ed $1,000 and $2,500 additional has
been raised by popular subscription
to maintain this highway.
No assistance can be expected from
the state outside of that extended
through the work Of the prisoners
from the penitentiary. The entire
state has only 10000 people, and
the highway only traverses five out
of the twenty-five counties.
The counties are all doing what
they can to push the good work
along; the state is helping through
its prisoners, but under the present
circumstances the work cannot be &C.
complished properly without federal
assistance. In fact Uncle Sans help
must be procured in order to givethis
highway the attention it deserves.
With government assistance, every
state, city and county along the route
will contribute literally to the cause
of good roads. Without government
assistance, the settlement and popu-
lating Of the county along the, route
must first be awaited. Their work
Is not sufficient. If this road Is to
be made first class thoroughfare
government assistance is a necessity.

MILKMEN FREQUENTLY GUILTY
OF SPREADING DISEASES

Particular care should be taken at
this time of the year on account OF
the prevalence of contagious diseases
of children. There is no greater ave-
nle of transmission of diseases of this
kind than through the city milk SUP
ply. Milk is delivered from house to
house in bottles and the following
day one receives, not the same bottle
that he had the day before, but one
coming fir m some other household.
If there should be slight contagion in
the home a d the milk bottles are not
perfectly taken care of, they can cas-
i,y become contaminated and the di-
sease spread from place to place.
The housewife has within her
means an excellent way of disinfect-
ing the bottles, because a short sub
lection to boiling water will absolute
ly destroy disease germs. The milk
man on the other hand can not take
chances on the home cleaning of bot
ties, but should be compelled to sub
NIT all bottles to boiling or steam
treatment before filling them again
with milk. Many of these diseases,
such as diptheria, scarlet fever, ty-
phoid, influenza and measles will find
the milk an excellent food in which
to develop and the dairyman cou.o
easily distribute cultures Of these di-
seases throughout his route. fact,
many of the large epidemics have
been traced directly to the city milk
man. LIN such epidemics the cases
were found along particular route
followed by one particular milk ve.:-
der.
The point is this, the germs tina,
cause these diseases of children are
most easily destroyed by heat and
there is absolutely no excuse for
mi'kmen being guilty of Distributing
contagious diseases of any. kind:

the utilization of convict labor to
make good roads. The experiment
has been proven successful-the con-
vict is made a stronger, healthier and
better man, more self reliant, but

ward-of at least so cents a day de-

books again Of us would do the

II our government would stop the
building Of battleships or the instru-
ments for destructiveness one year,
and use that appropriation for one
public highway, it would be a safe
and sensible thing to do.
To. conclude / will recommend for
the consideration of this legislative
committee present, four propositions:
1st.. Votes for women.
End. To compel county commits
sioners to erect sign boards at all
street intersections and cross roads.
3rd. To change the state constltu-
ton of Illinois, in such way as to
empower officials of state with au-
thority to compel property holders
to clean their side walks Of snow and
ice or pay the city officials Tor so
doing.
4th. That the legislature appro-

agricultural department of the | IL

The worse roads for an automobile

Owners of automobiles rather pay

WYOMING ROADS

A person making an interstate or
transcontinental auto trip across the
state of Wyoming, is impressed with
two things, viz, the exceptionally
good roads traversed and the smalr
apparent amount of work that has
been done on these roads. Were It
not for the exceptional materials pro-
vided by nature, the autoist would
fare poorly indeed in his trip across
the state.
