ft Good Roads. g - , v A Good Koatl Factor. A striking article in a monthly magazine suggests the appearance ol a new factor in the movement for bet ter highwaj-3 in tho country. It de scribes the growth of interest in the automobile on the part of people who live in small towns or in the adja cent territory. It indicates a variety of ways in which machines of this character are now being used outside tff the cities and gives photographic Illustrations in support of its conten- tion. Tho attitude of the rural popula tion toward the automobile is chang ing. At first there was some occa sion for antagonism. Tourists from the cities with their rapidly moving conveyances frightened horses along the highways, caused many runaways and often hurried on their journey without offering assistance to the in jured or paying for damage due to their carelessness. They left in their wake great clouds of dust and often made themselves obnoxious by their reckless driving. On some frequently traveled roads they aroused the in dignation of the farmers to the high est pitch. The sentiment now is changing. This is partly due to the growth of the industry with more experienced chauffeurs in charge of the machines and with more recognition of the rights of others by those who use the highways for pleasure rides. But it is also due to the increasing sales to the farmers and townspeople, who are finding the automobile an economical and useful vehicle in rural life. In the article mentioned the farmer's wife is shown taking produce to mar ket in a runabout. The farmer him self carries his wheat to the mill in the same sort of conveyance. The real estate agent is able to show his - prospective customer over farms at a distance from town much more easily and quickly than with a horse and buggy. The ranchman finds an auto mobile a time saving and distance eliminating factor in his work. The physician has his territory enlarged and his professional duties lightened by the same agency. The necessary trip to town, once tiresome and de ferred as long as possible, is now made quickly in rain or shine. This change in feeling resultant from the growing use of the automo bile is bound to have its effect in the direction of better roads. When the first agitation started for highways along which owners of touring cars might take pleasure runs across the country many thought, "If the fav ored few want good roads let them pay for them." Now there is a local interest which is growing rapidly. If there are to be connecting highways between cities they must be built by local taxation and not by Government appropriation. The reasons of prac tical value to the farmer to encourage the construction ox roads nave been many. In some places they have been operative if others the increased - wtioji .. demanded has proved the drawback, but it is true that the bri dle path and the ford and ferry have given place to the highway with its bridges as the machinery of travel has developed. It may be possible that the perfection of the automobile and Its Increasing use in the country will have a practical result in a marked strengthening of the good roads movement. Chicago Tribune. ' Working Highways. In the towns where the public high ways are worked under the money system, how many hours are required with a team for one day's work? C. A. K. Answer Under the labor system of working the highway, whereby persons and property are as sessed not for so many dollars but so many daya' labor, which, however, may be computed at the rate of a dol lar a day, eight hours constitutes a day's work; but any person assessed more than one day must be allowed to work ten hours each day. Under the money system, each person or piece of property is assessed so many dollars, which must bo paid. The commis sioner of highways may, if he so de sire, employ any person to work, and he may prescribe the number xf hours and the amount to be paid therefor just the same as any other employer. He is supposed to use his money to the best advantage, and if one man does more work than another by working longer hours or otherwise, the commissioner can pay him more. You can readily see that under this method there i3 no regulation as to the number of hours; all depends on the commissioner's acting in good faith. It i3 possible that work on the highways may come under the eight hour labor law. Country Gentleman. The Only Safe Way. Don't sleep on your left side, for it causes too great a pressure on the heart. Don't sleep on your right side, for it interferes with the respiration of that lung. Don't sleep on your stomach, for iY.s. interferes with th? respiration of bom lungs uuke3 breathing diffi cult. Don't sleep on your back, for this method of getting rest Is bad for the nervous system. Don't sleep sitting in a chair, for your fcody fails into an unnatural po sition and you cannot get the neces sary relaxation. Don't deep standing up, for you may topple over and crack your skull. Don't sleep. Puck. ; Different. The good die young, but this Isn't true of jokes. VISITOR MUST BE ENTERTAINQ. To be a well bred and considerate guest Is more difficult than to be a successful hoste3s, for the hitter takes the Initiative, while the former must follow or conform. Failure to do this ia inexcusable from a eocial point of view. A guest's obligation begins with receiving an invitation, for the accept ance or refusal of it must 'be made Immediately. Too often however, time in answering is allowed to drag, and tho woman who has sent an in vitation is often uneasy to know whether or not her friends are com ing. A tardy refusal may throw out tho entire success of the occasion, through the hostess' lack of time to substitute ether persons for those who fail on the last day. When the invitation is for a lunch eon cr dinner, and has been accepted, guests should time their arrival to live minutes before the hour appoint ed. To be too early Is almost a bad as being tardy, for a hostess Is rarely ready to receive until .the hour mentioned, and to have some one wait ing In the drawing room while she finishes dressing is awkward for both- Rosina Schuyler in the New York Telegram. HARD TIMES INCREASE ADVER TISING. " An advertising solicitor in a South ern city was asked by a reporter for a local newspaper if lie was not en thusiastic over the prospect for "good times" and a lively business season. "No," said he; "I can't say that, so far as my business is concerned, I have any reason to congratulate my self because the outlook now is for exceptionally good times. The truth of the matter is I have found after an experience of twenty years that the harder times arc tho easier it is for me to secure advertising. There are scores of business men in my town who never think of inviting patron age until their business begins to drop below normal." TO CLEAN LACE. To restore lace, either black 01 nhite, when soiled, place it In milH for 12 or 18 hours. The milk becomes icid; the lace should then be gently washed in it and afterwards well rinsed in clean lukewarm water and laid out smooth upon a pillow in the sun. Boston Post.

Constant confinement in niv store began to tell on my health, and 1 felt that I was gradually breaking down. I tried several remedies, but obtained no permanent relief until I took Peruna. I felt better immediately, and five bottles restored me to complete health." A SINCERE RECOMMENDATION. Mr. D. C. Prosser, Uravo, Allegan Co..

New York Sun. Walking Round the World. Of late years quite a number of men have started to walk round the world, mainly with the object of win ning a wager. M. Georges Grandin, however, a French gentleman, who, having twice made a tcur of the world on foot, Is now about to begin a third journey, Is actuated by quite a different motive. He is a man of property and means, and the sola object of hi3 self-imposed and ardu ous task is the patriotic one cf pn moting the friendship of France among the various countries he visits.. Not only does M. Grandin not bet or live on charity during his journeys but he makes considerable profits b selling cn the way books and pamph lets recounting the Interesting Impres sions of his tours, and out of these profits he has already given a con siderable sum to a hospital In Ma own commune. One of his experiences was of a particularly thrilling character. While passing through Abyssinia he was taken for an Italian spy, manacled and imprisoned for a month. During, this time he was terrorized by Ms guards, but succeeded by a bribe 1 getting them to remove his chains. It was only after a march of tbrea hundred miles through a desert, dar ing which his guards threatened tc shoot him if he tried to escape, that M. Grandin came across one of Mene lek's officials, to whom he 'was able to explain his position, after which he was treated with every consider lion and respect. TK-Clts. Cheerfulness is one of the great miracle workers of the world. It re inforces the whole man, doubles and trebles his power, and gives new meaning to his life. No man is a fail ure until he has lost his cheerfulness, his optimistic outlook. The man who j carries a smiling face and keeps 1 cheerful ir the midst of discourage- j ments, when things go wrong, when the way Is dark and doubtful, is sure to win. SHOES AT ALL PRICES.
