ress as to the cost of making good
roads at small expense:
The grading can be done with a
twenty horsepower traction engine at
40 cents per rod on an average. -Four
loads of rubble per rod and two loads
of gravel make good road. The av-
erage number of loads hauled near

six. or course this varies according

out, and for some time to come rising averages will probably be the rule. When it is recalled that the increase in circulation during the last twelve months has been '$195,O00,000, of which nearly $70,000,0OO was added in December it will be apparent that very material increase in the supply of loanable funds is imminent at this center It is also to be considered that hoardings in all parts of the country estimated at over $270 100000, are being released and will soon be restored into circulation. In short, we are rapidly running into period when the supply of funds will be more nearly sufficient for requirements, in view of lower prices and smaller de- mands than year ago. Ordinarily, a redundant currency acts as a great stimulus to stock market values, and no doubt this has been an important element in hastening recovery. It is we'll however, to consider some of the offsets which are likely to counteract any tendency toward excessive mone- tary ease. In the first place, there are many millions of clearing house certificates to be retired; next, the gov ernment must be expected to reduce its enormous deposits with the banks at the first favorable opportunity; then the trust companies, which must now submit to similar regulations as the banks when doing banking busi- ness, will be compelled to increase their reserves and carry them in cash. Again, many demands for new capital which were postponed in the last half of 1907 will certainly be forthcoming at the first opportunity. Some of the railroads are in serious need of funds for the completion of improvements which cannot be delay ed; and considerable maturities and installments on subscriptions will have to be provided for. Finally. any undue ease in money rates would be sure to start an outward movement of gold and thus automatically check exceptional weakness in the money market.

Women have so much to go through In life that 1t is a pity there is so much needless suffering from 'backache, headache, dizziness. lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting. bending and stooping; they are bound by custom to tight. heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise. and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing-down pains, headache, dizzy spells, faintness and lack amb'- ton. Don't think it's some trouble pecuIjar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Arc my kidneys well? The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is a brick dust sediment. or a strinzy settling in tho urine: if passages are too frequent and copious. or scanty and painful. it Is time to begin using Deans Kidney Pills.

FOR STATES FAIRS.
Representatives Meet to See About
 Arranging Dates.

Hartford, Jan 15.--Fifteen presi- dents and secretaries of about q dozen agricultural societies conducting fairs throughout the state met at the board of trade rooms yesterday afternoon and discussed the possibility Of hold ing their fairs on days which would not conflict. so that one or two cir cults could be formed for the greater convenience of attractions.
 Senator Charles A. Gates of Willi- mantle was elected chairman of the meeting and Franklin l.. Wilcox of Berlin, secretary. The project of state fair being held in this city was not discussed, as those present did not see how they could be concerned with the fair, either one way or an other. There seemed to be general wish to arrange the dates on which the country fairs are to be held, so tbat perhaps two circuits can be form ed for the racing as well as for all the other attractions desired. It is believed that if such circuits can be formed, the attractions will be i'm proved. II was finally decided to have the representatives present report to their societies and have the societies, if they wish. appoint delegates which can meet at future date. Senator Gates will have charge of thu core spondence with the societies relative to calling another meeting.

Those who have had much to do with building lines, in the way of putting down sidewalks and putting up houses, will agree with Commis- sioner Scully that the city should do this work. While all civil engineers know their business, or are supposed to, it is just possible for them at times to give a man the wrong lines. If the city does the work the proper ty owner has some legal authority for going ahead with his building or other improvements. If the city engineer does not do this there is bound to be trouble, for there will be variation in the lines, and very often an encroachment on the city or some other property owner. By all means let the city lay out the street and building lines, and then it should be done systematically and right.
