INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS
Autos and Motor Trucks Do More
Harm Than Steel.Tired Vehicles
on Account Of Speed.

There is more damage done to tie
roads now by autos and motor trucks
than steel-tired vehicles ever did, for
the reason Of greater speed of motor
vehicles and their drivers have the
same fool tracking habit the horse
drivers always had. Driving in the
same tracks never damaged steel tires,
but it Is the destruction Of the roads
and rubber tires. The motor vehicle
is worse for the roads than horse rigs
on account of greater speed. The rea-
son running in track is damaging to
rubber tires, is sharp rock will be
set in the side of the track with the
sharpest corner out to nip piece out
Of every tire, and sharp rocks cannot
dodge or bounce out of the bottom Of
the track, but cut holes in the tires and
break the fabric, causing the so-called
stone bruises and rim cuts. even on
properly inflated tires.

BETTER FITTED FOR WORK
Testimony Shows That Service in the
Army Has Made the Average Man
More Efficient.

Evidence that returned soldiers, par
ticularly those who saw service over
seas, are going back into civil pursuits
more efficient and better fitted for
their work is furnished by one Of the
largest employers of labor in the coun-
try, a firm which has requested that
its name be not disclosed.
Of more than six hundred returned
soldiers who have been employed by
this corporation 43 per cent have
proved more efficient than they were
before their military experience; So
per cent are put down as just about
the same as before in efficiency and
the remaining per cent are rated as
having less efficiency.
According to the letter giving these
figures: "The analysis indicates that
the men are more orderly in their
routine work, more punctual, and a
few who were rather difficult to handle
are now amenable to discipline"

that 1t be comfortable, durable and

Horses at Work Need Ration With
High Percentage Of Grain.
Hlated it is preferable to expose the
horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns.
The feet Of the work animals
should be examined frequently during
the summer, in order that accumula-
tons of dirt may be removed. A few
moments devoted to scraping out the
hoofs each morning and evening will
add to the comfort Of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as nails
or stones lodge in the wall or sole Of
the foot or are collected In the clefts
Of the frog or between the bars and
the frog. If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and If they are ragged or
tend to split, they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth.
It Is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up In the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better, and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy
coat of winter hair with perspiration.
Horses that are clipped as soon as
heavy spring work begins should be
blanketed at night.

milk and buttermilk. Most Of the men
buy pint each time. The foreman
stated that since the drinking of milk
has become so popular with the men
not only is their efficiency improved
but they are more contented and even
tempered.
Specialists are giving lectures in
many large department stores. and ex-
plain that glass Of cool milk Is not

furnishes a definite amount of nour-
Eshment.
In New Haven, Conn.,, the manager
Of one department store had posters
made entitled, "Why We Should Drink
Milk" and sold six milk tickets for
IS cents to the employees, no attempt
being made to show profit on the
sales. Half-pint bottles of milk were
distributed to the clerks in the middle
of forenoon and afternoon. Straws
were furnished with each bottle of
milk. as the manager believes that too
often people drink milk too fast, aus
ing bodily discomfort.
