You Must Purify Your Blood
In the Spring

Are you simply dragging your way
through life, suffering tortures from
some blood malady that has stolen
your health. robbed you of the ability
to enjoy life's pleasures, made the fu-
ture hopeless uncertainty. and left
you but a shadow of your forme r
strong self?
II so, let us warn you to look to your
blood, and you will likely find the
cause Of your trouble. Poisoned blood
can be blamed for more disease and
suffering than any other thing, and
there can be no health until the life
fluid, that feeds and builds up every
part of the body is made pure and free
from poison.
Whether your bad blood is shown by
malaria, rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula,
contagious blood poison. or some other
blood disorder, you can be we'll. and
again feel the bounding buoyancy of
health that comes only with pure and
well-nourlshed blood.
S. S. S. is the greatest blood remedy

VENTILATION FOR HENH0USE
Reason Given for So Many Apparent
ly Healthy Fowls Cropping Dead
or Their Roosts.

1t has been proved by experiments
that impurities given off from the
lungs Of Ons animal are much mere
poisonous to another animal than they
are to the animal giving them OF.
You can prove this for your own
satisfaction, ii you care to. Put a
mouse in a self-sealiDg fruit Jar and
make the cover tight. In a few min.
utes he will begin to show signs of
suffocation. Then without admitting
any more fresh air than you can help,
introduce a second mouse into the
jar. This second mouse will die be.
fore the first one, though he was fresh
when the first one was nearly suffo.
Gated. The reason for this is that the
second mouse did not die of suffoca
ton. but was killed by the poison
given on from the lungs of the first
one.
II is entirely possible that this is
the reason why so many hens in ap.
parently good physical thrift drop
dead of the roost. The ventilation
is poor and the birds become poisoned
by the gases from the lungs of their
perchmates.

In houses where the dropping boards

ROAD
BUILDING
FIXING BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
Temporary Expedients for Making
Them Passable-shouId Be EN-
pIoyed Only In Emergencies.


Trrom Weekly News Letter. United states
Departmtn, OF Agriculture)
Temporary repairs TO roads are, or
at least should be, confined to emer-
gency measures. In proportion to the
results obtained, temporary work is al
ways expensive and is never JUSTIFIED
by ordinary conditions. Unusual con-
ditions, however, often occur to plague
the road man. For example, the clos
ing Of main highway TO traftic be-
cause of construction, repair or wash
outs may suddenly throw heavy traf-
| fic for a short time on a little-used and
probably unimproved byway. Clearly,
In such a case temporary expedients
are legitimate.
The most common troubles met with
| in a case of this kind are mudholes
and ruts IL the soil is heavy, and dust
and loose sand II the soil is light or
sandy.
On a clay or gumbo road mudholes
usually cause the most trouble. AS
water is absolutely necessary for the
existence of a mudhole, any treatment,
whether temporary or permanent in
character, must provide for getting rid
of the water. The first step is, there
fore, to dig trench to the side and
allow the water and mud to drain. If
necessary, open up also the side
bitches. Furthermore, remove all OF
the soft mud left in the mudhole. The

with broken stone or coarse gravel so
] as to provide a drain to prevent any
1 further accumulation of water. Gravel
is the best material for filling the old
mudhole. II gravel is not available,
use the best earth at hand, tamping it
down in three or four-inch layers. If
possible, spread a little gravel or sand
over the new fill, which should be
made slightly higher than the adjoin-
ing road surface. The best treatment
of all, however, is to keep the drain
age in good condition. Serious mud
holes will then rarely, develop.
Don't try to fill a mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
I
it with large stones, because If this is
done there will soon be two mudholes

hole with sods or similar material
which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid Of dragging too often during a
rainy spell. II thin coat of-sand or
gravel be spread over the road sur
face when 1t has been softened by rain
and then worked in by traffic and a
liberal use of the drag. a poor earth
road can be much improved and made
to carry a surprisingly heavy traffic
for a short time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo
road, the sand road gives least trouble

during wet weather On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement of the sand particles will
be of value. AS long as the road is
damp, the surface tension of the capil-
larry water acts as a binder and holds
tie separate grains of sand in place.
All efforts should. therefore, be direct
al toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out, or to adding some
binder The addition of clay furnishes
a positive binder and is really the best
and most permanent treatment. The
addition of any fibrous material such
as straw. spent tan bark. sage brush
or pine needles is Of value and, when
spread on thesroad and covered with
a thin coat of sand or allowed to work
into the surface. will make an almost
impossible sand road fairly good for a
time. But the best way to treat bad
place. whether on clay or a sand
road, is to treat it before 1t gets bad.
Immediate attention to small injuries
will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs TO serious dam
ages.

 The equipment of the road also is

 This, however, vii! be considerable
 improvement over the time made by the motor truck trains operating from Columbus.

This step, how ever will not be taken under the pres ent circumstances and in any event it is planned to continue the motor truck trains as at least supplementary service
 The complete absence of any definite | news of the pursuit of Villa has caused a noticeable slackening of interest in the chase as far as the border is con- l cerned It is practically conviction 1 here that the bandit haS eluded his 1 pursuers, at least at present. and that no clash between the Villistas and i American troops can be expected in the ] immediate future.

 FL PASO, Tex, March 29-The first train bearing supplies to General Per shing's troops at the front will leave JuareZ some time tomorrow. Imme- diately on receipt of the news from Washington that General Carranza had permitted the use of the Mexico Northwestern railroad for the sending of supplies, preparations were rusned by the quartermaster's department for the forwarding of forage, food. sup plies and gasoline.
 The limitations imposed by General Carranza, ccnfining shipments to goods sent to concerns in Mexico who have contracts with the eXpeditionary force, caused some disappointment among army officers. It was feared that these restrictions, coupled with the fact that military guards could not accom- pany the trains. might seriously ham, per the transmission of an adequate stream of supplies.

 WASHINGTON, March 29.-The ac- cumulation of circumstantial evidence indicating that Germany has engaged upon campaign of submarine war fare which has no regard for the rights of American citizens travelling on mer- chant ships of belligerent nationality, the administration considers. has cre- ated one of the most serious situations which has confronted the United States since the beginning of the war in Europe.
