NO NARROWER ROADS.

1t has been urged with much plaus!-
bility that as a rule the highways of
the country are too wide; that too much
land is wasted which might be put into
cultivation. There is a movement in
meeting Of the general assembly to
is argued that with narrower high
ways. not only would there be gain
of land for cultivation, but the ey-
pense of construction and repair work
would be less
There may be some highways that
are wider than necessary. but there
are other roads that could not very
well be reduced in width without det-
riment to the public. One considera-
ton that seems to have been over
looked By the advocates OF narrower
roads is the advent Of the automobile,
the bicycle and the motorcycle.
These methods of travel have unques-
tionably come to stay. and If they
are to be used upon roads over which
horses are to be driven it will be es-
sential that sufficient room is provided
for them to pass each other without
dangerously crowding.
There is another consideration. the
desirability of identifying our high
ways with shade trees and attractive
shruboery and plants. The narrow
road would be an impeachment TO orna-
mentation. After all, the American
people can not afford to be too utilitar-
ian. There has been a recent tenden-
cy to drain the beautiful lakes, whose
beds would afford very fertile lands
for cultivation It is not all of life
to make money: something Of nature
in her fairer forms ought to be left
for the mental and spiritual edifica-
ton Of the people.

DA1RYING IN DENMARK.
dubuque Times.

Dubuque IlneS.)
In Iowa many of the cooperative
creameries have been put out of BUSH
ness by the large private concerns
which outbid them for the milk until
the competition offered by the local
enterprise is destroyed.
Not so in Denmark. Charles Rich
ardson. secretary of the American le-
cation at Copenhagen, reports that in
1907 Denmark had LOSS cooperative
concerns with 158.170 members, most of
them bound to the enterprise for a
period of ten years. The capital re-
CURED to start creamery, of which
Denmark had 1916 in 1908, varies from
1882 to $500 The number of cows
in that country in 1903 was 1,06s, Ses. of
which about 100000 were on farms de-
livering milk to the co-opera tive dali
ries Power separators are used in the
Trifolium dairy The farmer gets
about / 2cents gallon for his milk,
the exact price depending on the pro-
portion Of butter fat. The milk not
used for the table, the kitchen, butter
or cheese making is sold to the farm
ers for pig feed.
The Danish milk is not SO rich as the
product of Jersey cows, but the skill
land care with which it is prepared
have given Danish butter a reputation
| thruout the world. The butter
! makers. chiefly women, get 81 to 50 a
month with board and lodging Much
of the cheese goes to Germany and
Great Britain annually takes $4s, 500, 900
worth of the butter. The Trifolium
dairy, cooperative. uses 1900 pounds
Of milk daily, collected daily within a
radius Of twelve miles by its own vans,
and turns out twelve to fourteen tons
Of butter every week. The Copenhagen
Milk Supply Company, started in 1878
by the medical authorities of the city,
receives milk from forty farms within
radius of sixteen or eighteen miles.
Over 5000 gallons arrive by train daily
and the storehouse holds 1000 tons Of
ice. This company pays 16 to Is cents
gallon and sells at ~ cents quart
for whole milk, 2h cents for halskim-
med milk and 6 cents for pasteurized
milk for infants. All profits above 8
per cent go towards reducing the price
OF milk sold to charitable institutions.
The theory that the general appli-
cation Of the tuberculin test to cattle
would destroy Iowa's dairy industry
Is not borne out by Denmara.s exper-
| fence. The Copenhagen company uses
only milk from cows and diaries in
lsQected by its own agents.

11s New SCHEME no go oN LIVING,

Some doctor with an unpronounce-
able name and another with cog
nomen that matches il have agreed
that we can live Indefinitely by getting
rid of the appendix and the large in
testine. We must be taken young and
these troublesome organs removed slick
and clean. Then we just go on living
until everyone gets tired of everybody.
The theory is that the large intestine
IS simply a place for bad germs TO hide
and raise hob. The appendix hangs
around stirring up trouble like a tale
bearer in an irascible neighborhood.
Higher up IN the smaller intestines the
germs have higher ideals and are
friendly to human life. BY cutting off
the reservation and retaining and
maintaining a community OF respect
able germs the system would be better
policed, better lighted and generally
free from disreputable bacill that make
trouble What the Russian and French
scientists want 20 do is TO eliminate the
levee district Of the human frame.
Nor IS it all theory. The doctors
have been hacking away on number
of persons and point TO the unequaled
health and physical prosperity these
mangled remains enjoy as evidence Of
the truth and effectiveness Of their
theory when made practical. Two Of
these were permanently bedridden
when the surgeons did the trick. Nov
they are strong, healthy happy ex-
anples of the efficacy of the knife AMI
glory in the removal Of their insides.
Perhaps 1t may come to this. Per-
haps we shall take the new born infant
from christening altar 10 the operating
room and wait while a whole lot of him
is removed and set aside as "cold
metal" Some day il may be that poor
children must suffer under the taunt
that they are children of the long in
testined and are still carrying about
within themselves the stigma Of pow
erty and disease. Perchance we shall
have public chopping blocks for the
poor and common as we now have pub
lie baths and public hospitals and poor
houses.
Perhaps, but old fashioned and toler-
ably ignorant people will for a long
time oppose the surgeons and grip fast
to their intestines. The average per-
son will be hard to convince that few
yards of his ahmentary canal should
be reeled up and hacked off in order
that he may be healthy He is likely TO
retain bull headed notion that he needs
II and that if it were not intended for
use it would not have been provided.
Some persons are even yet anxious to
retain their vermiform appendices
Common folks object to having even
the Skilled surgeons Of today messing
about in their interior and cutting off
and out things that they imagine we
would be better without.

Place Your Advertising Agen,
On His Mettle

Don't give him contract for from one to
three years.
Don't say, "For this period, all the advertis-
ing place is to be placed through you"
Make him fight to keep your business as
hard as he fights to get it.
And let the keeping or the getting be decided
by comparative results.
This policy will come like bomb, we know,
into the old-time agency camps.
They will say, "How can agents sleep if
their business becomes as unstable as that?'
You don't want them 70 sleen-tlat's exactly
the point. You want them to keep to the mark
Make an agent prove, when he solicits your
business that he can outsell the rest.
And make him prove, so long as he keeps It,
that no other concern can outsell him.
What would be the result if advertisers in
general adopted this sensible policy?
It would simply be this:
No smooth-tongued statesmen, no improved
boasts, no snowy ads would go.
Soliciting expense would be largely wiped
out. The cost Of getting contracts signed
would be spent on increasing clients results.

ADVICE FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
Exercise by Which System Is Re
 freshed and lnvigorated.

For relaxing tense nerves there is nothing like a tonic hath and this spe cial relaxing exercise.
 The bath is quite simple-nothing but alternate sprays of hot and cold water. given for from five to ten min utes This is possible for any one who can afford a rubber hose with a spray attachment which fastens on to tbe nozzle of the hot and cold spigot. It usually costs about $1.
 Follow the bath with this exercise, which stimulates the nerves without the expenditure of nerve force:
 Stand with the weight of the body on the left foot, the right fixed lightly on the floor little in advance of it. Raise slowly the right arm to the level of the shoulder, then move arm in a circle from right to left and reverse.
 The left arm is then treated in the same manner, with the weight of body on right foot.
 By exercise of this kind the ner- vous system is refreshed and invigor- at It is important in doing the move ments to relax so thoroughly that one forgets she has any muscles. In other words, the movement is to be quite in voluntary.

The real matter at stake was the safety of the girl whom Anisty, by exercise of an internal in- genuity that passed Maitland's com prehension, had managed to spirit into this place of death and darkness and whispering halls. Where she might be, in what degree of suffering and danger-these were the considerations that sent hm in search of her without a thought of personal peril, but with sick heart and overwhelmed with stifling sense of anxiety.
