Thin Folks Who

Increase In Weight Ten Pounds
or More.

"Id certainly give most anything to be
able to fat up a few pounds and stay that
way" declares every excessively thin man
or woman. Such a result is not impossible.
despite past failures. Most thin people are
victims Of mal.nutrition, condition which
prevents the fatty elements Of food from
being taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers Of nutrition are normal
Instead of getting into the blood much Of
the fat and flesh producing elements stay in
the intesiines until they pass from the body
as waste.
To correct this condition and 10 produce
q healthy, normal amount Of fat, the nutri-
tive processes must be nrtifcially supplied
with the power which nature has denied them.
This probably best be accomplished by
eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar.

make from which he is so sure to re-
ceive generous dividends as from good
roads.
A reduction in the cost Of hauling
Is one of the most immediate benefits
Of a good road. A striking instance
of this is shown by investigations
conducted in Virginia where the av-
erage distance from the farm to the
market is 7-S.10 miles, and the aver
age load for the staple crops is about
one ton. Assuming that the wages OF
q tvo-horse team and driver are $500
per day, it costs the farmer in Vir-
ginia an average of 26 cents per ton
mile to market his crops. If the roads
we're graded and improved with sur
facing suitable for the particular road
and region, the load could be in
creased at least 80 per cert and the
round trip made in the same or less
time without any additional hardship
on the team. This would represent
a clear saving of $15G per day to each
farmer in the state for every day in
the year in which he was engaged III
hauang to or from the market.
TE.n f-.crease in land values is an
other benefit that is noticeable wher'
ever road Improvement takes place.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1916-05-10

This is due partly to the decreased
cost Of hauling and partly to the fact
that good road makes the farm a
more desirable place to live.
Moreover, improved roads have a
market effect on both the amount and
character of production. For exam.
Pile, around the typical small town.
when the roads are not improved,
truck gardening, dairying and other
forms of intensive farming are con-
fined to a small zone, Immediately
surrounding the town, which is usu-
ally scarcely sufficient to supply the
local demand. Without good roads
the production of perishable goods at
any considerable distance from mar
ket or shipping point is too hazard
Gus an undertaking to be profitable
With good roads the produce can be
brought to market with regularity and
in prime condition, two essentials in
successful marketing.
The parcel post makes possible dl'
rect marketing between producer and
consumer regardless Of distance. But
here again the public roads play no
sr,all part, affecting not only possible
extensions of the system, but also the
cost of it's operation.
The condition of our rural schools
is closely connected with the coEai'
ton of the public roads. While it is
true that various factors contribute
to increase or decrease the attendance
at schools in given sections Of the
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1916-05-10

It is estimated that the people Of
this country annually waste S250,C0O,-
600 because of bad roads. Investiga-
tions have shown that the average
cost of haulip on roads in the United
States is % cents per ton per mile.
It costs the farmer mere to haul a
bushel Of wheat 9.4 miles, the average
distance from farm to shipping point,
than it ordinarily costs to ship it
from New York to Liverpool. In
France, England and Germany, consul
lar reports show instances where the
cost Of hauling agricultural products
is as low as 10 cents per ton per
mile. If the farmers Of this country
could reduce the cost Of hauling to Is
cents per ton mile, they would save
about S25O,CO0,OOO which now repre-.
sents their mud tax"
The benefits of good roads are nu-
merous and far-reaching. They are a
powerful factor il promoting better
farm conditions throughout the coun-
try. They MAKE the farmer more in
dependent Of seasonal and weather
conditions and permit Elm to take bet
ter advantage CT favorable market and
prices. They increase the value Of his
farm and so enhance his material
wealth. They promote better agricul-
tural methods and ara necessary fer
an efficient rural delivery and parcel
post. They have a profound effect on
our country schools and the home life
on the farm. There are indeed few

country, it is a well-known fact thai
in our rural schools the attendance
almost invariably shows marked de.
crease during the periods when the
roads are bad. Another point worthy
of consideration is that the one-room
school is being supplanted by larger
consolidated schools throughout those
portions of the country where condi-
tions make it practicable to convey
children to school at the public eX.
pense. Roads passable at all times
are most necessary for successful
school consolidation. There is abun.
dant evidence to prove that any eX-
tensiye road Improvement is followed
by letter schools and better school
attendance. In some of these schools,
advanced courses have been intro.
duced, and it has been possible to
employ teachers having special quail.
tications and training.
With good roads, some of the ad.
vantages CT the city can be brought
to the country. Social gatherings be,

social conditions exert decided ef.

Have a Farm Cleanup Day.

All over the South during April
and May many cities and towns are
having cleanup days, when all lit
ter and trash are disposed of and
the premises, front and back, are
made presentable. The idea is a
good one, and we see no reason
why It's application should BE con-
fined TO lLe luwus. We've seen
several farms that wouldn't suffer
at all from being "lidied' up a
little.
As a matter of fact, we can see
no reason why man should persist in
making ugly what God has made
beautiful. Trees and green grass
are lovely; add to them sprawllng
woodpile, and a broken-down wag-
on, harrow that ought to be in an
implement shed, few rails, some
tin cans, plus collection of mis-
cellaneous odds aud ends, and the
front lawn ceases TO be slightly, and
becomes merely "a sight,
These things are easily remedied,
and there is no better time than
right now to tackle the job. We
insist that the view from the front,
at least, to the roadway, is for
mother and the girls-theirs to
make pretty, rather than to be the
farm dumping ground for every
thing that is useless and unsightly.
Put the woodpile in the rear, near
the kitchen, where it belongs; fix
that broken-down wagon or sell 1t
for junk; clean up the trash and
litter, and burn what can't be put
to some better use. Get it away
from the front, at any rate. and
then plant grass and flowers.
The change wrought will oe won
derful, and will afford new pride
in an old farm. Moreover, let's
not forget the splendid object les
son that neatness affords for the
farm boy and girl. Our observa-
ton has been that slovenliness IN
one thing usually means slovenll-
ness in another: The man whose
lawn is Uttered with all sorts of
junk usually has poorly kept farm,
and his mental processes and ideas
are often little less scattered and
disjointed. Neatness and a place
for everything are examples that
every child should have before 1t,
and well kept farm is one of the
best ways of furnishing such exams

Freight Accidents Decrease.

The use of the huge new locomo-

against which the Brotherhoods of

enormous increase in wages, protest
so vigorously, seems to have resulted
in rapid decrease in accidents to
railroad employees, and decided in
crease in their safety, The number
of railway employees killed in SER

452 in 1914, and the number of In
