LlFE'S ROAD
Smoothed by Change Of Food.

Worry is big load to carry and an
unnecessary one. When accompanied
by indigestion il certainly is cause for
the blues.
But the whole trouble may be easily
thrown off and lfe's road be made
easy and comfortable by proper eating
and the cultivation of good cheer.

DRINK NOT STRENGTHENING.

Intoxicating liquors can supply yoL
with no energy, no force. They can.
not add to your strength. Alcohol,
like whip or spur applied to a horse.
draws strength from you. or rather
out OF you. but 1t can give you none.
So far from helping you, beer, wine
and spirits will hinder you in what
ever work you have to do. Other
things being equal. you will have the
greategt steadiness of hand, firmness
OF grasp, and clearness OF mind, by
total abstinence from every kind OF
intoxicating liquor.
This has been my own experience,
and it has been the experience of
vast numbers OF men and women liv.
ing in every country. and following
every kind Of occupation. Alcohol has
been found TO reduce the strength,
and the hardest work has been best
and most easily accomplished under
total ahstinence.-Dr. Norman N.
Kerr.

GAINESVILLE STREETS OILED.
Surface Coating After Several Appli-
cations Resembles Asphalt.


Gainesville, Tex, Aug. 23-Gaines,
vile now has more miles of oiled
streets than any city of its size in
Texas. Every thoroughfare of any
prominence in town has been oiled
and quite a number of the side
streets and alleys have received a
good soaking of oil
Gainesville claims the distinction
also of having the best oiled streets.
The highway to be oiled is first lev
eled up by placing gravel in all ruts,
and then running the steam roller
over the street until the ground is
well packed. Next the street sweep
er is run over the thoroughfare, re-
moving all the sand to the sides of
the street. Then a good coating of
regular road oil with a large per-
centage of asphalt in it, is put on,
after which the sand that was swept
off the street is scattered over the
top of the oil. This keeps the oil
from picking up, and when dry leav-
es a crust on top almost as nice as
any asphalt paved street California
street in this city, which was oiled
last year, was given another coating
this year and that thoroughfare looks
as if it had been paved with asphalt,
the crust being six inches deep in
places.

Mother Mary Thomas entered the
Order of Mercy in the pioneer days
iof Oklahoma, when the Indians for
whom she has so faithfully labored
wore feathers and blankets; when
famine more than ence threatened the
mobile little band of a dozen Sisters
lwho braved the then unknown wild

lpoint was seventy-five miles and prai
lrie schooners the mode of travel; of
ten risking their lives in being obliged
to dare the perils of the treacherous
| Canadian in their overland Journeys
OF several days to trading posts and
between the first two or three early
missions Mother NJ. Thomas is the
last OF that first little band; the
greater number Of whom have long
since stood before their Supreme
Judge.
The Sisters of Mercy whose com
munity in Oklahoma now numbers
about eighty, were the first to open
a school in Oklahoma or Indian Ter
pitory. Thrty-two years ago they
built boarding school at Sacred
Heart Pottawatomie Nation, for the
white girls of the military forts and
trading posts and for the Indians in
the territory. The mining camps OF
Lehigh and Krebs next became theiI
points OF ministration. making friends
and pupils of the begrimed miners
many of whom first learned to read
and do sums in the night schools
conducted for them by the Sisters
while their children attended day
school; the building being converted
into a temporary hospital when eX
plosions occurred in the mines. When
Oklahoma City was a little town of a
few hundred, three or four Sisters
opened a day school there. Shawnee
very soon became their next point.
