LITTLE TALKS ON
HEALTH AND HYGIENE
BY Samuel G.. Dixon, VI. D., LII. D.,
Pennsylvania Commissioner
of Health.

When Adam first fell into the
water the human race took step
forward. Civilization and bath tubs
now so hand in hand.
Authorities may vary in discussing
the merits of the hot bath, the tepid
bath and the cold bath. but they all
agree in the abstract that bathing is
necessary to good health and a
prime promoter of self respect. The
removal from the skin of the accum-
ulation of refuse matter is the pri-
mary reason for the bath.
II is essential TO good health that
the skin be kept in proper condition
as il automatically regulates the
heat of the body. permitting it to
cool off when it becomes too warm
and keeping heat in when il becomes
too cold. 1t assists the lungs and
kidneys in the disposal of refuse
matter. When the skin sweats il
assists the kidneys. When not toe
heavily clothed il respires and helps
the lungs.
A bath should not be taken toe
near meal time. There is a normal
attraction OF the blood toward the
stomach after eating; any Interior.

MATERIALS FOR A cULvERT
" Good Building Stone Abounds In 10.
cality II Would Be Advisable to
Use This Substance.

CBy PAUL ID. SARGENT. United States
Department Of Public Roads)
Available material in the locality
where the work is being carried on
will generally determine the material
of which culverts will be constructed.
For example, If we are in a country
where good building stone abounds, it
would generally be advisable to use
this material for culverts.
II no stone is handy, but good gravel
may be secured, plain concrete, or re-
enforced concrete, may be found to be
the most economical material. In
some localities we shall have to resort
to the use of pipes. My experience
has been that while n good culvert
may be constructed by the use of Wit
rified tile, its use in most cases has
been q failure. This is due to lack of
proper care in laying the pipe.
All culverts, of whatever material,
should be carried to a good foundation.
Generally speaking, l would recon-
mend that the waterways of stone
culverts be paved, and that concrete
culverts be built with a concrete floor,
although this is not always necessary.
In any event the side walls should be
carried to a good, firm foundation, and
each end of the culvert should be pro-
vided with a cutoff wall carried below
the frost to prevent undermining by
the water.
Pipe culverts should be laid on a
good, firm foundation. If the natural
soil does not provide this, founda-
ton should be excavated from twelve
to fifteen inches below the bottom of
the pipe and crushed stone or gravel
should be placed in the excavation
and the culvert we'll bedded on this
foundation. A head wall should be
provided at each end of the pipe cul-
vert the same as for concrete or stone
culverts, to prevent the water from
getting under the culvert, or along the
side of it, and washing 1t out. Cast
iron water pipe and corrugated metal.
If of good, pure iron, will be found to
make satisfactory culverts where a
small opening is necessary.
All culverts should be laid on a
grade and, above all things, they
should be provided with a good out
let to take the water away from them.
Sometimes this will necessitate the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1916-06-27
ROAD BUILDERS ISSUE A MAP
Tentative Routes Of 100000 Miles o.
Articulated Highways in United
States Are Shown.

The National Highways association,
that body of enthusiastic lockers into
the future, has prepared a map show.
ing the tentative routes of 100000
miles of articulated highways which ii
thinks should network the United
States in an orderly manner.
This map is the expression Of one
Of the main ideas Of the association,
namely, that tTunklino roads are the
first requisite-through routes leading
from somewhere to somewhere, and
that the feeder roads must naturally
follow the development and improve
ment Of these main lines. The theory
is like that on which the great railroad
systems Of the country were built.
