MAKING Better Highways

1t is the common observation of
extensive drivers that bad roads
means that from one-half to one
fourth of the mileage is bad-Often
less than that. Sometimes these
roads were continuously good but a
short time before. Why are they
bad in places now? Usually it will
be found that a heavy growth of
grass is growing on both sides Of
the track at the bad places. This
grass catches the dust and mud,
builds up the sides until they are
higher than the travelled portion Of
the road and creates a condition for
ruts and mudholes. The solution is
the use of the King drag, which
while keeping the center Of the road
crowned keeps the grass from grow
ing between the track and the
ditches
King drags, made of steel and adj
Unstable, are cheap and the most
efficient road machine on the mar
ket. 1t is suited for use on the bad
places-and is good any place.

WONDERFUL SAVING Of LIVES RESULT
Of ORGANIZED PUBLIC HEAL WORK

1914, with an increase in population
of from 24,500 to $4,000, the total
number of deaths was 202, seven
deaths for each 1000 of population.
Had the rate of 1912 continued, the
deaths in 1913 would have totaled 1854
instead of PAT and those of 1914
would have been 400 instead of 202.
The story Of this saving of 321
lives in two years and the manner in
which the steady rise in the city's
death curve was checked is revealed
graphically by the following table of
vital statistics for the last 7 years.
