IOWA MOST WEALTHY STATE
In Proportion to Her Population, Hawkeye Has Twice as Many
 Automobiles as New York.

Twenty years ago the horseless car riage was in its earliest experimental stages. Today there are more than 100000 mOtorcars in the United States--a car 10 every 41 persons! In l6 years the revenue derived from au- tomobile licenses alone has grown from less than s1 900 to more than sIS.OOO- 900 in the year 1916. Ninety per cent of this amount was spent on road and highway improvements. But perhaps the most interesting facts in tho auto- mobile industry relate to the car-per- population figures. Iowa, for instance. has a car to every 15 persons. while New York. our richest state, has a car to every 8 persons. In other words, Iowa, In proportion to her population, has twice as many cars as New York, and 20 times as many as Tennessee.
 The Southern states have the lowest averages of automobiles according to population, while the Western states have the largest. Popular Science Monthly.

 The object in organizing the quarter master reserve corps Is to obtain high class specialists to serve according to their previous training and knowledge. and be so prepared that in the event of the president calling for their serv- ices they will be capable of rendering efficient service without further train ing. A reserve officer is appointed for a period of five years; must, if so or dered, attend each year an army en- campment for a period of two weeks, and present himself for active duty at the proper place In time of actual or threatened hostilities.

PROBLEMS OF ELECTRIC CAR
Designers Finally Overcome All Diff euIties as Regards Seating by
 Arranging Upholstery.

Building an electric car to suit each and every one as regards the seating arrangement is difficult feat.
 It has been a much mooted ques- ton, this proper width, height and depth of the seat. As no two persons are of the same stature. so the same seat cannot possibly At two people who are physically unlika

 There Is way, however, to meet this difficulty. If you will notice, cars are designed so that the upholstery has certain give to 1t.

load and low air pressure means rim cutting and excessive action to the rub Der and fabrics. The solution of this problem should receive the careful thought of every car owner. Before he can handle 1t with efficiency and sat isfaction, he must be equipped to com mand the pressure he wants and to know what he has. Where the owner has to depend on a hand pump, his tires are usually neglected. This year with the high price of brass, most of the hand-pumps are made of steel tub ing, which retains the heat of compres- sion, gives greater friction to the leath- CTS, and will not last as well as the brass pumps of two years ago.
 It is real economy, to say nothing of the convenience, to be equipped with a motor-driven tire pump. Not only will

RAISE FUNDS FOR HIGHWAYS
Important Savings Effected by lssu. snce of Bonds on Deferred Serial
 Retirement Plan.

People of county intending to raise funds for highway improvement would do well to consider the advantages tc them of the deferred serial plan over the ordinary sinking-fund plan of re- tiring long-tern bonds. Under the se- rial plan, a certain amount of bonds is retired each year and the bonds so retired cease to be an interest charge on the community. Under the sink ing-fund plan none of the bonds is re tirable until the end of a definite
 period, and the entire sum raised bears interest for the entire life of the bond. The county, therefore. pays interest on the money so borrowed and in ad- dition sets aside each year as q sink

 ways of Illinois.

Needed improvement of leading roads of Illinois will require an outlay of s129, 9,oO00H0, according to Governor Dunne. Since the Tice law became effective July l, 1913, Governor Dunne says, the general assembly has appro- priated a total of S3,1O0,0e0- The counties contribution makes total of S6,2O0,0O0 available for the state-aid roads to June 90, 1917. The state highway commission, in estimating the cost of the construction of the state system at s129,OOo.000, averages this outlay over twenty years.

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Little Texas City Finds Merchants of keishboring Towns Get Trade
 on Account of RoaGs.

Two years ago ROckdale, Tex, voted a bond issue for the construction of good roads in that neighborhood. The people indorsed the bond issue, but certain interests fought 1t in the courts and the roads were never built. Now the citizens are working to secure the issuance of a much larger bond issue for the same purpose.
 Neighboring towns and precincts roads to such an extent that the merchants of that little city are find ing their trade leaving them to travel the better roads. As commerce fol- lows the flag. so does country trade follow the better roads. and the mer- chants of ROckdale know it-nOw.
 Every community in Texas that has spent money for improved highways has made a good investment. The only trouble has been that Texas bond is- sues for the building of roads have left too much of the cost to be paid by boys and girls now growing up and far too little Is being paid by the men and women who are getting the larger part of the value of these roads.
 The United States good roads ex- perts have found from their inyesti- gations that it is not unusal for an in- vestment in better roads to return to the taxpayers from 50 to 100 per cent profit each year on the total cost of the roads. With a profit so great on their invested capital it would seem the part of wisdom, and only fair, for the bonds to be retired in a less period than in the usual 20 or 30 years.- Houston Post.

Died of Premature Old Age

D1ed 0f Premature Uld Age :!
 How many times we hear of compara- lively young persons passing away when they should have lived to be 70 or so years of age. This fatal work is usually attri- buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication. The more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys the quicker will those noble organs be degenersted, and the sooner they decay.
 It is thus the wisest policy, to prevent premature old age and promote long life, to tighten the work of the kidneys. This can be done by drinking plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally talk ing little Anuric before meals. This can be obtained at almost any drug store. You will find Anuric more potent than ithia for it dissolves uric acid as water does sugar.
