Attacks Low-Neck Dresses,
Predicts Growth of Insanity.

DR.. Ruble declared that If insanity con-
tinued to increase at the rate it had that
within the next hundred years there
would be more insane people in the world
| than sane and that the insane would set
the few sane crazy. Alcohol; he declared.
was directly responsible for 20 per cent of
the insane, and indirectly responsible for
much more than that. This, together
with the social evil, are the principal
causes OF insanity. he declared.
There is not one person who is perfect
mentally. We have lapses of memory,
| and this shows that we are not perfect
mentally. Then. why should we worry?
There Is none of us but what can over
come these difficulties The habit OF
worry may be overcome"
He told his audience that every one
should take an inventory Of his mentality
every day to ascertain whether or not
he was failing. But he continued it is
well known fact that the person who
fears he is going insane is the furthest
away from this condition. and the per-
son who thinks he knows his mind is in
good order is right on the verge of in
sanity.
Coffee and Tea Held Bad.
DR.. Olsen said that coffee and tea
were worse than alcohol and that one
might as we'll take beer as coffee. Beer,
a
trifling amount of nutrition, but coffee
or tea not bit" Some people. he went
on. get the craving for alcohol by first
taking tea or coffee Children start with
tea or coffee at home. and then when
the nerves become weakened they seek
alcohol. He said the children ought to
be protected by DENYING them any of
these beverages Coffee, he said, should
be used only under certain circumstances
and then only upon the prescription of
reputable physician. for 1t is a drug.
From hygienic standpoint no house
is clean If there is just one fly walking
about" continued DR.. Olsen. They are
the most dangerous things in the world.
They cause more deaths than the tigers
Of India They first visit your garbage
pail and then sample your milk. We say
in England kill the fly; you say over
here swat the ny However, you say it
does not matter. but at any rate kill It.
for 1t also is responsible for more dis
eases than anything else known"
DR.. Olsen also criticised the habit OF
eating flesh, and urged his audience to
take only vegetable products and water.
Scores Use of Tobacco.
Tobacco is responsible for as much OF
the degeneracy of today as alcohol. said
DIR. Kress. He cited figures to show the
enormous increase In the consumption OF
cigarettes during the past year. and de-
clared that this was due to the increased
consumption on the part Of women and
children. Between 80 and so per cent of
the boys in our public schools. he said.

He declared that the people today were
not dying from germ diseases. but We're

the consumption Of alcohol and tobacco.

COmmendable Rivalry.

There is rivalry on between
Greenville and Central City that Is
commendable, and it is which shall
build the best and longest stretch of
permanent road between these two
progressive centers. The work was
commenced at both places Monday,
and every energy is being put forth.
Each city has raised funds to re-
build a mile of this road, the coal
companies have donated the mater
ial from the agob" and cinder piles,
which material is being placed on
the road in liberal quantities.,
and will make road that can be
travelled easily all the year round,
it is hoped. The county will build
the distance between in the same
manner, and so the most travelled
road in the county will be IN con-
ditioa for it.

King Drag On Streets.

Mr.. James Barkley did a days
work with KING split-log drag
Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning, from the head of Main
street to the depot, and with won
derful improvement to the highway.
There were some folks who
doubted that the drag could be
used with good effect on macadam
roads, but they are now convinced.
Of course it will require many
draggings to get full returns, but il
is probable that the work will be
continued. There was no trouble
in getting the funds by private sub
scr:ption, and in future It will be
easier to raise the amount needed.

D. Ward King Here.

ID. Ward King, who conceived
the split log drag was here last Sat
urday, addressing about $50 of
Muhlenbere's citizens at the court
house at O'Clock. But for the
rain the audience would have been
doubled, but there could hardly
have been more interest manifested.
The talk from the jump-otf was full
of information of the most practical,
tried kind, and inspired everyone
with a determination to provide bet
ter highways. The simple drag has
made thousands OF miles of good
roads from ru,ruin, d, gully-wsshec,
water holding stretches of hinderior,
expensive trails of earth, and las
raised an unknown Missouri farmer
from obscurity to the point where
he is now an International figure,
and one of the best authorities alive
on the subject of road Improvement.
After he had concluded his able
talk, and had answered all questions
put to him, he asked for volunteers
who would use the drag without ex-
pense to the county, and eighteen
men responed. He then made a
practical demonstration of the drag
on College street, near the Christ.
ian church, and almost the entire
audience witnessed that. The fs-
cal court is to be commended on its
action in bringing Mr.. King to the
county, as the resulting interest that
will follow his visit cannot be calcu.
lated in dollars and cents; it is sure
to pay an hundred fold, though.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPERATING king DRAG.


When the drag has been completed portable riding platform
should be made strips x2 inches being used with inch be-
tween The strips should be securely nailed to braces,
three pieces being used each end and other
divided between remaining space Solid boards should not be
used the dirt that thrown the front cutting will be kept
from falling through the road and will add weight to the drag
This platform be lifted and riding position when the drag
changed to other side.
Always begin operating drag the dches side and down
the other thus working the dirt center of road filling the and
making crown.
After the soil has been moved and placed turn drag
the hitch and pack and roll surface by the round sides drag
front Where holes deep rs filed is best to make
a fill and then pack this building and packing the road
from the bottom up
Best results only be secured by driver riding the drag he is
the most important part of the machine by shifting his position end

and packing can be done effectively.
Remember BOTH sides of the drag be used and design
ed effectively for varying cutting edges for scrapne
