Especial to The Review.)

Ames, Iowa, Sept. 28.-Thomas H..
Mac onald, of this place, chairman of
the Iowa State Highway commission,
discussing the Iowa good road move
ment, it's past, it's present and it's fu-
ture, said:
"Concisely and pertinently, Mr.. Geo.
Harvey in the September North Amer
lean Review. summarizes the real rea-
son that the movement for better
roads is receiving such enthusiastic
support of all kinds and all classes of
men, when he says on good roads and
motor cars, Both are savers of time
and doors of labor The demand that
the public road fund be invested and
not dissipated, is bringing results. Out
OF the $5,OOO,O0O and more that Iowa
alone will contribute during 1910 to
provide and improve her highways,
will come more Of sood drainage, good
grading and permanent bridges than
during any previous year.
Ten years ago the demand In this
state from those foremost in advocat
ing road Improvement was for bond
issues, little thought berg centered
upon the investment of the yearly
sums provided through the regular
taxes. Since 1908, period Of over
seven years, we have spent in cash
taxes more than $40, 200 in Iowa on
highway Improvement. No road officer
may now fail to understand the good
results to be secured with the homely
split-log drag, with tile drainage and
by the use of concrete for permanent
waterways. All these and more have
been a thousand times successfully
demonstrated. They are not all of
road improvement, but they are indie
alive. Experience has proven the divi-
dends we may expect from a careful
investment OF road funds and for the
time our attention can, with profit, be
localized on the system by which the
funds are handled"
The discussion of Good roads an in
vestment, not dissipation" to which
Chairman Mcdonald Of Ames refers,
arises in Mr.. Harvey's optimistic ar
ticle, "A Plea for Conservation of
Common Sense" in which he takes

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor

A Fortune in snuffboxes.

Count Nesselrode, the Russian
statesman of the last century, was
famous collector of snuffboxes. He
collected them as diplomatist, re-
ceiving one or two for each treaty he
signed, and when he had got 100000
and became a capitalist. His capital
he invested so judiciously that his
descendants are multimillionaires The
moral of Count Nesselrode's expert
ence is that snuffbox is not to be
sneeZed at.

hopeful view of American conditions
today and says political discussions
and labor agitations cannot shake the
foundation of the government and that
the people, supreme in rule, will work
out their problems rightly in the fu-
ture as they have in the past. In this
bright view he points out the good
roads movement in which Iowa is at
the lead, as an indication of American
prosperity and good sense.

ROYAL ACCOUNTS.
Methods Adopted by the Kings
Of England in the Transaction
Of Business.

No advertisement is more valuable
to British tradesman than the royal
warrant, which allows him to place
the royal arms over his place of bus
mess and describe himself as "pur-
veyor by appointment to his majesty
the king"
Each tradesman who has the royal
custom must send in his bill at the
end of the month. 1t is compared with
his ledger account kept at Marlbor-
ough House and if correct is paid in
the first week of the month. No dis
count is asked on any of the royal
accounts. A tradesman who receives
the royal custom is informed that
he must supply goods at the lowest
reasonable prices, and there is never
any attempt at bargaining by the Of
fetal of the royal household. If a
tradesman is thought to be making
extortionate charges he simply loses
the royal custom.
Coal is supplied to Marlborough
House by contract, the contracts be-
ing made for three years and the con-
tractors paid in equal half yearly pay
ments. Window cleaning, carpet
cleaning and chimney sweeping are
all done by contract, and the glass
frames of large pictures are also kept
clean by contract.
Servants wages are paid monthly.
the upper servants being paid by
check sent to each from the treasur-
er's department. The kings accounts
for clothes, cigars. theaters, newspa-
pers, books and other personal articles
are sent to his secretary, not the
treasurer, and are also paid monthly.

recalled in connection with the death
of the father. About ten years ago
the family consisted of eleven chill
dren, hale, hearty and full of the
promise of long life. But diphtheria
suddenly attacked the children and in
less than two weeks nine had died
from the effects of the terrible
scourge. The blow was so staggering
that the parents never fully recovered
from it.-Carroll Herald.

The value of dry farming has been
made a success this season in produc-
ing melons and tomatoes by Frank
harrison, of Harrison county. When
the drouth struck Harrison county, Mr..
harrison experimental with his melon
and tomato patches by giving them
dry farming cultivation, and as re-
suit he has sold SITS worth of melons
and tomatoes up to the present time
on one acre, while others who refused
to give the dry farming trial lost
both melons and tomatoes. Mr.. Lar
rison raised and sold one melon that
weighed forty-eight pounds and has
others larger at the present time, be-
sides many not so large. the very ex-
istence of which must be credited to

chance of recovery. During last week
Judge Church sent DR.. j. X. Johnson,
of this city, to Dunbar, in the hope
that osteopathy might do something
toward restoring life to the paralyzed
lower half of the body, but he quite
agreed with the other physicians that
the condition was beyond remedy. In
spite of the desperate state of the
patient. family and friends refuse to
abandon hope and every possible
agency known to practice is being re-
sorted to, in efforts to prolong and pos
sibly save her life.-Jefferson Bee.

future policy of the d. and o. railroad,
the Baltimore American says:
He would not he the man to enter
upon an enterprise which would have

not directly or Indirectly be a party to
the suppression OF the activities OF the
Baltimore and Ohio in the interests OF
any other road. His commission reads
a right OF way for the Baltimore and

tie and send the road booming along

his clear utterances can mean nothing
