GOOD ROADS GO HAND IN HAND
WITH EDgCATIoN.

DETROIT, MICH, Oct. 81 -fhe
good roads movement Is closely
allied with the religious, education
al and economical future OF our
country, declared Gov. Ferris, OIL
Michigan, in an address before the
American Road Congress here to-
day. Good roads play an important
part in our religion. With good
roads we will have fewer and better
churches and fewer and better min
isters,' he continued.
Good roads and education GO
hand in hand. In New England,
where good roads have been built
extensively in the last few years,
the ratio of illiteracy is small In
States where but few good roads
have been built, the illiteracy ratio
is higher.
'.In many localities in this State
it is absolutely impossible for the
children to attend school when the
weatSsys,is bad, because the roads
are impassable."
Declaring the loss by reason OF
bad roads which everywhere lessen
the profits of industry, increase the
cost of living and burden business
enterprises, amounts to millions OF
dollars annually the congress adopt
ed resolutions favoring the creation
of National Department OF Pub
lie Works.

Oswego, ore. May 6.-Figures col
lected from the financial officers of
leading universities and agricultural
colleges throughout the United States
show that the system followed by Ore
gon and by most of the states. that of
keeping the university and the college
separate, is more economical in ac-
tual results than the consolidated
system. These figures are given out
by the Educational committee of the
State Federation of Women's clubs
from the home of its chairman, Mrs.
G.. N Pettinger of Oswego. They are
of especial interest now that a ref
erendum petition is being circulated
on the alleged ground of saving mon
ey to the state by means of going to
the expense of consolidating the Uni
versity and agricultural college.
The statistics of most interest deal
with the different amounts per stu
dent spent by taxpayers of the sew
eral states. These are some of the
figures:
Wisconsin (consolidated) $404;
Michigan University, $243; Michigan
Agricultural, sSos.
Michigan maintains just as high a
reputation as Wisconsin. No agricul-
tural college in the country has fur
nished more farming experts. college
deans, etc, than Michigan Agricul-
tural. Michigan University. for its
part, is known as the leading state
university in the country. Where the
schools are separate, the cost is less
1t is where they are consolidated that
they are able to obtain big appropria-
tions and spend them without regard
to competitive results.
California (consolidated), 1859
Iowa University. $2S1; Iowa Agricul
tural ("Ames") S342.
California, moreover, has recentl!

Illinois (consolidated), sSSS; Kan

The assumption that consolidation
means economy is not true of schools
The only saving is in regard to thos

and the Good Results VIII Sur
prise You.

A low state OF the general health
is now the accepted cause of back
wardness in children. So in the case
of a backward child 1t is best to look
towards building up its health. 1t
will usually be found that the main
trouble Is in the food, in lack of as
similation and digestion. Hence care
should be taken in the kind of food
given to the child. This, with plenty
of air and exercise, should bring
about a change for the better.
Watch the conditions of the bow

ing passed off or not. or wether 1t
Is being passed too freely. If either
condition prevails give small dose
