Paving on St cloud-St.
Joe Project Let Sept. 5th
Comm;ssioner Babcock Accepts Pro-
posals on II Highway Projects
at Rock Bottom Figures.

Buying improvements on state
trunk highways as fast as funds are
made available and mostly at pre-war
prices, the lowest received this year,
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, the week announced
awards of contracts for II better
ments on widely distributed sections
of the state system. The list includes
more than rs miles of new gradin !,
71s miles of paving, 6 of graveling
and 10 new bridges. @'
The work, as previously announced,
is to be paid for mainly with county
reimbursement bond funds. Contrac-
tors are to start without delay and to
push construction that the public may
begin using the highway improve
ments as soon as possible. Awards
were on the lowest bid in each case,
with an exception where one bidde,
received large amount of work tax
ing all his equipment and division
was made with the next lowest to ex-
pedite operations.
= Projects put under contract with a
few others to be>let this fall will COM
plete the surfacing of all new grading
on the trunk routes, according to
John H. Mullen, first assistant com
missioner and chief highway engin-
eer.
Lower prices were offered at this
letting although there were only
three-fourths as many bidders as at
the previous competition. Decreases
were attributed to the fact that con-
tractors are enabled to carry on some
work dnring the winter months. Free
notices, given by Minnesota newspa-
peers in advance Of the letting are
credited by Commissioner Babcock
with securing lower figures and Civ
ing contracts to small and local bid
ders. The, majority, of the jobs were
bid in at prices from 10 to 20 per
cent under the advance estimates by
highway engineers. Commissioner
Babcock expressed satisfaction at the
result of the letting.
Approximately 10000 lineal feet
of new type steel cable guard-rail was
contracted for on a low bid of %
cents lineal foot installed.

Great Northern Installs
Adequate Crossing Signals
New Sign Posts Will Safeguard
Public-At Least Two More
49, Should be Installed

= The new crossing signals installed
by the Great Northern several weeks
ago area big improvement over the
markers which, had been used in the
past. "a
It's hardly possible for anyone to
approach the crossings where rshese
have been installed without noticing
them. The posts are striped diagonal
ly with white and black, carry a
cross arm at the top with red ligE t
at each end and a stop sign between
these two lights, which should be
connected so as to light up when a
train is approaching, and even though
the electrical connections are not
made, the present signals are MUCK
more effective than the old ones were
They have been placed at two of
the crossings leading south across the
tracks, and should also be placed at
the two places where the tracks are
crossed by, the road leading up Ho-
boken Hill, and the one leading t.
Fairy Lake.;
81 Inc writer has noticed similar
warning signals at various crossings
between Sank Centre and Minneap-
oils. The Great Northern ought to
be commended on their endeavor to
safeguard highway users. We would
Ike to see them go farther, however,
and protect these other two cross
ings in the same manner. Z

|SANATORIUM AND
SANITARIUM ARE
NOT SYNONYMOUS
Interesting Letter From Extension
Department of Mississippi Tuber-
culOsis SanatOrium Gives Deriva-
tiOn of the Two Words.

The Mississippi tuberculosis San
atorium is a direct result OF an un
selfish and humanitarian desire TO
check the ravages of tuberculosis
among our people and the few men
and women who fought for the in
stitution now worth 81 800, 900 have
seen their dreams come true. They
have seen it rise from small ex-
pertinent TO mighty factor In the
cure and control OF tuberculosis and
its value has been clearly proven
through the decided decrease In cases
and deaths.
Cemeteries In Mississippi had be-
come too crowded with deaths from
tuberculosis and the progressive
physicians of the State during the
1914 session of the Mississippi
Medical Association introduced a
resolution to have each county build
a small sanatorium. This failed OF
advancement because OF the trouble
in securing specialists who would
take charge, the lack of sentiment
and money, and from the fact that
county sanatoria in Illinois were un-
successful. A final decision to CEN
trilze the work was agreed upon and
the campaign begun.
Over 5000 examinations are made
each year by the Sasarorium physic-
ians who are specialists on tubercu-
losis. Any citizen OF Mississippi NAV
be examined without charge IL he
will write, phone or wire for q date.
This relieves congestion.
To the peOpl0 and neWspanars who
mix up the spelling and pronuncia-
ton of '.Sanatorium" this suggestion
Is offered:
Sanatorium and Sanitarium are
not Synonymous. Sanatorium is de-
rived from the Latin 'ssanatorius. "
meaning health giving. Sanitarium
from 'sanitus or sanus," meaning
whole or sound. A sanitarium Is the
place where hygenic conditions are
preservatiye Of health as distinguish
ed from one where curative agencies
are employed. Hence is Is the prov
ince OF the SANITARIUM to preserve
health and the SANATORIUM TO re-
store it.
The contractors and other con-
nected with the Sanatorium are us
ing every means possible to open the
doors of hope and health to the
1900 applicants who are urgently
begging Tor admission. All cannot
be cared for at the same time but
1t means shorter waitsand happier
ride of the road to Health. The
exact date of opening viii be an
nonnced later in The Brandon News.

MOVEMENT FOR
NEW DAY PROGRESS
AND DEVELOPMENT
State Chamber of Commerce Stands
Ready to Cooperate With All For-
ward-LOOking and Ub-Building
Forces. "Press" Foremost.

The Mississippi State Chamber OF
Commerce thinks the time ripe for
the people of. the State TO let the
balance of the world know of the
splendid opportunities we have to
offer.
To that end the practical thing to
do is to make a good Exhibit OF
cur agricultural and industrial re-
sources through the Central Western
and Northwestern States, and have
that exhibit accompanied with
good. reliable data" showing the
character of our lands, what they
will raise, the profits per acre, our
good schools, good roads, churches,
health, water supply, temperature,
etc..-and also have intelligent rep
resentatives go along with it and
TEL the Story" of what splendid
State we have for both hOmeSeek-
erS and investors.
The State Chamber. therefore,
urges the various chambers of COM
communities in the state to com
municate with the Home Office at
Jackson and offer their practical
help and cooperation.
1t is the desire of the State Cham
Der to make this Booster Tour
sometime in the late Spring or Sum
mer, and it is important that plans
be commenced now.
The proposed Tour would cover
about two weeks time and visit as
many Northern and Western states
as possible within that period.
Let us all work together and bring
progress and development to our
good old state.
Our millions of idle acres need
good, thrifty settlers-so let us go
after them.
