Efficient FORCE is NEEDED
Roads Should Be Looked After at All
Seasons Of Year and Kept in
Constant Repair.

Under our present system Of county
pike maintenance, roads have been
receiving a quantity of crushed stone
on their most-traveled and wcrn-out
sections. This is usually applied
after a grading and scraping of the
surface to fill the ruts. This grad
ing is a ser1lannual affair. The first
grading is done in the early spring
just as the roads are thoroughly
thawed and beginning to dry after the
heaviest Of the winter freezes are
safely over. Previous to this grading
they often become long lines Of slushy
mud almost impossible to the heavier
loaded wagons. In such a condition
they are easily rutted and hard to
mend. 1t is the sort Of impermanent
roads that have given rise to the ap-
peal for a permanent hard surfaced
road not so easily affected by the
freeze and thaws. We find crushed
stone superior tc the older type of
gravel roads in many respects since
it holds its shape and body longer,
says Indiana Farmer. Yet crushed
stone roads and even surfaced macad-
ans and concrete or asphalt surfaced
roads need attention after the first

DON'T SWALLOW MILK FAST
Unless II Is Properly cheWed, cunds
Are Sure to Form In
the Stomach.

Milk, fresh from the bovine font
with It's rich store of vitamlnes and
engines, with the finest quality of pro-
tein for brain and muscle building,
salts to stiffen the bOny framework
and to brighten the vital fires of tile
body, is a natural product. Not only
is 1t not improved by the art Of cook
cry, but it is actually damaged by 1t
and rendered incapable of supplying
in the highest degree those subtle ele-
ments which are essential to good nu-
triton.
A word should be said about how to
take milk. 1t should be eaten, not
swallowed as a beverage, DR.. j. II.
Kellogg asserts in Good Health.
All foods need to be masticated. The
calf and the nursing infant chew milk.
The movements of the jaws and the
sucking movements executed by an in
FAINT in nursing induce an abundant
flow of saliva, which dilutes 1t, and to
high degree promotes its digestion.
Milk, when swallowed rapidly as a
beverage is likely to form in the
stomach large and hard curds, which
are very slowly digested. Many per-
sons who suffer from taking milk in
this way imagine themselves to be un-
able to take milk, and so abandon its
use.
Milk should be slipped slowly and
with a sucking movement of the
throat, so as to secure liberal admix-
ture of saliva. BY this means the for
nation of hard, indigestible curds may
be prevented.
Milk also must be taken in right
quantities and in right combinations.
1t cannot be denied that milk digests
better when taken by itself or in very
simple combinations than when mixed
with a large variety Of other food

JAPANESE WOMEN WORK HARD
Little Consideration Is Shown Even to
Aged in the Land Of the
Rising Sun.

It wasn't long before we landed be-
fore we saw the japanese woman, the
type that old Japan creates. She and
some others were having q bridge
party. Sounds inviting, but 1t wasn't.
About 20 of them were driving piles
for new bridge. The sun was scOrch-
ing, the timbers enormous, and the
man Overseer was abusing them. For
weren't they only women? Without
education and with old Japan's idea OF
women crushing them down, they
deemed themselves pretty fortunate to
have even such work and the princely
sum of ten cents day.
No, it isn't enough for old Japan
that the women should have a baby
every year. They must work, work like
men and animals. In NikkO we could
see from a distance long line OF
bowed figures climbing the steep bank
of the River Daiya, and on coming
nearer we saw that they were old, old
women, wrinkled and gray, carrying
barrels-not baskets, but barrels OF
stone from the riverbed to the road.
Such is the reverence for age in ia

SAVES indian VILLAGE
Uncle Sam Converts Settlement
Into National Monument.
Best Specimens Of Totem Poles and
haIda Architecture Found In
Abandoned Alaskan Town.

Uncle Sam has made a national mon
ument out of an old deserted Indian
village in Alaska. The "Old Kassan
National Monument" consists OF 81
acres within the Tongass national for
est and embraces the Haida Indian
village of Old Kassan, situated ON
Prince of Wales island in southeastern
Alaska.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about fifty Indian totem poles, five or
six of which are classed as exceed
ingly good specimens. In the desert
ed village there are also eight large
square buildings which were original
ly constructed according to the pecu-
liar plan of the Haida Indians, and
which, it is stated by those best quail
fed to know, represent the best speci-
mems of Haida architecture that now
exist. The largest of these buildings
is approximately 40 by 60 feet in size
and is made entirely of round and
carved timbers. There also remain
number of Indian graves with the typi-
cal small grave houses erected by the
Alaskan Indians.
"Kassan" is said to be the Indian
word which means "a pretty town" and
all reports agree that the village was
we'll named. The fact that the village
was occupied by the Indians for many
years explains the local name, "Old"
Kassan, by which it is widely known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into a state of dilapida-
ton and decay, and a certain amount
of vandalism by tourists and souvenir
hunters renders some form Of prOtec-
ton essential. An examination of the
area was made jointly by representa-
tives of the forest service and of the
interior department, and reports
strongly urging the establishment Of a
national monument were approved by
the secretaries of both departments.
The Smithsonian institution strongly
endorsed the proposition for the es-
tablishment of a national monument.
The new national monument will be
protected and administered by the for
est service, as is the case with all
monuments located within the national
forests.

MANY ALIEN STUDENTS HERE
Thousands of Young Men From All
Corners Of Globe Are Attending
American Universities.

Here in the United States, says
writer in the Nations Business, are
fully 1000 students from the republics
of Latin America; 1,50O from China,
1000 from Japan, 500 from the Phil
ippines and hundreds from Russia, the
near East and India. There are 275
at the University of Pennsylvania, 300
at Cornell, 400 at Columbia, 260 at
Michigan, 300 at Illinois, $50 at Wis
consin and 300 at California. At least
400 are enrolled in the various insti-
tutions in Chicago. They represent
wealthy and influential families and in
dustries. After three to six years of
study they will return to positions of
power in their home countries.
A majority Of the foreign students
are studying engineering, industrial
chemistry, banking, commerce and
business administration they are In
troduced to the latest inventions and
the most modern appliances used by
the mechanical and electrical engineer,
the chemist and banker. After four
to six years of experience with arti-
cles used in American business, ii
stands to reason that the foreign stu
dent will insist on the introduction and
use of articles which he has tested
and proved satisfactory. No such op-
portunity for the expansion of foreign
trade has heretofore been presented to
the North American business man. II
is good business, good ethics and good
diplomacy to win their friendship.

Broad Path or NarroW2

People are pretty much alike. The
man in the penitentiary and the man in
the pulpit are built in very like molds.
The chemist can find no distinguishing

Take the man out of the prison and
surround him with the environment of

nor the policeman on the beat could
tell one from the other.
AS a matter of fact, all men and all
women want to be good. Some accident
of body or of mind or of surroundings
may swerve them from the path of
righteousness, but deep down in their
hearts they would prefer to, do good
than to do evil.
Give child a sound mind in sound
body and that child will lead a right
life. Batter and bruise his mind or his
body and he loses responsibility for his
acts to a more or less degree. The
desire to do good is still there. The

Quoted on his own estate, he discov-
cred that pins, like human beings, go
their way and are resolved into dust.
Hairpins, which the experimenter OBJ
served for 154 days, disappeared at
the end of that period, having been
converted into a ferrous oxide, a
brownish rust, which was blown away
by the winds.
Bright pins took nearly 18 months
to disappear; polished steel needles,
nearly two years and a half; brass
pins had but little endurance. At the
end of 1S months, steel pens were near
ly gone, while their wooden holders
were still intact. Pencils suffered lit

at all seasons of the year and keep

MEASUREMENT OF ROAD WEAR
ingenious Machine Perfected to Show
Effects Of Different Loads at
Various Speeds.

A complex and highly ingenious ma
chine has been perfected which runs
over q sample of road surface at the
National Physical laboratory, shows
the wear caused by different
loads at different speeds and in vari-
GUS climatic conditions. In other
words, given a specimen of a new
surface, the machine will tell pretty
accurately what, say the Manchester
to-WilmslOw road, would be like in
a year if that surface were laid on it.
It seems a pity that so valuable a
wear-and-tear recording device can
not be applied to more than rOads.-

says, "the American manufacturer can

Mr.. Hale states that during the past
year the sales of this class of goods
from the United States have increased
rapidly in Argentina, and that it is
thought that much of the increased
trade will be retained after the war.
He finds that American hardware man
ufacturers are now reapjng their re-
ward for having buflt up in Argentina
an unsurpassed reputation for their
products. Germany and England have
OutsOld Americans to some extent in
this market in the past, but almost al
ways by introducing cheaper articles.
The normal imports of hardware into
Argentina are between five and six mil
lion dollars, the total for 1913 being
$5,771, ,145. OF this total Germany sup
piled $1,84S,S97 worth, England ST.

tendency has been especially notice

Up the Madeira.

However, as our destination Is in an

journey on our river boat.

river, the principal tributary of the
Amazon. Only three towns on the en-

Soap as an Antiseptic.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases in
modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment of conditions, not to medl-
al science but to increased use Of
soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is of the opinion that with
clean house and clean person no one
need have much fear of infection. A
writer in the New York Medical Rec
ord says: "Soap is now recognized to
re antiseptic and to be etticaciOus must
produce a lather. Bacteria rubbed
into soap or dropped on its surface are
incapable of MULTIPLICATION. The ty-
phoid bacillus is very sensitive to soap,
being killed by 5 per cent solution
In a short time. More than half the
total number will die In one minute.
The thorough use of pure potash
soap is not only mechanical method
of cleansing, but is an active factor In
cutting down germ life"
