Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made me a well woman after all other means had failed.

Nevada Investigates New Plan’ For Streets. The Nevada Post says thatseveral elty officials of that place went to Kansas City to inspect the ofled as- phalt roads in that city and !n Jack- eon county. The Standard Otl Co., furnished two large automobiles for the com- mittee to ride in while inspecting the roads. A drive was first taken over the roads sprinkled with ofl. The automubile made no dust whatever at aspeed of 25 miles an hour. A block of ground that had been treat- ed with asphalt oll four years ago was driven over. It was as hard and compact as an asphalt street. The Standard Oli experts stated to the committee that’ no work had been done on this block of ground since it was treated with the asphalt oll except that {t was rolled occa- sfonally to keep it in shape. In the centre of the road where the travel is done {t was found to bein perfect condition. On the sides where travel was not 60 heavy the road was not in as good condition. The more a road of this kind is traveled, the bet- ter 16 becomes. On this block of ground hundreds of heavily laden wagons and trucks pase daily and do not injure the road a particle: These kinds of roads are built in the following way. The road ts plowed up to a depth of 6 or 8 inches, then the dirt is pulverized. A sprink- jer similar to the one used on the streets of this city {s filled with the asphalt ofl, warmed before it is tak- en out of the tank cars and then sprinkled over the pulverized dirt. About three gallons is used to the square yard. After the sprinkling of the ofl over the streets, a heavy roll- er like the one now used by the city ie rolled over the newly made street. Traffic ie prohibited for 48 hours and then the street can be used for an indefinite number of years with- out ever getting in bad condition. Water runs off a street treated with this process like water off a duck’s | soem again and the street {es not in jured in the least.

It did not seem pos- sible! - Before he knew it she had tossed “Nellie, is it claimed. “Sure! But say, Jack, why didn't you telephone instead of wiring? You know I have a long-distance right in room.

Why | didn't you let me know? I’ve been thinking of you all these years as a demure little country girl with a broken heart. Am I in a dream? Everything has changed. Can this be really you? What has happened?” “Nothing but a real estate boom, my dear.

The world pro- duces annually 3,840,000,000 busb- els of corn. The United States pro- duces 2,575,000,000 bushels, or more than three-fourths of the entire crop of the world.

Under the new arrangement the immediate re port will be repeated to every ship anywhere in the vicinity of the danger, and extra precaution can be taken to avoid it. Incidentally the work of our gunboats and revenue cutters which destroy many derelicts will be made the easier by the constant existence of an up-to-date map of floating wrecks corrected to within a few hours, which will enable them to proceed directly to any flotsam in the usual ship lanes and remove all danger. Wireless telegraphy is performing a great service for hu- manity. When the wireless telephone is perfected, and it is developing won. derfully, the possibilities are still more marvelous, and the public may expect large reductions in long-distance com- munication costs, An Atchison girl had a proposal of marriage one recent Sunday night, and asked a week to think it over, says the Atchison Globe. She went to all of her married sisters, One, who used to be a belle, had three children, did all her own work, and hadn't been to the , theater or out riding since she was married, Another, whose husband was a promising young man at the time she was married, was supporting him. A third didn't dare say her life was her own when her husband was around and a fourth was divorced. After vis- | iting them and hearing their woes the | heroine of this little tale went home, got pen, ink and paper and wrote an answer to the young'man. You may think it was refusing him, but it wasn't. She said she could be ready in a month, American engineering genius has St. Vincent, devastated frequently by hurricanes and by the eruption of the big volcano Soufriere. One result has been to affect the distribution of water so se riously that agricultural pursuits, upon which the people depend, have become almost impossible. An American en. gineer has perfected a system by which water can be supplied to places where it is most needed and the con- sequence is likely to be a great re sumption of activity and renewed pros- perity for the islanders. Thus does practical American ability add to the benefits assured to humanity, ———eEeE——_ From late accounts, the action of the crowd prince of Servia in resign- ing his right of succession to the throne was more prudent than heroic. It was like the action of the well-bred dog in the play who walked with dig nity downstairs whenever he saw prep- arations being made for throwing him into the street. Now, it appears, the throne will be vacant, anyhow, and probably hawked around among the royal families of Europe as a not over. productive national asset. Vera Cruz reports that her harbor has been injured by the recent earth- quakes, which seem to have lifted the bottom. Ships that were formerly able to steam in safety to the costly new docks at that port now touch bot- tom when drawing 24 feet of water. It Is fortunate for Vera Cruz that the seis- mic disturbance didn’t lift things far- ther and form an island in the harbor, and thus seal up the port permanently. Island painting is a new industry in Florida. The high price of land along the west coast was raised, so the en- terprising citizen there started to raise islands to match the rea) estate prices. Nature must be getting astonished at the way she is being shoved out of human way as entirely too slow for modern business methods. A foreigner in Massachusetts apply- Ing for naturalization is evidently do- ing his best to keep up with contem- porary history as studied through cur- rent journalism. When asked what were the duties of the president of the United States he replied, “To superin- tend congress.” The provision of the anthliquor bill ananimously passed by the Utah sen- ate that liquor must not be sold to wnyone who has been drunk within six months may do something toward in- creasing the sale of pocket calendars in Utah. It is unfair to judge the tropies by the nearest samples. Mixed blood, the effects of long centuries of slavery, and other conditions, have prevented the West Indies from having a decent hance. _—_—_———_—— If cold storage eggs are so superior, why don’t the dealers then insist upon using the cold-storage brand, so that none need make the mistake of buying eggs fresh from the farm?

CEMENT, PLASTER, BUILDING MATERIAL Portland Cement is made in so many diffeent ways and by so many different firms—some reliable, some not—that it takes an experienced buyer to detect the good from the bad. Of course after you use it and it har been in your building, sidewalk or foundation a few years you can tell whether you bought the wrong cement or not. But do you want to wait until you have built your house to find out if the cement that went in your foun- dation was good or bad? WE THINK YOU DO NOT. So we have an experienced buyer who devotes devotes all of his time in buying our CEMENT and BUILDING MATERIAL. He buys the BEST material on the market, Cement that shows the most strenght and lasting qualities and will therefore stand the test of time. Our plaster is bought with the same care as to quality and hardness. Building Material, Galvanized Iron, Shingles, and Lumber, Sand and Gravel. LOGAN-MOORE LUMBER CO., BUTLER, MISSOURI H. H.
