GOOD
ROADS
BUILDING ROADS IN FRANCE
National Thoroughfares, Maintained
Entirely by Government, Are Com
structed AZ Feet Wide.

France admittedly has the best
roads system SO far devised, and its
national roads constitute about 6h
per cent Of the 365.000 miles in the
whole country
The national roads, maintained en-
tirely by the government. are con-
structed AZ feet wide between bitches,
and lead from the capital to the prin-
cipal cities, ports and commercial
centers, and between the principal
cities. With the departmental, or state
roads, and commercial roads of differ
emit classes. the national government
has nothing to do except to deter
mine their width which is fixed by
general laws according to their classi-
f1cation.
The United States has two and a
half times the population of
France. and about six times the road
milage. To balance this difference. q
series OF national roads which would
connect our capitals and principal
cities would duly amount to about IN
per cent of the 100000 miles of
roads In this country as compared
with the 6la per cent. in France, bring
ing the mileage of national roads per
person in the United States about the
same as in France.
With our enormous resources await
ing development by the extension of
our road systems, there seems no rea-
son why we should not proceed with
the work of building national roads,
writes Lewis R. Speare In the Illinois
Farmer National roads building did
not ruin France; 1t made France
| great.
The idea of building up political
machine out Of road construction
bureau does not deserve considera-
ton. In all of the important govern
mental work being carried on it
seems the policy Of all parties to see
that it is conducted economically and
honestly, whatever party chances to
be in power A fair instance Of that
is the valuation OF the railroads OF the
country which is just about to begin,
in which civil service examinations
will soon be held for the selection Of
several thousand civil and mechanical
engineers.
| M. Fornand Bordas, a leading
French engineer, writing for the third
international road congress, now II
session in London, says: The nationa
roads, which connect the capital Il
the frontiers and to the large towns
or else form connecting link be
tween the more densely populated
centers, are of the greatest interes
to the country as whole, not only
from an economic point of view bu
also from strategic one, as assuring
communications between points q
long distances apart. 1t Is therefore
essential that their general trend. gen
eral plan. and width, should be settled
unfettered by local influences"
This is the idea that the A. A. A
: National Good Roads board have
been and are endeavoring to impress
upon the lawmakers of this country
1t seems as though plans which havs
been so eminently successful in othe1
countries, and productive Of such ex
celent results. are worthy of tria
: here.

INSECTS HAVE NO NOSTRILS
Nature Seemingly Concluded Small
Creatures Could Get Along With
out That Convenience.

All insects need air, even those that
live IN water, but no insect has nos
trils, or any opening in the head
through which 1t breaths. Instead,
there is a row of small openings
called spiracles, down each side Of its
body, one on each segment, begin
ming with the second or third of the
thorax or chest, and extending back
to the tip Of the abdomen. The spira-
cles open into two ATTITUDES that ex-
tend the length of the insect, one on
each side, just within the wall of the
body. These tubes are connected in
the thorax by two cross-tubes, and
from them smaller tubes diverge
These, in turn, divide and redivide,
growing constantly smaller, until the
finest tubes permeate every part OF
the insect, even the tops of the arten.
nae and the joints Of the feet. The
tubes are known as tracheae, and
serve the same purpose that the lungs
serve In the vertebrates to carry
oxygen to the blood and tissues The
outer openings or spiracles, are pro,
tected in various ways-as for exam.
pie, by a circlet of hairs-in order
to prevent the admission of anything
except air. If they become clogged
by any such substances as oil OF
grease the insect suffocates. The
humming of gnats, the buzzing Of
flies, and similar sounds, are produced
by the vibration of the air in the

Ants Walk on Water.

It may not be new to observers OF
animal life, but have been much in
terested in watching the common
house ant here in Rio de Janiero, says
writer in Nature.
We have an American fly trap; the
sugar was one day covered with ants
30 placed the trap on a finger bowl
standing in plate of water. The ants
when they came to the edge of the wa
ter, ran around the bowl until con
vinced there was no way across, and
then calmly took to the water, and ran
across 1t by aid Of surface tension
without getting their feet wet.
Having presumably been home tc
the nest, they returned for more sugar
crossing in the same way, and this
went on regularly, a steady proces
sion crossing the water.

WHAT DYSPEPTlCS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are, nine times out
of ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach
sufferers should, whenever possible,
avoid eating food that is acid in its ma
ture. or which by chemical action in the
stomach develops acidity. Unfortunately,
such a rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant TO the taste as well as
those which are rich in blood, flesh and
nerve building properties. This is the
reas son why dyspeptics and stomach suf-
ferers are usually so thin. emaciated and
lacking in that vital energy which can
only come from a well fed body For
the benefit of those sufferers who have
been obliged to exclude from their diet
all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and
are trying to keep up miserable exist
ence on gluten products, ] would sug-
gest that you should try meal of any
food or foods which you may like, in
moderate amount, taking Immediately
afterwards a teaspoonful of bisurated
magneisa in a little hot or cold water.
This will neutralize any acid which may
be present, or which may be formed,
and instead OF the usual feeling Of un-
easiness and fullness, you will find that
your food agrees with you perfectly.
Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best
food corrective and antacid known. 1t
has no direct action on the stomach;
but by neutralizing the acidity of the
food contents, and thus removing the
source of the acid irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining. 1t
does more than could possibly be done
by any drug or medicine. AS a physi-
clan. l believe in the use of medicine
whenever necessary. but l must admit
that cannot gee the sense of dosing an
infamed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead Of getting rid OF the acid
the cause of all the trouble. Get lit
tie bisurated magnesia from your drug
gist, eat what you want at your next
meal. take some of the bisurated mag
resia as directed above, and see If I'm
not right"-Adyt
