The Live Stock Epidemic.

The recent invasion of Wiscon-
sin by the foot and mouth dis
ease is a misfortune that has been
imposed upon Wisconsin through
lack of proper examination of
cattle taken to the stock yards and
to the dairy show at Chicago-and
distinctly not the fault of Wiscon-
sin or Wisconsin people. 1t may
be that this state should have a
more strict inspection law to CON
troll the importation of cattle or a
more strict enforcement of the law
as it is, but it is certain that cattle
brought to great shows should be
subjected to the most rigid exam
ination for disease.
The most elaborate plans are be-
ing used to free the state of this
disease. 1t is to be hoped that we
shall not have another such invas-
ion, and the law and its admins
tration should protect state that
is inherently free from this disease
from future invasions.
How fortunate Wisconsin is in
the condition affecting the livestock
industry is clearly brought ont in
this incident-for awhile it may be
difficult to absolutely protect our
selves against such invasions in
the future, we know that this dis
ease does not develop in this state,
that we may be assured that it
must come from elsewhere if at all,
and that proper effort will speedily
stamp it out. Nothing can more
emphatically illustrate the good
conditions of Wisconsin than the
speedy stamping out of this malady
for which we are warranted in look
ing. We have the best conditions
here i'll Wisconsin.

 While Germany has gone forward quite rapidly in road progress, it has not equalled either France or Britain, though it does possess travelable roads connecting all parts of the empire. Motor vehicles will figure largely in the mobility of the armies now in the field, and in this particular France un- occasionally has an advantage over the other continental countries.
 That many Americans will take ad- vantage of a year or so to remain in their home country while the war con- tinues in Europe, means that they will become better acquainted with Ameri- ca and realize that its scenic wonders more than compare with what can be found abroad, and while they may ind difficulty in reaching Yellowstone and getting within its gates; not yet thor oughly comfortable in viewing the snowclad peaks of Glacier parkk; linn tied in their motor opportunities in the Yosemite; and able to reach the Grand Canyon over the road only after a struggle, the interchange of road trav- elers by the various parts of the coun- try will accentuate and accelerate the demand for improved roads and a proper participation by the federal government in accomplishing work of the greatest value to the nation as a whole"

In addition to the usual large num- Der of eastern motorists who go regu- lariy to California for part of the win ter there are many more who VIII drive across to the approaching expo sitions at San Francisco and San Diego, asserts Chairman Frank X. Mudd of the A A. A. touring board, 4SZ Fifth avenue, New York city, which reports an increasing call for information on the different routes that can now be used for trips all or a greater part of the way across the continent. The most popular season for. cross country travel is the early fall when the weather Is likely to be more settled than in the spring, and long distance trips can be made more comfortably than in midsummer:
 During 1914 there has been relative ly little through travel over the ex- treme northern route, on account of the road work in process through Sno- oualmie pass in the Cascade moun> tains, Washington state; but tfft stragetic improvement Is now neartlg corTrpletion, so that, beginning next wear. the northwest traiP' may be considered safer and more feasible than ever before for those who would like to travel overland from the Twin Cities to Washington and Oregon, vis- iting en route Yellowstone and Glacier national parks.

D0IAGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
American Tourists Will Tour the Country More in 1915- Famous French Highways Have Worn Away by Heavy Trafic-The Popular Season for Crossing the Continent is in Early Fall-American Cars Being Used in the European Struggle.

"It is my guess that in 1915 many Americans who annually motor abroad will become much better &C., quainted with their country" com- mented President John A. Wilson of the American Automobile association when he landed in New York city the other day with fortunate shipfoad of people who had escaped from the Eu- ropean war zone.
 '1Granted that we need many miles of real highway to get our road trav- eIers to the scenic sections of the country, we are improving our arter- ies of communication more substan- tially than is the case even in France, where its network of well built roads will serve the country in the warfare now raging" continued the head Of the automobile organization.
 siBut even the foresight of Napo- leon could not look ahead to the auto mobile age, and so it is that the sur faces of the most famous French highways have worn away under the stress of the multiplied traffic of the past few years, percentage Of which has been supplied by road tourists from other countries, and with the United States as the largest. contrib utor. French highway experts are disagreed as to the best method of resprfacing, though 1t should be kept in mind that practically every French road has a base and is well drained.
 Great Britain has finally realized that there must be more centralized control and carrying with it positive provision for coherent direction of the trunk lines. Strange as it may seem, England has not followed France in a centralized control over national sys- tenn, but it has suffered from local con- trol of portions of it's most used roads. A per ton per mile basis is the only sure method of deciding upon the right kind of construction for picking out

Grand Circuit Raees Were Fast and Exciting.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 9.-Desptte the fact that there were only two classes on the card, the third day of the grand circuit at Charter Oak park developed the finest racing and the most exciting finishes thus far.

Andrews won easily with Newzell in the first two. but tired in the third, and Atlantic Express came first under the wire, while in the fourth Dickerman's horse in 8 driving finish just failed by a head to beat out Oakdale. Atlantic Express took the fifth. and Newzell after resting up for three heats took the lead in the sixth and won easily when Atlantic Express broke in the stretch. Oakdale being distanced and Newzell winning first and third money.

The latter is being rap- idly improved at many points, and ,al- though not good throughout is being used by an increasing number of tour- ists, especially during the winter months.
 All of these routes have been trav- eIed and mapped by the field forces Of the American Automobile association.

When this tube is infiamed you have rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which Is nothing but an unframed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
