Paying for Good Highway Bridges.
No matter how good the surface OF
a road may be-, II the bridges arc weak
and the culycrts poor, the highway is
far from satisfactory. The annual rec
ord of bridge failures under thresh-
ing machines and other heavy loads
makes long list. and the cost Of re-
pairing the annual damage TO poor
cllyerts is a large sum. In progress
siyc communities, therefore, strong
steel and concrete bridges and well
built culycrls are being constructed
before expensive road surfacng Is
done. This work is often paid for
ont Of the annual tax levy for road
and bridge construction, and absorbs
such large part Of the funds that
too little money is left for grading
the surfacng.
Good bridges and cuIyorts arc
Dcrmancnt structures, ard the deputy
minister Of highways OF Ontario
W. A. Mclean, has advised the tax
payers Of that province to pay for
them BY bond issue where the total
expenditure for the purpose is large.
In such a case he suggests compiling
a complete list Of the bridges and
culycrts needed preparing plans and
estimates for their construction, and
then financing the work so that its
cost will be cduitably distributed over
n period Of years raher than be con
ccntratcd on the taxpayers Of few
years. Where there are few Of these
structures and none is expensive, the
policy Of paying for them out Of the
annual tax levy cannot be criticized,
in his. opinion. for it does not inter
fcre apprcciahIy with satisfactory
progress in grading drainage sur
facing and maintenance.

 pretty style recently introduced shows the hair with an almost i'm. perceptible wave parted at the left side and combed across the head to the right side. It is brought a little way down in a curve at the middle of the forehead and arranged in four soft coils across the back of the head, against the nape of the neck A jew. eled comb is thrust in the hair above the coils and at the right of the crown.
 The most becoming of recent styles has small pompadour across the fore head and stands out at the sides, sug- gesting the bobbed hair of children. In this style the back hair is coiled low across the head. In the latest cultures short curls are appearing sometimes at each side of the face and sometimes in the coils at the back of the head. and there is reason to be- lieve that the popularity of the uncov. cred forehead is waning

JIMMY GOT HIS HELPING
Watched Beautiful Appetite of Darling of His Heart and Suffered
 In Silence.

They were speaking of the trails and tribulations of the man in love the other evening, when an appropriate story was recalled by Senator W. R. Oglesby of New York.
 Some time since Jimmy took the darling of his heart to restaurant, where it cost many plunks to chew, and although the dear girl had said she wasn't bit hungry, she hastily remarked chicken and all the attend ant glories when the menu card was placed before her. And all that Jim my could do was to watch her beauti- full appetite, and suffer in silence.
 'Why, Jihmie," suddenly exclaimed the dear one, you are not eating-a bit of this lovely chicken. It is simply great. Won't you have some?"
 'fNo, darling" answered Jimmy, with the best he could produce in the way of smile. T have had all I want"
 "All that you want, Jimmy?"a re- turned the other, surprised. Why, you haven't had any"
 Yes, I have, dear" said Jimmy, with a sigh that came all the way from his pocketbook. The waiter just handed me the bill" l."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

 Although the doctor had told them that there was nothing more he could do, Steele and his wife still waited in the sickroom beside their boy. He was an only child, eight years of age. He lay in stupor now; the lips, which had mercifully ceased to mItter, re- mained half open, and the breath hissed between them. For several days the crisis had been approaching; for hours it had been losing battle.
 Steele, the bank clerk, remained seated at the bedside. He held one clammy hand in his own, and his eyes were fixed unseeingly upon the unsee- ing eyes of the child.
 Miriam Steele knelt at the boys side, her head on her arms. She had not stirred for an hour. In her heart had been the unspoken prayer, always reiterated:
 70 God, if thou art merciful, spare my boy and take from some other fam fly where there are many children!"
 It had almost seemed to her as if the intensity of her prayer must find some answer. Yet Charley had stead fly grown worse, and she had not dared to meet her husbands eyes.

"T know one dish I can prepare for bl eakfast as well as any cook on earth said my husband one morning when the cook was i'll and he had vol unteered to help get breakfast. He appeared with his dish and I discov- cred it was Grape-Nuts which, of course, was easy to prepare for it was perfectly cooked at the factory, but it was a good illustration of the conven- fence of having Grape-Nuts about.
 We took up Grape-Nuts immedi- ately after returning from five years sojourn in a hot country. Our stom- achs were in bad condition and we were in poor health generally.
 Tn a day or two we liked Grape Nuts better than any other kind of food on the table. We both gained steadily in health and strength, and this was caused by Grape-Nuts and Postum.
 "A friend of ours had similar ex- indigestion and could find nothing to eat that would not give her heartburn and palpitation, especially at night.
 She found that small dish of Grape-Nuts with cream made her a satisfactory supper and gave her comfortable nights rest. In a short time she gained several pounds in weight"

Little overbodies of taffeta or other light silk are worn with them. They are cut without sleeves, having bands over the shoulders, and just to reach the top of the frills on the underbody. Their edges are pinked or finished with hemstitching. They may be made of wide ribbon, and several over bodies in various colors made to be worn with one frock. Slips of silk or null to match them will bring the frock into harmony with any color scheme, but they are prettiest when worn over white with color confined to the overbodice and hair ribbons.
 Very handsome and showy party dresses for the small girl are made by joining fins val or other lingerie lace insertion to embroidered organdie insertion in alternating rows. by means of hemstitching. Although the lace. embroidery and hemstitch1ng are all machine made the effect ot these in combination is fine. The in sertions must be pasted together at home and the hemstitching done by someone who has the proper machine for it.

The little beauty of the family, hay Ing attained the responsibilities that begin with her fifth or sixth year, finds plenty of opportunity for wear !ng finery. What with Easter and June weddings that require her serv- Ices as flower girl, and birthday and other parties that are always happen Ing among her friends, her social training is we'll begun.
 frock that will grace any occa- sion that requires fine dress is made of sheer batiste and fine val lace The addition of little very fine hand embroidery will enrich it to the high est degree of elegance in the dress of ihe small girl. Several silk slips to be worn under 1t make a variety of coIors possible, for the diaphanous ba- tfste and the val lace veil all colors beautifully.
 Other sheer cotton fabrics may be used for dresses of this kind, and the various fiouncings, with narrow and tiaintily embroidered edgings, are very affective in little dresses with full skirts joined to short-waisted bodies. These bodies are finished at the high waist line with one or two narrow frills. made of the embroidered edge from the flouncing, and the short sleeves are merely underfrills of it.

Glass of Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
 a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the
 poisonous, staenant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue. nasty breath, acid stom- ach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast, glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of lime stone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or from the store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, constipa- tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of in- ternal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly Adv.

Miriam Steele slept. Suddenly it seemed to her as if cold blast blew, and, opening her eyes, she saw the Death Angel at the bedside. And she put out her hand to stay the sweep of that mighty sword.
 "Why must he die?" her heart plead. ed.
 The little room on the instant faded from her sight, and she seemed to see in the following vision an answer to her question.
 She was seated, middle-aged wom an, in the parlor. The door flew open and the boy, lad of twenty, ran into her arms.
 Mother" he cried. Just think! ] have got that position in the bank! Now we'll be rich, and some day shall be the president; you mark my wordsi"
 She kissed him; she was very proud of her son. Her husband came home, to learn the news. When Charley had gone from the room they turned and kissed each other. It seemed incred- ible that they had borne this wonder, this prodigy who had secured a post in the great bank against fifty com petitors.
 A year had passed. Miriam Steele saw the boy again. He had come home late; his face was flushed, and there was curious unsteadiness about him as he stood, swaying and smiling, upon the threshold.
 "Charley!" she cried, and then the awful realization came home to her. Her boy was drunk! Charley-whom she had never permitted even to see fntoxicants, whom she had brought up so strictly.
 She rose and went toward him; she smelled the liquor upon his breath. He eyed her foolishly.
 Just been out with tn boys, muz- Eer!" he mumbled, and collapsed into a chair, where he sat, blinking and trying to assure her that he was all right.
 The agony of that night, when, with her arms about him, she helped him up the stairs. The agony upon the fathers face when he learned; the sorrow of both when the rumors of the neighborhood came to them, last of all. Charley Steele was a notorious profligate; he gambled. he drank. he mixed with a gang of wild spirits. Doors were closed to him. Girls turned their heads aside when they encoun- tered him; other girls looked laugh ingly after him-but these were in their turn outcasts from the prim so. ciety of the little town.
 Then came the day when the boy stumbled home, discharged by the bank.
 He was sober now, and quite fmpeni- tent. "Pm going to get out of here," he said. "A man isn't a criminal be- cause he has glass of beer. Nobody

Two views of a very fashionable coiffure are given in the picture shown above. This is one of several varia, tions of the same style in which the hair is drawn back from the fore head and brought forward over the ears. Those who are young eonugh, or look young enough, and have the face for it, may attempt it as it is pictured.
 The style IS not generally becom- ing but nevertheless has many de- voices. It makes up in neatness and finish" what it lacks in softness, and 1t imparts the charm that lies in look Ing well-groomed to those who wear it
 To dress it. the hair may be waved or marcelled and parted at a point on the forehead above each temple The hair at the top of the forehead is .hen combed straight back and even when waved lies fiat to the head with no hint of fiuffiness about it. At the sides it is brought forward and curved over the ears and the ends concealed under coils across the back of the head One or two small ringlets are allowed over the temple. and a recent version of this style has three short curls at the nape of the neck
 The same arrangement of the front hair appears with the back hair brought to the top of the head and coiled into long puff extending to the middle of the crown at the back. In another variation of the style all the hair is combed back from the face and brought to the top of the crown, Ehere 1t forms a loop of hair tied to
