The man who never gets out of
the man who has yet to see city sky
scraper, should be a booster for better
roads. Highways are used in trans
porting practically every article of
food at some stage in its journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled in wagons to markets
there has been an interest in better
roads as means of reducing the cost
of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because of the
extensive use of motortrucks in haul
ing products from the farm to the
markets. Trucks are not only replace
ing horse transportation but in many
cases they are supplementing and even
doing the work of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer a solution Of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only-for horse-drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down I'M
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance Of thousands of miles
of roads so that the enormous govern
meut and commercial truck traffic of
the past two years could move has
taxed the, abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part Of
highway officials. In many states Off
Gals found themselves without suffi-
cient funds to handle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all of them had to struggle IN
der the handicap of an insufficient Ia
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
increased cost Of labor and material.
War Lessons Aid in Peace.
Only a few states were unaffected
by the restrictions on the supply and
transportation of materials which had
to be brought from a distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
the great and rapid increase in traffic
at this country's entrance into the
war FROM new ELSlduu u Tie Ia
cifc coast new demands were made
upon the highways, and unusual con-
ditions developed everywhere in main
tenance and construction. In several
states high type roads, which had orig
inally been constructed without suffi-
Gent foundation to meet the new de-
mands, had to be rebuilt, and part of
this construction work was carried on

easily and successfully adjust the

clans examination and thorough one,
including a blood test. 1t will pay
parents and it will be profitable for
the state and nation to see that every
child is examined every year. BY the
system of height and weight charts
sent out by the children's bureau, any
mother may know whether her child
approaches the normal or not and If
underweight, he should be examined at
once.
Children need whole wheat. Other
cereals may be used for variety. They
need fat, particularly butterfat, which
contains the wonderful substance
which promotes growth. They should
have sugar in moderate quantities and
an abundance of fruit and fresh vege-
tables, especially those like spinach,
chard and lettuce, for in them also Is
this life-promOting principle found in
milk, butter and cream.
Another food that a well-nourished
child should have is the egg. Serve
one In some form daily for each child
Then fruit of various kinds, orange
juice particularly, are good for infants.
Prunes, figs, dates and raisins when
well masticated or cooked are most
wholesome for children. Apples, baked,
are especially good; bananas when
thoroughly ripe and scraped to free
them from the stringy fibers are also
good. AS each fruit has some valuable
property in itself it Is wise to have
variety. Children fed on prunes with
no other fruit will develop scurvy, so
that orange juice with potatoes is
recommended for that trouble. The
young child can take orange Juice; the
older ones are able to take potatoes
Fish, If fresh and carefully cooked,
is food which may be given children
In place Of meat. Poultry, If one can
afford 1t, is another good food for the
child. Cornmeal, mush, rice and pota-
toes once day to young children are
all good foods, provided they are well
cooked.

OIL AND TIRES

Oil and gasoline are deadly
enemies to automobile tires. If
you don't believe it, take a rub
Der band and immense it in gas
oline. Watch it swell-grow
before your eyes. Then, after
allowing it to soak for a short
time, just stretch that rubber
no life or vitality left.
Gasoline has a similar effect
on automobile tires. "Gas" eats
weak spot into the tread or
sidewall and starts deteriora-
ton. Oil and grease have the
same effect.
Great care should be exer-
cised in the use of oil around a
garage. Oil or gasoline should
not be allowed on the floors.
Spare tires should always be
protected by cover.

Despite it's scope Swift &
Company is business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli.
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?
