GOVERNMENT AID FOR ROADS
Committee of Congress Expected to Make Favorable Report on
 Highways Measure.

The question of federal aid for good loads looms large. A joint committee of the senate and house, with Senator Bourne, Oregon (the father of the parcel post bilD chairman, is now 1n- .vestigating the entire subject with every likelihood of a report being sub- lmitted favorable to the general pro- Iject. The main subject under inves- ltigation at present is the manner in which federal aid when finally. forth coming shall be distributed, whether Ito the states according to their popu- lation, their area or the mileage of article Senator Bourne expressed him. self as favorable to a plan which shall combine all three of these ele- Iments, inasmuch- as 1t would not be fair to grant more aid to Rhode Island, for instance, than to Iowa, although the population of the former state is much larger than that of the latter; or more aid to Nevada, for instance, than to Nebraska, although the former state is much larger in area than the .1atter;t or to some state which has already solved the good roads prob nem by thousands of miles of good roads, leaving state with impossible highways suffering because of lack of the necessary aid.
 With federal and and state aid both imminent, an impetus is being given to road building greater than ever before. The statement is made that $500,000 day is being spent for good roads in this country, but the general . consensus of opinion is that until within the last year or two results commensurate with this immense ex- penditures have not been secured. : There is feeling all over the country that road building must be made as systematic and as scientific as rail- road building, hence the movement for state highway commission with plenary powers and scientific super vision by expert engineers. Congress has already appropriated $50O,000, to be distributed $10,000 to each state, for improvement of stretches of road over which rural free deliveries operate regularly. The results of this appropriation will go long way to show whether or not the federal government will be justified in mak- ing still greater appropriations and in going still more extensively into this important subject. The secretary of agriculture and the postmaster-gen- eral have, both been ordered to Joan , their influence to the investigation, to the end that actual facts may be se- cured so that road building may be carried on in practical manner.

Uric Acid Is Slow Poison

Unseen in it's approach, hard to de- tect in it's early stages, and cruelty painful in it's later forms, uric acid poisoning is disease too often fatal.
 Bright's disease is one of the final stages of uric acid poisoning. It kills in our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two-consumption and pneu- monia. Bright's disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kidney dis ease and uric poisoning.
 When uric acid is formed too fast and the kidneys are weakened by a cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over indulgences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there is head ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling with disturbances of the urine.
 Real torture begins when the uric acid forms into gravel or stone in the kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits in the muscles, joints or on the nerve stubings. Then follow the awful pains of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciat- ica, neuritis, 'lumbago or kidney collie.

HOME FOR WORKOUT HORSES
Hungarian Landowner Bequeaths $60,- 900 for Purpose of Erecting
 an Asylum.

Vienna.-Much shaking of heads was caused at the Hungarian town of Miskoloz when the will of deceased landowner named Bizony was opened. He left all his fortune, amounting to $60.000, to the Hungarian Provincial Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to. Animals, on condition that it erect an asylum for worn-out horses.
 No more must a horse which has toiled all it's life at last come under the horse butchers knife. Bizony'S motto was "One horse is worth more than ten men," His brother and law full heir, captain of artillery, will contest the validity of the testament, but the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals demands it's leg acy and is determined to build the horse asylum.

WEALTHY MEN ARE HER PREY
Addie Jewell, Said to Have Obtained FrauduIentIy $7o,ooo, Is In-

New York.-Defrauding rich bache, lors and widowers out of over seventy thousand dollars, through fake adver- tisements, is the charge made by fed eral authorities against Addie Jewell, whom they term the second Sophie Lyons.
 Miss Jewell, known under seven aliases, was indicted by the federal grand jury charged with using the mails to defraud. The federal inspec- tors have been on her trail for 15 years and each time when they were ready to nab her she eluded them until recently.
 The advertisement which she in serted in many newspapers through the country read:
 "A Protestant widow with little girl would give services for pleasant, com fortable home for herself and child for winter. Good housekeeper; would pre- fer country. Mrs. Gertrude Morgan D
 Under the guise of kindly house keeper the Jewell woman found it easy to get into the good graces of f'the rich men for whom she cast her net, say the federal officials.
 Once in her grasp she led them on with promises of marriage.

At the outer end of the drag is disk which serves to cut down the sides of the track MT. Taylor has one of these ma chimes attached to his mountain hack, and 1t attracts great deal of atten- ton. Good road advocates in south ern Idaho are enthusiastic about the machine; it has been proposed by them that the county commissioners buy them in large lots and let them out to every farmer who will agree to use them, relating the user on his road tax.
 It is a well-known fact that the roads of southern Idaho are in a frightful condition for nine months out of twelve; from the time they dry up in the spring until about June they are in fair condition, but after that they are so full of chuck holes" as to render them discouraging to a light rig driving fast, or to a heavily loaded wagon.

VENICE A DREAM CITY
Approached by Vladuct Over Two
 Miles of Breezy Sea.
Dwelling Place of the Doges Has Kept It's Medieval Aspect Albeit It's Comforts Have Kept Pace
 With Modern Progress.

London-Venice is the dream city of the world. You cannot imagine 1t before seeing it and after leaving it think it must be hard to believe in it's existence. Travelling, while probably the best brain stimulant and mind en- larger known, is apt to spell disil- fusion most of the time. Foreign places, after all, are amazingly like home; foreigners seem to be just plain human beings doing common place things in queer ways and. the wonders" we have anticipated with excitement from childhood dwindle dolefully on being visited.
 The only scenery 1 have found which exactly coincided with my pre- vious fancy is in the Highlands of Scotland, and the only city thus far which has surpassed my fondest ex- pectations is Venice.
 In these days you usually enter town by that most depressing of back doors, railroad yard, hemmed about with dingy traffic and squalid build- ings. Venice is approached. not through desolate wastes of improved real estate" not through the grime of manufacturing suburbs, but by a viaduct, across more than two miles of breezy sea, on whose horizon seems to lie some fair mirage in the form of a city-a jewel city set clean cut in water and light. Suddenly the sea is plotted from about you by a wall. You are in a railroad station.
 Just like other railroad stations, D you say cynically to yourself, and drift toward the exit to find a cab. You step forth and, presto! the dream hegins-or at least it did for me. Of course, had heard there were canals for streets and gondolas for transpor. tation in Venice, but without just real iZing what this meant. Here before me was a beautiful sweep of green water which I knew, by the handsome stone fronted buildings that bordered it opposite, must be the Grand canal. Here at my feet was a fleet of the most graceful small boats ever de signed, long and black and narrow, each with the scimitar like sword of medieval Venice decking its prow each with sunburned, picturesquely dressed oarsman at it's stern.
 Quietly, with none of that clamor usual in Italy, I was motioned aboard one of these fairy craft, my baggage was slowed forward and I was pro. pelled in silence through shadowy lanes of limpid water to my hotel

Piazza dei Signori.

into the front door of which I stepped right from the gondola. For the ar rival of stranger in a strange city, it was all preposterously lovely. And I may say at once that after nearly a week here am still tranquilly dazed with the beauty of the place.
 In practically all respects, save that of comfort, Venice has kept it's medic val aspect. This is due to the absence of horses or of wheeled vehicels of any kind. All traffic passes through the waterways in barges or gondolas. The narrow streets which interlace between the canals are used only by pedestrians, and are spotlessly clean, somewhat like strips of courtyard of American flat buildings, save for the bright display of merchandise and the endless passing of the crowds. To walk about in these streets is a pleas ant mystery. They wind ceaselessly, and just when you think you are surely coming out somewhere near the spot you were foolish enough to aim for, you are brought up abruptly by a canal with no bridge, and have to ad- venture some long detour.
 Your recompense is that the jump ing off place at which you emerged was likely to have given you one more of the inexhaustible variety of pie turesque views which will never cease to draw artists to Venice as long as the sea tides wash the canals and the stones of the palaces stand.

CLEVER WIFE Knew How to Keep Peace in Family.

It is quite significant, the number of persons who get well of alarming heart trouble when they let up on cof- fee and use Postum as the beverage at meals.
 There is nothing surprising about it, however, because the harmful alkaloid -caffeine-in coffee is not present in Postum, which is made of clean, hard wheat
 Two years ago was having so much trouble with my heart," writes a lady in Washington, that at times I felt quite alarmed. My husband took me to specialist to have. my heart examined
 "The doctor said he could find no organic trouble but said my heart was irritable from something I had been accustomed to, and asked me to try and remember what disagreed with me 4
 T remembered that coffee always soured on my stomach and caused me trouble from palpitation of the heart. So I stopped coffee and began to use Postum. I have had no further trouble since.
 "A neighbor of ours, an old man, was so irritable from drinking coffee
  Postum. This made him. very angry, but his wife secured some Postum and made it carefully according to direc- tions.
 ''He drank the Postum and did not know the difference, and is still using 1t to his lasting benefit. He tells his wife that the coffee is better than it used to be, so she smiles with him and keeps peace in the family by serving Postum instead of coffee."
