Music at the Lexington TrOtS.

Visitors to the big Lexington
Meeting the past few years will
remember with pleasure the de-
lightful entertainment furnished
between heats by Weber's Prize
Band of America. This musical
organization will again be heard
at the coming meeting, October
9Th to 10Th. The reputation of
Weber's Band is well known
throughout the Central West, and
even as far as the Pacific Coast,
and needs no introduction here.
1t is a rare privilege to listen to
programme of popular hits and
classical numbers rendered by it.
These concerts are to be heard
daily during the Trots. Every
detail for making the meeting a
social as we'll as sporting success
has received the most careful at
tention. Lovers of good racing,
good music, good people and good
cheer will do well to read the ad-

A WISE NON-ADVfRTISER.

We have fnally read of one ma
who ought not to advertise. w
republish Will Lampton's accoun
of him: "
There was man in our town
And he was wondrous wise;
He opened many places, yet
He wouldn't advertise;
He thought it foolish to announce
His business as some think;
They ought to do, and said he had
No need of printers ink.
Promotion of publicity
He said was something which
The more he had of, that much less
His chance of getting rich. 2
He said he'd studied it and knew
That advertising would,
Beyond the shadow of doubt,
Do more harm than good.
Indeed, this map in our town
Was truly wondrous wise;
He was burglar. which is why
He didn't advertise.

who shall say that the same cause
is not often responsible for crimes
Let each individual look we'll
to the purity of atmosphere in his
own home. and let the authorities
see to it that places of instruction
and entertainment are forced to
obey the laws of sanitation and
health. DO this, and disease
would soon become almost an
affliction of the past.

air. We have stringent laws to
protect the purity of our food sup
pies but practically none for the
still more important matter of
keeping pure air that we breathe.
Neither is there any subject con-
nected with our health and lon
gently on which there is more
dense ignorance and indifference
than this of ventilation. The
great majority of our houses have
little or no system of keeping the
air pure. Loaded as it is with
disease germs, it is entirely unfit
to be taken into the lungs and
when thus used becomes a pro-
life source of organic troubles.
In many of our homes the only
way to ventilate is open window
or door and this is but rarely
done on a cold wlntry day. The
result is that the air soon be-
comes vitiated and is but little
less dangerous than actual poison
when taken into the system. If
this foul air prevented colds there
would at least be some excuse
for breathing it, but such is not
the case. The less perfect the
ventilation the more easily colds
are contracted. 10 the arctic re-
gions colds are unknown, but in
our more civilized sections these
Affections come with almost uner-
ring regularity.
If our homes are characterized
by imperfect ventilation What are
we to say of our public halls,
theaters, churches and school
buildings9 These are vastly
worse off in this direction and for
the most part are hot houses of
disease. Much merriment has
been occasioned by men falling
asleep during a religious service,
but as a matter of fact they are
simply narcotized by the impure
air. If a window is opened some
one at once hastens to close it
down for fear of a draft. The
audience becomes listless and half
mesmerized by a lack of oxygen
and the Individual members are
not capable of gauging the logic
of the discourse as the brain cells
cannot act at their highest capac-
lily.
The same statement will hold
good of all our public halls and
other places where there are large
gatherings. If the true secret of
the dull scholar could be learned
the cause would more often be
found in lack of pure air than
a deficiency of brain fibre. Ane-
mia and bad air have too long
been associated, and the regular
attendant at public gatherings is
apt sooner or later to become
bloodless for the above reasons.
No brain can act brilliantly with
out oxygen, and thus good venti-
lation and progression go hand in
hand. The Greeks and Romans
held all their great assemblies in
the open air and who shall say
that the classic beauty of those
civilizations was not largely due
to that facts
Modern medical science has
demonstrated that the open air
treatment is the best for nearly
all forms of disease. The tuber-
culosis patient is at once ordered
to sleep out of doors and in its
incipient state this usually eff
fects a cure. Any agency that is
destructive to health is best man
aged in the open air and this fact
itself should convince any think
ing mind of its therapeutic value.
In this editorial we have made
no attempt to point out the best
method of ventilation, as that is
matter that should be left to
the judgment of architects and
experts. 1t should. however, be

TO TUNNEL. UNDER CHANNEL
Long Delayed France-EngIish Project
ls Once More Being Put
Forward.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
a French mining engineer, says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed, but it was not
until 1867 that 1t seemed that the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were a dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The ac-
cepted scheme was that Of tunnel
bored beneath the bed of the channel.
The estimated cost of the undertake
ing was about $50,000,00O. Prelimi-
nary boring had been made, when the
work was interrupted by the Franco
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne.
gotiations concerning the tunnel.
leaving the matter in the hands of a
Joint commission. Failure on the
part of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted in the fail
ure of the enterprise in 1880. Now
the project is receiving some atten-
ton, a better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people of the
two countries.

WHERE GOOD ROADS Benefit
Much Time and Money to Deliver
Small Load Of Apples.

Recently my man went to the coun-
ty seat to deliver rs bushels of apples.
The mud was so deep that the team
was repeatedly stopped to wind on
level stretches and on many hills
brake was not necessary, writes D. H.
Watts in the New England Homestead.
The time required to make the round
trip of 80 miles was 10 hours, not
counting the time used feeding the
team and in unloading. Much less
time and scarcely any wear and tear
of team, wagon and harness would
have delivered IS bushels on a mac
adam or brick road bed.
II man and team are worth "a a
day, and they are, then we lost So
earning capacity that day and worked
very hard 10 hours (more than day
and half, by eight-hour day system)
to earn q days wages. The gigantic
question is not, do good roads cost
too much, but how much more do
bad roads cost us? Let every farmer
be a committee of one to figure on
road profits and losses. The postof-
fee department and many others might
we'll participate. The consumer of
farm products is a sufferer also, as
because of these ill-kept roads his sup
ply comes inadequately at times, and
again so as to demoralize the market
It is true that difficult transportation
invariably means higher prices at the
consumers door.

NARROW ROADS ARE FAVORED
Agitation to Cut Width to Thirty Fest
Has Been Taken Up In kansas-
Easier to Care For.

The agitation which was begun In
Iowa two years ago to cut down the
width of country roads, allowing the
unused strips of land along each side
of the highway to revert to the ad-
jacent property owner, has now been
taken up in Kansas, where the state
highway engineer is advocating a plan
similar to that advocated in Iowa by
Governor Carroll, says the Iowa Home
stead. The argument both in Iowa
and in Kansas is that by mar
rowing the highways to thirty feet,
and maintaining the entire width
as a highway and drainage sys.
tenn, the wall of weeds upon each side
of the roadway would be dispensed
with and great waste of land would
be minimized. The Kansas highway
engineer has figured that a sixty-foot
roadway takes 1855 acres from two
sides of each section Of land, or twen-
ty-nine acres from each section II
there is a road on all four sides. By
abandoning thirty feet of each road
that is now sixty feet wide, three and
two-thirds acres would revert to the
owner of each quarter section, thus
materially adding to the farm income
The situation in Kansas is consider
ably akin to that in Iowa, only a
portion (from one-third to one-half) of
the land allotted to highway being
used as an actual roadway. Those who
are back of the movement in both Of
the states believe that better results
will be obtained by narrowing the road
and keeping the narrower channel in
better repair, while at the same time
adding thousands Of acres Of rich farm
land to the states aggregate. Wheth.
er the agitation bears fruit or not 1t
can hardly fail to be of value in fur-
thering the cause Of good roads by in
creasing public interest in the subject.

unfit for table use. This may be all
overcome by the use of an old stove,
one that is hardly fit for use in the
house for heating purposes.
Make a hole that will accommodate
the size of pipe you happen to have
near the floor Of the meat house; set
the stove. five or six feet from the
house, that there may be used three
joints Of pipe. This will permit the
smoke to cool sufficiently, which will
give the meat a fine flavor.
It would be better to spend two or
three dollars for a stove than to run
a great risk in building fire in the
smoke house.

slightly moist, clean sand.
The Toulouse has become one of
the important adjuncts to the modern

bother crops that are planted on fall
plowed land.
Alfalfa under congenial surround
ings or conditions is a business crop
and no loafer.
A. coat of manure put on the garden
this fall will give a good account OF
itself next June.
Hot bed sashes are usually three
by six feet in dimensions, but smaller
sizes may be used.
Seed corn Is an expensive luxury If
placed where the birds, poultry, mice
and rats can get it.
1t is quite common to sow buck
wheat, especially on poor land, as a
green manure crop.
A good time now to haul and spread
manure on the vegetable garden SO
that winter rains can do their part.
Gardens infested with cut worms
may be helped by keeping the land
free from vegetation all fall and burn
ing all trash.
Seed potatoes stored in the cellar
should be kept in as light place as
possible. Light toughens the skins
and retards sprouting.
