ReVeIry and ROtteREess.

The folly and extravaganza of
the American people are exciting
the comment not simDIy of
preachers, but of ether public
men. Recently in the senate of
the United States Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, after
stating that the American people
are spending annually $13, 000,-
600, 900 for liquor, tobacco and
amusements, bitterly denounced
their profgacy and extrav-
agance, charging that the high
cost of living was due to waste
and folly. He said: "This rev.
elry in extravagant habits, this
uncomfortable demand for amuse-
ments, for continuous mental in
toxication, is undermining the
sturdiness of our younger gener-
alton. The American people
seem obsessed with the idea that
the main thing in life is amuse-
ment, play, entertainment. -
When the politicians realize the
danger, it is high time that we
were taking account of the stu
alton, lest we become 'lovers Of
pleasure more than lovers o.
God" Western Methodist.

Why People Faint.

When in a place where there
is crowd and the air is stale and
stuffy there is almost always some
one who will fall over in a faint.
1t is plainly seen that some
thing has happened to stop the
tissue works. Perhaps you for
get that your vitality must work
all the time, and that if it stop
ped for moment you would
topple over.
That is what happens when a
person faints. TIE switchboard
brain centers which control the
balance of the body and the
nerves which carry orders from
the senses to the muscles of the
legs refuse to act.
You can guess the reason of
this if you remember that the
f ce of the person who succumbs
to this state is always pale.
This gives you the hint that the
supply of blood to the head is
defective.
The heart does not send
enough blood upward, aud so
not only the face but the brain
becomes pale and ceases to work
All tissues require a continuous
supply of blood or they will cease
to act.
Many wonder why the the
heart does not send enough blood
to the head. Numerous are the
! possible reasons. Too much blood
for instance, may go else where
the heart may be weak or pois'
oned by your breathing foul air
: or the blood may be too poor il
) quality to do its work properly.

German Crusllles BY Ivan S. Cobb.


German miIitarism are depicted
IN an article of Irwin S. Cobb,
The Kentucky writer, who spent
several months in Belgium,
shortly after the outbreak of the
war.
Mr.. Cobb writes:
When l read the utterances of

who could not be brought to bear
the idea of going to war with
any nation for any reason, l
wished with all my soul they
might have stood with me in

The Inter.COunty Seat Roads.
tBy Wiley, Commissioner Roads. }

Roads are built to serve the
people. No doubt the Fiscal
court of any county would be
glad to surface with some sort OF
material all the roads of the
county in one year, but such is
impossible with the limited funds
at their disposal. 1t, therefore
resolves itself into building first
the main roads, because they &C.
commodate the greatest number
of people and the people demand
that the main roads shall he
kept in good condition.
When aid for the building of
public roads is given by a state,
they usually designate a system
of roads upon which to expend
the money, the idea being to lay
out a system which accommo-
dates the greatest number of
people and can be built in a
stated number of years with the
funds available. K cky
adopted the inter county seat
system which comprises about
eight thousand miles. Other
states have the same system or
else what is termed a System
of Roads" The inter- county
seat system usually comprises
about twice the mileage of the
usual system of roods as outlined
IN most states, and consequently
serves more people, yet requires
. longer to build.
Statistics show that che inter-
. county seat system will accom-
modate about ninety per cent,
of the traffic of the county, the
people living on secondary roads
will in most cases travel over one
of the inter. county seat roads in
the transaction Of their business
affairs. They would at least use
the road for a part Of its dis
,, lance, because practically all sec.
ondary roads lead into one of the
inter. county seat roads and the
people living in such sections ap'
preciate and want the mair
roads built first.
1t lies with the fiscal court Of
the county to select the road o.
roads to be built each year anC
the public should appreciate thu
(, fact that ali the main roads Cal

Only a part of the regula
