The waterfront of New York, from the

incoming warriors yesterday. gave evil
dence by their cheers that they were
quite sure that the entire $685. officers
and men who came into port through
the rain had done enough to merit D.

of them did do great things that It IL
quite out OF the question to tell OF all
In detail or even to give a bare list
of their names.
Some, however. did things so glorious
that personal mention must be made.
There was Sergeant Fred Barth. for in

In recent months he went through even

Lieut.. Leonard Cox and Sergeant Blohm,
who on September last swan the Vesle

and accomplished much of Importance,

across the Meuse and then scrambled up
the bank and penetrated the German
lines for distance of three kllometers.
Once more Barth helped to get hold of
immensely valuable information and
brought 1t back to his own lines while
still all in one piece. Again he was
recommended for the d. s. c. Part OF
Sergeant Barth's daily routine, one
gathered, was doing things which brought
a recommendation that he receive the
coveted cross. So wonderful were his
accomplishments that II now seems not
to be beyond belief that the War De-

enough to give him the decoration.

TELLS GOOD ROADS NEEDS
Farm and Fireside Explains Best
Plan for Oval Surfaee--Should
Be Flat az Possible.

'.Everybody agrees that the surface
Of a road must be oval in it's con-
tour" says Farm and Fireslde. "but
not all understand that this oval
ought to be as fiat as the character
Of the road material and the lay OF
the land will permit. With brick or
concrete construction the oval may
be very fiat, because the traffic makes
no ruts to carry the water lengthWise
of the road, nor does the pavement
soften and develop depressions when
kept in contact with water.
But broken stone (waterbound
macadarn), being susceptible to pene-
tration by water, and subject to great
damage if frozen while soaked, must
be given higher oval; and for gravel
roads q still sleeper pitch Is de-
.nanded.
= "As for earth roads,. the steepness
must be governed by the combined
influence of number of factors.
Perhaps the leading factor is the
quality of the earth in each particu.
lar case. And next might be placed
the presence or absence Of 'seeps' or
'spouts'; while another Of these vital
factors would be the longitudinal
pitch Of the highway"

Wash yourself on the inside before

This is vastly more important be-

For every ounce of food and drink

material Is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates

the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing. sweetening
