very wonderful aid in building up the
strength and powers of resistance of
nervous, weak people. This wonderful
remedy Is a natural product that is
pleasant to take-builds up the whole

Odd African Tribe.

The FL Molo c'Poor Devil') are a
small and little-knOwn tribe, dwelling
on islands close to the east shore of
Lake Rudolf, in East Africa. They are
now community of about 40 souls
under the leadership of a blind chief.
They construct the poorest type of
shelter from leaves Of the Dom palm.
Their sole food is fish, which they ocea-
sionally spear, but more often catch in
coarse-meshed fiber nets; their only
drink is the vile soda-impregnated
water of the lake.
The FL Moro are almost amphibious,
and are apparently unable to go for
more than an hour without water, for
after that time their lips swell up and
start bleeding. They have their own
language

TYPES OF ROAD MATERIALS
There Has Been Great Change in
Highways Suitable for All Traf-
fio Conditions.

In the last ten years there has been
a great change in sthe type Of road
suitable for traffic conditions on main
Travelled highways, according to engi-
neers Of the bureau of public roads Of
the United States Department of Agrl-
culture. In 1910 plain and surface
treated macadam were considered
among the highest types of paving for
country roads and a large percentage
OF the mileage was Of the two types.
There was small mileage of brick
and concrete and somewhat greater
mileage Of bitumlnous macadam, but
the plain and surface-treated ma
cadam were the predominant types OF
hard-surfaced roads. How great the
change has been is shown by figures
recently Issued by the bureau. On
federal-ald roads completed between
1918 and 1920 only 20 per cent
of the total area paved was plain and
surface-treated macadam. The types
that formerly constituted such small
part Of the mileage we're as follows
BitumlnOus macadam, 81 per cent /;
bituminous concrete. 6.3 per cent; ce-
ment concrete, 1913 per cent and
brick, IL per cent.

Spreading, Chiefly Among Women
Active in Industrial World.

The death rate from tuberculosis
among women is on the increase. In
spite Of the increase in active cases
among women the death rate for males
is still higher than that for females
by almost onethird. "The sudden m
hux Of women into industry during
the war may in measure. be re-
sponsible for this increase" says a
statement from the National Tubercu-
lOsis association. "This does not
mean that there is any real basis for
the assertion that women are not as
well fitted for industrial work as men
are. 1t Is a fact, however, that many
women who work in industry also look
after their household duties and bring
up large families of children. Conse-
quently, insufficient rest, improperly
cooked food and lack of fresh air so
undermine the constitution chat they
readily become victims of the tubercle
bacillus"

GOOD
ROADS
UNLOADING. SAND AND GRAVEL
ingenious California Contractor In
vents labor-Saving Device for
Handling Material.

In sections OF the country where the
supply of sand and crushed stone or
gravel for concrete road construction
must be shipped by rail, the method
OF unloading from open-top cars be-
comes an important item 10 the con-
tractor.
In the early days of concrete road
construction, these materials were usu-
ally unloaded by hand. A number OF
laborers would attack the car with
shovels, and so long as wages were
low, the expense of this method was
not prohibltive. With the advent of
motor trucks for hauling concrete ma
terials the cost of the delay at the
car began to be felt.
or course, the most economical
method for handling such materials In
large quantities is by means of a der
rick or crane equipped with clam
shell bucket. However, 1t is only
where large operations are In prospect
that equipment Of this kind can be
utilized.
The photograph shows how an in
genious contractor In California solved
this particular problem. A pit along
side the track was excavated into
which the trucks were driven. The
bottom Of the pit was low enough so
that the top Of the truck was just
about even with the bottom of the
gondola car.
Between the pit and the side track
ne erected simple gantry crane,
which was steadied by guy ropes. The
crane was pivoted at the bottom Of
the legs so that 1t could swing away
from the track when an empty car
was being taken away and full one
spotted. The gantry crane supports a
shallow hopper, one edge of which
hangs on the side of the car and the
other is suspended by ropes leading to
the top of the crane, and at the outer
and lower edge is a tail gate which
permits the bin to be dumped into the
waiting truck below.
This bin is filled by means of an
ordinary slip scraper which operates
inside the car. A small gasoline hoist
ing engine anchored at one side of the
track operates a pull line through a
pulley in the top of the crane, and
thence TO the bale of the slip scraper.
In this way two men inside the car
can fill the bin over the edge OF the

Cows will require feed, shelter and

be considered and plans made to pro-

their plans to keep dairy COWS even II
