Stop The Cold
And Avoid Grip
Coughs and Colds Should Not BE
Neglected.

Ncsltcttus
The lack of resisting power That
precedes all kinds of ill-health causes
coughs and colds. The theory OF some
people to "let a cold run its course
should be supplanted by the safe rule
to never neglect a cold because II
is from coughs and colds that grippe
pneumonia and other serious ailments
usual develop. So it behooves all VINO
are prone to take cold to find a
remedy to forestall it. In this con-
nection Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
will prove one of the most effective
remedies you have ever tried, If taken
in tablespoon doses in equal amounts
of water or milk before meals and on
retiring. Because Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is an absolutely pure tonic
stimulant, it assists in building up
the weakened and run down system
by its beneficial action on the stom-
ach. the source of most ills. If the
system is in E, healthy condition it is
invariably able to resist and throw
off coughs. colds. grippe and bron-
chitis prevalent at this season. Re-
member. do not neglect a cold. but

and leadership in singing aided his work
as an evangelist, but it was the effect
of Sankey's leadership upon the vast

Mr. Moody
An incident occurred at East North
field, Mass, where Mr.. Moody establish
ed the institutions with which his name
is now identified, which not only re-
vealed Mr. Moody's ignorance of music,
but also his wonderful power Of persnld-
ing people to act and to think as he
wanted them to.
There was to be a celebration Of some
kind at East Northfeld and ono feature
Of the ceremony was the singing by the
students at the institution and others, Of
certain songs and musical arrangements
for which Adoniram, Judson Phillips
who was the musical instructor, was re-
hearsing so that the music could be
effectively and perfectly sung.
Mr.. Moody sat in one OF the froni
seats trying to listen to the music and
clearly understanding when the singers
were keeping excellent time. For Mr.
Moody's appreciation of time was as
strong as his understanding OF music
was weak

 There are heard assurances from Democratic leaders that Wilson has 'cinched' the labor vote. Mir. Gompers in his ready made statement, called upon union labor to support Mir. VII son. The average union man does hts own thinking, and the mere suggestion of a delivery of his vote to any man or party by any head or committee will not set well.
 Then the two million union labor membership is but a small fraction of the great body of labor which will be called upon to help make up the in crease ordered by this law"

THE GREATEST ROAD PROBLEM

(By b. II. Piepmeir, Maintenance
Engineer, Illinois Highway Depart
mentD
The greatest road problem, particu-
larly that of the township or road
district, is TO construct and maintain
properly the existing earth roads.
About 80 per cen OF the roads I'm
Illinois are earth and will probably
remain such for many years. In view
Of the tremendous amount OF earth
road work TO be done and OF money
to be spent for 1t, every effort should
be directed along lines leading TO the
best results. II the grades, cross
section and drainage OF earth roads
are properly established, they will not
need alteration when the roadways
are porvided with a more durable
wearing surface at a later date. For
this a a large part OF the work
done on a good earth road 10 perman-
ent, and is just as important as more
expensive methods OF construction.
The greatest mistake in most town
ship road construction today is that
the money is spread annually over
all the roads In the township. Very
roads receive enough time and

NET INCOME or RAILROADS
FOR YEAR MORE THAN BILLION

More than 81 900, 000, 900 net income
from operations was made by the rail-
roads OF the country during the year
now closing. The huge total IN the
peak OF prosperity In railroad opera
tons, and stands more than one-third
higher than the total OF 1913, hereto
fore the banner year.
Statistics gathered by the Interstate
commerce commission, complete for
nine months, establishing the basis for
calculation for the entire year, Indi-
cate that the total net income from
operations will be approximately ST.
098. 900, 900. For the first nine months
OF the year complete returns show
$7S5. 55S, 266. Even this does not rep
resent the full amount, as reads whose
income Is less than 81 1000, 900 are not
included. n
The estimate. s1,09s, 100000, is re-
garded by officials as conservative. II
makes no allowance for normal in
crease In business during the last
three months OF the y~ear-returns for
which are unayailable--but places the
income for October, November and
december at the same figures as for
July, August and September. There
liz no question, officials say, but that
there will be an increase; the only
doubt is as to It's size.
Analysis OF the returns for the first
nine months shows a startling in
crease from January to September.
amounting TO more than 81 per cent.
Thus, net income in January. s64.915.-
2ss. had mounted to s107, 91O,8l4 In

money to be put In first class condi-
ton. Most of the money is spent In
an endeavor TO maintain earth roads
that are not in a suitable condition for
maintenance. Many earth roads are
worse after improper working than
they were before 1t. for q large part
of the best soil In them IL exposed 30
that the first heavy rains wash II away.
Most townships have sufficient funds
to maintain their earth roads by drag
ging and oiling after they have been
put in proper condition for effective
maintenance. The most economic
work that can be undertaken by such
townships Is to finance some scheme
for grading and draining its earth
roads and constructing permanent Gull
verts and bridges.
The main work to be done TO obtain
efficient earth roads is to drain them
well and then to maintain them. There
Is no Dad material so easily affected
by improper drainage as earth. When
dry, 1t Will carry the heaviest loads
imposed by traffic, but when thor
oughly saturated with water IL will
not support the lightest load. Hence
II is necessary to utilize all methods
of keeping the earth road dry. This
can best be done by draining away
the underground water and prevent
ing surface water from standing on
the road.
All surface water Is removed by Civ
ing to the road grades and cross sec
tons which will afford the necessary
outlet to the natural water courses.
The grade line should provide for cut
ting down the hills and filing the hol-
lows, so there will be a roadbed which
Will not require change for further
improvement. Special attention should
be paid to providing side bitches which
will remove all surface water rapidly.
Side bitches on long, steep grades
should be protected against serious
erosion by riprap, transverse timbers
or other Culyerts and bridges
should be OF ample size and be built
as permanent structures. Drain tile
should be laid to carry Off under
ground water. Side bitches which are
kept clean and have sufficient slope
TO Lead the water away are usually
preferable to tile drainage, but the
latter is necessary In some places.
Good earth roads can be construct
ed. at a very low cost; however, they
require constant maintenance, which
may be expensive where the travel
Ii heavy. A we'll built and properly
maintained earth road will serve some
sections as we'll "a the most expensive
types OF hard surfaced roads will serve
other sections. Where this fact is re-
allied more attention will be paid to
earth roads and the money spent on
them will not be regarded as lost. II
is neglect which makes earth roads
