FITS INTO SASH OF WINDOW
Simple Refrigerator That Surely Will
Be Welcomed as a Great
Convenience.

A man in the District of Columbia
has designed a window refrigerator
that will doubtless become popular
with residents Of apartments or
small flats. 1t fits into the space oc-
cupied by the lower sash Of win

sill II 1t obstructs the light too much.
The refrigerator consists of box-like

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD d
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartcs. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are &c feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biiousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver

/ had my way l would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lirSng of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are q tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishnent from food that is put
into it,
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating They school the bowels
to act without physic.

rows of perforations to admit the cold

the window. For those who have no
room for regular refrigerator this
little outdoor cupboard will prove a
great convenience during the cool

 The roadway which have suggested, it is estimated, will cost, after the preliminary work of grading and sur veying has been done, of from s7000 to S12000 per mile, but this will mean roadway that will be as lasting in part as those built by Rome in her palmiest days, or probably as monu- mental as those Cortez found in his conquest of Peru, the work of that now departed race, the Aztecs and the mound builders.
 The commissioners of Jefferson county have looked with favor upon the stand ardized roads which I have suggested and this more particularly after some years of experience in an effort to build substantial roads for the county: roads that can be kept in repair with the least outlay. It is understood that the matter has been taken up in tentative way with the manufacturers of paving brick, with view to having one mile of this roadway constructed on the line of the proposed highway from Decatur to Montgomery, at some point in Jefferson county. It is understood that the brick makers are willing to supply their prod

 1 desire to call attention lere to some of the mistakes made in experimental work under the federal department of agriculture. An itemized statement of the costs prepared by L. ". Page, direc- tor of the public roads of the United States, shows that the experimental road constructed here under his supervision. known as part of the Ensley boulevard was more costly than the brick road pro- posed. There were five different experi- ments by MT Page into which much ex- cavating was done; slag and limestone and tar were used. To sum up, this road Is too costly. too hard to keep up, and is in more than ene way unsatisfac- tory This roadway cost an average of s1.10 per square yard, or sum total of H3,25l.
 1t Is to be hoped that the Selma meet Ing will be productive of some practical result In the matter of building standard roadways. After while there will be some plan formulated to get good roads meeting in this state composed largely of men directly interested in the work and others experienced in the practical work of building standardized roads, and not so much personal and political eXploi- tations as through some influence have largely come into these meetings. There has been entirely too much hot air and political preferential play in the arrang- ing of the programme and selecting of delegates for these important meetings. The suggestive head in these matters has not been altogether unselfish, and the per- sonal equation suggests some sulterior purpose of graft; until this is eliminated, this great work will be more or less handicapped here in Alabama.

THE BUILDING OF HIGHWAYS
By PERCY CLARK.

The agitation and the public inter est in that most important subject, the construction of a system of standard ized public highways in Alabama, prom
 ses to bear good fruit. Early in this year I wrote an article for The Age Herald while the legislature was in session, and I am pleased to note that some of it's suggestions were adopted and that the highway commission was created with an engineer and assist ant.
 I also note with pleasure that Sem ator Spragns, one of the members Of the commission, has cheerfully indorsed my suggestion that there be construct ed first a north and south highway and an east and west one; that IS rel atively as to the compass. Now, with a series of intersecting highways reach- ing the principal cities and towns or the state not on the main trunk lines, we will have solved very important problem in the development, progress and prosperity of all the people of Ala bama.
 It is highly creditable that in the movement already under way to build one of these highways, that the cit izens along route, prompted by the very best of motives, have volunteered
 to do their part in giving, it is said. a days labor and the use of teams This will serve to fix a direct and personal interest on their part. Hay ing done this work and seeing the of ito terial creating more permanency, and less trouble and expense of mainten- ance it is not improbable that they will have been educated to the neces- sity of voting the necessary funds Tor the great work; and then they will
 see the necessity for providing revenue
 for this great undertaking, with the view of building roads good at all sea- sons of the year and for every class of vehicle. 1t will then become evident to all the citizens, as it is now to many who have studied the subject, that large appropriations from the state treas ury and the counties and ultimately
 from the federal treasury will be need | ed for this work.
