For five years Mrs. Lois Steppe, OF
Danville, Tenn, had been under
treatment for an ailment that baffled
surgical treatment and medical
science. An operation brought no
relief and Mrs. Steppe grew weaker
and weaker from drains upon her
system. Tuesday she was seized
with a severe pain in the left side.
While her husband was applying
liniment. his hand came in contact
with the point of large needle. He
secured a pair of pliers and pulled
it out. The needle was greatly dis
colored. Mrs. Steppe has no idea
how it became inbedded in the flesh.

GOOD
ROADS
ELIMINATE ALL ROAD GRADES
No Team Should Be Required 70 Pull
4 to Its Maximum cspaoity-In-
- terestlng Comparisons.
CBy W. c. lPALMER)

NY w. y. IPAl-Mbtt.J
The average cost of hauling a ton
one mile on the ordinary country
roads is % cents, while the average
price OF hauling one ton one mile on
the railroads is u cent. In other
words, the cost of hauling is 81 times
as much with team and wagon as with
steam. This has been accomplished
by a number of factors. Some OF
these can be and must be considered
In making good roads, that is, to have
a good hard roadbed and to eliminate
grades. The railroads do not, as
rule, have a grade OF more than three
per cent, while some Of them have
adopted two per cent as the maximum
grade. Two per cent would mean a
rise of two feet in a hundred feet.
This would not be considered much Of
a grade on the ordinary road. but this
is the way It works out.
A team can exert a pull on a short
distance OF one-half its weight. but
for ordinary work the load It can pull
should not be over one-tenth the
weight of the team, for instance a
team weighing 1900 pounds can exert
a pull of 300 pounds when it is to con-
tinue the work for, say, ten hours.
For small stretch 1t would be able
to exert pull of $500 pounds. This,
however. is putting forth all the ener-
gy Of which the horses are capable.
1t has also been found that the pull
required to take ton load over ordi-
nary roads is $50 pounds. Surprising,
then, that the load is one ton and the
wagon weighs 1000 pounds, this would
make a total OF $500 pounds. At the
Xa'e Of 100 pounds a ton the total pull
&6s.ld be 264 pounds, or a little less
than the team is capable of hauling
In fact, it could very nicely handle
500 pounds more, which would bring
the pull up to 300 pounds, and make
the load $500 pounds. This, however,
is for the level. AS grade is ap-
preached this. OF course, will be in
creased. A five per cent grade would
increase the draft of the wagon and
load of $500 pounds by 315 pounds
bringing 1t up to $40 pounds, which is
almost twice what the team can han
die as a regular thing If the grade
is Increased to 20 per cent. or 20 feet
in 100 feet, the draft on this same
load would come to little over ! 500
pounds, or the maximum that this
team could pull when exerting its ut
most power. Any grade beyond this
would mean that the load would have
to be reduced, and in fact no team
should be required to have to pull to
its maximum capacity. From this 1t
is evident that increasing the grade
Increases the draft very fast and
hence grades should be eliminated as
fkr as it is possible.
- On a macadam road team can pull
three times as much on the level as
on the good earth road, but the In
crease in draft for grade remains the
same as on the earth road. so that a
grade would be more Objectionable on
a macadam road than on a poor road.
On the level a S.0OO-pound team could
easily handle four tons. while the
maximum grade that it could pull up
with such a load would be ten per
cent grade and even that is more than
should be expected from the team.

 A Glance at History
 Cotton spinning and weaving was a late conner to England. Five centuries before Christ 1t was general throughout India, and Herodotus mentions the use by the Indians, of "a wool of q finer and better quality than that of sheep" Which turned out to be cotton It was not, however, until IS centuries later that It made It's way to Italy and Constanti- nople. In the middle of the thirteenth century 1t was flourishing industry in Spain, and as early as 1760 about 10000 people were engaged in cotton spinning in England.
 Undoubtedly England owes her cotton goods supremacy today to the wonderful band of humble inventors who gave her, and perfected for her. the ingenious ma chimes that made weaving on gigantic scale possible. In 1764, James Hargreaves invented his spinning 'Jenny" which was driven by a flywheel and held a num- Der of spindles and movable frame Fearful that his machine would destroy the demand for labor. Hargreaves neigh bors broke into his house, burnt the jenny and compelled him to leave the district. He went to Nottingham where
