new
erth eless a darger from parents
thinking that culture is removed from
strength. Disease suggestions by
fond, and unwise parents, especially
mothers, are often the cause of many
cases OF weakness and i'll health. This
is especially true in the cases of girls
who are often made to believe from
the cradle up to adult life that it is
an evidence Of culture and refinement
to be delicate and aiing. This senti-
ment prevailed very extensively a half
century ago. While IL is not as po-
tent an influence for evil at present,
yet it is the experience Of the physi-
clan that many ailing young school
girls owe their acquired weakly, in
valid habits to the fact that they
have become self-centred from trying
to practice the unwise exercise re-
strictions of their over anxious moth
ers. Fix the idea on the mentality of
any girl that she is elected to be an
invalid and in nine cases out of every
ten she will live up to the idea and
succeed to the ancient colored wom-
ans condition, who enjoyed i'll
health" Many other causes of i'll

As LAWYERS Clerks.

Great interest was shown in the
two women who were in attendance
in Mr.. Justice Neville court during
the hearing of the action concerning
the identity of Mrs. Taylor, the bank
ers widow.
Neatly dressed in blue, the two,
armed with documents which they
placed in front of them on the solicit
ors' bench, keenly followed every
point in the case, and whenever called
on to produce a document whisked
out the right paper in the twinkling
of an eye. They also made notes,
gave hints to counsel and in every
way attended strictly TO business.
They were in the employment of Mr..
Ballard, of Cliffords Inn, one of the

But l think / know what lies at the
root of the trouble. She is not the
real Miss Blank at all, bu: only an
imitation"
What do you nean?" was the
astonished question, while visions of
an impositor masquerading under
the name Of an absent girl hoated
through her mind.
Again her friend laughed. ooh,
not that she is not the actual indi-
vidual, but that she ,ries to be diff
ferent from what she really is. Did
YOU ever notice that she laughs
affectedly almost exactly like Miss
Bee, and tosses her head like Jennie
Williams, and says Really, how
funny just like Sue Brown-and
lots of other things like other people? ?

Good Roads and Population.


Encouragement for good roads
comes from the Fredericksburg Even.
ing Journal. which states with power.
full effect the heavy and intolerable
burden which bad roads lay upon n
community Our contemporary noted
a special telegram 10 The Times-Dis-
patch from Farmyille. stating that
the voters were preparing to pass on
the question OF issuing $4,000 for
the building Of macadam roads. The
telegram further stated:
THE people of Prince Edward
have learned the advantages Of mac
adam roads from the one leading
from Farmville 10 Hampd Sidney.
and shorter roads OF like character
in other parts of the country are de-
sired"
In commenting on this the Fred
ericksburg Journal makes terrific
argument for good roads by using
the census reports for Spottsylvania
County. Says the Journal:
Take a glance at the census re-
port, and see how our population is
steadily decreasing. In 1860 the re-
port shows population Of 1906,
while in 1870 there was only II ,72S:
which could be accounted for in part
by the ravages OF war and other OBJ
structing factors. But in the next
thirty years, from 1870 to 1900.
when all other portions OF the South
have been showing signs OF increas-
ing prosperity, our country, instead
OF showing any gains. shows fall
ing Off In population of 2491, or over
twenty per cent To say that bad
roads is not TO a great extent respon-
sible for this, would be idle talk; for
IL is a fact patent TO every observer
that numbers OF people have come
here TO look at our lands with the In
tention of purchase, but the condi-
ton Of the roads have blocked tho

Fredericksburg has water and rail
transportation. 1t is connected di-
rectly with Washington and Rich

Is salubrious, and the soil is not in

make the farms OF that section blos-
som like the rose except good roads.
and these can be had II the local
communities will show a willingness
to grasp the situation. But two
things are first necessary: n plan for
the whole county, under the direc-
ton of one man, and enough money
to do more than fill the few mud
holes. whose temporary effacement
has heretofore been regarded as the
sole duty Of road-builders.
Virginia is throwing away millions

farm products by making IT, impos-
sible TO deliver these products on

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia f. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and etfica-
cious than any combination of fdrugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much TO me that for the sake
of other suffering women | am willing
TO make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time ! had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times |
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
