RAILROADS AND GOOD ROADS
Solution of Future Transportation
Problems Seen in Hard Surfaced
Highways Of Country.

Any student of the railroad situation
must reach the conclusion that rail
road operation in America has reached
the height of its efficiency and hereaf-
ter it will remain stationary or de-
crease
1t is always possible that some rev.
oiutiOnary process will he discovered,
but the long years without marked i'm
provement of process indicate that
railroad mechanics have about reached
their maximum while bureaucratic and
pOliticar control now assured will be
as deadening to all mechanical i'm
provement as they will be to effective
management.
Progress in transportation, there
fore. must be in other lines. Naviga-
ton has been heralded for some years
as solution. but in spite of heavy
government assistance, water traffic.
even on the Great Lakes, has steadily
declined. The remedy does not appear
to rest there. at least for the present.
There remain the highroads. In
them salvation lies, says Chicago Trib-
une The war, which proved the utter
incapacity of the French government
owned railways TO rise to the emer-
gency, established the motor truck in
its full majesty. What the French
railroads could not do the motor
trucks on fine French highways did.
What the highroads are in France
they must be made in America.
Fortunately, we have an excellent
little beginning in the middle West.
The principle of hard roads has been
accepted and timid beginnings have
been made in number of states, chief
among them Illinois. Let us under
stand. and Immediately, that what has
been done and what has been legis-
lated for is merely the thin entering
wedge of our highroad program. The
narrow ribbons of concrete roads laid
out by legislation will no more carry
the forthcoming auto truck traffic than
the old narrow gauge single track
railroads were able to carry the rail-
road traffic which they caused to de-
velOp.
1t is fortunate that we have many
agencies building roads. The nation

But since giving him Milks Emulsion
all his trouble is gone, and he is in per-
feet health."-Mrs. G. w. Smiley, 20 Maple
St, Dayton O.
For restoring appetite, health and
strength in sickly children, mothers will
find Milks Emulsion the thing they have
always sought. Most children like to
take it, because unlike many emulsions
and tonics, it really tastes good.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutri-
tive food and a corrective medicine. 1t
retores healthy, natural bowel action, do
ing away with all need of pills and phys
igs. 1t promotes appetite and quickly
puts the digestive organs in shape to
assimilate food. AS a builder of flesh
and strength Milks Emulsion is strongly
recommended to those whom sickness has
weakened, and is powerful aid in resist
ing and repairing the effects of wasting
diseases. Chronic stomach trouble and
constipation are promptly relieved-usu-
ally in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and SO palatable that it Is eaten with a
spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under
this guarantee-Take six bottles home
with you, use it according to directions.
and If not satisfied with the results your
money will be promptly refunded. Price

Disraeli's unpublished novel will be
read with eager interest by all who
care to learn his view Of his great
rival, Gladstone, who is therein por-
trayed as Joseph Top!ady Falconet.
In denying him any sense of humor
the novelist does not exceed the priv
ileges of poetic license, for certainly
his model was always in grim, serious
earnest. In declaring, however, that
he was never seen to smile Disraeli
somewhat maliciotIsly exaggerates. for
GladStone's smile was not infrequent.

charms. But 1t must be remembered
that the novel was written when the
two statesmen had long been settled

Corn is very fattening, and overuse
is frequent with poultry, causing the
hens to fatten instead of laying eggs.
AS grass makes up the bulk of feed
for geese, it is doubtful whether 1t
paws to raise them unless good grass
range is available during the summer.
The hen that has free range on a
farm in summer finds these same
things and that is one reason why neg
lected farm flocks lay well In summer
and very poorly at other times.
A well-kept flock of hens means
steady income-enough to keep you
in spending money while you are wait
ing for the crops to grow.

seem to prove the contention of some
Leghorn breeders that their birds are
light eaters in comparison with some

If good lot Of well-matured pullets
or well-moulted early hens are on
hand and If they are healthy and

a good egg yield is the right kind Of
care and feed.
There is no one kind of grain that
alone will furnish all of the different
food elements required to maintain
the body of the hen In good condition
and also furnish the material Of which
eggs are made.
