he has sacrificed to the common wei
fare.
At any rate, the office of roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in other roads, even al
some sacrifice of better land. Inves.
tigation shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation of
farm lines than from scientific atten-
ton to the problem of road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on level
road, II would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up a steep hill. The size
OF the load. therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market. In a num-
Der OF cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating Of roads around
hills has been accomplished. either
with no addition in road length in
some instances, and with the adding
OF only few feet to the highway in
others. The office knows OF no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material reduc-
ton OF hauling costs.

THE chief business of the
old-time philosopher was to
philosophize.
To philosophize as business
is to miss the highest philosophy.
To do a certain amount of use
full work every day, and not trou-
BILE about either the past or the
future, is the highest wisdom.
The man who drags the past
behind him, and wears his future
for a hustle, spreads the present
out thin.
Go out into the woods to study
the birds; you walk and walk and
walk and see no birds But just
sit down on log and wait, and
10! the branches are full of song.
Those who pursue culture never
catch up with her.
Culture takes alarm at pursuit
and avoids the stealthy pounce.
Culture is woman. and GER
tain amount of Indifference wins
her. Ardent wooing will rot secure
your hearts desire.
The highest philosophy consists
in keeping your health, preserv-
ing good cheer, and doing that
which is useful.
Health is the most natural
thing in the world Nature is on
our side-she is trying to keep us
happy and well, because she
needs us in her business. When
we disobey the laws of health We
suffer; when we obey them we
are well.
And so here are a few simple
facts about health-things which
we should all know:
Ninety nine people out of a
hundred who go to a physician
have no organic disease, but are
merely suffering from some result
of wrong living. This disability
we call a functional disorder
Functional disorders continued
may evolve an organic disease.
Most individuals who have a
disease are suffering from the evil
effects of medication. the medi-
cine having been taken TO relieve
a functional disorder.
Many diseases are the result of
medication which has been pre-
scribed to relieve and take away
a beneticent and warning symp-
tom on the part of nature.
