easel Is disease that is very common
among adults, being responsible for
the loss OF many otherwise healthy
teeth, and the indirect cause OF not
few ills more or less seriously affect
ing the general health. 1t attacks the
tissues supporting the teeth, involving
the bony socket and gums, and Is
characterized by loosening of the
teeth, Inflammation and recession OF
the gums and In most instances a dis
charge OF pus from around the affect
ed teeth. In Its early stages there la
little to attract the attention Of the
patient. 1t Is only when the disease is
we'll advanced that the teeth become
loose and painful. There Is probably
no filthier disease occurring In the
mouth, encouraging as 1t does the
growth OF pus producing germs. per.
uniting the Judgment of food between
the loosened teeth and discharging its
purulent matter into the mouth with
every act of mastication; condition
which means not only an unclean and
unhealthy mouth with ultimate loss OF
| the teeth, but eventual impairment OF
| the health.
The chronic abscess Is another po-
tent factor in the production of unsan.
itary mouths, disease which Is com.
mon TO all ages. 1t is, with rare excep.
lions, caused by neglect to properly
care for decaying tooth In its early
stages, with result that the pulp

most instances by acute pain, swelling

symptoms last two or three days, are

casionally this occurs without pain,

we adopt system of continuous
maintenance. The amount of work
required at the time Is usually small.
but ID is imperative that 1t be done
promptly or not only will the amount
be large, but the roads will be bad for
long periods of time.
When the traffic Is not too heavy
our earth road, when properly con-
structed and rightly maintained, can
In general be kept fairly good most or
the year and passabls at all times.
When the trafic Is very heavy the
earth road must give way to hard

brick, etc. But even then a good earth
road is a great gain. as IL provides the
foundation for the hard road.

The opinion is quite general through.
out the country that IL Is useless to
try to do anything to improve Our
earth roads. This Is n mistaken idea.
IN fact. good earth ROAD Is the step
ping stone to macadam road. The
earth road is the foundation for all
future improvements. With proper
plans for the future the earth road

paratlveIy small annual outlay for
maintenance will then serve TO keep
1t in shape until funds are available
for further Improvement with a hard
surface.
One of the most frequent faults with
our present earth roads is that they
are located where they. should not be.
Grades are too often unnecessarily
steep. drainage is poor or entirely lack
Ing and streams are seldom crossed at
the most favorable bridge site.
VI Itlptdlt NhtttClf Va
even TO large extent is out OF the
question. The general location OF the
present roads must be maintained be-
cause OF the farm improvements which
have been made along them. But Won
derful improvements can he made by
modifying the location of short sec
tons here and there. Instead of going
over a steep hill it is often feasible TO
go around it on much easier grade
without materially increasing the dis
lance.
The elimination of one or two steep
hills on Il line OF road will frequently
enable horses to draw three or four
times as much 10 market as they could
draw on the old road. 1t takes APP
proximately four times az much power
to draw loads on 10 per cent grades as
on q level.
The earth road should have at least
six hours of sunshine each day. Brush
and trees which impede the drying &C.
ton of the sun should be removed. The
southern and western exposures should
be as complete as possible. With gravel
and macadam roads this Is not so nee
essary. as q certain amount of mois.

But comparatively few Of our earth
roads have been dignified by any i'm
provement which could be termed con-
struction. To expect good earth road
where none has ever been built Is Ike
expecting harvest from ground which
has never been titled An earth road
must be built, just as macadam or
gravel rond must be built. and skill
and experience are required in order to
secure the best results.
The first and last requisite In road

pose the roadway must be raised eight

Don't Pull Out
The Gray Hairs
A Few Applications of a
Simple Remedy Will Bring
Back the Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and a
dozen will take its place." is an
old saying, which is, to a great
extent, true, if no steps are taken
to stop the cause. When gray
hairs appearit is asign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Ma
lures call for help. Gray hair,
dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is
falling out, is not necessarily
sign of advancing age, for there
are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair with
out a streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or
when the hair seems to be life
less or dead, some good, reliable
hair-restoring treatment should
be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best
preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our
!. grandparents used. The best
preparation of this kind is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, preparation of domes-
tic sage and sulphur, scientifcal-
ly compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimu-
lants, the whole mixture being
carefully balanced and tested by
experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is
clean and wholesome and per-
fectly harmless. 1t refreshes
dry. parched hair. removes dan
drnff and gradually restores
faded or gray hair to its natural
color.
Don't de1av another minute.
Start using Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur at once and see what a
difference a few days treatment
will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to
the public at fifty-cents a bottle,
and is recommended and sold by

When it appeared that Mr.. Knox had
no such idea in mind, and that his visit
was purely friendly, he was warmly re.

seems to have been that he has allayed
the suspicians of the Costa R1cans on this

Secretary Knox told President Cabrera
that the United States would insist on a
faithful observance Of the Washington
convention, which is q treaty signed by
all Of the Central American countries to
prevent International war in Central
America.
In Salvador Mr.. Knox found curious
and openly avowed antipathy for his
fellow-countrymen. The Salvadoreans
were most hospitable to him. and it seems
had no complaint against the United
States as government. but the attt-
cans who had come to live among them
had aroused a prejudice in their minds
against foreigners in general.
Secretary Knox paid his visit to Vene-
zuela during Lent. That is a Catholic
country. but the bishop granted a spe-
in the festivities in connection with the
Secretary's visit. They gave him a re-
