GOOD ROADS PREVENT DISEASE

Few persons, on first thought, would
see any possible connection between
good roads and good health. Yet the
State Board of Health of Kansas says
that good roads can and will prevent
disease. How? By the removal of
weeds and trash. Weeds and trash pre-
vent the prompt evaporation of mois
ture and promote retention of ground
water. This makes ideal breeding
spots for mosquitoes flies and other in
sects, which are known as disease car
riers, not to mention chinch bugs, sop
pers and other insects which are crop
damagers Furthermore an under
growth of weeds invites the dumping Of
garbage and manure by offering con-
cealment, of which fact careless and
thoughtless people are prone to TAX ,
advantage, thus increasing the facility
of insect breeding and providing these
insect carriers with proper material for
disease transmission. Good roads also
prevent disease by providing good
drainage. Many farms have no means
of draining except by bitches along
roadways. Open bitches, clear of brush
and debris, with hardened surface and
portunity of Kidding themselves Of
many a stagnant pool The removal Of

eased off 4 to 5 points. The openin
advance reflected highe Liverpool ca

continued bullish crop reports.
The market was firnfer during the
early afternoon on continued storm
and bad crops reports, with December
and January contracts making new
high records fer the movement.

drainage of all pool, ditch and surface
water, removing the possibility Of in
sect breeders, for none can multiply
without moisture-a well known fac
Dry roads offer pedestrians, and not
ably children who are compelled to
walk to and from school, dry shoes
and feet. While colds are due to spe-
cifc germs, yet it is a well-known fact
that cold wet feet and chilled limbs
lower the resistance of individuals and
make them more favorable subjects for
infections of the respiratory passages,
including pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Good roads prevent disease by setting
an example to adjoining farm premises.
Good roads promote trave; and set al
example to the farmer whose premis-
es are bordered by them. The compar-
son of a well-graded, clean highway
with an unkempt and trashy barnyard
adjoining is sufficient to stimulate ev-
cry landowner to cleanup. Pride COM
pels him to offer to passers by neat
appearing and attractive house and
barnyard Results are only too obvious
Good roads are active disease preven-
ton agencies aside from their financial
and commercial value.
