ABOUT GOODS ROADS. The township trustees of the state are advocating the building of good roads throughout the state. What is needed, in Lake county at least, is rather the necessary provision for the protection and preservation of the roads already improved. To adapt the old saying that a stitch in time saves nine, It might be suggested that a load of limestone in time saves nine times nine. Lake county abounds in good roads that are going to ruin for lack of proper care. It Is the poorest kind of economy to crimp In the matter of re
pairing roads already laid down. It is a small matter to dump a load of lime
stone here and there, and roll It down with a steam roller a few times. It is a big undertaking on the other hand, to build and pay for a new road.
In connection with the building of new roads in Lake county, It might be here mentioned that the county has let contracts for several section line roads within the corporate limits of East Chicago. Work on these contracts
cannot be carried forward owing to the failure to dispose of the bonds at their proper value. There is one stretch of roadway along Chicago avenue from Railroad avenue to the canal, which is to cost $4,000. This stretch
of roadway has for years been the shame and disgrace of East Chicago,
There is no spot in Lake county where an improvement is more sorely
needed than in this little stretch.
Would it not seem that there might be some citizens in East Chicago
sufficiently public spirited to take up the bonds, or that failing, could not
the city shoulder them, or make up the difference between what they will
sell for and what they must sell for in order to have the work proceed? This amounts to but $200, as $3,800 has been offered, and $4,000 is re quired before the work can go ahead.
1 JSMB BE CAREFUL WITH THE OYSTERS.
Another incentive to attendance upon the festive oyster supper of church
social fame, is advanced by the experience of a Robertsdale man who is al
leged to have found a pearl valued at $300, in an oyster stew, or a pearl that
might have been worth $300had he captured it raw, instead of boiled.
The Robertsdale man did not find his pearl of great price within the
steaming fragrance of a church stew, but in a mercenary restaurant in
Chicago. That is no reason, however, why it might not have been found in a church stew, had the oyster to which it appertained, been Bold to the
ladles' aid society, instead of the boniface.
So it behooves those who would find a pearl, to patronize the church
social where oysters are to be had. But do not gulp down your stew or half dozen or dozen raws, as the case may be, too greedily. Scrutinize each
oyster with care. Roll the eucculant bivalve abput in your mouth, gently, before letting it slip down into the tub, until you ascertain that beyond the lawyer's reasonable doubt that there is no oysters there. Tls sufficiently sad to contemplate the fact that full many a gem of purest ray serene the dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear, without facing the possibility that some of these gems yielded up by ocean, may find their way into the caverns of the human stomach, which by a little screening have been more healthful and moi advantageously disposed in ring or scarf pin.
FINE SCHOOLS HAS GARY. With all the charges of mismanagement in her civic affairs, Gary can point to the fact that she has one of the best regulated educational departments in the country. It is the public school system. No charges of graft, incompetentey, inefficiency or favoritism have been laid at the schools. Not even the United States Steel corporation, which has the reputation of stretching a dollar to its most elastic limit, has gotten the value out of each hundred cents as the whole system has. The Emerson school
wa a costly affair, but it Is so cleverly planned that the erection of it and future buildings will save the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars,
not only In the construction, but later in the operation. Gary schools are not only held up as a model here, but abroad as well
One of the features of the successful school administration is that politics have been eliminated entirely from it. Only honesty, capability and ability have been the governing factors. If the other municipal departments were conducted on the same basis as the school system Gary would truly be
a model city.

litis, more popularly known as "infant paralysis."
As yet anterior-poliomyelitis is in the fashionable stage, its victims being for the most part confined to such places as Evanston, Wheaton and such like towns where wealth abounds. The vulgar herd has not yet fallen a prey to the ravages of the new ailment with monumental orthography. But mothers, aye and fathers too, in humble homes as well as in
the homes of wealthy, feel that in the disease, has arisen a new enemy to their children, and great has been the consternation even within the rather
unarUtocratic precincts of the Calumet region.
Now the best advice that even the doctors have to give upon that sub
ject is summed up in the following: Don't worry about these high-sound
ing names. . Keep your youngster warm and clean. Don't let him catch
cold and above all, DON'T WORRY-

THE POWER. OF SUGGESTION. "I am well." Do you appreciate what force may ba in such a declaration? Suppose, on the other hand, you should say "I am sick." You repeat the statement again and again. By and by you begin to believe it, aad you end the thing in bed. 'Yes; there is truth in "the new thought," "suggestive therapeutics" and all those modern cults that emphasize the power of the mind over the body. Not only does the mind affect the body; It affects itself. When one realizes this subtle power
of suggestion it will not do to say, "It makes no difference what one believes."." It matters' tremendously. It is a fact that persons attract illness to themselves by constantly thinking about it. Tbey fix images of
disease in the mind. They not only
