the road is hard. smooth. dustless, and without any ruts or pockets, according to Professor Gearhart.
 Where there is n pocket in the road, water will gather after every storm. oil works better. on sandy soils than on clay or heavy loans. Loan soils may be helped by sprinkling a light coating of sand over the oiled surface.
 After the first year .t is better to ap- ply from one-quarter to one-third of a gallon of oil to each square yard of surface in the spring and the same amount again in the fall.
 For laying the dust on city streets, oiling may be as economical and more satisfactory than water, particularly if the soil is sandy. When city streets are oiled 1t is best to cover the cross walks with dust or dirt so that they will not be covered with oil. When the oiling process is finished the dust or dirt may be swept away. Surface oiled streets are not satisfactory If the soil is clay or loam, for the oily dust blows about and is carried into build ings and upon walks.

 When l had taken about half the first bottle I began to feel stronger and encouraged. I continued to take 1t and II is nothing short of marvel ous how improved day by day. My appetite returned and my food seemed to nourish me and agree with me. My skin and complexion began clearing and improved in every way possible until am now a well woman. and when l say well I mean absolutely what l say. 1 want to tell the whole world that I thank God for Tanlac.

KIDNEY REMEDY {
 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle that gives such good results as your Swamp Root. Many of our customers have informed us at different times that they have derived great benefit from its use.
 There was one case in particular which attracted a great deal of attention in this neishborhood early last Spring, as the eentleman's life was despaired of and two doctors treating him for liver and kidney trouble were unable to give him any re lief. Finally a specialist from St. Louis vas called in but failed to do him any good. at last induced him to try your Swamp-Roo and after taking 1t for three months, he vas attending to bis business e usual and is now entirely well. This case has been the means of creating an increased demand for your Swamp Root with us.

MOISTURE FOR ROAD MAKING
There Is Certain Water Content at Which Soil Packs Hard-Remove
 All Grass and Weeds.

Road making Is largely a matter of moisture control. When soil contains too much water it becomes mud, and when it has too little moisture It be- comes dust. But there Is a certain moisture content at which soil packs hard. And this Is just about the amount of moisture that soil will hold readily. This usually can be maintained in a road that has good drainage. that is well crowned so the that Is free from grass and weeds. These if allowed to grow. will soon draw tfe moisture out of the soil and so remove the binding material.

WHERE OILED HIGHWAYS PAY
Better on Sand Than on Clay or Ioam Soiis-oii Sometimes More Sat-
 Isfaetory Than Water.

Oiled earth roads should not be re- garded as a permanent improvement but are much better than common earth roads, in the opinion of w. s. Gearhart, professor of highway engi- neering.
 "Oiled roads do not require so much dragging as ordinary earth roads," said Professor Gearhart. "They shed water. better and do not become so dusty Although oiled roads are not so satisfactory as gravel roads, they may be a help in developing good roads sentiment"
 The best results from oilIng are to be obtained by applying the oil when

Indians Good orehsrdIsts.

The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,5OO trees, which all had been duly pruned and cult. vated by the people we are prone to re gard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon. the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.

cracking out to the four corners or tne earth and over the surface of the Seven seas the word that the imperial government of Germany and the United States of America had come to grip of battle. On every American warship and at every American naval CT military station, some scores and some thousands of miles away. receiv- ing antennae tingled with the news as 1t came sputteringly but quickly to its aerial destination.
 A few days later another govern ment order was set forth declaring that the authorities at Washington had decided to take over control of the wireless facilities of the nation and that all private apparatus for sending and receiving must be demolished. PO- lice officials all over the land got busy at once, and thousands of amateur telegraphers found themselves without avocation the next morning. In New York city alone e9S wireless stations were silenced. an index of the enor- nous growth that aerial teiegraphy had achieved.
 These two instances witnessing the indispensability of this mode of com nunication make difficult of belief per haps the statement that 1t Is just 45 years ago that the science of tele- graphing through the Ar without wires was for the very first time brought to the attention of the con- gress of the United States. and that the application for permission to in- corporate a company to try out the "crackbrained" scheme so tickled the disabilities of the honorable representa- tives that the proposition was very nearly laughed out of court.
 Eventually. however. the idea seem ing harmless. If entirely mad. the de sired authority was given, and Mahlon 1 Loomis, 6 dentist of Washington. D. C., was told that he could go ahead and do anything of the kind he liked. So in a spirit of entire levity the lower house accorded the initial recognition to what has developed into one of the most marvellous and most serv- iceable of all manifest work of genius. Ahc uumc o1 ouSieinio <Aai CoAi, tiie Italian, is inseparably associated with wireless telegraphy in these days. and as is SO often the case the men who blazed the trail are forgotten. Sc MahloE Loomis and many like him have passed into the obscurity of memory. their achievements receiving only scant mention even in the books which give the history of the science as 1t developed.
 The Washington dentist was. how. ever, . pioneer in one respect which has reserved for him a modicum of fame: he first of all scientists proposed 10 use the present method of conduct ing the electric impulses by means oi long masts and even erected a struc ture for the purpose on the banks oi the Potomac river in Maryland. where he for a time carried on experiments Therefore the records mention him ir long list of illustrious men as one who really did something to advance the cause of wireless investigation. There are. few men now living whe recall the debate In which the leading men of congress took part when Rep resentative Bingham of Pennsylvania introduced a resolution to incorporate the Loomis Aerial Telegraph company
