A NEW GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT.


A leading Pennsylvania manufac-
turer has recently returned from a
t~op through Europe, and since his
return he has Joined in the agitation
for good roads in his state.
He says he vas impressed with the
good roads in all European countries
aid particularly in Italy, notoriously
enc of the poorest countries in the
world. He says he asked the Ital-
ian people why they spent so much
money on their roads and they told
him: We are SO poor we can't afford
10 have bad roads. We must make
one horse do the work OF three
or four horses in your country, and
to do this we must keep u roads in
the best of condition. We just could
not get along with bad roads" i.
This, We believe, is a new argu-
rent in this country for good roads
that people may SO poor that
they cannot afford bad roads. 1t is
worth thinking about-Anderson'

of universal benefit to every farmer

The growing of Alfalfa most adva1-
tageouly in Polk County is predicted
by every one who is familiar with its
cultivation. n also with our fotit
county soil, they all say that alfalfa
will be the salvation of the Polk county
farmer of the present day, and if there
is any crop that can be SO easily in
troduced and so successfully grown
upon most of our Polk county farms,
as can alfalfa, why will not an earnest
effort be made by our enterpris1ng
farmers to demonstrate the feasibility
and the ~practicability of growing this
forage crop that has SO ma~ryelously
enriched Intersections, where natural
conditions were no better than those
Of Polk county at the present time.

any information it can, aboutst the grow
Ing of alfalfa, to any of it's readers at
any time. and will be glad to have I

Polk county that has grown it here.

Philadelphia. Dec. s.-The recent
congress of the American MEDICAL So
ciety held for the study of alcohol and
narcotics in this city, aroused great IN

value of alcohol as a stimulent or food
and the dangers that lie in it as a
poison
Taking up the question from its
many viewpoints under the caption.
Public Health a Question of Alcoholic
Degeneracy.9 DR.. Alexander MacNich-
oil of New York. vice president of the
society, in an article published the
OTHER day, says in part:
"A a of degeneracy is sweeping
the land. a degeneracy so appalling in
magnitude that It staggers the mind
and threatens to destroy the republic
numbering more victims than have
been claimed in all the wars and all
the epidemics of acute diseases that
have swept the. country within 200
years"
After saying that modern scientific
methods had reduced the mortality
from acute diseases such as typhoid,
yellow fever and plague, DR.. MacNieh-
oil continued:
"Degeneracy is shown in the increas-
ing rate of mortality resulting from
tho spread of chronic diseases. Within
30 years the mortality from chronic
diseases has doubled, and today chron
ic disorders of the lungs, kidneys. heart
and other organs are responsible for
more than half the deaths.
What is the cause of all this degen-
eracy? Statistics compiled by the
leading insurance companies and pre-
sented by Sir T. P. Whitaker in a re-
port to the British parliament show
that of every 1000 deaths among the

THE VALUE OF OLD NEWSPAPERS.

| End so much use. for old newspa-
pers insthe kitchen that l Wonder how
any housekeepef ear get along without
the newspaper for this use alone.
When doing UP the morning work /
find them convenient and labor saving,
in fact I use them all day long for this
thing Or the other as they suggest
themselves. At the table it is so easy
to slip a paper under the small chi1d's
Iplate and then remove it when the
meal is over with The linen as fresh as
ever. Newspapers make excellent hot
dish plates. Fold them several thick
ness, work the top shut and quilt them
together in small circles with long
stitches on the sewing machine. Then
pink or scallop edges with shears.
When you want them clean, tear off q
sheet.
Paper will soon find its way on the
table of the ever busy housekeeper.
We have already began the use of pa
rer plates and napkins at u Clue
socials to save dish washing and that
is the bug bear of work for nearly
every housewives. New spapers will al
ways hold their own for the cupboard
and cabinet shelves, with a sheet Of
the perforated shelf paper pasted on
the edge, they make a very neat APP
pearing cupboard. Then they can be
freshened SO often which makes them
even better to my notion than oil cloth.
When baking, / like to spread a
couple of newspapers aroundlthe kiteh-
! en- cabinet where I am likely to drop
flour, etc. They are so easily gathered
up and burned, dirt and all. Also when
ehurning. When trying meat, etc
they will catch all the grease that hap
pens to pop to the floor and save mop

When taking up ashes. if you spread
a paper, they will catch all that would
otherwise fall to the floor, and it is so
much easier to walk to the door and

with broom and dastpan, besides the
floor looks so much better afterwards.
When filing the lamps a newspaper
upon which you place them will catch
all oil that would otherwise be a
mess to clean up. Sometimes it is
wise to place one on the floor too, for
lanterns are so hard to fill and one
might have an accident.
When the weather is cold it is very
hand to dress a chicken in the house #
you place a couple of newspapers un
der the scaIding bucked. Then lay the
chicken on them and put feathers in
bucket. All is easily gathered up and
burned.
It is a very wise idea to always keep
the old papers in a pile on a conven-
lent shelf in the kitchen. You will
want them forssinging the chicken.
besides a goodly supply is always in
demand for market baskets. Try my
ideas and see how mucn easier they
will make your work-Polk County
