The Mother-Judge.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


One of the favorite objections to
equal suffrage in the communities
which do not have it is that if the
women vote they will also be eligible
to juries and judgeships.

position of judge" says woman

her tone Women haven't the judi

and they've never developed it,

of two energetic youngsters, 1 thought
of this argument.

The little girl doubtless imbued
with the spirit of the age) wanted to
try the boys velocipede. We pro-
posed a swap, but the boy didn't care
for her tricycle.. (Another example
of the spirit, not of the age. but of
all ages-who ever knew a boy who
wanted to be a girl?)
The dispute which arose was re
ferred to their mother. 1t seemed
simple to say, TT would be kind of

SAVING IN ROCK ROADS,

SAVING In ROCK ROADS.
In view of the fact that an addi-
tona1 system of rock roads is being
planned in this county, a few Stats
tics showing the saving of public
highways of this kind over a system
of dirt roads is pertinent. There
is absolutely no objection to rock
roads, but some complain because of
the cost of them, maintaining that the
amount of money expended is not Off
set by the benefit derived. There is
none who doubt the sincerity of those
who are against the rock road system
but in determining the question from
the standpoint of investment. many
do not take into consideration all of
the benefit that is derived. One feat
ure that is lost sight of is the saving
in the annual expense of the profits
derived from having a good road 365
days in the year. There is just as
much economy and business judgment
in building a frame house with the
timbers on the ground without a
foundation as to build a road of dirt
and expect any permanent results. A
dirt road is a temporary road. last
ing year; rock road is one that viii
last for many years without the ex-
penditure of a cent. Carefully COM
piled records have been found to bear
out the statement that where 100 rigs
pass over a road daily, and it is COM
puted that ten are loads and ninety
are light, or passenger vehicles. the
saving over poor dirt road by inn
proved roads is $3.50 a year for a well
graded dirt road; S1.075 for a gravel
road; $500 for a rock road and So
200 for a concrete road. If fewer We
hicles pass over the road the benefits
would be proportionately less. These
are government statistics and to arrive
at the saving it is necessary to take
into consideration every possible saw
ing, such as expense for maintenance.
the saving on the wear and tear of
the vehicle, the harness, the saving in
time, etc. This does not sound plaus-
ible to those who have given the sub
ject less consideration, yet statistics
bear out the statement.-Fort Scott

these studies and as a result of the
interest aroused, the typhoid fever
rate, an excellent indicator of the san
itary status of community, has, in
some places frequently been cut to
one-quarter of its previous figure. In
Berkeley county. West Virginia, the
cases of typhoid fever were reduced
from 249 to 40 in one year In Orange
county, North Carolina, the rural SAN
itation campaign resulted in a reduc-
ton of the cases from SO to II. The
tangible results of operations in rural
sanitation indicate that marked adj
vancement in maintaining hygientc
and satisfactory surroundings in
country districts is possible by the
application of the common principles
of preventive medicine. Insanitary
conditions exist largely because they
are not known to be such. Actual
demonstrations OF their harmfulness,
together with definite recommends
tions for their correction, remain one
of the most gratifying and successful
methods for instituting reforms and
has been, in the experience of the
public health service, invariably ac-
companied by definite and measur-
able results

RURAL TYPHOID REDUCED.

Reduction in typhoid fever and i'm
provement in sanitary conditions have
followed the intensive investigations
of rural communities carried on by
the United States public health SER
vice in cooperation with local and
state health officers. according to the
annual report of the surgeon general
of that service. During the past fis-
cal year 1860 rural homes in eight
different states were visited and many
of them revisited. In each of these
homes information was obtained as to
the prevalence of disease and insani-
tary conditions and a complete sani-
tary survey of the premises conducted.
This was followed by reinspections to
determine If remedial measures had
been instituted. In but a relatively
small percentage of the cases did the
persons concerned, after having their
attention drawn to the danger of a
particular unhygienic condition, fail
to inaugurate corrective measures.
Stimulus was given to the work by
means of public lectures. the forma-
ton of active sanitary organizations.
and the enlisting of all public spirited
citizens In the campaigns for reform.
Public buildings were also inspected
and local authorities given expert adj
vice in solving such sanitary prob
lens as the disposal of excreta, the
prevention of soil pollution, and the
maintenance of pure water supplies.
The surveys made during the year
1914 had shown that in rural COM
munities less than one per cent of the
| homes had sanitary toilets and that
more than fifty per cent of the people
were using water zrom polluted
sources. This condition. according to
the public health service, made the
rural sanitation question loom large
among the matters vitality affecting
the welfare of the nation. Following
