ZIGzAG ROADS ARE BEST.
Federal Bureau counseIs Avoidance of
Steep Grades.

0tCSP SIaHSSs
Good roads in the future should be
built on the zigzag plan for the avoid
ance of hills and steep grades, says
the federal Office of good roads at
Washington. 1t is asserted that the
lives of horses and automobiles can be
heightened thereby and the cost Of
hauling reduced materially. The ex'
perts contend that "the longest way
around often may be the shortest and
most economical way home" and decry
the natural tendency to build straight
roads whenever they must breast heavy
grades.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted" the bureau says, "where
a horse might be able to pull 1000
pounds on a level road it would have
difficulty in pulling 5000 pounds up IA
steep hill. The size of the loads, there
fore, tends to be measured by the
grade of the largest hill on the road to
market. In a number of cases actual
experiment shows that the relocating
of roads around hills has been accom-
plished with no addition in road length
in some instances and with the addi
ton of only few feet to the highway
in Others"
Dissemination of communities and in
dividuals to sacrifice rich and fertile
land to road purposes. the government
experts acknowledge, stands in the way
of carrying out the proposed reform
They are seeking to impress on the TIL
raj communities, however, the econom
ic advantages to be gained by the elm
ination of steep grades from the seats
of supply to the markets.

STOP CATARRH!
Unless Properly Treated With Hy-
omei This Disease May Become
Serious.

If you have catarrh, indicated by
shifting, stopped up head, droppings
in the throat and morning choking,
there is an irritated state of the
mucous membrane which affords an
ideal condition for the growth of dis
ease germs.
Do not allow these dangerous
germs to begin the destruction of
your health.
The easiest, simplest, quickest,
surest and cheapest way to check
catarrh is by breathing Hyomei.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not upset the stomach,
but is breathed in through the Hy-
omei inhaler, directly following and
surely destroying all disease germs
that may have been inhaled-the
tissues of the throat, nose and lungs
are quickly healed and vitalized
Money refunded by Peil, the drug
gist, to anyone whom Hyomei fails
to benefit. A complete outfit costs
but $1.00. Dec. 2&9

 and Prevent Escape.

Milwaukee, Aug. Hire in the buildings of the Milwaukee chronic in- sane asylum caused wild scenes of disorder among the 300 patients. The insane rushed to the windows of their wards, some put out the lights, fought back the guards and for a time had complete control of the place. Amid a terrific thunder and vivid lightning storm, the bowling maniacs created such a din that it could be heard for miles about the country.
 The fire destroyed several large sheds and barns. but a heavS rainfall and wind prevented the dormitories from being ignited. Heavy guards were placed over the chronic patients.
