Great State Highways Are Needed.

Great State Highways Are Needed.
When congress, rejecting the
thought of the nation, ordained a per-
manent memorial to the life, the char
acter and the deeds of Abraham Lin
coin, what did it resolve upon? A great
modern highway leading from Wash
Ington the Gettysburg battlefield, the
eliminating point of the terrific strug-
gle in which he lowered as the pivotal
figure. What made Babylon mistress
of her day and ancient Rome. the seat
of imperial control? Not alone the
valor of their arms, but their roads
along which with swiftness of move
ment they might instantly dispatch
their legions The safety of the
state" declared Appius Claudius, lies
in our ability to confront instant dan
ger with force" No other two coun-
tries have had such preponderant in
fiuence on modern civilization as Great
Britain and France, and the amazing
fact that each possess 30,000,000 of
people dwelling orderly and comfort
ably within an area in one case less
than that of Montana and in the other
less than that of Texas is largely ac-
counted for by the existence of good
roads, which brought them into close
social and commercial intercourse and
unified them as a national body.

Germans as a rule have a keen sense
of humor, and many of them must be
getting much amusement from the
stories about British alarm over Ger
man military development, including
the building of warships. AS a matter
OF fact Germany is not adding to her
naval strength TO any greater extent
than other nations with equal interests
to protect, and the German government
should be credited with good faith in
its repeated expressions of desire for
peace with all the world. The latest
scare in England is over the story that
one of the Zeppelin airships recently
made flight of considerable length
carrying rs persons, large proportion
of the party being German soldiers
fully equipped for actual service. This
is interpreted to mean that such a yes.
sci could fly over to England and drop
down with it's outfit wherever it chose
Possibly. But how many such ma
chimes would be required to transfer
a big army and all the equipment nee
essary for service in the field? "An
Engli5hmans Home" seems to have
put many Englishmen's nerves on
edge.

Whatever opinionated critics may
have to say as to the decadence of the
drama and degeneracy of the pop
ular taste, the theater-goer in this
plays which have some message for
the reason and the intellect as well as
for the senses. He will support with
his attendance sane and wholesome
productions destitute of exotic and
erotic features. The appeal of a play
like The Old Homestead" is elemen-
tai; it touches lost chords and forgot
ten springs of memory, not merely in
the unsophisticated country dweller,
but in the worldly wise man."

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

a prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public:
ct was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and / also know, from having pre-
scrfbed it to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food is a won
derful builder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as / did in
@trength and weight very rapidly.
Il was in such low state that I
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact l was not quite as well as
when 1 left home.
My food did not sustain me and
it became plain that 1 must change
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks / could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
time have felt as well and strong as
1 ever did in my life.
las a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, 1 consider it a duty to
make these facts public
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.

Southern trade will be broad all
through the spring and summer
months. consumption of hog produce
has received impetus on account Of
the high price of beef and mutton,
foreign dealers are becoming alert
and will be good buyers right along
while the popuIous east is calling on
the west for more hogs than last
year for fresh meat purposes, despite
the fact that prices have ruled two
dollars per hundredweight higher,
says the Breeders Gazette. Packers
have felt the pulse of trade and are
not advertising bargain sales. Seven
cent hogs are dear but they are pos
sible. Probably the buyer will con-
tinue his policy of economy by taking
light stuff, but this is no handicap to
the grower, as the hog he markets
short of maturity was made cheaply.
In trade opinion cashing hogs as fast
as they are decently fit for market is
good policy, but nobody believes delay
will be at the expense Of financial re-
suits. It is merely question o:
economy in production.

Few PIumes Are Worn.

With the exception of the immense
plume on the cavalier hat there is alb
sence of feathers in spring and sum-
mer millinery.
Masses of flowers are worn and iri-
descent wings. Aigrettes are also used
on handsome hats, but the Prince of
Wales tips, which are always pretty,
are curiously lacking. This is possibly
because all effects are fat or in
wreath design.
All the trimming lies close to the
hat. including the ribbon and the wide,
soft bows.

perfect convenience, to say nothing OF
the matter of care and operation OF
the engine, or the facility with which
the electric power from the turbine
dynamo may be transmitted to vari
Gus buildings and points on the farm
for use at the same time.
Fig. 1 shows the ground plan of a
plant located near the dam and con-
nected with an open wooden fiume
and with a vertical turbine. This is
an excellent plan where the fall is
from three to six feet with a good sup.
ply of water. With this type of tur.
bine the generator or dynamo may
be placed overhead and driven by a
bevel gear. The foundation of the
power house should be of stone OF
concrete, with heavy timber bases for
the turbine and dynamo, to insure
steady running without jar or vibra,
ton.
A breakwater must be built at the
power house to prevent ice and debris
gathering or lodging across the outlet
or tail race. The dam should have
an apron of concrete or planks pro-
tected with concrete, to prevent wear
ing and washing by the flow over the
spillway. A heavy boom is placed
across the entrance to the racks, to
guard against floating rubbish, ard
close-barred racks must be built at
the entrance. to the fume, to catch
leaves and small stuff that might clog
the wheel. A heavy gate or stop log
is set inside the racks, to regulate the
flow of water or to cut it off entirely.
Where there is the opportunity to
get a good head of water, the plant
and connection may be cheaply built,
as shown in Fig. 2. The f1ume in this
case may be of sewer pipe of the
proper size, or a square wooden fume
heavily coated with some wood pre-.
sentative may be used instead. This
drawing shows vertical turbine with
a direct belt drive, which is cheaper
than the bevel gear. With the closed
f1ume arrangement the power house
may be located at any reasonable dis
lance from the dam or head of water.

LAXATIVE FOR
WOMEN FREE

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc..
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only a
mild laxative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong
though they may be, for the object is
simply to move the bowels, and if a
gentle laxative will do it, what is the
use of a violent one?
DR.. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin has
earned a well-deserved vogue among
women and children and old folks
people who must necessarily be care
full of what they take.
It is a liquid laxative tonic and ad-
mittedly the greatest stomach, liver and
bowel remedy before the American peo-
pie The price is only so cents or 81 bot
tie, as it comes in both sizes, and all
druggists sell il. Its pleasant taste and
gentle action make it an ideal remedy for
women in constipation, torpid liver, sour
stomach, sick headache, heartburn and
such like digestive complaints Its use for
a short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely so that future medication Will be
unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles so
that they act naturally again. That this
is so is the experience of many heads OF
families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado,
Va, Mrs. K. L. Stout, of Louisville, KY,
and numerous others; in fact, way out in
of that place, writes, the whole town
seems to be using 1T.

Sunday about noon | saw four
drunken mon on the street in front
of the sO-called Palace saloon. Where
did they get their spirits? More than
likely from the back door of some sa-
LOOM Their remarks to me as | pass
ed were insulting, to say nothing OF
what they would be to a lady. A
member of our council said in my hear
ing: 1T is a shame, the stand our
commissioners have taken in refusing
to renew the license of Moore &
Wamsley." Outside of these two re-
marks, no one has said anything in my
hearing except that of commentator
of the noble stand taken by the ma
jority of our commissioners. They
were all pledged to the local option
plan, and were elected on the Repub-
lican ticket, which pledged that the
people should rule. 1t is very common
dable to the Republican party that
the elected servants in the majority
should stand faithfully to their ante
election pledges, both in our county
and our state. There is no doubt at all
but that Twin Falls would stand sew
enty-five per cent in favor of local OPP
ton as against twenty-five per cent
telligent class of citizens. The voice
of the people is the law. Let all good
citizens give loyal support to it's COM
missioners, and let us thank God that
we have elected such a noble lot of
of men to this Office.
Below are a few clippings that show
plainly that we as county are on
the right track Ca clean city, Let
this be our cry.
With the improvement of street paw
ing from the depot to Blue Lakes Bou-
levard, and from one end of Main
street to the other, let us add to this
cement sidewalks on both sides of
these streets as fast as walks are nee
essary, and where they are not now
put in Let every citizen with every
other Join to make Twin Falls place
of beauty and joy forever.
The governor of Kansas in providing
that prohibition does prohibit, gave
the following in his Thanksgiving pro-
clamation, which shows clearly what
local option will mean with our state
laws-no saloons, neither open nor as
blind pigs.
"One-third of our counties are with
out prisoners in their jails or paupere
in their poor houses; One-half of our
counties contributed no conv:cts to
our prison population the last year
and one-half of our prison inmates
never lived in Kansas long enough to
gain residence here-the saloon has
been practically banished from our
state, and it's baneful influence almost
entirely eliminated. All these things
should touch the chords OF our better
natures and make them vibrate with
| the reverent sentiment" Praise God

the stand taken by our commissioners
in refusing to renew licenses that have

Twin Falls. One of the most promin-
ent members of our Commercial club
said: 1.-THE attitude of our commits
sioners In refusing to renew licenses
will surely put Twin Falls ON the
bum" These are his exact words

interests, indicates that there are a
