4 highway culvert Is relatively more
expensive than similar work In a
town because Of the waste Of time
Of the workmen in going to and from
the point at which the work must be
done. In placing the culvert caro-
must also be taken that II will
not be chicken by brush and leaves.
and this duty must be discharged by
the road supervisor, and Will ne. II
he Is worth his salt.
.. The second and VUry import
ant requirement in the building OF Il
culvert Is that Its ends must be pro-
tected by some kind OF wall or fac
ing carried down to Arm founda-
ton. II this be done, Il will be
found that the end OF the culvert will
not be undercut by the water and
will not be broken, frost will not In

Cumbent earth will not slide down

road.

3. The third requirement Ia that
the culvert must be made 80 strong
that II will not become broken and
so tight that II will not leak. These
ends can be reached by building tho
culvcrt Of masonry. concrete or OF

top of the culvert to the surface OF
the road. All technical features OF
culvert buildings are explained In
pamphlets printed for the use of
road supervisors by the highway de-
partments Of most states and by the
United States Office OF public roads
and rural engineering at Washington.
These pamphlets can be obtained free
Of cost upon application so that IT
Is possible for all road supervisors to
be their own culvert builders by fol-
lowing instructions. After all, the
road supervisor is a most important
factor in this work. II he look after
his culverts well, he ought to be re-
tanned in office: II he do not, the
sooner he can be replaced by one
who will do 80 the better for the
public that uses the roads and partic-
ularly for the taxpayers who pay for
them.

And Great Care Should Be OBJ
served When They Are
Constructed.

WASHINGTON. June 24.-UntlI
recent years several OF the more ex-
elusive and respectable cities in the
United States were without an un-
foreground system OF sewers. They
were furnished with open sewers, or
tidal drains, or cess pools, all of
which were much approved by the
scientific authorities of the period.
but none Of which contributed to the
preservation OF the public health. In
the European cities about 800 years
ago, persons who claimed to be bet
ter than the rest insisted on the right
to walk close to the walls of build
ings in passing along streets. That
was queer thing for them to do. as
seen through the spectacles OF the
present age. but 1t was a wholly nat
ural thing in view OF the fact that
the center Of the streets was then
lower than the sides and served AS
n drain or open sewer. Just such as
obtained in New Orleans only n few
years ago. for the refuse Of the adj
joining houses. This central drain
was called the kennel" so that
when the arrogant swashbuckler or
dered the humble citizen to get him
self away into his kennel he did not
mean to consign him to the dog
house. but to the sQualor Of the mid
die OF the road.
In France this central drain was
called "coulouere." which meant n
channel. or gutter, OF gallery, and
which has come to mean in later
times in the English speech Of the
roadbuilders the culvert, IAN arched
or fiat covered drain OF brick-worls.
pipes or masonry carried under a
road, raiload. etc. for the passage
OF water" Without the word. the
roadbuilders would not know how to
describe their work and without the
culvert 1t would not be possible TO
build good roads.
Case in Point.
II It be poorly built, 1t will GER
tainly become the source OF danger
and great expense. Here Is a case
in point. Some years ago on the
best road from Springfield to Pitts
field, Mass. there was a section sew
eral miles long which was crossed by
culverts built Of rough stone with

tops of the culverts being supported
by the side walls. These culverts
were all small, probably not more
than eighteen inches wide, and their
tops were covered with only a few
inches of earth and gravel. One year
the warm weather OF spring was very
late and the rainfall was heavy.
When frost came out Of the road
the culverts were disturbed. thor
joints we're opened and the earth

FROM AMERICA
Are at Least 100000 Italian
Soldiers Now Fighting in
the War in Europe.

ROME. June 24.-The number Of
present Italian soldiers who have ell
Their been to the United States or else
have relatives there Is estimated as
high as 100000, proportion that
is said to be larger in this respect
than that Of any other army in Eu-
rope.
Everywhere or the italian front
the American visitor finds men who
have been to the United States. and
they usually seem proud Of the fact.
On a recent visit to the war zone. a
correspondent was trying TO get a

LAND TAX SYSTEM
GROWS IN COUNTY,
BOWMAN DECLARES

Study Of the taxation problem in
Wayne county that has been made by
by County Auditor L. S. Bowman, will
be used as the basis for revision in
the state tax laws. This revision has
been suggested by the state commiss-
ion on taxation.
Governor Ralston recently appointed
a Wisconsin university expert to make
a preliminary study. Mr.. Bowman is
vice-president of the state tax assoc
iation, which instigated the revision
demand. The recent hearing in India
napolis was attended by Mr.. Bowman
who rehearsed the conditions as he
found them in Indiana To Mr.. Bow
man has been assigned the study of
county and township taxes.
This country is witnessing great
change in the methods of taxation, y
said Mr.. Bowman. THE state is grad
ually approaching the Henry George
system of land tax, which is a single
tax on real estate. One hundred years
ago, ] find that in Wayne county, 40
per cent OF the taxes were on real
estate and go per cent on personal
Today | find that IS per cent Is on
real estate and 35 per cent on person
al property"
Mr. Bowman said the plan of the
state association, whose powers have
now been delegated to the commiss-
ion on taxation appointed by Governor
Ralston, Is to present revised code to
the state legislature next December.

Life Of Savage
More Sensible
Than Modern

The theory that most of the all
ments of today are caused almost en-
tirely by those habits that distinguish
the white man from his long ago
brother, the savage, is more widely
discussed every day.
The savage, in many ways, was a
more sensible being than the man who
made war on him and then seized his
birthright. 1t has been said by medi-
cal authorities that nine out of ten
cases Of sickness can be traced to a
diSordered stomach. and that the all
ments are due, in a large measure,
10 excessive eating and drinking and
to little healthful outdoor exercise.
Common sense should be used in
our mode OF living. 1t was with this
end in view that Joseph Won Trim
bach the noted chemist and origin
ator Of so many health aids, gathered
hehs. roots, barks and flowers from
the most remote parts of the world
and spent years Of his life in expert
menting and study before he arrived
at the solution of the problem of re-
lioving stomach troubles. He named
his discovery Tanlac. Tanlac has met
with instant favor wherever it has
been introduced. II has created ro-
nance in the business world Hun
dreds of thousands of sufferers have
realized the benefits OF this great re-
constructive tonic.
Tanlac is believed to act more ia
vorably because of the nature of it's
ingredients, on ilments of the stomach.
liver and kidneys. and on catarrhal
affections of the mucous membranes,
which. when neglected, are so often
communicated to the vital organs
themselves. than any other known
preparation. This ideal reconstructive
tonic appetizer, invigorant and build
or of tissues has been lauded by men
and women in all walks of life. 1t
has proved a boon for sufferers from
those all too common ailments.
Tanlac now is being especially in
troduced in Richmond at Glenn Thistle
thwaite's drug stores, where the Tan
lac man explains its merits and the
results which may be expected from
its use

Our NJ. Ms are glad to know we are
to have a Baby Week. 1t is right in
line with our ideas of what should
be. When we organized it was given
out that each mother must bring one

however. yet all such are especially
welcome,for our aim and object is.

those mothers who are kept at home
with little ones and cannot attend
other societies and gatherings.
While it is expected that these
mothers learn some things during
Baby Week, it is also quite likely that
We may all profit by their experience,
if they are disposed to give it: for
no one is better qualified to give in
struction than the mother who loves
her babe and takes a real interest
in caring for it properly.
If she has a large family, then her
experience is more valuable. especially
in regard TO older children. for many
