Value of Good Roads.

Every inhabitant of this country is
vitality concerned in its roads. Wheth-
er a man uses the roads himself, in
a carriage or automobile has little
bearing on the matter; if he does, their
faults are brought home to him by his
bodily discomfort. If he does not use
them, he may stay at home comfort
ably in an easy chair but he pays
tribute to them equally with the user.
Transportation is civilization: and
transportation by road is no less i'm
portant than transportation by rail
or by water.
Every article of food or clothing,
every daily necessity of luxury must
be carried to the person who is to use
it, and the user must pay the eX-
pense of carriage. The price of each
liaf of bread includes the cost of
hauling the wheat to the railroads;

If you love man enough to marry

you can't live unless you do is the
advice of one young matron.

The man falls in love with the wo-
man. The woman falls in love with
the mans love for her." said a clever
epigram maker once.
That is true far too often but the
marriage that follows such love is not
the highest kind of marriage.
If you think it is possible that that
is the case with you, try to imagine
how you would feel if you knew he
did not care anything about you, and
if you cannot say, Il could not help
caring just as much for him even
then" you probably do not love him.

Allow these to give their moisture to

sure, apply a second collection of these

The shape of the outline of the brow
depends upon the hair line. For the
woman whose hair seems to have

oil is suggested. Crude oil is also good,
and is less expensive Spat the fore

This will induce growth of hair in

The hairs should 'be trained in the

take much time and this motion slim
ulates the oil glands at the base Of
each follicle and a luster will very
soon result Since the glands fur
nish nourishment to the hair, it is OBJ
vious that in time this treatment will
increase the growth.
After a warm rinsing of the fore
head and a subsequent dash of cold
water, apply rice powder as a final
touch. 1t is perfectly harmless, will
absorb any excess of oil from the skin,
and will whiten and smooth out the
surface.
BY faithful treatment of the brow

quandary.
In the first place I should be in
clined to say that if you don't know
whether you love anyone or not that
is pretty good sign that you don't.
And yet that's not inevitably true,
for l have known cases where love
crept into a heart so very quietly, so
very unobtrusively, that the keeper Of
the gate did not even know he had
passed by. And once / knew a case
where he wasn't found at all until too
late, and that was very sad, so l
shouldn't dare give that as a test.
No test is universal, anyway. Love
is very different thing with different
people The most I can do is offer a
few suggestions and observations and
dreamings on the subject that may or
may not be worth anything.
