Young Women
Read what Cardui did for Miss Myrta Engler, off
Faribault, Minn. She says: "Let me tell you how much
good Cardui has done me. As a young girj, I always had
to suffet so much with all kind of pain. Sometimes, ! was
so weak that 1 could hardly stand on my feet I got a
bottle of Cardui, at the drug store, and aa soon as 1 had
taken a few doses, I began to feel better.
Today, I feel as well as anyone can."

State Aid in Road
Building.
Publicity From North Carolina Good
Roads Aasodatioa.
Uniform Hyiteui of Highway Nile
taaaacc Only Poulble Under mate
Direction.
Maintenance as well ai construc
tion of good roadi Is made nec
easary by modern traffic condi
tiona. Not only maat a road be
put in good condition but it muat
be kept in good condition in or-,
der to aerve the purpoae for which
it ia intended, and be a perma
nent benefit to the community
and to the atate.
In the earlier yeara of State aid
the maintenance of the roadi was
generally .left to the counties and
townships. Through this action
many miles of good roads, con
structed at heavy expense, were,
permitted ao to deteriorate that
large sums of money were requir
ed for resurfacing and restoration.
Later laws establishing state aid
in road construction have gener
ally made provisions for main-'
ten^nce
As long as the control of the
roads is left in the hands of the
county or township officials, so
long must there be
and unevenneaa in the upkeep. Lo
cal officials, to make a record for
economy, may permit good roads
to get into such a condition of
dis-repalr, that a succeeding ad
ministration may be obliged to
spend twice as much for restora
tion aa reasonable maintenance
would have cost.
Further,' many local officials
have not yet realized that im
proved roads change traffic con
ditions. Not only do automobil
ists seek out good roads, and
add largely to the travel, but ev
ery resident along a good road
will hitch up his team and go
somewhere half a dozen times
times, when, were the road unim
proved, he would have left the
horses in the atable.
To correct this irregularity and
unevenneaa in the care of high
ways, it is neceasary that uniform
methods may be pursued, and this
can only be accomplished under
state direction. The actual work
may very properly be placed in
charge of county engineers, but
these should be accountable to and
act under the, authority of the
state highway department.
In order tomalntdain the roads
in good condition, uniform plans
must be put in operation, applying
must be put in operation apply
ing to all localotles alike. It*la
not sufficient to state that coun
ty or township officials muat keep
the roads in repair; the particu
lar condition expressed by the
words, "In repair", it susceptible
of too many constructions. The
exact condition of required excel
lence must be clearly stated, and
i the methoda to be used to maln
and the standard plainly ex
pressed, in order to aecure ade
quate resulta. Even then the state
should have authority to proceed
promptly, in case of failure of lo
cal officials to perform the duties
devolving on them.
Arguments of "home rule" and
county or township "units" in
road management only tend to be
cloud a subject that should be
and ia, aa clear as daylight. This
is an age of "standards" in almost
every factor which enters into our
commercial and social existence.
Standards of road and bridge con
struction are necessary to make
the highways available to the
people to the greatest advantage.
Likewise standards of maintenance
must be established that the func
tions of the highways may be con
tinued without interruption.
When atata funda are inveated
in the highways the investment ia
for the benefit of all the people
of the state, and it is the duty of
the State to fee that the integrity
and value of that investment is
maintained in • condition which
makes it at all times worth the
money whleh was put in it; other
wise the money might as well not
have been expended.
A road can never be worth less
than it coat, unless, through neg
lect, it Is permitted to go to ruin.
In order to preserve tha value of
highways so that they shall be an
ssset to the state, alwaya repre
sent funds well Invested and
earning dividends la tha enhanc
ed valuation of property, In the
economy of primary transpor
tation, and In the heightened wel
fare and happiness of the people,
the system of maintenance and re
pair and upkeep asast be under
the direction and control of the
state, and paid lor, partially at
least, with state funds.
It ia a foregone conclusion that
In doe time tha 00-operatlon of
the Federal Government in road
construction will be secured. The
development of systematic road
work in all the etataa will sot paly
expedite the desired end, but will
alao provide the facilities and ma
chinery for Its efficient opera

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW.
Crnelty to Aaliaals. ]_l
By Walter "K. Towers, A. B„ J.D.,
of the Michigan Bar.
Can one be cruel to an angle
worm? Can one be cruel to an
oyster T These queries are not •
part of any foolish question series
but are examples of the inquiries
upon which courts of law have en- j
egaged themselves in their efforts
to prevent unnecessary suffering
to animals. Aa the judge leaves '
the decision of these queatlona to j
the Jury, one average citizen la'
aa competent to answer them aa
another. It all depends upon what
happened to the worm or the oys
ter, whether it hurt the victim,
why it was done, the viewpoint of
the person making the decision, (
and a few simple rules of law.
A recent case of similar nature
haa attracted public attention and
drawn forth an interesting opin
ion (rom the Judge. The case
aroae in New York and involved
the question as to whether cru
elty to animals, and further, !
whether you can be cruel
to a turtle, Sixty-five green tur
tles were shipped from Cuba -on
a steamship with their flippers
perforated and tied together by)
means of ropea passing through
the holes. The turtles were plac
ed on their backs and so allowed j
to remain until the ship reached ;
New York City. The captain of •
the steamship was prosecuted un
der the penal law of New York,
the charge being that he had
cauaed these turtles, unnecessary
and unjustifiable pain and suffer
ing while in transit. ~ "
The first objection made was
that a turtle Vas not an animal
and so the act was not covered by
the statute. The statute of New
York defines an animal as not in
cluding the human race, but every
other living creature.. Notwith
standing that a turtle is a spe
cies of reptile, the court held that
a turtle Is included in the defi
nition.
It was next considered as to
whether unjustifiable pain was in
flicted. On this point the Judge
commented as follows :
Hogs have the nose perforated
and a ring placed in it; the ears
of calves are similarly treated;
chickens are crowded into freight
cars; cod fish are taken out of the
water and thrown into barrels of
ice apd sold on the market as
as live cod; eels have been known
to squirm in the frying pan; and
snails, lobsters and crabs are
thrown into boiling water. Ir
respective of the devioua means
•that might be adopted to dectroy
life before these cruelties are per
petrated upon them, still no one
has raised a voice in protest. *
• • • • The emperor Augustus
nearly exterminated, peacocks to
regale himself in Rome with their
brains. Today the.world would
hold their death unjustifiable.
Then again juries and magistrates
of different localities, race, or oil
caticin. with varying ideas of tantc
and cuisine. may hold widely di
vergent ideas as to whether the
improved flavor of lobsters boil
ed alive makes cuch torture "jus
tifiable."
The court left the matter to the
Jury. How would you decide the
case 1 ,
The protection afforded dumb
animals against needless cruelty
rests upon particular statutes as
enacted by the legislatures of the
various states, and not upon any
general principle of English law,
unless the act be done in public
and so amount to a nuisance.
Thus, Just what may be punished
as cruelty to animals in a par
ticular state depends upon the
wording of the Jaws of that state.
Criminal statutes against cruelty
to animals are virtually universal.
These laws are generally of simi
lar nature and usually apply to .
to all animals other than humans, J
as does the New York statute.
The law does not, of course, pro
hibit all acts that cause animals
pain or suffering, but only such
as are unjustifiable, and not nec
essary' to the accomplishment of
some lawful purpose. The butcher
may kill the steer he has bought
and is not legally guilty of cruel
ty since his act is in the accom
plishment of a lawful purpose.
But If he slaughters the steer In
a needlessly cruel manner he Is
guilty of cruelty to animals. Thus
a butcher who dismembered hogs
and plunged them into boiling wa
ter before they were dead, in the
the process of alsughtering and
dressing them, was punlahed for
cruelty to animals. Further, a
needlesa, wanton killing, even
though unaccompanied by any tor
ture has been punlahed as
"cruelty" and that though the an
imal was a chicken.
Cock fighting is quite generally
held to be cruelty to animals
within the terms of the statute.
Releasing a captive fox and per-,.
mlttlng It to be hunted by dogs,
who tear and mangle It has been
punished as a criminal act. Shoot
ing captive pigeons for sport or
to improve marksmanship has
been held to constitute legal cru
elty by some courts; but others
have held that where the wound
ed birds were at once killed and
with those shot dead used for
food, tha killing was Justifiable.
We need not remark that the fa- :
miliar caae of the old lady who
proteated agalnat the shooting of,
clay pigeons aa being cruelty to]
animals (ailed.
Overloading or overdriving
horses and work animals are fa
miliar forms of cruelty and are
frequently punished. Driving' an
imate which are unfit to work Is
alfco cruelty. The cruelty may
conalet of a passive act of neg
lect as watt as abuse or mistreat
ment. The man who left his
food or water, was held guilty of
mala for like periods of time with
out . food, water or exercise, haa
alio been held as cruelty.
Some juries- have ruled that de
horning cattle was cruelty, be
cause unnecessary and unreaaona-.
ble; but generally a different
view .is taken, and if the. act is
Customary in the community, skill
fully performed and for proper
purposes, no legal liability at
taches. Working a dog in a
treadmill is not in itself cruelty,
but harsh and unreasonable treat
ment of a dog in a treadmill
was held criminal.
Unnecessary and unreasonable
beating is a commonly punish
ed form of cruelty to animals.
Poisoning is also cruelty where
there is no Justification for the
action. Hacking a pig with 'an
axe and permitting it to lie
woundei without attention, pour
ing turpentine on a chicken ; and
setting fire to it, and keeping a
horse with a badly diseased leg
in a paature in which in order
to support life by grazing it was
inevitably put in great pain, have
caused criminal convictions.
That unjustifiable killing is cru
elty has Wen stated. One man
killed chickens that invaded his
garden to eat his peas, -and for,
doing so was subject to prose
cution for cruelty to animals. The
edurt stated that his proper rem
edy to protect his garden was to
impound the chicken until their
owner made good the loss, or to
sue for damages.
The owner df an animal, if cruel
to it, is aa liable as others under
most statutes. One who advises
the doing of a cruel act may be
convicted as an aider and abettor.
A man who incited a dog to at
tack and tear a cow was held
guilty.
Prosecutions for cruelty to ani
mals being criminal, are generally
instituted and conducted by the
public prosecutor. Any person,
noticing an act of cruelty that
should be redressed, may bring
the matter to the attention of the
prosecutor, who will then act.

T0 REPAIR YOUR TERRACE
LOOK FIRST AT THE SOII
*
Brick and Stan* Fragment* Seriousl;
Interfere With Sod's Growth.
When the residents of cities and sot
nrba are looking at their lawns with i
view of repairing them for the wlnte
and summer months It Is well to ex
amTne the soil to a depth of fron
twelve to twenty-four Inches to see 1
there are any bricks, tin cans, board
and other coarse building debris. Tb
bureau of soils, United States depart
ment of agriculture, says in a farmeri
bulletin that the reason that grass doe
not thrive well on the average cit;
lawn Is that the majority of them hav
a filler of this kind of rubbish, and o
course grass will not grow on such it
fertile material.
In general a lawn should be beaut
ful. and it should be useful. Its beaut
depends upon the contour of the lam
the color and texture of the grass an
the uniformity of the turf. The us
of the lawn is to provide a soltabl
setting for architectural adornmen
and landscape planting.
Bricks, Sot tins, boards and otb«
course building debris found in nearl
all small lawns in the city are ver
detrimental to the proper movement o
soil fluid. The moisture moves dowt
ward until it encounter* a brick, fo
Instance, at a distance of three or fon
inches below the soil level. The wi
ter meets with no difficulty in gettln
to the edge of the brick and- then go«
nearly straight downward, thus leai
lug the soil Immediately below tb
brick unsupplied from this new watt
Influx.
Now, when the opposite movemei
of soil fluid begins the water moves ui
ward until It encounters the brick, an
the soil Immediately above the brlcl
which has in the meantime dried oul
remains unsupplied with moisture, s
that the grass suffers and dries out
A lawn soil should have a good suj
ply of moisture at all times. It sboul
be able to take care of excess durln
the wet season by drainage and durln
the dry season be able to supply store
up moisture from Its depths. This adi
quate water supply is the principal fai
tor in grass growth and the one moi
difficult to control In a poor coll. It I
more Important than any added fert
llser and cannot be compensated fc
by the addition of any amount or kin
of chemical plant food.
▲ soil well adapted to lawns shoul
consist of clay, silt, very fine sand, mi
dlum sand, coarse sand and fine grave
It Is this difference In the size of so
particles and In the proportions I
which they are present "in soils ths
has given rise to the different classc
of agricultural soils, such as the clayi
clay loams, sands and sandy loams.
Since the lawn is a "permanent fet
ture it is hardly possible to make tb
soil for the reception of the lawn to
rich. Stable manure which has bee
thoroughly composted and rotted an
which Is as free as possible from detr
mental weed seeds is undoubtedly tli
beat material to use in producing tb
desired fertility of the solL Forty t
sixty loads of well decomposed stabl
manure are not too much to use upo
an acre of land designed for the greet
award-
In procuring seed for a lawn to
great care cannot be exercised. Put
seed is the keynote to a clean lawn.
CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH,
Ce-operation Important In Obtainin
First, Thus Insuring Latter.
Cleanliness, both personal and mt
nicipal, according to Dr. William f
Snow, secretary of the Calif oral
board of health, la a matter for volui
tary and intelligent co-operation rathe
than enforcement of law, except 1
flagrant cases. As a rule. It la difflcul
to show In specific cases that diaagro
able sights, smells and aounda are dl
rectiy the causes of diaeaaa. They ar
nuisances and ar* allies of disease bi
cause of the opportunities afford*
varloua animal or vegetable carriers c
disease. And Just aa it pays a railwa
company to spend large earns o
money to keep Its track clear of weed
so that loosened spikes may be easll
detected or other conditions conduclv
to accident, so It will pay the peopl
to spend mooaj and personal effort 1
keeping their booses, yards and cit;
clean and free from all removable rut
blah aa a measure In preventing th
unrecognised approach of disease cat
rtera.
Dr. Snow places in Its right light tb,
position of the people The autborltle
can do no batter health work thai
