LaGrippe
THE DEADLY WEAKENER.

La Grippe in itself is seldom fatal.
But the weakness, lassitude and loss Of
appetite induced by it leaves the system
easy prey to the ravages of other ills.
"L. F." Atwood's Medicine is an un-
failing remedy for these dangerous after
effects. 1t tones up the entire system,
builds up the appetite, and restores
strength.
Mrs. Croxford's letter tells the whole
story:

II was very poorly after an attack Of
La Grippe. A friend recommended IL.

TO STUDY ROAD CONDITIONS IN
100 COUNTIES.

Detailed studies of local road building
systems in 100 counties are now being
carried on by the U. S., department OF
Agriculture IN cooperation with the
Stat highway departments and local
road authorities.
The purpose of this study is to discover
the points of excellence and defects In
existing local methods of building and
maintaining roads which will aid the
State authorities to put local road man
agement on a syStematlZed basis. The
cooperating State authorities have been
asked to designate counties that present
typical and exceptional features as to
topography, character of road materials,
methods of construction and mantle
nance, administrative organization,
methods of road financing, and traffic
conditions. From these lists 100 counties
will be selected, and in these counties
the Division of Road Economics will
make intensive studies.
This investigation is prompted by the
fact that there is at present very little
knowledge as to the most effective and
economical methods by which a county
can develop its roads. At present the
methods of financing local road improve
ments vary from calling on farmers for
a certain number of days labor in lieu
of a road tax, or the use of county
prisoners in road construction, to bond
issues or maintenance of roads from
dramshop license funds.
The department will study all of these
systems with the view to determining
what system or combination of systems
works best in actual practice.
There is, moreover, at present no
standard system of keeping accounts for
road building and maintenance, and as
result, while some counties know to
penny the purpose for which money was
spent others have no definite check or re-
porting system. Among various counties
with the same conditions cost for excava-
ton or other labor is anything but uni
form, and many counties, because OF the
absence of defirite knowledge, fail to
use local and cheap materials, and con-
struct roads which are unnecessarily
expensive for their purpose, or which
will wear out before the bond issues are
redeemed. The investigation will in
clude a careful study of the use OF
convict labor in road construction:
In connection with the scientific study
the Department. highway engineers
will advise freely with local officials as
to improvements, and thus give each
county visited the advantage of direct
cooperation, engineering supervision, and
assistance.
These Investigations, it is believed,
will yield important economic data bear
ing especially on the benefits and burdens
of road Improvement and showing the
extent to which financial outlay under
gives: typical conditions is justiflable.
The heads of State highway depart
ments are manifesting great interest
and are cooperating cordially in this
work. These data when obtained will
be published and thus made accessible
to all county and State road officials.

WHERE THE CUP DEFENDERS
ARE BUILT.

Bristol once was a fourishing seaport
and got rich in the slave trade and tina
other questionable trade which sen
ships to the coast of Madagascar loaded
with powder and rum, which were eX
changed at pirates rendezvous for the
spois taken by the buccaneers. In this
| Madagascar trade it was the leading
American port. and its principal mer
chants took lively interest in that type
of all gentlemen adventures, Captain
Kidd. The marks of its ancient wealth
are everywhere in beautiful colonia
mansions which suggest
somehow, Southern plantations anc
"cullud pussons. In walking through
the town you would know that there
was, literally, "a niger in the wood
pile' even if no one told you so.
The Herreshoff shops, at the lower end
of the town, look out on the anchorage
where once the slavers and the ships
laden with pirates spoils anchored, and
where now nothing anchors. Neverthe-
less, the people of Bristol are of the
salt, salt sea. The young are webfooted
and the old folk die on the ebb tide.
The descendants of those who discussed
Captain Kidd and the 'Guinea trade
now talk Herreshoff and yachts.
The Herreshoff Works are guarded as
carefully as ever was the Sultan's harem,
and it is as safe to try and enter into
the one as it was the other.
When a new cup defender is building a
stranger in Bristol is regarded with
suspicion by the whole community, and
has only to watch the big ship houses
whence come the sound of hammers
closing rivets up to be confronted by a
stern Waterman who warns him off the
earth. If he hires rowboat and takes
look at the buildings from the bay a
Waterman. standing on the pierhead
waves him off imperiously, another man
in boat lies in wait for him to smash
his camera and drive him away. Even
to take pictures on the public highways
in the vicinity of the works is regarded
by the Herreshoffs as an offense, and
''Nat" Herreshoff himself sometimes
seizes upon the unfortunate photographer
and smashes his camera with force of
arms.
A careful watch is kept by the HERE
sboffs for any possible "leak" concern
ing the new cup defender among their
workmen. 1t is popular belief among
the men employed in the shops that
working side by side with them are men
who are especially hired to keep an eye
upon them and to report at headquarters
any suspicion of man selling or giving
out information concerning the new
boat.
To be seen talking to newspaper
man would, they confidently believe. lose
them their jobs, and as these are good
jobs the appearance Of stranger among
them is signal for flight. Any stranger
is avoided by them, for he may be a
newspaper man in disguise or else an
emissary from the other side. From

ca Lowndes) was the daughter
~ of Christopher Lowndes, for
merly of Cheshire, England and his
wife, Elizabeth Tasker. daughter OF
Thomas Tasker, colonial governor oil
The following description of the
home in which Rebecca was born
G76D, reared and married is given IN
a recent issue Of La Follette's Maya
zine:
''The Lowndes. home, an enormous
white mansion, with six great CHM
news and with pOrches surrounding the
whole, was built in 1746 by Christie
pher Lowndes, progenitOr of the Ia
nous Lowndes family of Maryland. II
is now owned and occupied by James
II. Kyner, a retired railroad contractor
from the west with his wife and little
daughter. Its interesting owners nave
filled it with treasures and rare keep
sakes, but occupy practically only a
corner of the great house that in state
ler days boosted a big retinue Of SER
wants. 1t was here that Washington
once danced and where Lafayette was
entertained on the occasion of his last
visit to America"
Family Consent to Marriage.
The matter of interest TO us as
chapter regarding the marriage is the
opposition of the parents to their
daughter union because OF MAJ. oLpu-
dert's ardent support of the colonies in
their fight for freedom. It was while
recovering from his wounds, inflicted
at the battle of Brandywine. that Re
becca's devotion to her soldier finally
Overcame the family disapproval and
she was married in the drawing room
of the home in January, 177S, one hum
dred and thirty six years ago. The
LOwndes family always remained
staUnch Tories, and were never in sym
pathy with the daughter when she thus
became a Daughter of the RevOlu-
ton"
Continuing to suffer from the effects
of his wounds and the exposures of
camp life, Maj Stoddert resigned from
the army to retire to private life, but
John Adams afterwards PRESIDENT at
that time president of the Board of

Letters Are Interesting.
Some years ago there appeared some

She writes of Mrs. Adams (wife of the
