The efforts to obtain a durable bin

IL Vermont and in Massachusetts,
where crushed stone is abundant, the
roads that are made Of good gravel
appear to be giving good satisfaction.
In the first place, they have the very
decided merit of being much cheaper
than macadam roads, and they seem
to require less scientific and less cost
ly repairing. And in addition they
are not so dusty as the macadam
when the latter has been subjected to
heavy traffic and the wear and tear

Gravel roads are also said to be
gaining in favor in Pennsylvania, but
the difficulty is to find gravel depos-
it's large enough to meet the require
ments of extensive road building and
repairing. Where good gravel can be
had the contention is that the state
can get better results by using it than
by spending much more money for
macadam. Be that as it may, those
whose memories go back beyond the
time of improved road building in this
state remember that the roads were
always fairly good in districts where
gravel was abundant and was freely
used.

By the use of perfect baKiHg powder
the housewife can derive as much econ

original strength and always remains the
same. thus making the food sweet and
wholesome and producing sufficient leav-

Very little of this leavening gas Is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, MAX
