For the Cause Of Good Roads.

Month by month the movement for
good roads grows in Kentucky. The
permanent organization this week of
the Kentucky Good Roads Associa-
ton crystallizes into a definite, dy-
manic force the sentiment that has
been expanding in the State. The
association, formed of representa-
tives from the width and length of
the State, constitutes a body of posi-
bilities and promise. Primarily formed
for the development of support for
the proposed amendment of the Con-
stitution as embraced in the Bos-
worth bill, it's aim is necessarily to
arouse among the entire population
realization of the Importance to
Kentucky agriculture, commerce,
comfort, wealth and life itself of the
construction and maintenance of
smooth, well surfaced and complete
highways. A poor county can be
more surely kept poor by bad roads
than by any other medium, for pow

same token, the rich county may be-
come poor by neglect of it's highways
or be preserved in their wealth by
jealous care of them. These are not
theories, but facts, provable by the
statistics. All the world is awaken
ing to the inestimable value of good
roads, as Kentucky has lately shown
a disposition to do. Kentucky is
really somewhat tagging in the task.
European countries and some of the
other American States have been de-
veloping systems of rural boulevards

With such body as the Kentucky
Good Roads Association laboring
zealously and determinedly the re-
suit should be ultimately a splendid

have influence with voters. 1t will
have weight with the Fiscal Courts,
which have charge of the highways.
And so it ought to accomplish what
has not been feasible before Per-
sons concerned in the material uplift
of Kentucky should be grateful to
the men backing the association. and

New York City.-After spending

allegations that have been brought
against certain officials in the employ
of the Canal Commission, j. H. Col
Inns returned from Colon, en- route
for Washington, D. c., to make his

Mr.. Collins said last month was a
record one for the amount of money
sent to the United States by men en-
ployed along the canal. He found
them all in good spirits and fond of
baseball, bowling, tennis, rowing,
and all kinds of healthy outdoor
sports. Gambling is not popular nor
drinking to any extent, Mr.. Collins
found, and this had been so marked
during the last year that many of
the saloon and gambling house pro-
prietors in Colon and Panama have
closed up and gone to pastures new.
The health of the employees as
whole was good, he said, and the
labor conditions at the present time
satisfactory. Excellent food at cost

Road Preservation.

1t is interesting and gratifying
that the need heretofore pointed out
in these columns for some new sur
facing for macadam roads to prevent
their being sucked apart by automo-
bile tires is recognized in the ener-
getic adoption of remedies by the city
and county. These may be yet in
the experimental stage, but their
early results together with the re-
ported experience of other cities give
good hope that the problem will be
adequately solved.
The county has applied either the
asphaltic crude oil or the prepara-
tons for oiling with solutions of bit
umen or tar to several of its roads,
with the result so far producing a
compact surface without the loss of
fine limestone in the form of dust.
The bitulithic surfacing on a portion
of the Grant boulevard has up to this
time maintained that severely tested
highway in excellent shape. A cor
poration producing one of the prep
arations for road surfacing sends The
Disptach this formula for the treat
ment of maca6am roads that have
undergone some loss of the necessary
binding material: First, bring the.
surface to the required grade and
crown with new stone. Then apply
one to one and half gallons of the
surfacing solution per square yard of
road surface. Surface this with one
cubic yard Of clean, three quarter
inch screenings to each fifty feet of
road surface, and roll to smooth end
harden. This is claimed to establish
a permanent, waterproof and dust
less surface at a minimum of cost.
The crucial test of these remedies
is in the lapse of time and the Sue
cess with which they resist the frosts
of winter. Next spring we shall be
able to judge more accurately wneth-
er the roads so protected will prove
reasonably permanent. 1t will be a
great gain if, as experiments else
where indicate, they furnish the ele-
ment of permanence, which, under
the new uses, was seriously threat
ened.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

JAPAN'S CORDIAL WELCOME.
The Reception of the American Fleet Elaborate
Perfectly Carried

Toxic, Japan.-The reception ac-
corded the American Atlantic fleet by
the Government and people of Japan
is conceded by the American naval
officers to be the heartiest and most
perfectly carried out of the many re-
ceptions received by the fleet since it
sailed from Hampton Roads. Rear
Admiral Sperry said that he was ut
terly unable to say how it had been
accomplished, but that the welcome
given the fleet and it's officers and
men here had been so carefully
planned and carried out to the most
minute details that lasting impression
has been stamped upon the mind of
every American who has witnessed
it.
1t is impossible to doubt the sim
certify of the japanese. The Ameri-
can officers and sailors are already
beginning to understand the fact that
the evident desire on the part OF the
Japanese for the friendship Of Amer
ica is not founded upon opportunism,
but finds its source in sincere wish
to show that such friendship, at least
on the part of the Japanese, has ex-
listed always, and that this visit of the

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well With Change Of
Food,

a great scientist has said we can
put off "old age" if we can only nour-
ish the body properly.
To do this the right kind of food,
of course, is necessary. The body
manufactures poisons in the stomach
and intestines from certain kinds of
food stuffs and unless sufficient of the
right kind is used. the injurious ele-
ments overcome the good.

it. She could not keep anything on
her stomach for more than few min

teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she
took little more until she could take

Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old. and we

thrilling adventures I have ever
heard, His companions, two Ameri.

last anuary.
The Baron described the San Bias
country as being very rich and the
natives warlike. He was certain
there is plenty of gold back in the
mountains, IS the Indians traded for
merchandise in gold nuggets, which
had evidently been washed down
some mountain stream. He said that
the difficulties to be encountered in
the San Bias country were very great,
as there were no roads at all, the only
means of travel being by canoes
and navigating tortuous waterways,
where an exploring party could be
easily ambushed. In addition to the
Indians there was the malignant
black-water fever to be contended
with.
1.-THE Baron is making monthly ex-
petitions into the San Bias country
on behalf of the Panama Govern
ment to teach the natives how to get
rid of the swarms of locusts that de-
stroy their crops. He stays in as
long as his provisions last. He is &C.
companied by his brother, q Heidel-
berg student. The baron said it
would be perilous for any white man
to attempt to reach the mountains in
search of the gold, as the natives
have never allowed any strangers to
penetrate into the interior. He was
only there ON suffrance, and had to
be always on the alert. Their coun-
try is rich in coal and all kinds of

Signs OF Long Life.

Every person, according to medi-
cal writer, bears physical indications
Of his prospects of a long or short
life. THE primary conditions of
longevity are that the heart, lungs,
and digestive organs, as we'll as the
brain should be large. If these or
gans are large the trunk will be long
and the limbs comparatively short.
The person will appear tall in sitting
and short in standing. The hand
will have long and somewhat heavy
palm and short fingers. The blue
or brown hazel eye, as showing an
lntermission of temperament, is a
favorable indication. The nostrils, if
large, open, and free, indicate large
lungs A pinched and half-closed
nostril indicates small or weak lungs.
