GRADES AND GOOD ROADS
Highways Travelled by Heavily Loaded
Vehicles Should Be Kept Down
to Three Per Cent.

A one per cent grade on a road
means a rise of one foot for each
hundred feet of distance travelled up
the hill. A ten per cent. grade means
ten feet rise in each hundred feet SO
Travelled. A one per cent grade, then,
means that in travelling up hill one
mile an ascent is made Of 52s feet,
while a ten per cent grade means a
rise in altitude of 52S feet in a mile
Accurate tests have shown that a
horse which can pull 1000 pounds on
a level road can pull only $40 pounds
on rise of one foot in fifty, and on a
rise of one foot in ten he can pull
only $50 pounds. These facts show
that the greatest load than can be
hauled over a road is the load which
can be taken up the steepest hill on
that road, or through the deepest
mud hole. 1t is therefore advised
that all highways travelled by heavily
loaded vehicles should be kept within
three or four per cent. grade If
practicable. To do this may require
change of location to get around
hills, always keeping in mind that the
lower the grade the larger the load
may be hauled and the cost of haulage
kept at the lowest point.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Delta People Know How to Save It..

Many Delta people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
. neys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon.
sible for vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need tu
suffer nor to remain in danger. Use
Doan's Kidney Pills-a remedy that
has helped thousands of kidney suf.
ferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt.
A. d. Fairbanks, S. Third ST. Mont
rose, Colo, says: Il consider Doan's
Kidney Pills a good medicine for kid
ney trouble. This opinion is based on
my own experience which though not
extensive, was very satisfactory. I
used Doan' Kidney Pills for disordered
kidneys. The kidney secretions were
too frequent in passage and highly
colored. Doan's Kidney Pills remov-
ed this weakness and my knowledge

Birds a Help to the Farmer.

The demand for the protection Of
wild birds was once based solely on
humane and esthetic grounds; now the
demand is coming to be based in addi-
ton on economic grounds, which will
commend it to a larger number of men
and insure it more careful hearing
in the court of public opinion. Bird
slaughter not long ago was decried be-
cause the native songsters were being
killed at the behest of millinery
fashion.
Now another note is sounded. The
increase of insect pests and conse-
4uent reduction of the harvests has
corresponded with the decrease of the
birds. In addition to filling their
craws with insects numerous wild
birds feed on weed seeds, and weeds
are handicap in agriculture.
In several states increasing safe
guards are being thrown around birds
because of their worth as aids to agri-
culture.
