SAND I'M ROAD BUILDING.

Col. w. F. Baker, Council Bluffs
man, has a prescription for road
building which he declares will resist
washing from heavy rains without
great expense. He holds that any COM
mon soil well mixed with sand will
make road which is practically I'M
pervious to water. He says:
ITO make good road, take two or
three inches of good sand, such as is
suitable for plaster, with an equal
amount of hill clay, black soil or
gumbo. Thoroughly mix these ingredi,
ents, have the roadbed solidly com
pacted, spread the mixed sand and
soil in pinch layers, thoroughly rolling
each layer before the next is applied
in order that the whole mass may be
rendered as solid as possible, and you
will have a splendid road that will be
impervfous to water.
I'VE made test of this plan at a
point where the water ran through q
culvert onto the road with great force
1t had no effect whatever on the road
which had been built in this way.

PREVENTION AND CURE.

The New York state commissioner
Of public health has just issued a re

The public health. Prevention and elm,
nation, he says, are the processes
employed, where formerly the health
department gave most of its atten'
tion to the cure of diseases after they
had appeared. The commissioner goes
On in his report to say:
THE old way has been expensive
and deadly. Its central thought was to
cure disease, not to prevent it. 1t made
no attempt to protect communities. Its
highest conception was to take care
of individuals after they became dis
eased., So came our public hospitals
asylums, dispensaries and other char
table institutions. But we realize now
that we can do better than merely try
to cure or care for the sick
We know now that if we dc
the things we ought to do we
can prevent sickness. We have
reached a point where it is recognized
that it is the duty of the community
or state to effectually protect itself
against the ignorant the selfish the

THE LONESOME cYcLlsr.

A Chicago man has written letter
to the Tribune which calls attention
anew to how completely the bicycle
has been banished The Tribune cor
respondent writes:
in all my experience there has
been no enc thing that enjoyed more
or miss as much as the good old cycl-
ing days. At the time the first
safety bicycle, was brought out was
down and out for lack of outdoor re-
creation. rode wheel for about ten
years all told, and. myself and wife
rode tandem five years until the last
two years, when it appeared that we
were the only ones left.
I'VE have endeavored to be satisfied
with street car service in visiting
the parks and suburbs, but it is as
much as ones life is worth to join the
Indians in boarding car in order to
get seat. and what can one see en-
route or after you get there?
We have decided to get our tandem
out this year and ride. Who will
join us? Would like to meet one or
more congenial couples in forming an
outing club
Bicycle riding as means OF re-
creation has become such rariety
that one of the bloomer girls of the
nineties would doubtless start a riot
now. 1t seems strange that a nation
should lose It's head so completely over
a sport and then SO completely for
get it, 1t Is to be regretted, too, that
the reaction from the cycling craze
that swept over the, country was so
complete. Properly INDUCED in there
is no exercise more beneficial than
bicycling, no pasttime more, exhilarat-
ing and enjoyable.
But just now about the only rem
nants of the army that once number
ed hundreds of thousands are the uni
formed messenger boys.
