ROAD HISTORIES.

That highway construction and main
tenance may be put on scientific basis,
provision has been made in the state of
Washington for keeping continuous his
tory of every road in the office of the re-
spective county engineers.
The value of such records can hardly
be overestimated. Any road or piece of
road that wears out too soon, or is unsatis-
factory, will be investigated; and a good
road one which shows tough wearing quail
tiles or is particularly adapted to certain
kind of traffic, can be duplicated in other
parts of the state.
Florida, which has already spent millions
for roads, with more or less success, is pc
culiarly in need of some such system, in
order that the multiplied millions of the
next few years may be as intelligently in
vested as is humanity possible. In those
counties that have highway engineers, the
plan can be put into immediate effect; in the
others, while it would not be on so scientific
a basis, a road history could not fail to be
profitable. The system would moreover
encourage the universal employment of en-
gineers. 1t would certainly encourage the
employment of highway engineer in Es-
Gambia county, for which provision has ac-
tually been made, although for some reason
the matter seems to have been dropped
there
Escamba county needs a road history
and road maker.

WHAT WE HAVE.

Cor just anything green, please"
Such is the rather wide latitude added in
the desperation of hope to recent order
for cabbage, received by the Gulf Coast
Produce Exchange of Mobile.
Organized only couple of years ago by
gulf coast farmers of Alabama and Missis-
sippi, the Exchange found tremendous de-
mand for foodstuffs in the north-espec-
tally anything green, please" Orders for
twenty carloads of cabbage have already
been received this season
The land that is supplying the Produce
Exchange is no better, and no worse than
our land. It is the same. While it would
be mistake to refer to the coastal farmers
of Mississippi and Alabama as examples of
prosperity, the fact that their selling organ
ization is stronger than ever and is placing
more orders than ever proves that more
produce is being raised, and the more there
is raised, the more there will be raised.
That's the way development goes. Or in
other words, it hasn't been the fault of the
land at all, but of the people.
While the North and even a large part of
the South are white with winter, our fields,
if we but wish it, can be green with the
delicacies for which the rest of the country
is willing to pay almost any price.

Dean of State University of Kentucky

The body is like steam engine in
that it needs fuel put into it. In the
engine the fuel is. coal and wood, in
the body it is food. When coal burns
in an engine it gives heat and power:
so also when the body uses food it
gives heat and power.
The foods which the body uses for
fuel are starches, sugar and fats;
they not only keep the body warm
but they give the power to move
around, to go up and down steps. to
sew on the sewing machine, to churn
and to do the many tasks of the
housewife.
The engine wears out as it is used.
The human machine wear out also.
Every day many cells of the body
wear out and cease to do their work.
New cells must be made to take their
places. The principal kind of food.
out of which these cells are made, is
contained in meats, eggs, fish, cheese.
milk.
How much repairing does the body
do every day?
1t depends on the amount Of work
the body does. If a person is busy
out of doors, sweeping or using many
muscles, more repairing will be nee
essary than if one sat in chair and
embroidered for half day. However.

fields each year to feed all of the
cattle on the ranges of the state. It
is all well enough to utilize tho
natural range, which is one of the
states chief assets; but It would be
far more economical to supplement
this advantage by feeding the cattle
during the winter when the range is
poor. The livestock raisers and
farmers are coming to recognize this
fact and the practice of feeding
range cattle during the winter is be-
coming more and more the vogue.

swArTING THE PUNcHBoARDs.

With the pernicious influence of the
punchboards still fresh in our minds, al

have been abolished here, Pensacola can
heartily congratulate Santa Rosa county

his honor said, partook of the nature of a
lottery and lotteries are prohibited.
Judge Campbell is to be congratulated on
his stand and if the grand jury does not re
turn indictments, it will be the duty of the
local authorities-if the merchants, thus ad-
vised of their infraction of the law, still per-
sist-to take action.

THE QUEST OF THE LAND HUNGRY

With only 254, 100000 acres of unentered
public lands left, and demonstrating going
on at the rate of 100000 acres year,
Secretary of the Interior Lane is right
when he says that in less than ten years
there will be no public lands left to satisfy
the appetite of the farm hungry, and he
suggests that the agricultural lands OF
Alaska be surveyed and classified as soon
as possible, in order that they may be
thrown open for entry.

about that of the calory squad of New
York's police force that are deserving of
comment
To begin with, the New York diet costs
only twenty-five cents day, as against the

How much constituted portion is not
stated. Doubtless an elegant sufficiencv, as
Cleveland said, for we read that nobody was
limited. 1t will be noted that butter and
not oleo was used-butter three times
day Doubtless, too sugar was used in the
coffee and tea, though this is improper,
both on financial and gustatory grounds
The mock chicken, it is stated, proved
highly pleasing-one man mistook it for
turkey; and meat is served only three times
week. When we remember that Euro
peans have meat only once or twice week
and thrive, this doesn't seem a particularly
calamitous plan-especially when you think
you are dining off the national bird, potent
in calories
Another interesting point is that the
cooking for the twelve men is costing only
twelve cents day. This does not mean,
of course, that family of two, three or
four need use only their numerical equiva-
lent in pennies for gas; but it does indicate
high degree of household efficiency
which, if more universally understood
would cut the fuel and all other bills con-
siderably
Doubtless there are number of people
living on less than twenty-five cents a day.
The experiment isn't to show the irreduci-
BILE minimum of financial expenditure
necessary to sustain life; but to prove how
cheaply one may live well.
