REPAIR OF STATE ROADS

Letters have been sent out by the
state highway department to 157
towns, ten cities and one borough,
asking them to make their. applica-
lions for allotment of the $1,000, 900
under the state appropriation, which
will enable them to have money from
the state for the repair of their roads
for two years. The letter. explains
that the maximum amount for which
a town may apply is fixed by statute
at $4,000 for the two years.
The town is instructed. as soon as
it decides how much it wants to APP
ply for, to adopt a resolution provid-
ing for the payment of a portion OF
the total sum desired. Sixty-eight
towns come under the one-eighth d.
vision, SO that these towns must ap-
propriate one-eighth of the total sum
of town and state money applied for.
One hundred towns come under
the ne-quarter division and these
town must appropriate one-quarter OF
the total sum of state and town
money applied for. All applications
must be in the office of the state
highway department on or before

.Jevons' index number fell from 161
to "a. That is, in these forty years
English prices were reduced to less
than half.
Between 1849 and 1873 (although
with two interruptions) British prices
rose, according to Sauerbeck's we'll
known index numbers, from IA to
Ill. A similar rise occurred in the
other countries for which we have
index numbers for that period, name
ly: the United States, France and
Germany.
Whatever the cause of this rise in
prices may have been, the fact is
that it followed closely after the great
outpouring of Californian and Aus
tralian gold and a rapid development
Of banking.
Between 1873 and 1896 prices fell
in countries using the gold standard
and rose in countries using the silver
standard.
It will be remembered that,
throughout the world and particular
ly in the United States during this
period, there was much controversy
over prices and gold, silver and pa
per money. We had in this country
advocates Of the grenback standard.
of free silver, of International bimet-
allism, etc., as remedies for the great
fall in prices and the depression of
trade of which there were loud COM
plants. The ferment eliminated in
1896 in the famous Bryan "free-sil-
ver', campaign.
But, by the irony Of fate, scarcely
had the country become excited over
falling prices when the movement
turned upward again and, with few
exceptions. it has been upward ever
since. The old cry of too little gold,
of too low prices, Of depression Of
trade was forgotten and, the oppo-
site complaint of high cost of living
gradually gained strength. Meeker's
index number of the United States
shows a. rise between 1895 and 1914
from Ct to 100 or about SO per cent.
The most remarkable fact is that
the course Of prices up to the out
break Of the war was strikingly SINH
lar in all gold standard countries for
which we have statistics, namely:
The United States, Canada, England,
France. Germany. Austria, Italy.
Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Dem
mark, Holland. Belgium, and even,
though less strikingly, in far away

What Causes Wrinkles?
What's The Remedy?

Stop to consider what produces
wrinkles and sagginess of skin. Pre-
mature aging, ma1-nutrition, etc, cause
the flesh to shrink, lose it's youthful
plurnpness and firmness. The skin
then is too large for the flesh under
Meath; doesn't fit tightly and snugly

1t must be plain that to tighten
the skin, make it fit the face perfectly
in every place. will .effectually remove
the hateful wrinkles and bagginess.
This is easily and harmlessly accom-
