FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking Of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of a
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate of efficiency.
Nothing will SO quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.

RHODE ISLAND LEADS ALE
STATES IN IMPROVED ROADS
Although the Smallest, She Has Done
the Best Work.

Rhode Island, the smallest state in
the Union, with an area Of only 1880
square miles, ranks first of all the
states in its percentage Of improved
roads. Under the direction of Secre-
tary Wilson very comprehensive sta
tistical investigation of the mileage
and cost Of public roads in the United
States has. recently been completed by
the Office of public roads, United
States department of agriculture. This
document reveals many interesting
facts. Thus, apparently, it is not be-
cause Of her small size that Rhode Is
land is able to boast Of 49.14 per cent
of improved roads, for Delaware with
an area of 2,050 square miles has only
500 per cent Of improved roads On
the other hand, Massachusetts, with
an area of 1915 square miles, has 40
per cent of her roads improved. or
very nearly the same percentage as
therefore seems to have little or no
effect on the percentage OF improved
roads,
The investigations further show that
there are 2,199,645 miles Of public
roads in continental United States. OF
this vast mileage only 19O,476, or 500
per cent, are classed as improved.
AS stated above, Rhode Island leads
with 49.14 per cent of improved roads,
while Massachusetts is second with 40
per cent. Indiana follows with 36.7
per cent. Ohio, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Kentucky, Vermont and California
follow in a descending order, the latter
having 1887 per cent of improved
roads. The states Of Wisconsin, New
York, Maryland, Utah, Tennessee,
South Carolina, Maine and Michigan
range in the order given from 16 to 10
per cent.
Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire
and Oregon have between 5 and 10 per
cent Of their roads improved OF the
twenty-five states with less than 5 per
cent Of improved roads North Dakota
stands at the bottom with only O.23
per cent Secretary Wilson and Di-
rector Page, who is in charge of the
Office of public roads, are ever at work
on the problems which confront the
road builders throughout the land, and
especially those problems which are
most frequently confronted by COM
munities in which road Improvement
has made but little progress.
