Miss Nellie Higgins of the Review
office was called to her home in Greene
county last Saturday by news of the
serious illness of her sister. The
disease is tuberculosis and recovery
is not probable though friends are
steadfastly hoping that her life may
be spared.

Mr.. ]. V. Barborka. the popula,
and enterprising jewelryman OF
Broadway, expects soon to occupy
the entire room where his stock nov
is. The growth of his business ha.
been such that he feels justified il
farther extending his lines and will
add an excellent selection of high
grade pianos and musical instruments
to his already complete stock OF
jewelry. Mr.. Barborka has ordered
new fixtures and show cases in order
to properly display his new goods that
are arriving daily. Among other
prominent features of his stock will
be complete assortment of kodaks
and supplies to make glad the heart
of the amateur. With the additional
room will come better faculties for
optical work in which Mr.. Barborka
takes just pride. Mr.. Barborka is
fully appreciative of the generous
patronage accorded him since coming
to Denison and if quality in goods
and merit in workmanship have con-
tributed to this success he may surely
expect to 60 on to better things.

This Handsome and Stylish Family Given
Formal Introduction to Beview Readers

We wish to call attention to the ad-
vertisement of the Dalle-B rodersen
Co. for two reasons, not alone on ac-
count of the enterprise of this firm
and the fact that it pays to read their
announcements form week to week,
but because we wish our readers to
make note of the fine appearance of
the advertisement from a Topographic
cal standpoint. The old system for
newspaper offices was to buy types of
different styles. The editor liked one
face, the foreman another and the
devil a third To equip the Office salts
factorily to all hands little of each
kind of type was bought and they
We're all used in the same advertise
ment. The effect was the some as
that of building a house, using the
colonial, the renaissance and the
Spanish styles of architecture. The
modern system is to buy the same
style of type in different sizes, making
an harmonious whole. To the good
printer such work appeals just as
lady's costume that is complete in
style and coloring from top to toe
appeals to the modiste. The Bale
Brodersen advertisement is set entire
ly in Cheltenham, a family of type
which we consider excellent from the
standpoint of beauty, legibility and
durability. The Review has some
twenty fonts of this type, running in
size all the way from the eight point
used in the description of the garden
seeds, up to 70 point, type larger
than appears in this advertisement.
We have in the Bold, the Condensed,
the Extra Condensed and the Italic.
The advertisement in question was
set by Otto Vosgerau who has develop
ed into an excellent all-round printer
during the years he has been connect
ed with the Review and other offices.

believe Senator Allison would have
such methods.

Syrup for Bees.

The best food at all times If it could
be given is certainly honey, but in it's
place the only substitute admissible
is pure sugar ii the form of syrup.
Syrup is best used when supply
must be given quickly as in the case
of colony on the verge of starva'
ton. or at the end of the season
when making up the necessary guam
tity of food for wintcring. There must,
however be n difference in the con
sistency in the spring and autumn
syrups in fact, the latter should be
about twice that OF the former. The
reason for this is that in the spring
the bees leave the hive Tor water with
which to thin the food they, in their
capacity of nurse bees. prepare for
the queen and grubs; and when
syrup is given with a good proportion
of water, these Journeys to the pump
or drains are rendered unnecessary
while in the autumn. unless syrup
about the consistency of honey is sup
piled the bees will have considerable
trouble in getting rid of the supert!u
Gus moisture in order to seal it over;
and if they could not do this the
syrup remaining exposed might. anc
probably would, ferment and cause
dysentery.-F G. Herman.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-09-08
Water for the Bees.

Give the bees plenty of water. They
need a great deal and will fly a long
distance to get it,
If there is no running stream or
lake of pure water near 1t is we'll to
place a pail of fresh water near the
apiary every day.
Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left over from winter to
make it suitable for the young larvae
and also to make the cell wax pilable.
Bees should be protected from the
wind on the north and west by close
set hedge or high fence.
All the weeds should be kept down
in front of the hives. low a plot q
feet wide and then cut the weeds and
grass close to the ground with a hoe
An hour once a week spent on the
care of the bees will bring larger re-
turns for the effort than any other
labor on the farm.
A newspaper man in Chicago, who
lives a few miles out in the country
last year sold $225 worth of honey
to three big hotels. He says he did
not spend more than an hour week
looking after his bees during the sea
son.-F. and ID. Journal

Feed JudiciouslY.

Food given judiciously is of i'm
mense advantage, for without it many
bee keepers would, undoubtedly
have empty instead of full supers.
Food in some form may be required
in the spring to help on a colony to
it's full strength in readiness for the
honey flow; it is none the less need
full during the summer, when through
a continuance of unfavorable wealth.
er loss by death is otherwise inevita.
BILE; but 1t is often Of supreme i'm.
portance at tic end of the season. SO
that there shall be surrounding the
bees food enough to serve not only
for the daily wants. but also through
the early part of the year, when the
new honey Is not being gathered the
stores are drawn upon largely for
brood rearing.

Suggestions Which May Make His

First Year Successful.
A few suggestions may be helpful
to the beginner in bee keeping aud
enable him to make his first years
work marked success.
l. Shade your hives If possible with
trees carrying heavy foliage. Swarms
should be shaded from nine a. m. to
five D. m. during the hottest season
Of the year.
9. Get a super of honey from the
hive wintered over by putting a super
containing sections with full sheets of
foundation or a super containing eX-
tracing frames on the hive as soon
as there is a good working force.
8 When the swarm issues remove
the super from the old and place it
upon the new stand. Your new swarm
will not leave their hive and will be
quite likely to continue working in
the super.
4. Arrange a wind-break to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing
strong winds.
5. Provide supports for the hives
which will lift them foot or more
from the ground. Ants and insect.
eating animals may give trouble If
the hives are on the ground.
6. Get your extra hives and supers
set up for use several weeks before
any swarms are expected or the honey
flow may be half over before you are
roody tn tokD roro nf If
7. Keep all comb-honey in moth
proof cases and examine frequently.
s. Set the hive with the front OF
the bottom board half-inch lower
than the back but it should be Level
sidewise or combs will be built at an
angle with the frames or sections.
8. DO not attempt to handle bees on
cold damp days but while they are
working in the field.
10. If bees are found hanging il
chains in a super do not smoke then
down. thinking they are idlers. fol
they are probably secreting wax.
II. Prevent much swarming by re
moving extra queen cells and by Civ
ing plenty of space at the bottom

Stirring the Country.

The whole coun,ry is stirred as
never before relative TO this gr-at
question of highway improvement.
Two years ago six only OF the whole
galaxy responded to a call OF the roll
of States that gave aid 70 their peO-
pie in road making. Not many ticks
of the clock have ben heard, nor mas
the sun risen on many days since the
representatives of siXty-five per cent.
of the population of the country -
men who spoke the minds of tifty-live
millions of the people of this land -
stood on a platform in Pittsburg and
voiced the demands for better roads;
and twenty-five commonwealths were
at that time committed to the use of
State moneys to help improve the
highways of the people. New York
had agreed to spend for that purpose
$5,000,000 yearly, or 69 cents per
capita Of her population, and now
Connecticut purposes to give from
her State treasury for like purpose
practically 100 cents yearly per capt.
ia of her people.

A ROAD OF LITTLE COST.
Maine Has Least Expensive and Most
Substantial of Telford Highways.

Maine Has Least Expensive and Most
Substantial of Telford Highways.
one of the least expensive and
most substantial of telford roads in
this country is said to be the St.
George highway, in Knox county,
Maine. 1t is 18 feet in width, thor
oughly drained and cost only so cents
per foot, or $2640 per lineal mile.
This low cost was possible because
stones of suitable size for the lower
courses were beside the road, and
granite chips were had for the mere
hauling from the groutheaps of quar-
ries close by the road.
A description Of this road says that
its cutters carry away every drop of
water The lower course of the bed
is of stones of varying sizes, none so
big that man could not alone handle
each, and they were so placed as to
tend to bind themselves together, al
though they were fitted together rath-
er roughly. Smaller pieces were then
fitted into the crevices of this lower
layer. With long handled hammers
men went over this and broke up any
bits which were too large.
On these were spread granite chips
from the refuse heaps Of the adjoining
quarry. This top dressing was COM
pacted with roller drawn by horses,
and an excellent road was the result.

Cat Saved Life of Mistress.

Nine Marie Rayot's cat saved her
mistress life one morning last month
Nine. Rayot, who lives in Paris. heard
the cat new loudly, and jumped out
of bed, thinking that it was after her
birds, which were in the next room.
AS Nine. Rayot rushed into this room
a burglar knocked her candle from
her hand and caught her by the throat
and attempted to strangle her. He
let her go. however, with cry of pain.
and when Nine. Rayots shrieks
brought in the neighbors 1t was found
that the cat had scratched out one of
his eyes. An accomplice of the burg
lar was found hiding under a bed.

Maximum Grade,

In American practice the maximum
grade for important roads has been
generally fixed at per cent. where
such a grade can be had without too
great cost for grading and for pay
ment for damage to abutting proper
ty. By 5 per cent. is meant a verti-
cal rise of feet in 100 feet of hori-
zontal distance. A horse can trot
without especial difficulty up such a
grade. On sleeper grades, macadam
surfaces, or, indeed, any kind of a
surface, can be maintained only at
considerable cost.

No Level Macadams.

Some authorities insist that a ma
cadam road should never be level ar
guing that slight rise and fall Is
needed to permit the surface water to
run longitudinally along the road.
Usually, even if the road is absolute
Iy level, if it is also properly crowned,
the cutters of the road may be 30

face drainage The width of the grad
ing will depend, Of course, on the
width of the macadam adopted.

Rininu Gutter Mater.

In many localities it is the custom
to extend to the center of the road
driveways leading from adjacent lands
to the road to meet it's center grade.
This practice makes it necessary to
carry the gutter water under the
driveway in a pipe. Nearly always it
is possible, by regarding such drive
way, to make it coincide with the gut
ter grade, SO that the surface water
will flow by without interruption.
This should always be done when
possible. Pipes with open ends laid
