Adv. DISEASE ON THE DECREASE Association for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis Has Good Reason to Be Proud. Whllo tho latest report of tho bu reau of census shows that In 1914 tuborculosls caused ovor 10.5 per cent of all deaths in th6 registration area of tho United States, tho National As sociation for tho Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis points out in a state ment that tho doath-rato from this dlseaso Is steadily decreasing, having declined from 200.7 per 100,000 popula tion in 1904 to 14G.8 In 1914. This would indicate, tho association claims, that tho antituberculosis movement or ganized in tho last ten years is hav ing a marked effect on tho mortality of tuborculosls, especially since tho death rato from this dlseaso seems to bo declining moro rapidly than tho goneral death rato from all causes. Commenting on this decrease In tho rato from tuborculosls, tho bureau of tho census says: "As a rosult of a moro goneral understanding o' tho laws of health, tho im'portanco of fresh. air, otc, duo in part, no doubt, to tho efforts of tho various soclotlcs for tho provontlon of tuberculosis, there has boen a most marked and gratifying docrcaso during rocont yours In tho mortality from this scourge of civili zation.

CHICAGO-MIAMI MOTOR ROAD Details of Work In Various Localities Progress Made In Construction Is Remarkable. That tho Dlxto highway Is a road that has appealed to tho pcoplo both North and South of tho Mason and Dixon lino io evidenced by u report from tho offices of the Dixie highway association, located at Chattanooga, to tho effect that fifty counties alona havo spent moro than $1,705,200 on tho Chlcogo-Mlnml motor thoroughfare in tho last six months and aro preparing to spend $0,931,000 during the coming year, writes J. C. Burton in Chicago Dally News. As tho fifty counties reporting to tho association represent loss than a third of tho total counties that aro crossed by tho road that links North and South, It would not bo unreason able to estimate that approximately $5,300,000 has been expended on tho Dlxlo highway to dato and that $20, 793,000 will bo used to put tho thor oughfaro in shapo in 191G. When it is considered thnt tho Dlxlo highway was routed only eight months ago, tho progress mado in its construction is remarkable. Tho largo mileage of permanent roads built or under contract is an indication ot tho wonderful advancement mado In such a short timo. The fifty counties re ferred to report that nearly ono-tonth of tho dlstanco either is paved or will bo paved before another year rolls around. Using only a multiple of two to represent tho other 112 counties, it can bo seen that a good part of tho road is or will bo of a permanent tyiw of construction. Tho preparations bolng made for even greater progress along this lino aro highly gratifying to tho officials ol tho Dixio highway association. Sev eral divisions of the thoroughfare aro planning paved roads for their entire Btretch, tho most notable of these be ing tho links from Chicago to Danville, 111., from Toledo to Cincinnati, O.; from Jacksonville to Miami, Fla., and from Tallahassee to Bartow, Fla. Tho reports by states Bhow that In seven out of tho eighteen counties of Kentucky thoro has been expended $135,000. In Ohio, eight counties out of twelve and exclusive of Hamilton county, of which Cincinnati is tho county seat, havo spent $338,000. Fivo counties out of twenty-two in Florida Bpent $601,000 on the Dixie highway Typical Concrete Bridge on Dixie Highway In Tennessee. In the past six months. Four counties out of fivo in Illinois, not including Cook county, report a total of $252,000 for road improvement Ten counties out of twenty-four in Georgia spent $95,000. In tho fifty counties reporting to tho association provisions have been mado for spending $G,931,000 on the Dixio highway in 191G. This amount is di vided by states as follows: Florida $2,505,000 Illinois 1,250,000 Ohio 1,204,000 Tennessee 924,000 Kentucky 705,000 Georgia t 151,000 Indiana 12C.O0O CARE FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN Compelling Helpless Child to Force Its Way Along Mud-Fouled High way Is n Crime. All good roads lead to a schoolhouso. In good roads thero is a consideration of tho school child. Compol a helpless child to force Its way along a mud fouled thoroughfaro and a crlmo is committed. Its health is endangered and its mind is dwarfed. Ho who would not atrivo to overcomo a ca lamity it not civilized though garbed In tho broadcloth of nn honored clti zen. A community should, nbovo all, consider tho school children's welfare Tho destiny of a nation rests in this careful study and tho thoroughfaro along which, their little feet must travel cannot bo constructed with too much precision to gain tho happy re sult.

One result of nearly every farmer owning an automobile Is that he pricks up his ears when good roads aro mentioned. HIGH PRICES no crops And Good Demand for All Farm Products. It is no now oxperienco for settlers located in a fcrtilo country such as Western Canada, whero lands may bo bought at very roasonablo pricos, to harvest a crop that in ono season pays- tho entire cost of their farm. Undoubt edly this was tho exporlenco of many- farmers during 1915, but ono Instance may bo quotbd. A settlor who camo to Canada from the United States some years ago decided to add to his holdings by buying an adjoining quar ter section near his home at Warner, at $20.00 an aero, with terms spread over a period of years. He got the land into a good stato of cultivation and last spring put tho wholo quartor section in wheat. When tho crop was threshed ho found that it only took half the wheat on tho farm to pay tho wholo purchase price of it; in Bhort a single year's crop paid the cost of tho land, paid all tho expenses of op eration and loft him a handsome sur plus as profit. This settler had somo adjoining land, and his wholo wheat :rop for the season amounted le aver 18,000 bUBhels. Ho is now plan ning to obtain somo sheep and invest his profits in live stock which will as sure him a good living Irrespective of ivhat tho season may happen to bo. Canada's financial position is ox ollent. All speculation has been elim inated, and trading is dono on a cash oasis, with restricted credit. Detailed figures of Canada's trade for twelve months ending October 31 show how tho war is forcing Canadian trado into new channels. Ono of tho most extraordinary changes is in com merce with tho United States. A. :ouple of years ago Canada imported from tho United States two or three- hundred million dollars' worth of goods moro than she exported. Tho balance of trado was all with tho United States. Tho balanco is rapid ly disappearing, and tho present out look is that by the end of this year Canada will havo exported to tho United States moro than sho has im ported. Tho figures for tho past four years are illuminating. They aro as fol lows: Exports. Imports. 1912 $145,721,650 $412,057,022 1913 179,050,796 442,341,840 1914 213,493,406 421.074.52S 1915 314,118,774 346,569,924 Four years ago, in 1912, the balanco of trado in favor of tho United" States was no less than two hundred and Bixty-soven millions, and this year, tho balance is reduced to only thirty-two millions. Tho figures are extraordinary and reflect the changed and new conditions in Canada, It looks as if for tho first timo in nearly half a century this year Canada wiir sell moro to the United States than sho will buy from the Americans.
