HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Big Point in Favor Of Construction Is
Economy of Time and Force in
Reaching Market.

No one questions the statement
that good roads have high money
value to the farmers of the nation, and
it may be said that this alone is sufi-
cient to justify the cost of their con-
struction as rapidly as practicable I'M
der an efficient, economical and equit-
able system of highway Improvement.
The big point in favor of this expen-
diture is the economy of time and
force in transportation between farm
and market, enabling the growers to
take advantage of fluctuations in buy
ing and selling, as we'll as enhancing
the value of real estate 1t is esti-
mated that the average annual loss
from poor roads is rs cents an acre,
while the estimated average increase
resulting from improving all the pub
lie roads is 50. The losses in five
years would aggregate $2,432 for ev-
cry section Of land, or more than
enough to improve two miles of pub
lie highway. The necessity of good
roads is obvious, as it would enhance
the value of each section Of land
about $3.50, or more than double the
estimated cost Of two miles Of i'm
proved highway, which constitutes the
quota for $40 acres of land.

VIII Escape Many Diseases That

Pale People.

Enough disease germs enter the av-
erage human body every day to cause
death if the healthful organism did not
combat these germs and render them
harmless.
Let the human system become run
down, or debilitated, and this power Of
resistance to disease is weakened.
Soon the disease germs get the upper
hand, an acute sickness follows or the
patient becomes chronic invalid.
It is in the blood that the battle to
maintain the health is fought. Keep
the blood toned up, the bowels open
and observe ordinary care as regards
food and rest and you.will avoid much
sickness.
Debility is not recognized disease
but is a condition in which the suffer
er cannot get a good nights sleep,
wakes up all tired out, has no strength
or ambition, is nervous has poor APP
petite, has trouble with the stomach,
and is subject to headaches and back
