ROAD
 BUILDING
NATIONWIDE BOOST IS SEEN
All etates of unien Have Avallsd Thsmsslvss Of Opportunity of-
 fered by Government

Prspared by the United States Depart ment of AEriculture.)
 That the better roads movement is receiving . nationwide boost is shown by the fact that all the states of the Union have availed themselves of the opportunity of participating in the benefits of the federal aid road act which appropriated $750O0.000 for the construction of post roads and $10.- 100000 for forest roads. according to the report of the director of the Ofice of public roads and rural engineering. United States department of agricul. ture. That the passage of the act has stimulated road building is shown by the fact that in 1916, there were ap- proximately 100000 of state funds expended for all highway purposes, and 1t is estimated that in the calendar year 1917. the aggregate expenditures of state funds for this purpose will be at least $60O00.000. A number of the states have made specific appropria- tons to meet federal aid dollar for dol lar. Among these are New York, nli- nois. Michigan. Rhode Island, Nevada, Iowa, Florida and Vermont.

LAYING HENS NEED
 FRESH AIR

The first three months of the year arc the months that demand efficient pouYtry house ventilation if the stock is to be healthy and if egg production is to be kept at a maximum, according to the poultry authorities at the New York state college of agriculture.
 Prvof of insufficient ventilation usr- ally is found in damp or frosted walls, damp litter. close or impure air, flock. with consequent low winter egg pro duction. The body of the hen con- stanty gives off moisture, and this accumulates unless there Is enough movement of the air to carry 1t away. Dampness fosters colds. and when a cold Is contracted. the body is too weak to resist the attack of . con tagious disease such as roup.
 It is stated further that the house should at no time be tightly closed. The exercise of judgment, and a few trials, will show how much to leave the windows open at night. Windows should ! removable 50 that they can be taken out during the day. If 1t is not storming. Experience indicates that the birds will not suffer from the cold if they are not In . draft, if they are kept working, and if they are not oveTfed
 Plenty of air. may best be had by tilting windows in at the top. as this will not let in the rain nor put drafts directly on the floor. There should be . wide board at each edge of the window to keep the rain out; . strip of wood. sash-plug. or nail on this strip will hold the window at any deadred angle. Both upper and lower sash, where there are two. should be arfaneed In this way to get the best circulation.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
 NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to bs nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in . healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of am bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmers' Swamp Root, . physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get . medium or large size bottle i'm mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for . sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

AUTOMOBILE IS BIG FACTOR
Present War Has Found h Roads and Motor Cars Means Of Moving
 oroat Numbers of Men.

Two conditions of civic life en- phasixe the necessity for good roads. One is war. The Roman roads were built because Rome had vast armies to move. The present European war has kept thousands upon thousands of men busy In eastern Prussia and western Poland building roads In ter ritories where before there were only swampy trails. Many of the roads in Belgium and northern France were built during previous wars. when vast armies must he moved suickly. @ th.. the present war has found In roads and motorcars the means of moving great armies as never before.

Boil two large beets until tender. cook four medium-sized pota- toes until mealy and dry. and dice two slices of salt pork and fry until the little cubes are brown with plenty of drippings.

Ten Rules for Householders To Obtain Greatest Heating Efficiency and to Save Coal

The efficiency with which the house. holder operates his heating plant de pends mainly upon the type of furnace and the conditions under which 1t is installed and operated. In the inter ests of fuel conservation during the present extension division, co-operat- ing with the state council of defense. puts out the following suggestion:
 1 The base of the heater must bs tight and must make an alright con nection with the floor % that no air can leak into the ash pit.
 2 The chimney and all connections into 1t must be tight A burning match or candle held close to all joints will indicate leaks.
 6. The chimney should be high enough. The top should be at least feet above around surrounding 0b- jects.
 1. The smoke pipe from the furnace to the chimney should be straight, short, and should grade up to the chimney.
 5. The gTstes must not be warped. must move easily and should have no holes or broken places for unburned coal to drop through. c An basement piping. heater sur faces and smoke pipes should be GOV. cred with asbestos covering. 2. A shut-oR damper should be pro vided in the smoke pips to control tho intensity of the chimney draft and . check draft dampef is required in the smoke pipe beyond the shut-o6 damp | CT.
 a Thers should be . lift or slide damper in the fire door and . dfafl damper in the ash pit door. Q. For highest ehncieucy. some type Of automatic draft regulator such e [ thermostat should be provided. 10 All doors and windows in tha house should b as tight as possibas

Textile Tests to Ascertain
 # Cloth Is AduIterated or
 Misrepresented in Any Way

The laws of this country offer no protection to the purchaser of mate rials. Therefore to protect them selves, women should know a few prac- tical tests to determine the content and value of materials. The object in making these tests Is to discover if cloth is aduIterated. arti6cially dressed or mlsrepresented in any way. The following tests from Extension Circular fl. Principles of Sewing. Uni- versity of Missouri college of agricul- ture, Columbia. may be used In any home:
 l. If the water is dropped on cot ton and linen goods. the moisture spreads. the moisture spreads rapid ly on linen but will remain unabsorb- ed on the cotton for some time. This Is not always a safe test as cotton and linen are often heavily sized with dressing. which prevents the water from being absorbed.
 2. A much safer test may be made by dropping glycerine on cotton and linen. Linen will become transpar- ent. but cotton will not be affected.
 & Crushing cotton and linen ma- terials In the hands will show the diff ference In the materials, as hne2 wrinkles more than cotton.
 4. Cotton and wool mixtures when
 moistea-d wrinkle more than pure wool materials.
 s. Material may be tested by pull. ing out threads and examining the ends. Cotton nbers are short with fuzzy ends. while linen nbers are long, with uneven ends, usually pointed. Wool nbers are short, kinky and stiff ; dbers of reeled silk are long. straight and lustrous. while fibers of spun siIk are short and easily broken. 6. Sizing may Dc discovered by rub ping the material between the hands i. to see if the dressing will come out Washing will also remove dressing. 2. Each fiber has . characteristic burning test which may be easily dis tinguished.
 .. Cotton burns quickly with flame b. Linen burns Ike cotton, but il not inflammable. as 1t has less oil ir the fiber and less air in the wover cloth.
 C. Wool burns slowly, giving of
 an odor like burnt feathers and leavez
 . gummy residue.
 q. Silk burns more slowly and witl
 less odor than wool It leaves . crisy
 ash. Silk leaves more ash whez weighted.

calculation as to the volume of water the culverts are to carry on in rainy season and flood time. not in dry weather. and as to the durability of the material used in their construction. There can be no skimping on culverts or bridges or drainage without waste.

 They are unlike the navy bean as to starchy content. containing very little which makes them a valuable food for diabetics. The starch may be supplied by flour or cornstarch. making them more nearly like the ordinary navy bean.
 Soy beans are of several colors. black. green. brown or yellow. They are good cooked in many ways. but must be soaked twelve hours before cooking. then simmer until tender. When baking them the addition of a little flour to supply the starch makes them more palatable.
