and the excellence of the French roads
can no doubt be partly attributed to
the selection of the best available ma
terials for their construction.
In 1898, road material testing lab
oratory was established by the Massa-
chusetts highway commission, with the
late Logan w. Page in charge. This
work mas developed until today there
are many such laboratories through
out the United States, and road en-
gineers are more and more coming to
realize the value of such tests and to
specify that material used in road con-
struction shall measure up to certain
established standard requirements.

HINTS FOR THE POULTRY GROWER

Tuberculosis and internal worms bring about greater losses to the poul- try industry than any other causes. according to H. D. Munroe, extension poultry specialist of the Ohio State University. Unsanitary conditions are largely responsible. These may be improved by rotation in the chicken runs. Soil about permanent houses may be plowed and cultivated crops raised. Portable colony houses may be used for growing chickens.
 The legs of chickens suffering from worms become paralyzed. Although the fowls eat heartily they become emaciated. No cure is known for the worms; prevention is the only remedy Birds suffering with tuberculosis be. come emaciated and are often lame Ia the left leg. The most reliable evidence of tuberculosis may be ob- tained from a post-mortem examina- tion. White spots varying in size from pinhead to a pea may be found throughout the liver and spleen. White Jumps of turbercles varying in size from a pea to that of a hens egg may be found on the intestines and body walls. The lungs are rarely found to be infected. The spleen is frequently the first part affected.

Death Valley Is Seventy
 Miles Long, Ten to Twenty
 Miles Wide; Barren Waste

Death valley, 276 feet below sea level, is an alkaline desert region in California, on the Arizona border. It Is seventy miles long, ten to twenty miles wide, and is situated between high foothills. Only seventy-five miles away Mount Whitney raises it's 14,5OO feet into the air, and with other near by elevations Is a barrier to any mois- lure reaching this parched region.
 In summer the temperature reaches 13O degrees in the shade, where there is shade enough to cover the ther- mometer, and even the nights are too hot to sleep. Terrific winds of heated sands sweep up and down the valley and render it a barren waste, except for a few stunted cacti and grease wood. In autumn tourists may ven ture into its confines, but they must carry "drink" for both man and beast, as the lone stream that enters this dreary region Is bitter alkaline and soon disappears in the sand. while springs are miles and miles apart.

Hope to Save Millions
 in Fires by Breaking the
 Matches While in Flame

When match breaking becomes a national habit S5O,OOOOOO a year will be saved.
 By breaking matches-that is, of course, matches one uses in lighting cigar, cigarette, zpipe or gas stove many fires that annually cause a loss of approximately $35,OOO,OOO will be eliminated, according to a statement by fire prevention authorities. And to spread the gospel of breaking matches and preventing fires, a nation wide picture campaign of education is to be started.
 Under existing conditions Ameri- ca's fire losses are increasing year by year." said Harvey Levey, educational director of film company that is to produce the pictures. "There is only one way it can be outdOne-that is by education. The fire departments are doing the best they can. Until the people are educated to back them up only in money but in lives, and that must be placed first"
 The campaign will be put on m CO., operation with efforts of the bureau of forestry of the department Of ag- riculture. Films showing every phase of destruction by fire and of methods to defeat heavy fire losses will be ex- hibited in theaters in every commu- nifty in the country, Levey said.
 The first essential, Levey said, is the breaking of lighted matches before they are thrown away.

Seminole Indians Taken Under Uncle Sam's Wing
 in Florida Everglades

Tn the least known wilderness of America, the Everglades of Florida, where no white man can find his way unguided, 600 full-blooded Seminole Indians have at last been officially "discovered.'' Ever since the Indian war in 1S42 the Indians in Florida have not been recognized by the gOv- ernment or the state. They were sup posed to have been removed to west ern reservations or hunted and shot by white traders who coveted their land. But a remnant of the great Seminole tribe persisted in Florida, eluding the government agents and retreating foot by foot before white people who claim ed to have purchased their lands, till they finally made their homes in the maze of unexplored swamps, studded with thousands of 1uxuriOusly vege- tated islands, which form the Ever glades. The government finally has been persuaded to grant them 100000 acres of land for an Indian reservation under an Indian commissioner
 The SeminOles live in an absolutely primitive state in matched huts. They are afraid of the camera, they wonder at the telephone, the automobile, the train and the commonest conveniences. They are suspicious of the white man and his government Yet when on oc- casional trips to the villages they learned of the war with Germany they showed themselves no slackers.
 They are a remnant of a few thou sari Seminoles who disappeared into the Everglades when the government agents started to move them west.

HOW RHEUMATISM
 BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma- eism are usually the result of failure of the kidneys to expel poisons from the system. If the irritation of these uric acid crystals is allowed to continue, in- curable bladder or kidney disease may result. Attend to it at once. Don't resort to temporary relief. The sick kidneys must be restored to health by the use of some sterling remedy which will prevent a return of the disease,

DON'T WHIP! Stop Lashing Your Bowels with Harsh Cathartics but
 take "Cascarets. "

Everyone must occasionally give the bowels some regular help or else suf- fer from constipation, bilious attacks, stomach disorders, and sick headache. But do not whip the bowels into &C., tivity with harsh cathartics.
 What the liver and bowels need is gentle and natural tonic, one that can constantly be used without harm. The gentlest liver and bowel tonic is Gas carets." They put the liver to work and cleanse the colon and bowels of all waste, toxins and poisons without griping-they never sicken or incon- venience you like Calomel, Salts, Oil, or Purgatives.

Spice Nuts.

Take one cupfuI of sugar, one cupful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, two eggs, one teaspoonful of bak- ing powder, one-fourth of a cup of shredded citron, the same of almonds, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon, the same of allspice and cloves. Cut the nuts and citron very fine, sift the bak- ing powder with the flour and mix with the fruit, nuts and spices. Beat the sugar, shortening and eggs until creamy, then add the flour mixture gradually. The dough should be stiff enough to form into small balls the size of a hickory nut. If too stiff moisten with milk, if not stiff enough add a little flour. Place on buttered tins and bake until light brown.

Use Two Hooks Instead of
 One in Hanging Pictures

Never fasten picture wire to a pie lure so that, beginning at either side of the picture in the back, it comes up to the hook on the molding in such a way that a triangle is formed. While not exactly a part of picture framing, the fastening of the wire or cord is most essential, for even the most beau tifully framed picture should be so hung that the actual mechanism of hanging is as inconspicuous as pos sible. Therefore use two wires, fast ening them so that they are parallel with the sides of the frame, and use two hooks at the molding instead of one. If you can use cord or wire which blends in with the wall itself so much the better.

False Interpretations of
 Providence and Wonders

We are guilty of false interpreta- tions of providence and wonders when we either make those 70 be miracles that are none, or when we put a false sense upon those that are real; when we make general events to have a private aspect, or particular accidents to have some universal signiicatiOn. Though both these may seem at first to have the strictest appearance of re- ligion, yet they are the greatest usur- pations of the secrets of the Almighty and unpardonable presumptions on his high prerogatives of punishment and r"ward.-ThOn.as Sprat.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Real courtesy Is not a mere outside polish, mask assumed for a purpose, but is a product, a manifestation of the true feel fngs of the human heart.
 The great thing is not to be discouraged by seeming reverse or relapse. The victory is to en- durance, and there would be no endurance if we were always gaining.
 Fear to spend what we have. nobly and on fit subjects, is a mean kind of thing, but fear to sQuander and to waste is whole some and righteous. Economy is not miserliness, and there is a grandeur about moderation which is wanting in excess.
 Poverty must be a crime-at least, it is punishable by hard labor.
