A Good Roads Suggestion.

E.
Mt. Pleasant News: When 1t comes
to good roads the OHIO system is adj
nrirable. Instead of river-to-river
roads it is county to county, which is
more comprehensive For instance, If
the system should be developed here
there would be radiating from Mount
Pleasant good road to the county
seats adjacent, as for instance road
to Fairfield, a road to Keosauqua, a
road to Fort Madison and Keokuk,
good roads to Wapello, and a good
road to Washington 1t would be Very
easy to develop this system in this
congressional district as the Blue Grass
road already gives us a painted road
from here to Fairfield, from here to
Burlington, from here to Wapello. and
aside from little stretch between
here and Salem, to Fort Madison The
road to WASHINGTON is we'll defined
and the only road that would be work
ed out would he from here to Keo
sauaua This would give a good roads
system running across the country
north and south and east and west
The local good roads officials coulG
well look into this matter as i
might be a good thing for Mt. Pleas
ant to investigate and push.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Worlds NervIest Girl.

The most dangerous and terrific of
circus thrillers is being presented this |
season with the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Bros circus by young French
woman, Mile Marie Petrol. Seated
in a heavy automobile she makes a
terrific dash down steep incline, the
car and the rider then leaping high
into the air and making two complete
somersaults in space before lighting
on spring platform fifty feet away.
The danger of the act is apparent
to all beholders. AS the car makes
its frightful leap into space, tragedy
seems inevitable The first turn is
made in safety, but this only intensi-
fies the suspense. For the fraction OF
a second the automobile pauses in the
air, bottom up, as though its energy
were already spent. This for the au-
dience is the critical moment and
many avert their eyes, death to the
brave young woman seems certain. AS
gracefully as bird wings its way
across meadow the second somer-
sault is turned and with heavy crash
the car hits the platform
This is but one of many sensational
numbers with the show. The Ty-Bell
+ sisters, from France, are presenting
an aerial spectacle known as the "Hu-
man Butterfly" act 1t is fully as
dangerous and it has great beauty as
t we'll Among the trained animal num-
hers are two troupes of riding, jug
Cling and musical seals, Prof. Taylor's
monkey circus and the three best
trained herds of elephants in the
world
The big circus viii be seen in Keo-
lsuk on Thursday, Sept 81, giving two
performances, which in every detail
will be the same as those presented
in New York City where this show is
considered the pattern for all. The
parade to be given in the forenoon is
a great moving worlds exposition. Il
is three miles in length and the entire
equipment is new.
There are $50 artists with the show
gathered from the four corners of the
earth There are riders from Arabia
acrobats from Italy, equilibrists from
France, gymnasts from Germany, Jug
glers from India. aerialists from Rus
STA, clowns from Persia, animal train
ers from Africa and balancers iron
Japan. There are Cossacks, Australia
bmshmen, Saharan wonderworkers, Re
man characters, Spanish toreodore
and hippodrome racers and contest
ants from many savage and civilize
lands. Novelty is the keynote of tn
big show. Everything has been don
to give the circus an entirely differ
ent aspect from the circuses of tn
past In this effort the management
has been most successful.

Good Use for Old Wire Rope.

Old wire rope is used in certain
French mines for reinforcing old tim
bers. especially the car. pieces of sets.
The old rope is stretched longitudinal
iy around the timber. the ends being
held fast between the roof and the
top of the cap piece SO they cannot
slip. When timber starts to bend
under the weight OF the roof part Of
the tension is taken up by the wire
cable. enabling a miner to put in ad
ditional supports before fall occurs
The ends of the cap pieces are tapeled
and grooved deep enough to receive
the rope and prevent any part of it
projecting beyond the bearing ends
of the timber pieces.

Use Il for Cooking

The trouble is here: Most people
who buy the scent cans don't use Van
Camps for cooking.
They use it for coffee and cereals,
perhaps. But they still use raw milk
for making milk dishes. And there
they lose the greatest service that Van
Camps Milk can render.
Milk dishes made with Van Camps
have flavor and richness which raw
milk never gives. You will use Van
Camps forever when you once learn
the difference.
The reason is that raw milk separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
When millunan's milk is used in cook
ing, it generally comes very far from
whole milk.
Van Camps is whole milk. It has all
ofsthe butter fat, all of the solids it had
when it came from the COW. 1t will
make your milk dishes twice as de-
licious as dishes made Of raw milk. I

Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
xo-thirds the water evaporated.
The milk as it comes to you is %
per cent solids, 8 per cent butter fat.
If you replace the water which we
take out, you should get rich milk for
about six cents per quart.
That is based on buying the l0-cent
cans, and buying them by the case.
For groccrs give discounts on cases.
But the Scent eans--even when
bought by the case-make the milk
cost you over eight cents per quart
when you replace the water.

one-third more when you buy the Scent

from Norfolk. the naval authorities here

feet that one blucjacket was removed

Solace in a dying condition. After his
death an autopsy disclosed that his
death was due to Indigestion. probably
resulting from eating some food kept in
cold storage.
There was no mention Of any other
sickness among the Michigan's crew. but
that fact Is not conclusive. because only
in case of grave illness is special re-
port made to the Navy Department. II
might easily happen that several sailors
might suffer from intestinal troubles OF
