An Innovation In Roads.

During the last few years much
interest has been taken in the cru
SADIE for good roads, and in many
parts of the country model stretches
of highway have been constructed
by good roads commissions TO
serve as examples to the natives OF
each locality. Much valuable IN

manner, but apparently no plan dis
covered for overcoming the difficult
ties of road building in sandy soil.
It remained for Minnesota man 10

suitable for such condition.
George w. Cooley, State hig hWay
engineer of Minnesota, has designed
a road that Is serviceable. in spite
of sandy foundation. A section
of his new construction Is located
at Cambridge, in 1santi county. IN
this district there Is nothing but sand
for top soil, and it Is impossible 10

other material Mr.. Cooley finally
decided that sawdust was the com

ground together this mixture ana
whenever ruts were worn into the
surface they were filled with fresh
sawdust. The fine particles Of wood

Mother Sees Son Slain.

A mothers vision was the primary

of her nineteen-year-old boy, Thur.
man Walker, of Goodland, Kan. The
confession Of the murder was given

So strong was the dream of the
mother that she sent another son to
Colorado to hunt for the lost boy
On September IL the body of the
youth was found in the Arkansas
River near Nepasta with q strap
drawn tightly around the neck.
The mother in her dream had seer
the boy lying cold IN death on the
prairie, while companion galloped
away on horse in the darkness.
Num- is alleged to have told the
police that he lured the boy to take
an overland journey, thinking Wake,
had some money. All he got was a
saddle and So, which he took from
the body after shooting him as he
slept. The body was too heavy te

Cured Rheumatic

Nearly everybody is susceptible to a
twinge of rheumatism. sciatica, tooth
ache, headache or neuralgia. and it's
never safe to be without good rem
edy for an emergency of this kind.
No matter what kind Of pain you
have the beneficial effect Of Sloan's
Liniment Is immediate. You lay 1t on
lightly-no rubbing whatever and a
pleasant warmth Is felt at once. The
Liniment penetrates right to the bone
and quickly stops the pain.
Mr.. Chas. ]. Budlong Of Anthony,
R. l., Box 1875. writes: "For many
years l was a great sufferer from
rheumatism. My hips would swell to
enormous proportions and my knee
joints would pain me in the most ex-
cruciating, awful manner imaginable.
l used often to have to fall from the
bed into chair and thence to the floor,
when I wanted to get from my bed.
l used only some six or eight bottles
of your celebrated Liniment and was
cured. I cheerfully recommend its use
to all rheumatic sufferers. Refer to
me If you so desire. All letters an.

The Light of Faith.

Faith is truly a light in the soul.
but 1t Is a light which only shines
upon duties, and not upon results or
events. 1t tells us what is now to be
done, but 1t does not tell us what is
to follow, and accordingly it guides
us but a single step at a time, and
when we take that step under the
guidance of faith, we advance directly
into land of surrounding shadows
and darkness. Like the patriarch
Abraham. we 60. not knowing wither
we 60, but only that God is with US.
In mans darkness we nevertheless
walk and live in Gods light. A way
of living blessed and glorious. how
ever mysterious 1t may be to human
vision. For "the Lord God will en-.
tighten our darkness"
