donation to spend their surplus FUNDS
on good roads. Historic mudholes are
being slowly filled up. stone and con-
crete are replacing the crazy wooden
bridges. and a hundred inventions
have been made to help get the best
results for the lowest expense.
Some Of the last deserve attention.
Macadam roads have long been ac-
cepted as the standard Of highway
construction. But macadam roads Of
the old pattern. with crushed stone
eight inches thick. cost from $4,000 10
$4,000 per mile Now II has been
found that three or four inches will
do quite rs well, and the cost is cut
sQuarely in two. In some parts OF the
central states. where crushed stone IS
rare. It has been found that the very
clay which makes the roads almost i'm
passable is the best matchmaking ma
terial when burned. In yet other re-
glons the farmers have discovered
how 10 make good roads by the simple
expedient OF rolling or dragging them
after each rain. and I'm yet other places
a mixture Of sand and clay. costing
$500 or $500 a mile. IS found almost
as good as the best macadam.
1t IS we'll that the roadmaking ma
terials are abundant and varied. for
there are roads enough In the United
States to reach eighty-six times around
the earth at the equator. and nearly
all those roads are bad. The advo-
Gates of good highways will find ample
room for their missionary enterprise
for a generation to come.

scratched them up smooth with the
harrows. You were never expected TO
work very hard at these festive occa-
sions. and the pathmaster who insisted
on real work soon found himself I'M
popular. It was just as well, for, since
nobody had any knowledge Of road
making. the more work the worse re-
suits.
What some Of these results were and
are we have vivid testimony. Across
Iowa last winter the racing" autos
had 10 take TO the railroad tracks be-
cause the common roads were simply
impossible Last March some mis-
guided creatures began an automobile
race from New York 10 Savannah. Ga
1t was just at the opening Of naviga-
tion on the country roads of the mid
die south. the time when the roads are
too thin for wheels and too thick for
boats. Across Virginia each racing
automobile had an escort Of six mules
to pull it out Of extra deep mudholes
and to haul its emergency rations Of
gasoline. Usually this was enough, but
when an auto was so thoughtless as to
stay in the mudhole all night the mule
teams had TO be doubled and all the
negroes Of the neighborhood comman-
deered 10 service before that particu-
lar contestant could proceed. The
racers averaged four miles per hour
across the Old Dominion-a perfectly
stunning rate Of speed. all things con-
sidered.
And yet the roads OF America are
vastly better than they once were, and
the improvement IS going on apace
The United states government is lend
ing a hand by setting its spare scien-
lists TO work teaching the people OF
different regions how TO make the best
roads mt the least cost. The states are
doing vastly more. New York in 1905
voted to spend SJ0OOO.OOO on her high

vesting in roads at that rate. all are
doing something.

Coffee Beans and Arithmetic.

That the efforts Of teachers to do
well by their scholars are often mis-
understood by parents is illustrated by
an amusing incident which occurred
in one Of the schools. a little girl who
had just been promoted to the second
grade was having great difficulty with
the simple sums in arithmetic which
her teacher gave her. The latter took
the girl aside and tried to explain TO
her how addition. subtraction, etc.
should be done. She showed the girl
how to do the sums by taking some
little objects and making the actual
physical changes indicated. so sdNPr-
ing the desired result Then she said.
Tell your mother to give you twenty
coffee beans and take them each even

came to school and at once sought out
her teacher. Mamma wants to know
whether | am to take the coffee beans
mixed with water or to swallow them

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats:
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are SO annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; if not near the
store, buy the large size family pack
