DON'T USE DRAG IN MUD

preston as TO Roads.
If farmers of Rock Island county
have forgotten that this is the time
Of year to drag the roads they ought
to be reminded. At the same time
it will be well to set right a popular
misapprehension as to the use of the
drag. d. Ward King, inventor of
this useful Implement, writes:
81 have no better friends than
the newspaper men. yet, uninten-
tionally of course, they make me a
great deal of trouble by stating in
their writeups that I advise people
to drag in the mud. Men read it;
try it; fail, quit in disgust; and the
road cause is hurt.
"A big man in the road meeting
at Paris, Texas, said: I'm one Of
those fellows. / read something like
that, made me a drag and tried IT
in the mud. / worked with it about
three hours and then 1 quit. And
promised the Good Lord that If he'd
forgive me for those three hours
I'd never get onto the darned thing
again. This gentleman promised
me he would try again when the
soil was moist but not sticky
Possibly no gravel roads or on
very gravelly soil, the road may be
dragged when the soil could be term
ed muddy, because this kind OF mud
is not sticky, though l feel sure that
better effects will be obtained II
they, too, are allowed to dry until
they are only thoroughly moist But
on the clay, gumbo and heavier loan
soils it is usually serious mistake
to try to drag in the mud. Use the

] is brought prominently TO the front
in heading the list OF cities showing
an Increase In the amount of its build
ing permits for the month OF Febru-
airy, 1910, over the corresponding
| month OF the preceding year. Daven-
ports Increase for the month referred
to-was 1859 per cent. It's nearest COM
petttor was Houston, Texas. which
showed gain OF All per cent. For
ing permits were issued in Davenport
at the Office Of Clerk OF the Board of
Public Works William Claussen.
These represent an expenditure OF
s402, 275. For the same month of the
preceding year but eight permits we're
issued, representing an outlay of $14;-
900. Davenportie showing for the past
month was made possible by the Put
nam estate taking out a s25Os000 per
NIT for the erection OF its new eight
story office building at Second and
Main streets. This building when COM
pleted will cost fully $500, 700, although
the building permit calls for but $780,

the past month were to the u. N Rob
erts company for 100000 and to the

Street Railway Concessions.-At
conference between the special com
mittee of the city council and Presi-
dent J. F. Porter of the Tri-City Rail-
way company the aldermen took de-
cided stand in favor of the working
classes of the city in the matter of
reduced fares on all lines of the COM
pany In Davenport. They even went
better than the existing demands of
SIX tickets for q quarter by insisting
that a clause be inserted In the ordi-
nance making 1t obligatory upon the
part of the company to sell so tickets
for 81, to all working people, this
being a straight cent rate. The al
dermen also informed President Por-
ter they would insist on a clause be-
ing inserted in the ordinance calling
for a round trip coupon ticket to Mo
line, the Watch Tower and Rock ISL
and baseball park for 20 cents, this
being saving Of 10 cents over the
present rate OF 80 cents and is equiv |
alent to free transportation over the |
government bridge. While naturally |
the street car company is opposed to |
such decided concession, President |
Porter received the committee very |
cordially and they feel confident the |
company will accept the ordinance |
when it is presented to them with the |
above concessions inserted therein.

A "Mite."

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to "mite' In the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite" seems to have been a third of Flemish penny, but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half a far thing, and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books "mite'' stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins. but obviously used in reckoning A work of 1706 makes it one-twefth of a penny. two sixteenth century books one-sixth of farthing. and in 1874 Jeake's arithmetic made 1t as little as one sixty-fourth of a penny.-t-on- don Chronicle.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.

Health as a Primary Factor In lnteIli
 gent Living.
 Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance. upon sym metry of development. physical and mental harmony. that we should do everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means men, tai and moral poise. A large part of our ills come from one sided develop ment, caused by overstinulating some tissue cells and starving others-over. feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding. therefore. Is of vast impor- tance.
 Overeating and improper eating ar> among the curses of the world. Think of the people who put all sorts of in- compatibles into their stomachs at the same time and then use all sorts of uostrums to get rid of their bad ef- eects
 One of the most pathetic sights :a the world is that of a human being struggling hard to carry out bis am bition, yet handicapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut in the world-a one sided giant who might have been a symmetrical power, possessor of a colossal brain largely controlled by dyspeptic stomach. He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do, but he was the victim of starved nerves, of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swet: Marden in Sue cess Magazine
