a Cold Compress.

The woman whose throat has a
trick of aching in the morning when
she first arises and remaining trifie
hoarse and sore for the next hour,
should try a cold compress.
It is made out Of wide handker-
chief OF q small towel, folded over
and over wrung out in cold water.
This is bound around the throat for
a few moments. One should be care
full to put piece of flannel or dry
towel over the wet one.
More harm than good is done when
one neglects the dry compress. as the
air striking the wet cloth makes the
throat worse than before.
Another good remedy Is to lean
over the spigots of the bathtub and
slap cold, then hot water, over the
chest and throat with the hands. The
hot and cold should alternate for
about five minutes and then the
throat briskly rubbed with a dry,
rough towel.-New Haven Register.

That Blurred Look.

One housekeepr has discovered
how to rid herself of the blurred,
blush look that does so much to ruin
the appearance of fine mahogany. In
long spell Of damp weather this
blur will come even with the utmost
care and polishing.
To get rid Of it the housewife
mixed about four tablespoonfuls of
household ammonia into half pail
full Of tepid water. With soft,
clean sponge not too wet she washed
off the blurred surface of the wood,
then wiped It dry and polished with
clean piece Of chamois.
The woman who is afraid to use
water on mahogany will be surprised
to learn that it was a favorite meth
cd Of our grandparents whose fine
old furniture has come down to us
in such good condition. Care must
be taken that no water is allowed to
remain on the wood and that 1t is
rubbed to high polish. h.New Haven

&hericasis only at the Be ginning
OF good roads build ngy y There are
$500, 0,900em miles OF pub roads in
the country, Of which 10000 are Of
stone or macadam and 100000 Of
gravel. In many places there are
passing good roads constructed OF the
soil at hand, which Is naturally
adapted to road making.
England expends s90,00o,0o0 a
year on roads, or at the rate OF $500
mile, for all the roads In the coun-
try. The United States expends $780,
100000 annually, or at the rate OF
s38 a mile. England. France and
some other European countries have
the enormous advantage; over this
country that there have been good
roads for a thousand or more years,
and, IN many instances, the admirable
highways have been es firm as rock
from the day the Romans built them.
In this country the distances are
SO enormous, the territory so vast,
the country so new that everything
Is done from the very beginning"
and in spite of the most tremendous
efforts, decades must pass before the
United States may, have a. complete
system of good roads. But the roads
will be built and the work will go
on from this time forth with char
acteristic American rapidity.
The argument for good roads Is
overwhelming. The cost OF hauling
per ton mile on American roads is
from twenty-three to twenty-five
cents; in France, Germany and Eng
land the cost is in the neighborhood
of ten cents per ton mile. In States
enjoying the advantages Of improved
roads the average attendance OF
school children in the country dis
tricts is seTenty-seven per cent, and
in the States with poor roads the av-
srage. is only fifty-three per cent

The Toll of Bad Roads.

Governor Stubs, OF, Kansas, in his
message to the Sunflower Legislature
called attention to the alleged fact
that, according to. the Department OF
.Agricultures figures, the cost of haul
Ing American products to market is
many million dollars in excess OF the
cost OF, hauling the same products
over the fine highways Of Europe.
This is the annual tax Of bad roads.
According to the departments re-
ports, the average cost of hauling
over American roads has been found
10 be twenty-five cents ton q mile.
The cost ON the fine highways of Eu-
rope Is only twelve cents ton a mile.
The average length of haul of farm
products in the United States Is 9.4
miles. Were American roads as good
as the French, the farmers gain
would be 9.4 times twelve cents, or
$1.23 On eacn ton of stuff hauled.
The Interstate Commerce Com1nis-
sion has estimated that $50 0,000,G 600
tons are hauled annually. Dy the Eu-
ropean standard Of roads, the extra
expense entailed In hauling this
amount, reaches s305, 900 a year.
OF course, this burden is distrib-
uted Throughout the whole popula-
don. It costs the farmer 1.S cents
q bushe1 more to haul his wheat
from the farm nine miles to the rail-
road station than it costs to carry the
same bushel 800 miles from New
York to Liverpool. So part Of this
excessive cost goes into the loaf Of
bread. The price of other necessi-
ties of life is increased in the same
way.
b. The increased cost Of living owing
to the bad roads is merely one OF the
facts relating to the public interest

cooperative institution working for
the common welfare, the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
