IT 18 A MISTAKE
Many hnvo tho Idea that anything
will sell It advertised strong enough.
Tula Is a great mistake. TrUo, a
tow sales might bo mado by advertis

but It Is only tho artlclo that Is
bought again and again that pays.
An oxamplo of tho big success ot a
worthy artlclo Is tho enormous salo
that has grown up for Cascarots
Candy Cathartic. This wondorful roc
ord Is tho result of great merit suc
cessfully mado known through per
sistent advertising and tho mouth-to-mouth
recommendation given Cas
carots by its friends and users.
Llko all great successes, trado pi
rates prey on tho unsuspecting pub

ASPHALT IS
London Engineer Recommends It
for Macadam Roads.
Points Puts Its Advantages Over Coat
Tar Spraying and Resists Weath-
lo More Durable and
Economical.
London. Cecil Nathan, an engineer
who glvos especial attention to road
making, expresses tho belief that Cu
ban asphalt 1b destined to tako tho
placo of tar as a binder of macadam
roads. Ho defines tho "essential de
siderata" of a satisfactory road aB
"smooth appearanco and evon surfaco
following tho camber of tho road,
which must bo sanitary, dustloss,
noiseless and nonsllppcry." Mr. Na
than also stipulates that the ideal
road must not only havo thoso quali
ties, but bo rcasonablo In Initial cost
and nbovo all in maintenance.
Many of tho present generation will
remember tho phrase, 'Eloctriclty is
only In Its Infancy,' " says Mr. Nathan.
"Well, today tho road board Is In ljts
Infancy, and I havo no doubt that It
will grow into as lino and healthy a
child as electricity did. Lllto othor In
fants, tho road board 1b just beginning
to speak, and tho first word that It
has been taught, Is tar.' Now I hopo
It will very soon grow up and learn
wordB of two syllables, such as
'asphalt,' and thon be ablo to expound
to road englnoors tho roal meaning
of this much misunderstood word.
"This is tho tar ago, and, as an In
different palliative, tar is serving its
purpose today as a temporary expedi
ent; but something much moro perma
nent than tho prlmltlvo methods of
tar Bpraylng or even tar macadam Is
required for tho futuro, and I maintain
that permanency will be obtalnod only
from tho adoption as watorproof road
crust binders ot either Lake Trinidad
asphalt or Cuban asphalt, but prefer
ably Cuban asphalt, owing to Its hav
ing a higher molting point and its
ability to withstand tho rotting effects
of water.
"Although this country may con
gratulate itsolf on bolng ahead of the
continont In tho matter of roads, It
still has a good deal to learn from
America, where asphaltum baso oils
aro used on a very largo scalo with
good rosults as a palliative for spray
ing on roads In prctorenco to crude or
roflned tar, such as Is In genoral uso
hero.
"Furthormoro, in America nBphal
tumB aro now nearly alwayB employod
as binders In constructing macadam
roads, and naturally this has thorough
ly demonstrated and proved tbat ns
phaltums aro far moro econdmlcul for
this purpose. Such roads, oven on
stcoplsh gradients, provldo a surfaco
which affords a good foothold for
horses and prevents motor skidding
also, owing to tho nature of tho bin
der, such roads remain qulot, elastlo
and resilient undor all oxtromos of
temperature and undor tho most try
ing mixed traffic conditions.
"Very Uttlo reflection 1b necossary
to convlnco even a layman In road
matters that coal tar varies too much
In quality and Is, per sc, far too sus
coptlblo to tho changes of cllmnto and
tomporaturo to bo of any real perma
nent sorvlco as a road binder. Not
only does it soften tho macadam in

summer, but also makes It brlttlo and
crack In winter, so that tar-bound ma
cadam' roads cannot bo cxpocted nnd
aro not likely In thoso clrcumstnncos
to withstand tho BtralnB to which they
aro subjected by fast and heavy mo
tor traffic for any period ot rcasonablo
length.
"Again, tarrod macadhm Is by no
means dustloss, and tho question has
recently been raised ns to whothori tho
dust from roads, whon treated with
tar, Is injurious to tho eyos, but ns
tarred dust, like ordinary dust, can
produco only a mechanical Irritation
upon tho mucous mombrnno of tho
eye, and In view of tho fact that tho
dust from a tarrod road Is nnturally
considerably less than from a road not
so treated, It Is therefore obvious that
tarring roads la likely to tend to di
minish tho chanco of Injury to tho
oyes.
"Climatic conditions havo so Impor
tant a bearing upon tho llfo of roads
It Is no exaggeration to say that at
least 50 per corjt. of tho wonr of water-bound
macadam roads Is duo to
weather that, knowing this, nnd ad
mitting that macadam Is tho right ma
terial for tho construction of main
country rondo, It Is necessary only for
tho road engineer to con3ldor tho best
mntorlal to employ as a watorproof
blndor capable of withstanding
climatic conditions for binding tho
crust of such macadam roads bo
as to mako each picco ot stono
ndhero to its noighbor nnd at
tho samo time be ablo to withstand
any tendency toward disintegration,
tho ideal blndor for tbls purpose bolng
Cuban asphalt."
