AS A VISIT FROM AN OLD FRIEND.
Welcome the Arrival of DR.. A.
w. Chase's Almanac for 1909.
Tire Annual Diary Contest Has Made
This the Most Popular of Almanacs

AS a reminder that another year has
rolled around we find on our desk the
1909 edition of DR.. Chase's Almanac,
and, like many of our readers. we have
come TO look on this annual publication
as an old friend.
This year the style of ove has been
entirely changed and instead of a rural
or agricultural scene, we find promi-
nence, in the cover design, given to the
portrait of the famous old physician,
who by reason of his great Receipt
Book and we'll known Family Medi-
cines, has made his name a household
word familiar to two generations.
So highly esteemed r these pro-
ducts of the genius and skill of the
old doctor that his name has become
to be considered as synonymous with
merit, and. when new-fangled treat
mcnts are tried in vain, resort is had
to these medicines which have stood
the test of time and proven themselves
without equal.
But to return to the Almanac, we
find the most prominent features to
be the weather forecast, which has a
splendid reputation for accuracy, and
the annual diary contest, in which
$4,000 in gold. and also other awards
are offered for the best diary kept In
DR., Chase's Almanac. Each year great
enthusiasm is shown in this competi.
ton, and besides winning valuable
prizes, people are learning the benefit
of keeping a record of business trans.
actions and daily events.
If you have not been so fortunate as
to receive a copy of DR.. Chase's Al
manac the publishers, DR.. A. ". Chase
Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. will send
you a copy postpaid, il you mention
this paper. You will find this altman.
&C we'll worth sending for. as it con.
tains much information which Is valu-
able and useful.

AN IDEAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER

Recent issues OF the Sunday Record
Herald reminds one that Chicago may
fairly lay claim 10 producing the best
in the world, no excepting
those Of New York. The Sunday Rec
ord-Herald. in foreign news alone, has
its own special cable service in addi-
ton to those OF the New York Herald,
World, Journal of Commerce and AS
sociated Press. This is a fair eX-
ample of the completeness of the paper
in every department.
Aside from the regular news features
there is something in the Sunday Rec
ord-Herald for every member of the
family. The special articles by VIII
liam +. Curtis and Walter Wellman are
always interesting. The sporting sec
ton offers four whole pages of fresh
and authentic news in every line of
sport. The woman's section is filled
with the latest articles on the latest
wrinkles in fashion and domestic
science, with Marion Harland and
Nine Qui Viye as regular contributors,
and Dame Curtsey's Novelties in En-
tertainment" as a valuable feature.
The dramatic page, written by James
O'Donnell Bennett, is admitted with
out an equal in the west. The array
of splendid special articles by skilled
writer's, finely illustrated, also Is typi-
cal of the high literary quality of the
Record-Herald. In the way Of humor
there is the colored comic section for
children, besides Richard II. Titles
laughable articles for adults and s.
f. Kiser's delightful alternating Cur
rents" for everybody.
But the thing that lifts the Sunday
Record Herald most emphatically
above all its rivals is its magazine
section. There is nothing else that
can touch this in American journalism.
The Sunday magazine of the Record
Herald is a real magazine, full of
stories and articles by the most fam
Gus writer's of u day, illustrated by
celebrated artists. In quality and
beauty it compares %favorably with
the best monthlies. No wonder the
Record-Herald is regarded as the ideal

valuc of Good Roads.

The average cost of hauling produce
in this country is 25 cents a mile per
ton. In France it is IL cents a mile
per ton. Were our roads equal to
those of France, there would be
gain to our farmers of 13 cents a
mile per ton. During the crop year
1905-O6 our more important farm pro-
ducts, which were hauled from the
places where they originated to ship
ping points. weighed in the aggregate
85,487 million pounds. The average
length of haul of farm products in
the United States is 94 miles. Hence,
saving of 13 cents a mile per ton
would have meant to our farmers a
gain of $58,900,000 on their more i'm
portant crops during the single crop
year 1905-O6. According to the freight
figures of the Interstate Commission
about $50 million tons are now an
nually hauled to points OF shipment,
Were our roads equal to those Of
France the annual gain in hauling,
based on these figures, would be
$3e5, ,000, 900.

mostly Germans and Frenchmen, EN-:
ployed in the hotels and restaurants
of Great Britain" said George A. Hill
bert, of st. Louis, at Hotel Herman
my friend, an ardent patriot,
thought it great wrong that these
aliens should be holding good positions
while thousands of his own country
men were out of work and on the
verge of starvation. Furthermore,
this great horde of foreign employees
were composed of men who had been
through rigid military training, and
who, in the event of war, would be
powerful help to their native gov
ernment. The only remedy he could
suggest was for the British public to
cease giving tips to any waiter who
did not speak English as his mother
tongue. This would drive them home
quickly enough. He conceded that the
Germans and the French were super
ior in this line of service, and that
the problem of supplying their places
would be difficult. Baltimore Amer

UTILIZING CONVICT LABOR.

The list of states now using convict
labor on the highways is too long to
mention in detail, but Colorado, New
Mexico and Wyoming are using such
labor to construct great highway
which will run through the three
states. and washington, oregon, North
Carolina and Georgia, as well as sew
eral other states, have gangs at work.
The convict road gang at work in the
southern part of Colorado numbers
SS men. They wear no distinguishing
badge in the way of clothing, and no
armed guards are to be seen any
where. If a man wishes to escape
from such camp It is conceded that
he can easily do so, but that he may
be overtaken elsewhere follows as a
matter of course, and the penalty
dreaded by any convict who has had
taste of open work-means that lis
activities will from then on to the
end of his term be confined within the
prison walls.
Only five officers are in charge of
the camp, which is composed of tents
The convicts sleep in one big tent,
and during the day they are divided
into five gangs each officer having
charge of gang. Eight hours of road
work constitute a days labor, and
then men must go to bed promptly
at O'Clock every night except Sat
urday, on which they are allowed an
extra hour Amusement is allowed
to all in the camp. Some of the con-
victs own and play musical instru-
ments. Cards are also allowed. Some
spend their time pitching quoits, and
a ball game is usually played every
evening before darkness sets in.
The method of guarding the con-
victs working on the roads in the
state of Washington is little more
strict, but amusements are just as
numerous. The provision allowing
the convicts to do such work in that
state was passed in 1907, and the
point selected for making the first
experiment was one of the most re-
mote from the penitentiary, the idea
being to give the new system the most
severe test possible. The work select
ed was the building of wagon road
along the face of a nearly perpen-
dicular rock bluff, the work involving
the handling of a large amount of
dynamite by the convicts. The char
acter of the work encountered was
extremely hard, making drilling very
slow. Nevertheless, the average daily
work accomplished by each man
amounts to 2.42 cubic yards Of solid
rock moved and one cubic yard of
earth and loose rock moved.
AS the lowest bid received for NOV
ing the rock was $3.50 per cubic yard
and for loose rock and earth 40 cents,
the average daily work of a convict
was valued at $4.03. The camp es-
tablished for the care of the prisoners
consisted of a stockade 1Sx48 feet
On the outside of the stockade and
adjoining it was built the guardhouse.
The number of convicts employed at
the camp has never been more than
80, guarded by FIVE officers.

Natural Laws Which Govern Nature
and Man.

In one of your articles you spoke
of Interpretation governed by ma.
tural law. Will you kindly explain
it further. M. 7. S.
If I were to go into the subject as ex-
haustivey as l should like it would
take many pages. All our nterpreta-
ton is governed by the laws of nature.
Time, moving as it does in circles. The
large notes invariably attracting the
smaller ones. Natural laws govern the
Universe and all that the Universe con-
tans. When we, wandering strones,
but subject to Interchangeable decree, re-
alize that art is governed as truly as
science we shall have made a great
stride toward being genuine artists. In
running up a scale we go rapidly until
near the top, and then a bit slower on
the last few notes, then a slight pause
and down again. but toward the bottom,
we naturally hold back as one descend
ing a hill. for if in running down
scale Cor hlD we should go with the
same force that it took to take us up,
we would meet with certain disaster.
