in the plant, and J. W. Katon of
Red Oak, lovva, an expert ma

Better than
Spanking!
Spanking will not cure children of
wetting the bed, because it i3 not a
babit but a dangerous disease. The C.
H. Rowan Drug Co., Dept. B 10G3,
Chicago, 111., have discovered a strictly
harmless remedy for this distressing
disease and to make known its merits
they will send a 53c package securely
wrepped and prepaid Absolutely Free
to any ready of the Journal. This
remedy also cures frequent desire to
urinate and inability to control urine
during the night or day in old or young.
The C. H. Rowan Drug Co. is an Old
Reliable House. Write to them today
for the free medicine. Cure the afflicted
members of your family, then tell your
Tieghbors and friends about this remedy
til more permanent improvements
can hi! made, and to do so it be
came necessary to overhaul the
engines, and when one of them
was out of commission I he ac
cident inlerferred with the run
ning of the oilier, but the engine
that was overhauled is ready for
service again and the company
hopes to avoid any more such un
pleasant delays lo the service as
was had last week.
The fixing up of the machinery
of the plant ought to give the
patrons a more' steady voltage un
til Hie plant can be placed in a
more improved condition, such as
the new .owners expect to be able
to do in a short, lime. The cause
of I he break-down Saturday was
due to Die running hot of Ihe
crank pin in the engine, and with
Ihe engine Ihat has been Ihor
oughly fixed up and made ready
for service these small accidents
can be avoided.

The methods necessary to make

"The greatest enemies to good
roads are water, wind, auto

of speed and heavy traffic, too soon
after rains. It matters very little
how well the highway is built am

is it will hold water for days. An
ideal road would be constructed
is follows: Thirty feet between
litches, crowns two and one-half
feet above bottom of ditch, sub-
grade sand, with the top laer one
loot thick of a combination of
two-thirds gumbo and one-third
gravel mixed as follows: tine
layer of gumbo distributed evenly
three inches thick in half mile
Iretches; then one inch gravel
listributed evenly the entire
length; then the second and third
layer distributed the same way,
the surface to be thoroughly
dragged. The object of placing
the malerials in thin layers is to
thoroughly incorporate and pack
the saint and gumbo, as the'work
progresses by the action of the
wagon wheels and horses' hoofs
while hauling- back and forth.
"If a road is lo be built through
ovv or svvamcy ground the ma
terial would be too soggy for good
surface; then a coating (if gravel
could be hauled and distributed
about an inch thick when the
ground is damp after a rain. This
would soon work in and make a
good surface. All ditches should
have a slope on the outer side, as
well as the inside; no shoulders
should be allowed; the slope to
be one foot vertical to eight feet

can run lo keep the weeds down;
also, there will be less danger
from accidents by horses getting
frightened by automobiles and

or even pushing a wheelbarrow,
