repairs needed in order to keep roads
good, and that is not done without ex-
pense. In fact, the maintenance and
depreciation charges are usually great
er for good roads than for ordinary
roads, but goods roads are worth the
extra expense, and they are, therefore,
good business.
Many people speak of the surface
Of good road as though it were an
arch which must support the weight
Of traffic, but the chief concern in
properly constructed good roads Is the
wear on the road surface material,
caused by the grinding action of
wheels and the suction action of rapid
ly moving automobile tires, which re-
move the fine dust and binding ma
terials, exposing the coarser and more
compact material.
Macadam, one of the most famous
road builders, laid down three rules
for making good road; Q) Good
Drainage, (2) Better Drainage, (3)
Still Better Drainage; or, in other
words, "a good road has tight roof
and dry cellar" Proper drainage to
prevent water from getting into the
road from beneath and good surface
to cause the rainfall to run off before
entering the foundation, will insure a
good road, because well-packed earth
foundation will sustain the weight of
ordinary country traffic without break
ing through. If the surface is not pre-
served, the foundation of the road will
be damaged, and this applies to dirt
as we'll as rock roads, for in many
cases we find that earth roads are the
most advisable kind of good roads and
all that the traffic wants.
It Is necessary to keep the roof
tight. Do not allow holes to remain
in the road surface, for If they are not
repaired the water will collect In them
and run through into the foundation,
causing chuck holes"

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
81 was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that could
not do without it, but after years of
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, attributed it to the drink
ing of coffee, and after some thought
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.
81 had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg. and
found it just suited my taste.
"At first used it only for breakfast,
but | found myself getting so much
better, that had it at all meals, and l
am pleased to say that have been re
lieved of indigestion. / gained 10
pounds in 4 months and my general
health is greatly improved.
81 must tell you of young lady in
Illinois. She had been In i'll health for
many years, the vital forces low, with
but little pain. wrote her of the good
that Postum did me and advised her to
try 1t.
"At the end of the year, she wrote
me that she had gained 40 pounds in
weight and felt like herself again."

Duty of Every Farmer.

No man who farms should begrudge
the time he spends in grading, drag
ging and ditching the highways. He
must use them IL months in the
year. Every days work makes them
q little better If the work is done In
telligently.
In many localities the merchants
have aided In the work Of road bet
terment, and it seems ridiculous that
their efforts should be distrusted by
the farmers.

ROADS AND ROAD MATERIALS
Highway Should Be No More Expen
sive Than Traffic Warrants, and
Materials Suited to Traffic.

By v. M. CONE, Colorado Agricultural
College.)
Roads and road materials are the
subject of much discussion all over
the country. Most of our roads are
still being patched up. or, which Is
still worse, being turned upside down
periodically with pillow and scraper,
and soft road is the certain result
However, some good roads are being
built each year. Roads are a busi-
ness. If they are good roads they
are a good business, If they are bad
roads they are bad business. A road
should be no more expensive than the
traffic warrants, and the materials Of
which the road is constructed must be
suited to the traffic.
Cobble stones are good roads for
heavy drayage and asphaltum pave
ments are excellent for pleasure We
hicles, but they are certainly not in
Interchangeable In usage. 1t would be
as foolish in many cases to have an
asphaltum pavement on country
road, as dirt street In the busy traf-
flc district of city.

FIRE SWEEPS GREENFIELD.

Loss of $4,000 Incurred in Business
Section ConfIaeration.
Greenfield suffered a
neavy loss by fire. The Greenfield
Drug Company caught fire and the
blaze spread north on Main street to
McAdams dry goods store, consuming
the entire building. The total loss will
probably be near $4,000, of which
about half was covered by insurance.
A good many Of the merchants re-
moved the greater part of their goods
from the buildings that did not burn.
The entire block was threatened and
very little hope left when the flames
reached Keinstein dry goods store

flock than to force the hens to manu-.
facture the egg shells from mineral
matter in their regular feed, There IS
no use in being forced to accept thin
shelled eggs.
1t was found at the college of agri-
culture, University Of Wisconsin, that
some hens will not usually lay eggs
until a fairly good shell cap be formed
and that others would lay eggs as fast
as they were formed-often with little
or no shell. OF course some may lay
soft or thin-shelled eggs even when
oyster shells and other shellmaking
materials are kept constantly before
them. Such hens, however, are excep-
tional and should be disposed Of
promptly.
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1915-02-05

Are your hens laying thin-shelled
eggs?
If so, feed them crushed oyster
shells, lime rock, bone, old plaster, or
other similar materials. Then the
eggs will reach the market in far bet
ter condition, and you will receive
more for your shipments.
Many eggs become broken on the
way from the farm to the retail gro
Ger or wholesaler. and the contents of
the broken eggs become smeared
over the others, making disagree
able mess to handle, and resulting in
an actual loss.

Nashville stands just about where
it did fifty years ago in regard to pro-

Despite the fact that the medical pro-
