MANARAARCAAAASANSRSGESRRRCENNR IN Merely Common Sense. Charles Sumner once said: “The road and the schoolmaster are the two most important agents in advancing civiliza- tion.” Common sense teaches that the difference between good and bad roads is equivalent to the difference between profit and loss, It teaches that good roads have n money value to the whole people as well as a political and social value, and leaving out convenience, comfort, social and refined influences which good roads always enhance, and looking at them only from the. “al- mighty dollar” side, they are found to pay handsome dividends each year. People generally have come to realize that road building is a public matter; common sense decleares it to be a fune- tion of government, Sand-Clay Roads. Almost every community is favored with an abundance of stone, gravel, gand or clay, and by the proper man- agement a desirable road can be con- structed with either one of these. As there is a wide difference in the char- acter of the materials great care should always be exercised in selecting only the best—such as contains sufficient toughness and cementing qualities as will form a surface sufficiently hard and durable to endure the volume of traffic, and at the same time make the road less impervious to water, which is its worst enemy. In successful road building too much attention cannot be given to the proper drainage, surfacing and rolling; and in doing this work the use of the latest improved machinery is very necessary in the construction of any kind of a road if the best results are to be ob- tained. Anything that is worth doing is worth doing well, is an adage that might aptly be applied in connection with this question. This rule is not al- ways adopted, however, but it is far better to build permanent highways so that they will need little or no repairs for a long time to come. In some local- ities conditions are such that a good stone road may be built ac a cost rang- ing from $2000 to $3000 per mile, but in others $5000 or $10,000 are expend- ed; while good sand-clay roads can be built from $200 to $500 per mile. There are many phases of the ques- tion of road improvement of whicn much might be said, but at present the writer wishes to direct attention more particularly to the improvement of the common roads by the sand-claw method, which is quite inexpensive. When sand abounds in such quantity as to render travel on the roads difficult, an application of clay may be made to good advantage, and where clay is equally objectionable sand may be similarly applied and with equally as beneficial results.—Progressive Farmer. Government Aid to Public Roads. Following is a resolution introduced by Maj. W. A. Graham, of North Caro- lina, and adopted by the Farmers’ National Congress, recently in session at Richmond: “Whereas, the National Government wisely makes appropriations for the improvement of our harbors, rivers and lines of railroad transportation, to pro- mote the commerce of the nation by af- fording markets for selling the prod- ucts of the people and for purchasing the needed goods of other nations; the same wise policy could be promoted and extended by appropriations to es- tablish and improve the public roads the farmer may be enabled at least cost to place his productions at the places of distribution. If the domestic and foreign commerce is advanced by appropriating to harbors, rivers and extended or ‘through’ lines of domestic transportation, it will be benefited in an increased manner by appropriations to the public roads or highways, so as to enable the producer to reach the markets of his section at reasonable cost. There can be no valid reason why benefits that are extended to the buyer and seller should be denied the farmer; therefore be it * “Resolved 1. That his Excellency, the President of the United States, is most respectfully petitioned to recom- mend to Congress in his message some system of appropriations to improve the public roads in the States. “2, That Congress is earnestly peti- tioned and urged to enact a law, or laws, making adequate provision for the betterment of the public roads by sufficient appropriations to the purpose. +3. That a copy of this paper be sent by the President of this Congress to His Excellency, the President of the United States, and also the presiding officer of each House of Congress, with request to present them for considera- tion to the body over which he pre- sides.” ) Portabie Wireless Telegraphy. Portable wireless telegraph stations are now manufactured in Germany of such light weight that carts or wagons are no longer needed for their trans- portation, the parts being carried by men, While, with stations moved by wagons, the air conductors are at- tached to balloons or kites, with port- able stations they are attached to steel masts. These masts, three in number, can be pushed together like a telescope and are then about twelve and one- half feet long, but can easily be pulled out to a length of thirty-three feet.

The better class of drugpists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physiciane’ prescriptions and Druggiste of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never ell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they ere selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy eo pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations gometimes have the name—* Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception. and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs’ does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may deciine or return If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. gold to them.

We were in despair until the little widow’s advice brought relief. “I liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In two months my weight increased from ninety-five to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me | gain so rapidly and still more so when | they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had | brought the change. “My four-year-old boy had eczema, very bad, last spring and lost his ap- petite entirely, which made him cross and peevish.
