Tissues Fairly Soaked Up Water.
That night the Earring movement of
the train was halted. They heard the
iron bar wrenched from its place and
the door thrust back. People came to
them bearing lanterns. Jean does not
know whether they were men or wom-
en-. He only remembers that for hours
for centuries-he had been thinking
only OF the thirst that tortured him. He
had forgotten the pain Of his wounds.
The hard boards of the floor no longer
hurt his cut and bruised body. With all
the intensity Of his being he longed for
water. His lips were dry and hard.
He could no longer moisten them.
They took one of US out here said

They drank, these sick men, until they
became Ill and vomited. Then they
drank again. Their dried tissues fair

was slammed shut again. and the hor-
rible ride recommended. Jean gave way
again. He lay bedded in the straw, like
hurt animal, and cried in an agony
of Self-pity. He wondered why the
comrade had been taken from their
manned company. He tried to remem.
ber the bearing of the strangers. There
is difference in the manner in which
one picks up a dead man. he explained,
and the way in which one lifts a man
who still has capacity for suffering. He
could not remember. He was again be-
coming thirsty.

Heat Very Trying
to Women S Nerves
They Neglect Their Bowels and II
Poisons Vitiate the Blood.

Hot weather has a very weakening
effect on women. They are too Ian
guage to exercise, and as a result have
appetite only for foods that seem light
and tasty, such as salads and other
cold connections. But these frequent
ly produce Indigestion, and with it
comes constipation.
1t is especially in hot weather that
women should keep up the highest
standard of health, for it is necessary
to have strength to resist the heat
The first essentials are good diges-
ton and regular bowel movement. and
then good red blood and steady nerves
will follow. The best way to obtain
these is not by an over indulgence in
fruits, which often are not ripe, or
over-ripe, and hence are dangerous,
but in the use of a gentle and pleas
ant-tasting bowel stimulant like DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. Use it to-
night and your constipation, indiges-
ton and sick headaches will vanish
by morning.

self, very fiattering to our progressive
ness. 1t shows however, that we have
at least made beginning. OF the O.
226,S42 miles of roads in the United
States, 22S,774 miles, or approximately
10 per cent, are classed as improved.
To improve the remaining so per
cent may we'll seem a big job. 1t is,
in fact only made possible because the
terial gathered by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, it is now posi-
BILE to prove not only that good roads
are a profitable investment, but to de-
ternline exactly what dividends they
pay. An investigator assigned to this
problem In any given locality first
ascertains the extent of the territory
that is tributary to sany main road,
much as one might ascertain the ter
ritory tributary to some river. The
next step is an accurate estimate of
the total products of this territory; so
much grain, so much tobacco, so much
garden truck, etc, ETC. OF this guam
tity a certain portion is consumed on
the farm: the rest is shipped over the
road in question. The whole calcula-
ton can then be checked by investiga-
tors at the shipping point to which
the road leads.
In general it has been found that the
two methods yield much the same IN
formation-the total amount of pro-
duce nauled over the road Next. the
length of the average haul is calcu-
lated, the size of the load permitted
by the character of the road ascertain
ed, and the cost of teams and drivers
figured. With these facts before HIM.
the investigator is now able to state
positively the cost of hauling a ton of
produce ons that road, to express in
terms of these ton miles" the freight
traffic on the road, and finally the total
cost to the community served by the
road of hauling its goods to market.
Armed with these data, it is easy to
decide how much money can be pro-
fitably spent in improving the road,
and what are the returns that the in
vestment yields to the community.
These returns are of various kinds.
First and foremost is the reduction in
the actual cost of hauling, the plain
fact that it takes less time and labor
to haul load over a good road than
effect of improved roads in increasing
the total output of a community. In
the case of one county in Virginia
where particularly thorough records
have been kept, this output was more
than doubled. The farmers found that
with a market always and readily ac-
cessible to them, it paid to work the
land to its maximum production.
This explains the very remarkable
rise in farm land values which nearly
always accompanies road improve
ment. The rise is not fictitious one,
of no benefit to the man who wishes
to farm and not to sell. The land is
mere valuable because it can profita-
bly, be made to produce more. In 9TH
er words, the money that goes into
the road comes back with interest from
the land.

WHAT IT IS COSTING UNITED
STATES TO imp ROVE HIGHWAYS
And WHAT IT Gets IN RETURN

Washington, July 20.-Approximately
S2Oe,000,000 was spent last year on
public roads in the United States, ac-
cording to statistics prepared by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In 1904 the total was only &c.,
100000. In nine years, therefore the in
crease has been over $50 per cent.
This awakening on the part of the
country to the Importance of good
reads has, experts say, been due in
great measure to the principle of state
aid to counties and other local COM
munities. New Jersey began the move
ment in 1891 when it passed its State
Highway Law. Massachusetts and
Vermont followed a year later. but
for the most part the other States were
slow to move. In 1904 only fifteen had
state highway department, today
there are only six that have not. In
1913 the individual States appropriated
total of s38,755,0SS to supplement To-
cal expenditures.
The value of this state aid is, how
ever, not to bs measured by the fig
ures alone, for the bulk of the money
comes, and always must come, from
1912, the cash outlay by counties. dis
tricts and townships, was $137, 493, 1856.
Complete figures for 1919 are not yet
available, but it is safe TO estimate
the sum at approximately $151, 100000.
To this must be added some $4,000, 900
to represent the value of the labor con-
tributed instead of cash in districts
where this practice prevails. Last year
therefore, local communities contribute
ed, in round numbers, S166, 600 900, as
against appropriations from state
treasures of $38, 755, 0sS The true i'm
portance of this s3S, 900 600 lies in the
fact that it means expert supervision
Of the expenditure of a considerable
portion of the vast sum of 5000 0006 600.
When each county built as it chose
and when it chose, the services of
trained engineers We're usually out of
the question. There was little oppor-
tunity to test innovations, little adj
vance in the science of bodybuilding.
and there was also difficulty in arous-
ing each county individually to do its
best to improve conditions within its
own limits. State aid has changed ali
this. The best engineering skill is
available for all works of Importance,
there is cooperation and constant
stimulus to further improvements. The
money contributed by the states does
not only build more roads. it makes
better those that other money builds.
At the present time there are In the
United States 20,741 miles of roads i'm
proved either wholly or in part by
state aid. This is nearly the mileage
of the French routes nationales, the
system of great national highways
which is the envy of every civilized ma
ton. The routes nationales are, of
course. only a small part of the total
mileage of France. where practically
every road of any Importance is an
improved road, and France is a vastly
smaller country, both in area and in
population than the United States, so
that this comparison is not, in it
