the colony, but exacted toll for their
work. just as the man who ground
grain for his neighbors was wont to
do. Their profits were said to be enor-

gested that new arrangement should
be made. They were satisfied. how

Praise For the Sardine.

1t is encouraging IN these days. when
everything nice is condemned By scien-
tfc faddists as nasty, to have the high
authority Of the London Lancet IN
support of the popular theory that the
sardine is Of great dietetic value. The
sardine Is good. the Lancet tells US,
because. for one thing. it encourages
the consumption Of oil, which tends to
avoid many Ills. and especially those
associated with wasting diseases and
gouty dispositions" This consumption
Of sardine oil. it adds, prevents the
overlooking Of the tissues with ntrog-
enors waste products, and a digest
ible fat favors nutrition considerably.
The sardine supplies also an excellent
proportion (25 per cent? Of nirogenous
material, and so 1t becomes real and
economical food In addition to this
the sardine has appetizing qualities,

STATE ROAD BUILDING.

Rcassurances come from Georgia of
the good work done by the convicts on
the public roads Of that State. The
system in Georgia il somewhat differ
ent from that adopted in Utah. in that
in Georgia the cousties take charge of
the prisoners and become responsible
for their guarding and return; in Utah
the State keeps charge and control.
Under the Georgia law, the county
may secure a number Of couvicts from
the penitcntary 10 build and repair
roads; the county becomes responsible
for the safety of the prisoners as
well as for their food and clothing. and
the county also furnishes the tools
for the work. Out OF 135 counties in
Georgia III have arranged to employ
convicts on their highways; and most
OF the counties have been employing
them for good while past The word
IS that the work proceeds well, that the
counties safeguard tho prisoners, and
