BUILDING RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS Department of Agriculture Advisee Cutting Out of Grades on High ways to Save Horses. i Prepared by the t'nlted States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The average life of horses and au tomobiles may be increased and the cost of hauling reduced, according to the office of roads of the department of agriculture, by relocating many old roads and the more scientific laying out ef new ones. The natural tenden cy in road building is to build a straight road, whether It goes over steep grades or hills, or not, and pull ing over these grades naturally adds to the wear and tear on horses and vehicles. The doctrine of the office of roads Is that the longest way around may often be the shortest and most economical way home, and that frequently by building a highway around a hill or grade, but little appreciable distance is added and this is more than offset by the reduced strain of hauling. The chief drawback from the farm owner's point of view is that the lay ing out of roads on this principle of avoiding grades necessitates, in some cases, running the road through good farm land or orchards or pastures, in stead of going around the farm line and building the road through old worn-out fields and over rocky knolls. This, of course, must raise a question in the mind of the individual land ow ner as to whether the cutting up of his property by a road yields him in dividual advantages and so benefits his community as to offset the use of such land for a road, or to overcome the in convenience of having his land di vided In this connection the office of roads points out that the running of a road and the resulting traffic through a good farm, where there are good sheep, cattle, horses, grain, fruit or vegetables, has a certain advertising value and in many instances makes the land more valuable. In other cases, the importance of such a level road to the community is so great that it might well repay those using the road to give the farmer the equivalent In land equally good In place of what A Good Road in Wisconsin. he has sacrificed to the common wel fare. At any rate, the office of roads ts now taking special pains to make clear the economic advantage of avoiding steep grades in other roads, even at some sacrifice of better land. Inves tigation shows that the laying of such roads over hills has resulted more from attention to the preservation of farm lines than from scientific atten tion to the problem of road building. According to the testimony of farm ers consulted, where a horse might be able to pul! 4.000 pounds on a level road, it would have difficulty in pulling 3.000 pounds up a steep hill. The size of the load, therefore, tends to be measured by the grade of the largest hill on the road to market. In a num ber of cases actual experiment shows that the re-locating of roads around hills has been accomplished, either with ,no addition in road length in some instances, and with the adding of only a few feet to the highway in others. The office knows of no case where a properly re-located road which has cut out grades has led to any question as to its material reduc tion of hauling costs. THRESHED OATS FOR FOWLS Grain Will Sometimes Produce Crop Bound if Given Too Freely at First —Alternate With Mash. Threshed oats is fine for fowls, if fed intelligently. They will some times produce crop-bound if fed too freely when first fed. Almost any dry, bhlky rations will produce crop-bound when fed In large quantity. However, oats is a very valuable ration for fowls, but we would prefer to feed it alter nately with a mash food made of pure wheat bran, hominy feed and shorts. The standard weight for oats, says the Indiana Farmer, is 32 pounds to the bushel, but it mnst be remem bered that there is nd grain so vari able in weight per bushel as oats. Or dinarily oats when it approaches the standard weight per bushel makes fins poultry feed. You will find that tho fowls will refuse to eat fiber portion of oats—eating only the best of the grain. -—-—.1 Farmer Is Man Most Concerned. The making of good roads is one of the most important duties of the American people and their prompt re pair and careful maintenance is es sential. There is probably no subject in which the progressive farmer is more deeply interested than that of having roads connecting him with his markets over which he may be able to haul the greatest possible load. Good roads, like all other good things, are too expensive to build and of too much value to be neglected. Spring Wrap of Taffeta Silk OUR new styles are bewildering in | variety and draw their inspiration | from many periods of time. But the i early and mid-Victorian eras have j made themselves most strongly felt | even in competition with those beau tiful adaptations of the Greek draper ies which are incomparably graceful. In fact nothing really new has be come esiablished so far this season, and we are masquerading in costumes . some of which would make our grand- i mothers and our great grandmothers ! feel very much at home if they could revisit their earthly abodes. Many of the new wraps and gowns make no claim to being graceful. They depend for charm on the beauty of fabrics and their suggestion of the femininity of days gone by. The taffeta wrap shown here, made by Georgette, the wonderful, of Paris, is something like an old-fashioned dolman. Georgette's genius has man aged to make it fairly shapely, and al together it is about the most attrac tive of the many taffeta wraps to which we will have to become accus tomed. It is cut in the voluminous style which the mode demands and trimmed with narrow knife-plaitings of taffeta and an applied design of covered cord. A soft cable cord is used for mak ing it, and the taffeta is cut in narrow bias strips and sewed over the cord. One thing is demonstrated by styles like that shown here, and that is that women stick to the utterly feminine in the construction of their apparel no matter what excursions they may make into the worlds of business and politics. Therefore we shall see them trooping to the polls to vote in the most impractical and unbuslness like of clothes. It is the eternal fern inine again. Millinery Seen on the Promenade \ ON the promenade, at the five o'clock tea. and en route to the matinee one sees hats in all the new shapes and styles. With greater fre quency than any other the new sailor flaunts its charms in all sorts of beau tiful designs. Hats in this shape, with moderately large and high crowns, and brims nar row and almost straight, are to be seen in every color and variety of ma terial. and trimmed in all the trim mings known to millinery. This is | the new sailor shape, and one of those : lucky ventures of the hat manufac turers that take the feminine world by storm. Ribbons with small flowers or rib bons with fancy feathers and orna ments, prove to be the choice of the majority for trimming the sailor ' shape. It is a simple matter, too. to place the trimming successfully, and this hat has been a ready seller to those thrifty women who undertake j to make their own simpler millinery. This accomplishment, by the way, is quite the fashion, and is not confined to those women who wish to trim I their hats for the sake of economy alone. It is something of a fad with people who do not need to think of economizing, but who enjoy making up beautiful things of any kind. This amateur millinery does not hurt the business of the professional milliner.* There is no loss to her in selling a hat and its trimmings separately, and she takes no chances on the finished effort being pleasing to its owner. Besides, the amateur soon learns that it is only the simpler things that she can attempt with success. The sailor shown at the top of the picture, and worn with a lace veil is a smart af fair, which may be trimmed as well at home as in a shop. The remaining two hats are quite without the province of the home mil liner. One is a plateau of straw which must be wired to shape and mounted on a bandeau or cap to give the prop er poise. It is trimmed with wide blue ribbon and a full wreath of heather. A charming black hat is shown in the third picture. It suggests the Rembrandt hats which have been so popular. The small, Eat shape of black hemp i. bordered with a lace made of horsehair and wired with tiny, almost invisible wires. There is a broad spray of wheat at the left side of the low crown and a sash of moire ribbon tied in a full bow. The wide bandeau is trimmed with a cluster of six pink roses. It would be hard to find three hats that, in shape and poise and trim ming, set forth the best of the new millinery modes more clearly than those pictured here. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Ribbons in Infinite Variety. The new ribbons of this spring are lovely and of such infinite variety that one to suit any sort of hat may be found. For the swathing and draping of utility hats there are ribbons in plaids, in moire and fancy selvages, in shadow effect, or in tones ranging from green-gold to golden-brown, and In faille with selvage in fancy jacquard patterns. For the trimming of more elaborate hats—those worn at church weddings and at luncheons—are rib bons in hand-embroidered taffeta, in metallic brocades on liberty satin and in velvet brocaded on chiffon or gauze Camphor Ice. Camphor ice is easily made by melt ing mutton suet and adding camphor gum the size of a walnut to half a cup of melted mutton tallow. Blend them by stirring the gum until it has melted, pour the mixture into a small cup! When cold dip the bottom of the cup in hot water and the cake slips out. Wrap it in tinfoil to preserve the prop erties of the camphor. Good Cheer Aids Digestion of Food Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of the Family Happy by Using a Laxative-Tonic. The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table depend so much on the good digestion of each individual present that the experiences of some former dyspeptics who over came their trouble should be of inter est to those now suffering in this way. The best advice one can give—but it is advice that is seldom heeded—is to eat slowly and masticate each mouth ful carefully. However, If slow- eating and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature. Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent digestant. and in addition to helping in the digestion of the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumulation of w-aste that should long ago have been passed off. It is safe, reliable, pleas ant-tasting, and results are guaran teed. Maj. S. Martin, of Joplin, Mo., now 77. thinks Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin has helped him to a longer and hap pier life. He has not felt so good in years as he has since taking this ex cellent medicine, and in spite of his 77 years he says he feels like a boy. It is the ideal remedy for indiges tion. no matter how severe; constipa tion, no matter how chronic, bilious ness, headaches, gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar annoyances.

Genessee Ave.. Saginaw, Mich.—“Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me of a very bad disease of the face without leaving a scar. Pimples broke out all over my face, red and large. They festered and came to a head. They itched and burned and caused me to scratch them and make sores. They said they were seed warts. At night 1 was restless from itching. When the barber would shave me my face would bleed terri bly. Then scabs would form after wards, then they would drop off and the so-called seed warts would come back again. They were on my face for about nine months and the trou ble caused disfigurement while it lasted. “One day I read in the paper of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I re ceived a free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and it was so much value to me that I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment at the drug store. I used both according to directions. In about ten days my face began to heal up. My face is now clear of the warts and not a scar is left." (Signed) LeRoy C. O’Brien, May 12, 1913.

To his little native town a busy city man recently returned for a visit. As he had' not seen the place nor its peo ple for a long time, he was kept pretty busy- greeting old friends. Among those whom he encountered was an elderly spinster, who beamed upon him with: “Oh, Mr. Smith! I am sure you don’t remember me!” “Remember you!” gallantly ex claimed the city man, quite carried away by his wish to be friendly. “As if I could forget you, Miss Dixon! Why. you are one of the landmarks of the old town!” His Future Abode. In a Great Western railway carriage on the way up to London, a youth had disturbed and annoyed the other pas sengers by loud and foolish remarks coring a great part or the journey. As the train passed Hanwell lunatic asy lum he remarked: “I often think how nice the asylum looks from the railway.” “Some day," growled an old gentle man, "you will probably have occasion to remark how nice the railway looks from the asylum!"—London Chron icle. Had the Right Idea. Small Chris had been given a toy bank and was told to save all his pen nes. The nest day he said: "Mamma, please give me a quarter.” “What do you want it for?” she asked. “I want." replied the young finan cier, “to get it changed into pennies to save.” Its Kind. “How shall I 'play this pathetic coal mine song?” “In a miner key."
