STRANGE SIGNS ON SHIPS
Have Little Meaning TO the Unlnitiat
ed, But Are Plainly Understood
by Sailors.

Strange signs frequently hang from
ships which puzzle even jewellers in
seaport towns to guess the meaning
of. A basket slung from the main
mast head is a sailors sign to notify
that the cargo has been loaded or dis
charged, as the case may be, and that
the ship is ready to start on her next
trip. This she cannot do until the
usual board OF trade formelities have
been observed, and the ships papers
which, while a ship is in port. are de-
posted with the board of trade, have
been returned to the captain.
A generally mysterious emblem is q
bosom dashed to a mainmast or bridge
railing. This is to signify that the yes
sci is for sale.
Occasionally a dark blue stripe may
be seen running fore and aft on yes
sell; as matter Of fact. this is a sign
Of recent bereavement. Blue is the
sailors mourning, and the stripe OF
this color takes the place of the black
margin or band used by the landsmer
as a notification of death.

the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money 1t is, of
course, especially important to avoid
this error. On the other band, how
ever, II is not necessary to regard the
total cost of surfacing a road as a
temporary Improvement. Much Of the
surfacing may be classed as a perma.
nent investment, for II is becoming
more and more common to have sur
faces built in two courses, the lower
OF which is as much permanent fea-
ture Of construction as the grading
itself. This is particularly true of
those types of road that are built with
concrete foundations for bituminous
macadam, brick or asphalt surfaces.
1t is probably conservative to regard
40 per cent OF the first-construction
cost OF macadam or more enduring
pavements as permanent investment.
1t Is seldom nowadays that hard roads
are permitted to wear into the founda.
ton course of the surfacing.
Where proper maintenance is as
sured 1t Is safe to say that an average

GOOD FEED FOR BEEF CATTLE

factors in the future in reducing the

within the last few years that silage

At the Indiana station an expert
ment including a ration OF sixteen
pounds OF shelled corn, three pounds
OF cotton-seed meal and thirty pounds

also with a third ration containing
ten pounds of clover but no silage.

OF about 81 per cent Of the total cost
of well-built macadam road may be
considered as spent for permanent fea
lures, and with bituminous macadam
roads. about Sc per cent. This method
of estimating cannot be applied to any
gravel or natural soil road in which
no part OF the surfacing can advanta-
geously be considered permanent, for
under most systems of maintenance 1t
steadily deteriorates.
Roads built with surfaces entirely
of concrete, or with brick pavements
resting on concrete foundation. are
sometimes regarded as permanent, but
this Is hardly safe. II is not yet def
nitely known how long the best con-
crete surface will last. The best vitri-
fed brick surfaces may last q number
OF years, but even with them repairs
will be required.
It should be borne In mind by those
charged with the expenditure of high
way funds that the initial cost of q
road is never the final one; that no
surface is permanent, and that repairs

In expanding money raised by the

ey on transitory improvements such

siderable expense, be renewed from

manifestly poor policy to build an ex-
pensive surface on defective grades
with poor alignments and short-lived
drainage features.
Even when much of the money ex-
pended upon a highway has gone into
the permanent features, there is still
danger that the cost of repairs and

Sudden Death
Caused By Disease of the Kidney.

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension Is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease OF brain
or lungs.
II is good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package OF "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
