ROADS AND MOTOR CARS. Effect of Good Highways mm Note by An Antomoblllat. Whatever the reputation for reck lessness and disregard for the rights of the road which many automobile drivers or chauffeurs have acquired, the advent of the big car Is undoubted ly exerting a strong Influence favor able to good roads, an Increasing Influ ence which may be exerted powerfully when the time becomes ripe for legis lative assistance, snys the Auto-Advocate and Country Roads. An inter esting experience is related of roads and country ways by Whitman Osgood of Washington, who with his wife, two children and a chauffeur made a round trip to St. Louis in his Oldsmobile. They went by the famous old national All Run Down ilHIS is a common expres sion we hear on every side. Unless there is HARD MOTORING ON A BAD ROAD. road, passing through Hagerstown, Md.; Bedford, Va.; IMttsburg, Zanosvlllo, Co lumbus, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, etc. "The roiuls in Maryland were very good." said Mr. Osgood, "even In the mountains. In Pennsylvania they were bad and In West Virginia they were bad. In Ohio the roads got better, especially around Columbus, where for seventy miles they are as level and smooth as a floor. In Indiana they were fair, but in Illinois and Missouri well, the next time I go over those roads it will be with a flying machine. They were simply fearful. We had no bad weather. "J never knew before what an excel lent index to the character of people the roads which cut through the coun try are. Where there were good roads there were good farms; where the roads were poor the farms were poor, and the farmers looked shiftless and devoid of energy and ambition. We found It difficult to get proper food In some of the country districts, the farm ers sending all their products imme diately to the market." some organic (rouble, the con dition can doubtless be remedied. Your doctor is the best adviser. Do not dose yourself with all kinds of advertised remedies get his opinion. More than likely you need a concentrated fat food to enrich your blood and tone up the system. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is just such a food in its best form. it will build up the weakened and wasted body when all other foods fail to nourish. If you are run down or emaciated, give it a trial : it cannot hurt you. It is essentially the best possible nourishment for delicate children and pale, anaemic girls.

France has the best roads on earth, divided Into four classes: First, national; second, de partmental; third, military, and fourth, communal. National roads are built and kept up by the national treasury; department roads are a charge upon the departments through which they pass; the military roads are usually kept by the government, but some times the government is aided In this work by the departments through which the roads pass. The communal roads, like our civil district and town ship roads, are kept up by the com munes, but even these receive assist ance from the government when they pass through thinly populated regions. The departmental roads are thirty-nine feet wide and the other roads vary in width. Not less than $7,000,000 Is annually expended by the French government In making new roads and repairing old ones. This work gives employment to 35,000 persons, and the total length of the roads Is something over 350.000 miles. The roads are so well con structed that one single man can keep ten miles In repair if furnished with piles of broken stone, placed at Inter vals along the road, and a cart for dis tributing the stone. Every rut and bole as fast as made is filled. Broader Ceee of toll Sorreya. For several years past the depart ment of agriculture has been operating soil surveys in various parts of th United States for the purpose of deter mining the value of special crops. More than 60,000 square miles have al ready been mapped, and records of the surface and subsoil constituents and ot drainage have been made. Beyond the value to agriculture the Importance ot the information thus gathered Is being appreciated by the war department in possessing data for military roads in case of necessity, says the Good Roads Magazine. Such Information at the time of the Spanish war would have prevented the selection of a pestilential camp like that established at Chick amauga. These surveys will doubtlesi prove of great value, too, in determin ing highways for the many uses ol peaceful life, and the scope of the un dertaking may well be broadened to meet the demand for good roads, both in defining the most favorable location and in discovering the best materials at hand. ing instruments and the tobacco found in the possession of boys, and that parents and guardians who knowingly permit their boys to use tobacco are liable to a hne of hfty cents, and dealers who sell tobacco to minors are subject to a fine of five dollars under a law enacted in 1900. This will help to explain the secret of the wonderful physical endurance shown by Japanese soldi ers in the present war. Which is better to let young men waste their energies by the use of tobacco and whiskey and other forms of disipa tion, rendering them useless to the state in time of war, and largely bo in time of peace, as waa the case with the Russians, and as unfortu nately is the case with many .an American, as shone in the war w'tb Spain; or to have these young men conserve their energies by a life of abstinence and temperance, so that they may be prepared for the exigen cies of life which may come upon them, whether in war or peace? To ask the question is to answer it. But to answer it is to raise another question: Should the sale of things which undermine the physical con stituton of men and weaken their minds and corrupt their morals and damn their souls be peimitteri? And should places where these things are sold be licensed? South ern Presbyterian. Mrs Plckttt't Oratorial Hint, A big barbecue was on in Pulaski county, Virginia. Senator Daniel anrl another Senator were to speak, and the people of five counties were there to bear. Everything was waiting whan a boy galloped up with a telegram, saying that the Senators had missed the train. Hoge Tyler, a farmer and one of the leaders in arranging the festivity bnt with no political experience or aspirations, was the only possible one in sight to nil the vancancy. He rushed to the carnage where his wife and Mrs Pickett, wife of the General, were sitting and said: "Do tell me something to say!"

I expect them at night to take eight hours' sound sleep, to that they are in a tit condition for my work. Some time ago I had a young man working for me who was a fine fel low. But he would go to town every night. After the chores were done he would get with the boys and drink and gamble until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning.
