ANOTHER EXPERIMENT TRIED

AlNOlT1EN ENT ET\lIFlLlN1 1I\1ED
The business places along Oak
street, between Second and Third
were treated yesterday to an almost
continuous shower of rock dust as a
result of the efforts made to nullify
the sickness of the melting tar on
the pavement. The gentle zephyrs,
that could hardly be excluded by clos
ing doors and windows on such hot
day, carried the fine particles into the
various stores and offices, and into the
noses and threats of the pedestrians
who CHANGED along. The sprinkling
wagon, which might have been used
as another experiment to try and rem
edy the trouble, was not, in evidence.
AS one sufferer expressed it, you could
keep your feet out of the tar, but you
couldn't keep the rock dust out Of
your nostrils. Early this morning the
street was well sprinkled with water,
which kept down the dust.

WILL PROBABLY VOTE AT

Some over-anxious persons are al
ready worrying over the possibility
that the soldier boys down on the
Rio Grande will lose their votes next
November. Of course there is no
danger of such an eventuality. If
the army is on the border at election
time a way will be devised just as
in the civil war. But the probabili-
ty that the state militia will be held
on the border until election time is
so remote that the subject is scarce
ly worth discussing except as it may
involve the regular army soldiers

really isn't safety first. Long before
either continent used steel cars, rail-
road accidents in Europe were only a
fraction of the number in this coun-
try, and fatalities were rare. There
was just one reason for this; a higher
premium was put on absolute safety
and fewer chances with death were
taken. The travelling public was will
ling to wait for speed until it was
speed with assured safety; they par
doned delays more frequent and seri-
Gus than Americans were asked to
excuse, because they understood that
delays were often the price of safety.
We have progressed just little to-
ward this idea, too. One cannot go
from Chicago to New York in so short
time as he could few years ago.
We are waiting until safety catches
up with locomotive progress. But in
general when there is a cry flor safe
ty, we begin to ask about improved
signal systems and steel cars and
things mechanical. We are yet to
insist on safety at the cost of every
element that interferes. We still put
speed first.

CANCERS DURABLE STAGE


The dread of cancer causes an un-
told amount of mental distress. With
or without reason, few women escape
the fear at some time in their lives,
says the Madison Journal.
Lately, physicians have attempted
to quiet this worry by spreading GER
tain exact information concerning the
durable stage Of cancer.
In it's beginning, cancer is local
disease Cutting out the tiny tumor,
lump, hard spot, or abnormal growth,
when it appears on the exterior Of the
body, is simple surgical problem,
and it cures in eighty per cent Of
breat cancers, ninety-five of lip, and
eighty per cent of tongue cases. &C.
cording to the American Society for
the Control of Cancer.
But an operation cannot cure a
blood disease. and that is what neg
lected cancer soon becomes The
original seat of the cancer can be cut
out-but once the cancer cell gets in
to the blood it circulates through the
body, breaks down sound tissue, and
produces any number of abnormal
growths.
1t is a popularity of women that
when they think they have cancer
symptoms, they usually conceal their
thoughts. If their fear proves true,
they endure their mental agony in
silence until finally physical suffering
forces them to talk to the family doc
tor. Then it is too late.
1t is just this kind of secretiveness
and unnecessary martyrdom which
the physicians and surgeons are now
endeavoring to combat, for it is con-
cealment in the first stages which
makes so many cases of the disease
incurable.
Health is the priceless asset in life.
No one with health would sell it for
millions. There is no one without
health but who would give up the very
last dollar to get health.
If you are in doubt as to your state
of health consult a good physician.
That is what doctors are for. And
the ablest doctors will always frankly
admit that they are much more sue
cessful in a fight to prevent than in a
fight to cure.

A TIP TO WISCONSIN

The Wisconsin highway commission
could do a great deal to increase the
ease of touring in Wisconsin by fol-
lowing the example of the highway
commissions in New England states
and designating main routes for auto
mobile travel by banding telephone
poles and bridges with certain colors,
so that at any crossroad the approach
ing motorist would be guided by a
vista of col0red bands which should
make known the route he desires to
follow. To 1ong-distance tourists, such
signs are invaluable because they do
away with porting over maps and
route books, and for short trips also
the system is q convenience of the
first Importance.
Contrast this efficient system with
the hit-Or-miss methods Of marking
routes in Wisconsin. Here, no one
takes the responsibility for seeing
that they are properly designated. In
some towns enterprising garage men
or hotel keepers see to the marking
Of routes, but there is no definite, es-

LARGE STOCK OF GERMAN
GOODS

It has been suspected for some time
that Germany has been piling up a
vast stock of goods for export pur.
poses, as soon as the war ends or the
blockade is lifted. The story was
credible, even when there was little
tangible evidence to bolster it, for it
would be in keeping with German
foresight and efficiency. But now it
has been proved to be more than a
plausible theory. Scandinavians have
been making an investigation. One
Swedish account estimates that there
is on hand stock of $1,250,O00,O00
worth of cheap goods, made since the
war began. M. Nilsson, Danish in
dustrial expert, quoted by the Stock
holm correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post, says this estimate is an
immense supply has been stored and
that it is being added to by the army
of laborers, women, children and old
men drafted to take the place of work
men called to the colors
M. Nilsson says that German indus
tries were restricted to the production
of war supplies for only little while.
! The great mass of new Iaborers are
working, under efficiency experts, in
the production of articles for future
export. This may be readily believed,
when we consider the amount of Brit
ish exports the last year There have
been reasons for greater surplus of
products in Germany than in Great
Stunning little. The British workmen,
with their unusually high wages and
their access to world markets, are liv-
ing on scale unheard of before the
war But the German government is
controlling the food and expenditures
of the entire population. 1t is pre-
dicted that, with slight notifications,
the system will be continued for a
time after the war, in order that the
war debt may be paid as soon as pos
sible, The best way to pay it is by
rigid economy in living and by utiliza-
ton of the new labor and that of the
returned soldiers in producing exports
at prices cheap enough to beat down
the barriers of prejudice and make
normal tariffs Intellectual.
Sweden, Norway and Denmark are
filled with apprehension, and the
Stockholm Dagblad lays that even the
Bohemian and Viennese manufactur-
ers are alarmed. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to suggest that the incompar-
ably rich market of the United States
will be one of the chief detectives Of
this export plan, says the ST. Louis
