Excitement is
Rapidly Spreading.
New Root Juice Medicine Appar-
emily Creating the Same In
terest a n d Enthusiasm
Here That 1t Has
Elsewhere.

If one can judge by the crowds that
are almost continually Swarmlng the
local drug stores to investigate and
purchase a supply of the new Root
Juice medicine which has been Gre
ating a sensation in all parts OF the
state, our home people are fast be-
coming enthusiastic over 1T as
those of other places in which it has
been introduce.
So many reports of the most as
Gonishing cures effected by Root Juice
have been published and so much has
been said of the excitement the medi-
cine has created in other cities. it is
not strange that local sufferers from
indigestion, belching, pains after
meals loss of appetite, nervousness,
backacheS, weak kidneys, rheumatism,
sleepleSSnesS, tired, WORKOUT feeling,
and other similar ailments due to
functional disturbances of the vital
organs or impurities in the blood
should be anxious to follow the ex-
ampleS of those who claim to have
been almost miraculouSly cured by
its use.
An the drug stores it is said that
the sale of Root Juice has far eX-
ceeded all expectations and although
there is still good stock on hand
some fear is entertained that their
will nor be enough to supply the con-
> a"t' living demand, for it is said
4 ne main laboratories at Fort
Wayne, Ind, are working to their
fullest capacity and are still far be-
hind Oh their orders.
Good reports are still coming in
from those who have purchased the
medicine and stories Of some truly
startling results right here in town
can be heard every day.

How to Use the Road DRAG.

The following points are to be
borne in mind in dragging a road:
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road,
returning on the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after a
rain as possible, but not when
the mud is in such condition
as to stick to the drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible, at all
seasons of the year. If a road
is dragged Immediately after a
cold spell, it will freeze in smooth
condition.
Always drag a little toward
the center of the road, until it is
raised from ten to twelve inches
above the edge of the Travelled
highway.
If the drag cuts in too much.
shorten the hitch.
The amount of earth that the
drag will carry along can be very
considerably controlled by the
driver according as he stands
near the cutting edge or away
from it.
When the roads are first drag
ged after very muddy spell
the wagons should drive if
possible to one side until the
roadway has a chance to freeze
or partly dry out.
TIE best results from dragging
are obtained only by repeating
applications.
Remember that constant atten-
tion is necessary to maintain an
earth road in its best condition.

streets of the lower section Of the city
he finds himself jostled by streams of
Swtrling humanity that show the same
characteristics of the crowd that circu-

can save himself from all this by seek

parks.
These well kept public places have
the air of being transferred bodily from
the French capital. They have the same
imposing statues, generally executed in
the typical French way. The nurse
maids and children resemble the Paris
ian types. In fact, the predominant
note in the atmosphere Of Buenos Aires
is French. The splendid Avenida de
Mayo is an example of this. 1t might pe
a Parision boulevard, lined as 1t Is with
shops where the worlds handicraft Is
most temptingly displayed.
Interspersed among these shops are typ
ical French cafes, with their round tables
and chairs irregularly arranged on the
sidewalk. 1t is even the boast OF the fash
ionable women of Buenos Ayres that they
outdress the French, and If what one
sees at the race track Is any criterion,
they assuredly make good their boast.
This race track of the Buenos Aires
Jockey Club is unquestionably the finest
in the world
1t has three concentric tracks, md a
concrete grandstand which is marvel OF
architecture. Any seat in it gives splen-

as 1t should be, for horse racing is the ma

meet in the classic events run each year
in Buenos Aires. -
Sunday is the great racing day. The
interest in horse racing, which may be
termed the greatest pleasure OF the Ar
gentino, comes from his interest in cattle
raising, which heretofore has been the
most important business with these peo-
pie. The Rural Guide states that there is
invested in the cattle industry in Argen-
tina $75O,O00.OO0.
The fact that this South American re-
public was the ideal cattle country soon
became known to the big slaughtering
corporations of the United ST ties, and
now the North American meat interests
have abattoirs outside Of the city OF
Buenos Aires.

The casual visitor to this dynamic city
will not perhaps be so much interested in
its industrial as in it's pleasurable side.
The night life of Buenos Aires is proven
bal. To borrow from the vernacular,
everything goes 1t would seem that
the same throngs which crowd the down.
town districts all day move in a cease
less flow of humanity through the broad
thoroughfares Of the amusement precincts
long into the night.
Again Paris is copied. The cafes chan
tant are packed to suffocation. while the
'jeunesse doree' of the capital applaud
the spirited efforts of the latest terpsicho-
rean importations. Like all similar pleas
ures. these amusements Of Buenos Aires
soon pail, and the traveller will be glad to
journey out into the clear sunshine of the
pampas.
These prairies closely resemble much of
the western country of the United States
In former years great herds of cattle
roamed wild over the land. Now, how
ever, it is all fenced country. The land.
which is owned by what might be called
the aristocracy Of Argentina, is held in
enormous tracts. The 'estanciaros" meas
ure their acreage in leagues. The home
ranch is really a little city.
First there is the private residence Of
the ''estanciaros.'' Around this are
grouped a number of other buildings built
somewhat on the bungalow type, which
are for the exclusive use of guests. 1t
Is not the custom to entertain visitors in
the principal residence of the ranch
owner. Beyond these guest houses are
the varied edifices used to house the
men. implements and produce Of the
ranch.
