BILE route to Knoxville, and will
be the shortest route to the coal
fields of Tennessee, and will
cross the mountains through the
finest body Of timber that can
be found. It will pass through
a section Of country unsurpassed
for scenery, mountain resorts,
water power and many other re-
sources; a section which badly
neods developing. This road
would cross the one at Rosman
leading from Brevard to Lake
Toxoway, and one at Sylvia near
Webster from Asheville to Muir
ply. This route will be as near
to Asheville as the present one
and more than fifty miles near
er to ITnoxville. Taking the
line from Greenville to Marietta
and from Maryville to Knoxville
which has already been built,
there would not be but little over
one hundred miles to be built.
The people along the Saluda and
Oolenoy would welcome the
road but they are resting very
easy about it, knowing that Sc

and advantages are in this route,

the Oolenoy to Eastatoe Gap.
1t is only a matter of time, and
that not far distant, when a
road will 90 through that gap.
A road has been built from
Knoxville to Seviervi!le, about
IS miles, and I understand the
object is to come by Brevard to
Marietta. 1t could come by
Waynesville and BOSNIAN thro'
the Eastatoe Gap and to Green
vile and be as near as by Bre-
ward with such a survey as they
would have to make to cross the
mountains. This survey would
probably not be as good from
Sevierville to Rosman as the
other from Maryville to Rosman
and might be longer, but would
be far better than by Brevard on
account of crossing the noun
tains.
Remember this: 1t will not be
long until the Southern will ex-

Fred" said Aunt Hildreth to the
young man who had come down with
rod and gun and dog for a weeks
stay, you have finished with col
lege."
And college has finished with me"
he laughed.
You barely scraped through"
Barely, aunt"
"And you haven't yet seriously
thought of profession?"
why, aunt, l couldn't run frog

spent all that money to send me
through college. It's absurd for me
to talk of taking up profession. l

er, but can think of nothing else.
I'm careless, happy-golucky lot, and
I'm here to own up to it. guess you
spoiled me by being too good to me-"
Fred Wanless was Aunt Hildreths
nephew. She hadn't legally adopted
him, but he had lived with her since
he was boy Of ten, and now he was
past %. She had money, and it was
generally understood that every dol
lar would be left to him. He hadn't
been unduly pampered, and he hadn't
taken advantage of her kindness and
generosity, but he was one of the
thousands of young men who are
easy-going. and won't work until
obliged to.
Nothing further was said on the
subject for two days, and meanwhile
Aunt Hildreth carried a very sober
face. Fred noticed it, and it worried
him. AT length he asked If she was
worrying about anything.
Yes, am" was the reply. Fred,
I'm sorry to tell you that I've lost
money"
That was strictly true. She had
lost flve-dollar bill the week before
he came.
That's too bad, aunt" was the re-
ply. You got sure tip and lost on

Cretans Always Ride.

We have to 60 back to a very early
date to find the Cretans without hors-

of the horse to Crete Is in my posses.
sion. 1t may even point to the first
horse that every arrived in the island.
The figure Of horse, with a tree in
the background, is cut intaglio In one
side of a three-sided sealstone. Per-
haps the owner, who used 1t to stamp
the clay seals Of that prehistoric pc.
riod, was horse dealer, like the Iceni
of Norfolk, only thousands OF years be
fore them. Or perhaps in the course
of his import and export trade, carried
on nearly $500 years before Christ.
he had acquired horse in exchange.
One wonders whether his neighbors
envied him this strange animal, and
asked him sarcastically If he were 60
ing to keep a menagerie. and chaffed
him about his white elephant Now
the Cretans are so welded to their
animals that they have saying that
nobody walks but asses and dogs. ane

THE HOG SERENE.

Consider for a moment the hog.
The hog is natures sedative. He is
the antithesis OF excitement and tho
anesthetic of worry. When frayed
nerves cry out In protest, and the
tired brain aches with surfeit OF
care or pleasure, 60 then to the
humble pig sty and learn a lesson
of repose. What does the farmer do
when the hired man gives notice, or
grasshoppers threaten to take the
upper eighty? He heads for the hog
lot; and, with his elbows on the top
rail and one foot In an intermediate
crack, he watches the swine at their
evening meal till his soul finds peace,
says the Kansas City Star. AS
preventive of nervous prostration,

riot and the seashore Is an insured
ton. His peaceful grunt is a lullaby
to tortured ears, and his placid OBJ
livion Of the flight Of time Is a re-
buke to the strenuous. AS he pokes
his nose into the moist earth--never
furiously, but with calm and quiet
and upturns the succulent roots that
he may add weight to his hams and
breadth to his spare ribs, to the ultl-
mate profit Of the butcher, we are re-
minded OF the futility Of crying out
against the eate for which we are be-
ing fattened and taught to bow the
head In humility. Reach over the
top of the fence and scratch his brist-
iy back with raspy cob and hts legs,
unable to support his excess burden
of pleasure. crumble beneath him, and
he sinks to sleep. singing song OF
contentment that rumbles forth from
cavernous depths. His humble limi.
tations have not made the hog pes
simist. On the contrary. he is your

Brussels Sprouts.

Brussels sprouts will be used freely
by the economical housewife while
they are cheap and good. To prepare
this vegetable properly the sprouts
should be blanched In cold water after
boiling. II this is not done they will
be almost as coarse as cabbage. The
ideal sauce is Drowned butter. It Is
much nicer than the cream sauce, so
often used, and great many other
vegetables that are constantly being
served with cream sauce would be
better with Drowned butter or maitre
d'hotel sauce.

open.Air Schools Increasing.

Since January l, 1907, sixty-five open
air schools for children afflicted with
or predisposed to tuberculosis have
been established in twenty-eight cities,
according to an announcement made
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the United
States was established on January /.
1907, by the board Of education Of
Providence, r. l., at the instance Of
DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established in May of the same
year at Pittsburg, and the third at
Boston in July, 1908. According to
the reports received by the national
association, the result Of the open air
class-work has been to restore most
Of the children to normal health and
efficiency. One Of these open air
schools or classes should be estab-
lished for each $4,000 population, e.
pecially in cities.

When Nature gives her skAal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always

To put OIL the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ar
coma man says:
For years could not safely eat
any breakfast. tried all kinds Of
breakfast foods. but they we're all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. drank strong
coffee, too. which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods.
and use Postum and Grape-Nuts in
stead. I shall never regret taking his
advice.
THE change they have worked in
me is wonderful. now have no more
OF the distressing sensations in my

any headaches. have gained IL
pounds in weight and feel better in
