weak link in a chain, a weak organ en-
enfeebles the whole body. Overwork-
ed, weak or disordered kidneys lower

writes: 81 suffered with pains in the

Stocks


Stocks pursued contrary course
during the active periods of tho mar
kct industrials evincing a stronger
tone, while rails, few representative
issues excepted, dropped to lower lev
els.
Improvement in the industrial di-
vision was commonly ascribed TO the
Senate's rejection o! tho drastic war tax
measure The further weakness Of sec
ondary rails was again traceablc to
recognized conditions, chiefly of a
financial character.
New York Central registered the new
minimum Of 74a. and New Haven fell
gradually TO the low record Of 25A
while St Paul made its minimum price
OF many years at 62h Union Pacific

regular, opening at an extreme gain Of

we're IN fair demand at extreme gains

surrendered, Crucible steel, however,
making net advance Of 2ls points.
Coppers were temporarily stimulated
by reports Of home and foreign govern

issues strengthened in sympathy. These

PATROLMEN TO REPAIR ROADS
To Keep Recently Constructed High ways in New Hampshire in Condi-
 ton Many Men Are Employed.

Within the last ten years 442 miles New Hampshire at an average cost of $3, ,S26 per mile. It is clear that auto travel would ruin them in q short time if they were not maintained in good condition all the time. To meet this necessity several hundred patrol March to the first of December in patching every little run and hole that appears, in cleaning the ditelies and culverts and in spreading oil lightly over the surface. Each patrolman has section of road assigned to him and is required to furnish one-horse wagon, a shovel. a rake, drag and such other equipment as is needed for his work. If the road is not oiled it is smoothed with the drag after every rain; oiled roads do not require ire quent dragging. The patrolmen are paid an average wage of $3.25 the day. In 1915 the total cost of main taining these roads was $240 the mile. The road officers of New Hampshire reckon that well-maintained gravel roads cost about $250 the mile an- nually less than any of the more ex- pensive types of road for the class of travel on four-ffths of the through routes in the state. On one-fifth of these routes the travel is too heavy to be carried by gravel and more expen- sive construction is necessary; no amount of maintenance of gravel road will make it strong enough to carry more than q certain density of travel, particularly where automobiles are numerous.

BUILD ROADS ON WAR FRONT
Highest Types of Surfaces for Moving Supplies.

With the arrival of the Balfour mis- sion late information has been obtain ed regarding road bui ding methods followed in the war regions of France and Belgium.
 English military engineers have re- gently made experiments demonstrate ing that it is possible and desirable to build the highest type of road sur faces for the temporary 6r emergency movement of artillery and supplies. Roads built with asphalt sent over from England have recently been con structed in the rear of the French-Bcl- gium front. Roads so improved gave far better service than any type here tofore attempted under the swift and heavy movements necessitated by the artillery action which precedes infan- try attacks. It was observed that mo- tor trucks and gun carriages suffered no injury in movement over these hastily constructed asphalt pavements, while frequent breakdowns were ex- perienced when road building was not attempted.
 These experiments being done, mission including officers of the Brit ish and French engineer corps looked over the payements in the environs of Paris built in the last three or four years. Among other roads inspected early in this month was the Trini- dad asphalt pavement laid on the road to Versailles which has been carrying military traffic ever since the war be- gan. As result of these experiments and investigations it has been decid ed, wherever possible. to construct sim liar surfaces for the movement of mili- have been destroyed or where they may be made necessary by battle plans
