Many are wont to sigh for the sim- plicity and economy of the “good old days.” They see the nation headed for the bow-wows on a wave of extravagant public expenditures, not realizing that for many of our superior advantages we pay far less—partly because there are more of us—than our ancestors paid for ways that were far from be- ing as pleasant or contributing as Jimch to the happiness 4nd fullness of ife. Take our public roads, for example. In the first years after the colonies became a republic, funds were so meager and the people so poor that the commonwealth could not assume the burden of road building. Instead private companies were formed to build and maintain turnpikes for which service they are authorized to charge a toll for the use of the road, says the Maine Motorist. On June 14, 1796, the first turnpike company in New Hampshire was or- ganized. A schedule of tolls running from one cent per mile for every ten sheep or hogs up to three cents per mile for wagons, stages, private car- riages and like conveyances drawn by horses was legally perimtted the com- pany. These old roads were very poor. Ruts were left unsmoothed, bridges sagged and fell in; vehicles were mired in the mud holes. Yet the toll companies claimed their returns were so small they could not afford repairs. Imagine a present-day motorist traveling over one of these roads and being stopped every two or three miles by a gate which he could not pass without paying a toll. Compare this with the cost of trav- eling on a modern, paved highway. It will surprise many to learn that our modern highway is the cheaper of the two— far cheaper. A hard surfaced pavement today costs about $27,000 per mile. Grading, draining, fencing, etc., bring the cost of the whole improved road to about $35,000 per mile, the actual cost de- pending upon the locality where it is built and the amount of grading re- quired. At 6 per cent. the yearly in- terest on this total cost is $2,100. The sum which must be put aside each year to replace the pavement at the end of 20 years is $900. Maintenance may be estimated at $200 a year. The total yearly cost of a mile of modern pavement is then $3,207. If an average of only 500 vehicles per day passes over the mile of im- proved pavement the cost then is only 1.73 cents per vehicle per mile. This is but little more than half what our ancestors used to pay to travel the mud and dust and ruts of the “good old days.” A Booklet For the Motorists.

Engines are not going to do all the puffing this year, for it is estimated that there will be about 97,000,000,000 cigarettes smoked in the United States in 1926. Figures on tobacco taxes issued on Monday by the Bureau of Internal Revenue disclosed an in- crease of about 22,000,000,000 in the use of cigarettes since 1925. The country will consume about 8,100,000,000 cigars in 1926, an in- crease of 1,000,000. About 40,000,000 pounds of snuff and 393,675,000 pounds of tobacco that will be used this year represent material increases over 1925.

Because of limited financial aid from the federal government for mili- tary instructional purposes at the Pennsylvania State College, enroll- ment of advanced students in the Re- serve Officers’ Training Corps has been limited this year to the size of ! the staff of two years ago. Many more upper class students who are eligible have sought enrollment in the Officers’ course, but could not be ac- | cepted. The full enlistment of over 1600 freshmen and sophomores is now training in a basic course under the | direction of the military department in charge of Lt. Col. Clenard McLaugh- lin and staff.

UNCTIONAL inactivity of the kidneys permits a retention of waste poisons in the blood. Symp- toms of this toxic condition are a dull, languid feeling, drowsy head- aches and, sometimes, toxic back- ache and dizziness. That the kidneys are not functioning as they should is often shown by scanty or burning passage of secretions.
