Small Cost of Modern Highway.
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.”

97,000,000,000 Cigarettes to be Smok-
ed This Year.
. 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.

Penn State Active in Military Circles.
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. The engineering corps
is also filled to capacity and is under
the supervision of Major C. H. Cun-
ningham.

Are You
“Toxic”?
It IsWell, Then, to Learn the Importance
of Good Elimination.
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. Many readers
have learned the value of Doan’s
Pills, stimulant diuretic to the kid-
neys, in this condition. Users every-
where endorse Doan’s. Ask your
neighbor!
