DOES IT PAY
TO BE SICK?

I ict's forget about an the d'sagrceablc
and painful part of sickness, and ask our
selves II it PAYS to be sick
Perhaps ysi are only HALE sick
maybe you are dragging yourself around,
I with a dead tired feeling. Perhaps you
wake up in the morning with a heavily
coated tongue, bad taste in your mouth.
and hardly any appetite. Quite tkelv
you are bilious. Maybe YOU have dull
aches and pains, CONSTIPATION, head
aches.
You go about your daily duties. You
tell yourself YOU will feel better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes YOU feel lust
about the same. You try this and that
remedy, without getting real relief. Or
u you get some relief it doesn't IASTl
You soon feel just as bad as YOU did before.
DOES IT PAY TO let yourself stay in
this half-sick condition? Think OF ali the
ENJOYMENT of lie you are missing,
You can't enjoy your food, or the society
OF your family and friends. You can't
eni"v anything as YOU should, because

Concrete Roads Are the Chea pest.

Concrete roads built in the United
States during 1914 cost on the average
$11,921 mile of sixteen foot width.
One hundred and forty-four concrete
roads built during the twenty years
previous to 1914 cost $12,766 a mile Of
sixteen foot width. Most concrete
roads are sixteen feet wide Upkeep
and repair charges have been less than
$25 year for a concrete road built in
Bellefontaine. o.. more than twenty
years ago. The yearly maintenance of
the fifty-one miles of concrete roads In
Wayne county. Mich. costs $2S.42
mile. 1t costs $13.02 year to keep up
a concrete road at Spencer, Mass. Con.
crete roads are not affected by the
weather, traffic or mud or trash tracked
upon them, as In the case with some
improved roads. Freezing and thaw-
ing have no effect on them II properly

them nor cold make them brittle. Con-
crete increases in strength with age.
Wayne county, Mich. has the most re-
markable system of concrete roads in
the United States. This system was
begun seven years ago. The value Of
the abutting farm land has been dou-
bled I'm some instances, and all land
has increased In value because of con.

Both French and German are the
"official" languages of Switzerland.
Public signs, such as those of rail
roads, are printed in both languages.
italian is also spoken in those parts of
Switzerland which are closest to Italy.
AS matter of fact, the country is,
however. quite definitely divided rs to

BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
An Ancient Legend That Every One
Should Know by Heart.

OHOulu tNHOw ny
There is an ancient Legend of a man
who faced the great day of final rcck-
oning. He had lived rs well perhaps
as most of us while here below. At
the earth. His record was unfolded.
The face of the Judge seemed to him
to grow cloudcd as he traced its story.
The record was pushed aside. The
eyes Of the Judge were lifted until
they rested upon the man. The lips
were parted rs if the sentence was
about To fall.
Suddenly from every quarter there
gathered shining host Of forms which
pressed about the judgment seat. They
appeared to be in conference with the
Judge. 1t looked as though with eager
faces they were urging certain claims.
Then they vanished from sight as mys-
tcriously rs they came. The Judge
smiled. turned to messenger clad in
radiant robes of Office and babe him
conduct the man whose case he had
Just considered into the realms of the
blessed.
As they moved away the man said to
his guide. Tell me. who We're those
who lust now stood In numbers about
the Judge and held converse with
him?"
Those" replied the conductor, were
friends who saved you. They were the
deeds of kindness and of unSellish
service you scattered far and wide
while you lived on earth" - Detroit

An article in the American City has
this to say about the Columbia River
highway:
The Cascade mountains in western
Oregon have hitherto constituted an
almost insuperable obstacle In the prop
er development of the state. While the
faith of the Oregonians was not strong
enough perhaps to remove those noun
tains, II was sufficient to conceive and
carry through the construction Of
highway over them in II section rcquir-
ing extremely difficult ana sliillful en-
cheering. Thus the magnitude of the
obstacle has been considerably reduced
for the inhabitants of northwestern
Oregon and southwestern Washington.
Despite the mountainous barrier, Ore
gon has grown rapidly. \ real demand
had arisen for II roadway which would
make the SO called inland empire-that
vast territory east of the Cascade range
accessible by wagon or automobile to
the people living in the region of Puget
sound as well as those living over in
the Willamette valley and in the lower
Columbia basin. 1t is now possible for
the first time In history to drive II wag-
on from the wheatiields of eastern
Oregon through the Cascade range to
the sea.
The Columbia River highway skirts
the Columbia river from Astoria, near
its mouth, running through Portland
and extending to Hood River, small
town about 100 miles down the stream.
All steep and dangerous grades are
eliminated. The new construction is Of
the highest type, and the tunnel In the
face of the cliff at Mitchell Point, with
the concrete viaduct approaches, is con-
sidered one Of the most wonderful
pieces Of highway construction in ex-
istence. 1t is said to be equal to the
famous Axenstrasse of Switzerland
