It is: Nluminating to read' the causes; of death. In 1917-a typical year in which the figurea were not complicat-! ed by the war—14.2 of every thousand persons 'in the United States died; out of every hundred thousand deaths 1582 were from diseases of the heart, 1498 from pneumonia, 146.4 from tuberculosis, 1074 from kidney: trou- bles, 8289 from apoplexy, 81.6 from cancer, 79 from diarrhoea, 253 from digeases of the arteries, 17.2 from in- fluenza, 169 frém -dlabetes, 16.5 from diphtheria, 16.3/from bronchitls, 108.8 from-accldents of all sorts. Arterial. disenses. and diabetes show an in-| ~crease that is really alarming; for in' 1900 jonly 6.1 per- 100,000 died of the former and only 0.7 the latter. These, with those of the Leart and kidneys,! are diseases that result directly from! the strain and stress: of modern life. —Popular Science Monthly. c The Sick Miner. Judge Elbert H.

Patching 2 'Macadamized Rn;l in § ° ,Maryland, hag consistently followed this prac- ‘tice. The originally improved roads in Maryland were ‘cowmparatively in- expensive, costing only what the tax- payers were willing to pay for, The first few years the average cost was less than $10000 a mile. . In some cases the work 'entalled ' considerable grading and drainage, but in others it amounted simply'to resurfacing the old tyrnpikes, which had already been graded and dralned. Generally the ronds bulit at that time were jnacadam, 12 feet wide and six inches thick. Soon the width was Increased to 14 feet. Later many were wideneds still farther, some very successfully, by adding concrete shoul- ders on eath side of \the existing macadam. This method of improving roads makes it possible for traffic to rontinue unimpeded on the road while the work is going on. 'The macadam roads in Maryland have given very good satisfaction, but continuous cate has: been: largely re- sponsible for their success. The roads are conslnntly patrolled and no holé of ‘any size s -allowed to go unre- paired. Material for pateifing s kept at convenlient points. along the road for the use of the patrolman. From a relatively smnll: investment in an ad- mittedly low-type road fEibuflds up;a better one from -year.to year, always conserving the -bulk of the previous investment, KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER Federal Highway Commission Sug- gests That Special Efforts Be Made by State Officiale. It Is suggested by the federal high- way council that state and county highway departments make a special effort to keep the roads clear of snow ! during the winter months and thus permit of uninterrupted traffic. The | transportation of certain commodities s really more important during the winter than in summer and it is then that the roads are more difficult to pass over. Then, too, the rural mail must be carried whether ronds are good or bad, and when the snow drifts #everal feet decp over the roads the life of the rural mafl carrier is any- thing but pleasant. As the snow melts it transforms many roads into a mire that is almost impassable. On any road, no matter how good, there is a tendency for the melting snow to sott- en the subgrade and loosen the base under the wearing surface, thus caus- ing great damage to the road. Rond officials could do nothing bet- ter than to keep their equipment busy n the winter removing the snow from the road surfaces. . It is one form of maintenance work; that is very essen- tial in lengthening the life and use- fulness of the highways. BENEFIT TO SUBURBAN LAND One Advantage of Road Improvement Would Be to Open Up Territory for Homesteads. Another change in the use of land which may-result from road improve- ment, especlally near towns and citles, is to make it available for suburban development. This might better be -termed Increasing the home value of the land, and it will be found to ap- ply ‘where the land s retained for its original uses as well as where, fol- lowing road improvement, it is utilized 80 as to yleld a higher return on agri- cultural proddcts. The home value of land 1s one to be given consideration. Roadside Tree Planting. Roadside tree planting had best not Be In formal rows, but in groups or as a specimen tree at irregular inter- vals. Street trees should be In straight rows of the same species for ten or twelve blocks. Profit In Winter Eul The profit is made on winter eggs.
