As 10 Better Roads.

In connection with the petition
for a mile of modem public road to
be built in Harrison county by the
county court, which is being clrcu-
lated among taxpayers for sigma
lures. tho following article on bet
ter country roads in West Virginia,
recently published in the editorial
columns of the Parkersburg Sentinel,
may prove to be of interest:
When milk wagons require four
horses to pun them to town, as they
do now, isn't it about time to give
to the subject of good roads the most
serious consideration? The benefits
of good roads are not all to the
farmers and rural people. The city's
share of the prosperity and conven-
fence that result from the building
of good roads is proportionately as
large as that Of country. No one
element OF the population reaps all
the benefits or all the profits. The
direct results so to the farmer, the
Indirect to the traders and town peo-
pie. Farms are made more accessi-
BILE, more desirable more salable and
more comfortable as homes when the
highways are fit for use all the year
round, as comfortable and easily
traversed in the worst of spring
weather as in the best summer, or
fall season. Well made and properly
macadamized roads bring about this
condition wherever they exist. The
prime results and benefits to the
farmer are found in his ability 10
market his products at the time when
they are most in demand and the
prices the highest. He can go to
town for SHOPPING and. trading pur-
poses when the weather is SO bad
that he cannot work on his farm,
Two horses can haul bigger load
over macadamized road than ten
horses can pull through the mud
marshes we now have that arc called
country roads. Perhaps the eompar-
ison is hardly strong enough because
a loaded wagon cannot be pulled
through, tnot over many of our
roads at all at the pre5ent time. An
effort now TO haul a heavily loaded
wagon to market over existing roads
would see Il pulled 10 pieces. No
wagon is strong enough ID hold -
gether to be pulled through me mire
when loaded.
There Is only one accented kind of
a first class country road based upon
the experience of hundreds OF local
titles in different parts OF this country
and Europe, and that is the limestone
macadamized road. Theorists and
experimentalists know OF dozens of
better systems, but experence-the
experience OF hundreds of years-has
never found anything else so good. so
lasting. SO easily kept in repair and
SO cheap 81 first construction as lime
stone maChdam. Good roads is an
old subject and it is always new.
Every recurring spring season calls
for sermons and preachmentS about
them, and as soon as the dry roads
of summer are here good roads as
a fact and permanency are forgot
ten. On this subject the farmers
are not unlike the Arkansas Traveller,
who did not repair the roof OF his
house when It vas raining bec9usc
then he couldn't work, and he didn't
cause then It didn't need 1t. In the
spring time when the roads are inn
nassable every one clamors for good

BEST GARMENTS FOR THE BABY
overdreseins is in the Worst of BAD
Taste-Simpiicity and Conn
fort Things Always to
Be Considered.

Sewing for the baby demands the
very best efforts OF the practiced
needlewoman. 1t calls for her tiniest
stitches in seam and hem and tuck,
her most exclusive taste in the selec-
ton of dainty trimmings and her best
of good sense in designing clothes
with a view to comfort and conven-
fence to the small wearer.
To be overdressed is an acknowl-
edged breach of good taste. and an in
nocent baby, burdened with long and
heavy clothes, which in their turn are
ladened with elaborate and weighty
trimmings, is an object worthy of the
plying consideration OF those kind
hearted people whose vocation it is to
protect helpless infants from inhuman
| treatment.
Some babies-and this in the very
best families-wear slips. to the ex-
clusion of dresses, the latter being re-
served for "ceremonious" occasions,
such as christening.
A good all-round material for babies
slips is English nainsook. 1t is soft
and pliable, launders prettily and
wears well. A very good quality can
be bought for rs cents the yard Ia
trife cheaper by the piece.
There comes finer quality, as well
as less expensive one. but the grade
quoted above is good for general wear.
The petticoats may be made of Eng.
lish nainsook, and this material is
quite suitable, too. for dresses
Fine longcloth is sometimes used for
slips and petticoats.
Ideal material for the christening
robe is handkerchief linen. Batiste is
charming and so is French nainsook.
The most appropriate trimming for
baby clothes is hand embroidery in the
daintiest of designs and little lace
fine in quality and pattern.
Hemstitching or Misunderstanding Is
sufficient adornment for the simple
clothes Join the seams with entire
deux when practical.
Flannel or outing flannel makes nice
little 'nighties" for cold nights. SILK
and wool flannel is more satisfactory
than all wool, as II does not shrink
with the many necessary washings.
Cashmere is good for the cloak, and
silk may be used. For summer there
are lingerie cloaks with lining of In
dia silk to add warmth. These have
the double advantage of being daintily
attractive and at the same time wash
able.
Caps may be of muslin or silk.
Great care should be taken that the
wee baby is neither Inconvenience
nor hurt by buttons or pins. One
young mother kept her sewing baske
beside the baby basket. Each morning
she sewed Mr.. Baby up in his clothes
and each night she ripped him out.

DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE CHIN
Exercises and Applications That VIII
Strengthen the Muscles VIII
Restore Good APP
pearance.

Double chins are of various kinds.
There is the chin which is simply too
fat. Then there is the double chin
which is caused by the shortness of
the neck and the habit of carrying the
chin too low. And again, there is the
chin which merely looks double be-
cause Of faulty dress. as by wearing
collars too tight
The necklace calls attention to the
double chin. Before putting on
necklace the woman with q fat chin
should massage it downward. She
should take the palm of her hand and
stroke the tip of her chin with Wig
Orous stroke.
Then she should rub right down
from the end of the chin to the dip
in the throat.
Alcohol strengthens the muscles of
the neck. Dash your throat with alco-
hol and massage it downward. An
other excellent massage for remov-
ing the double chin is the ice massage.
Press the ice securely upon the flesh
and massage down. A dozen treat
ments will cure the worst case mag
Unable.
The throat of the young girl is slim
and her head sits upon her neck as
upon pedestal. Her shoulders are
sloping and her whole appearance is
study in curves: her neck is but n
stem which supports her head. But
as she grows older the throat thickens
from neglect, the curved chin becomes
square and under the chin there come

and you will get some idea of neck
and chin exercise.
Dancing is the best exercise for a
double chin. The head Is thrown to
one side and the neck is made supple.
The Spanish dances and the so-called
skirt dances are good for the exercise
of the neck muscles.
An exercise practiced by actresses
is that OF touching the ear to the
shoulder. Each day the ear is rubbed
upon the shoulder half dozen times
in quick succession until the neck is
supple.
You should be able to span your
throat with your thumbs and first
fingers. Touch your thumbs together

burst In upon him while he was at

nevertheless struggled to his feet and

be so. In Natal within the past four

the suicide rate in England and Wales,

LYDIA e. PiNKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received SO many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia T.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia +. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananyda may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia f. Pink

successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
