GOOD REPORT
Doctor Proved Value Of Postum.

Physicians know that good food and
drink, properly selected, are Of the ut,
mosa Importance, not only for the re-
lief of disease but to maintain health
even when one is we'll.
A doctor writes, Il count it pleas
ure to say good word for Postum
with which have been enabled to re-
lieve so many sufferers, and which
count, with its valued companion
Grape-Nuts, one of the daily blessings.
Coffee was banished from my own
table some time ago and Postum used
regularly in its place." Coffee is in
furious to many persons, because it
contains the subtle, poisonous drug,
caffeine.)

struct patients when they take Pos

that it is properly made according to
directions, then 1t has a clear, seal
brown color and a rich, snappy taste,
as we'll as health giving qualities.
The above letter, received over ten
years ago. is fully confirmed by a re-
cent letter from the doctor, in which
he says:
1T is pleasure to render good
report covering a product of which

Il am using in my home your Pos

what is more. am having it used in

The problem of maintaining high
ways constructed with borrowed
money should be given as much con-
sideration as is devoted to the more
permanent features of the roadbed
1t has not been customary for off,
Gals to face frankly the cost of the
maintenance and repair of bond-built
highways at the time the bonds are
issued and before construction begins.
As matter of fact, investigations
made by the department show that in
the majority of cases where bonds
have been issued by local authorities
there has been no provision whatever
for maintaining the roads when built.
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method Of building highways by
issuing bonds
Maintenance is necessary in order
to insure to the community the maxi.
mum economic service by the road,
and also to preserve the investment.
The cost of maintenance and repairs
must, therefore, be studied at the
outset. In the absence OF general
data, the reports on maintenance from
states which have highway depart
ments should be of interest to county
officers preparing to issue sroad-build-
ing bonds.
Cost of Maintenance.
The following opinions as to main
tenance cost represent the results of
careful analyses of state highway re-
ports, as well as much first-hand in
formation gathered by the depart.
ment's specialists:
Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years of
farm traffic without showing marked
deterioration, even when there has
been no maintenance. Such roads
sometimes actually improve during
the second season; more frequently,
however, they show ruts or chuck
holes. 1t cannot be expected that the
average life of a gravel surface will
be greater than that of macadam
surface, which in the New England
and eastern states is between six and
seven years. If sum equal to two
thirds of the original cost Of the
gravel surface itself is provided for
renewals at six-year intervals, il
should be estimated at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per mile per year. If $50 is then
allowed for annual dragging and small
repairs, the total annual cost of re
pair and maintenance for gravel roads
would be from $3.50 to $3.50 per mile
The annual cost of maintenance alone
is sometimes below $50 In Ben
nington county, VT, during 1912, lie
miles of gravel roads were maintained
at cost of 5000 per mile. The an
nual cost of maintenance and repair
on sand-clay roads, including all nee
essary resurfacing at periodic inter
walls, should not be fixed at less than
10 per cent of the original cost.
What Figures Show.
The cost of repair and maintenance
for water-bound macadam roads has
been determined with considerable ex
actness from Massachusetts figures
and checked by resurfacing charges in
other states and in Germany. Prior
to 1913, from 800 to 1925 per year

Kidney Medicine That

to give entire satisfaction in every instance

are always favorable.

was William BeaEtie, called the
richest ,coachman in the world
who has seen nearly twenty-five
years service in the Moore house.
Beattie stood apaI. from the thrOng

his eyes upon the ,Casket until the

Beattie had worked for Moore for
some years EwhCn ore day the employ

adverse circumstances as a result OF
his Diamond Match : operations.
"Beattie came tO5 me-" Mr.. Moore
used TO say, ''he had drawn out every

said, I got it FROM you and you're
welcome toSkeep itSas long as you

Mr.. Moores accepted the sum to tide
him over some minor transactions
which brought him great profits and
reeStablished his credit. Then came

Moore never forgot. He paid back
the $4,000 many times over and placed
Beattie in the way of investments that
netted him more than $150,O0O.
