'MILLIOHS WAIITED TO IMPROVE THE AMERICAN ROADS i Advocates of the deeded Improvement Are Being Ably Seconded by Agricultural Department. (10 SUBJECT CLOSER TO FARMERS' HEARTS

I Number of Good Roads Bills Introduced the Past Ses sion Shows Interest Farmer Takes. the (American News Service) Washington, August 21. One huntired million dollars for good roads; that Is the slogan of the advocates of ' magnificent national highways. They are being ably seconded by officials of the department of agriculture, who , says that no subject 1b closer to the heart of the farmer than that of good roads. In the opinion of the department, scarcely any one thing Is more conducive to the prosperity of the farmer, nor adds to the value of land as do first class roads. The best evidence that the farmer has taken this subject up is shown by the number of good roads bills introduced in the house during the extra session of congress recently adjourned. A Dozen Bills. More than a dozen bills were Introduced, each having for its purpose the betterment of the highways of the country. Representative Scott, of Kansas, who is chairman of the agricultural committee, is a strong believer in good roads and says that his committee will next winter take up the subject and give it careful consideration. It is probable that the committee will hold hearings to obtain facts and data that cannot but have good effect on the house. The agricultural department, which is the one executive department representing the interests cf tli farmers, has for several years b :v -a; 'Tp a public sentiment In f -Jarging and extending th" " vcys between states. The depart'!-' hs been ably assisted in this by I ha numerous automobile clubs of the country. During the recent extra session of congress thousands upon thousands of petitions from every section of the country were received by members urging legislation in favor of good roads. Many of the petitions pointed out that in certain states, where first class roadbeds, private business was good and the population in the country districts' prosperous and thriving. The advocates of good roads, in and out of congress say that it would be economy for Uncle Sam to spend 1100.000,000 or more with the states in the improvement of National highways, in that it would develop the business of the country and add to the prosperity-of the nation. Taft an Advocate. President Taft is an earnest advocate of good roads and may have something to say on this important subject in his message to congress next December. The manufacturers of autos in the United States have joined la this movement to facilitate by congress at the next session of one of the several highway bills. The statement has been made tiat with first class roads throughout the country, five'automobiles would) be in use as against one at present. In addition, advocates of good roads say that a marked Increase in the express business, by automobiles for short distances, would take place. The only opposition hinted at is said to come from railroads and express companies. It is admitted that level highways between cities of from 50 to 60 miles apart, now reached only by rail, would be easy of access by automobiles carrying about ' twenty passengers andi, of course,, such competition would unquestionably hurt railway traffic.

FELL IN WELL ON HUNT POOR ANIMAL WAS MERE SKELETON WHEN RESCUED BUT HE IS NOW ON THE WAY TO A FULL RECOVERY. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 21. Music, the high bred foxhound of Mr. Michael Hassett, in the Manchester district up in Carroll county, has just finished a thirty-seven days' fast at the bottom of a well and is still alive and eager for another chase after Sir Reynard. About six weeks ago Mr. Hassett and some friends were having a fox hunt at night. Music and the other dogs of Mr. Hassett's pack were in full cry. The chase was along the north side of Dug Hill and the baying of the hounds was a delight to the hunters. Music is the pick of the pack, and her tones were easily discernible. Suddenly they ceased altogether, and when the horn recalled the dogs she was missing. Valuable Animal. She is a valuable animal, and a strict search for her was instituted and continued day after day, but no trace of her could be found. She was as completely lost as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth, and that was precisely what she had dorife. In the forest where she was lost is an old clearing and an abandoned cabin, which was once supplied with water from a well forty-two feet deep, and Musjc was in that well for thirty-seven days without food. It had been covered, but the covering had rotted away, and in crossing it she went down. Mr. Clarence Theierset found her. Happening in the clearing, curiosity, led him to look into the well, which was almost dry. Music made her presence known in faint dog language and, procuring a ladder, Mr. Theierset went down into the well arid brought her to the surface. She was a living skeleton. Mr. Hassett was informed of the find and carried her to his home in his arms and she is now well on to full restoration to health and vigor. THE CRIME OF IDLENESS. Idleness means trouble for any one. It's the same with a lazy liver. It causes constipation, headache, jaundice, sallow complexion, pimples and blotches, loss of appetite, nausea, but Dr. King's New Life Pills soon banish liver troubles and build up your health. 25c at A.

Lea. member for South Dakota of the executive committee of the Dry Farming Congress, is arousing Interest among the farmers of this region in the international exposition of dry farm products which will be held at Billings, Montana, October 25-29 next, in connection with the fourth dry farmers congress. Mr. Lea states that Mr. Prather's dry farm garden, while surprising to those who do not know what has been accomplished in the west by dry farming methods, is not unique In South Dakota, but is an example of what hundreds of others are securing In results from ground which, a few years ago, was considered worthless except for grazing : purposes. The melons referred to above were grown without irrigation and Mr. Prather raised practically all other kinds of vegetables that are usujally grown in this latitude.

Mrs. Edith M'Cormick Says Children Don't Hamper Women

Chicago, Aug. 21. Reluctance on the part of some people of wealth to bear children because, they declare, babies hamper their social activities and impose too great a tax on their time and a burden on their energies, is Implied in an article by 'John D. Rockefeller's daughter, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, who describes motherhood as the greatest inspiration and blessing a woman can know and declares awakens a Joy and a love a woman never could otherwise know. In an article oa "What My Children Mean to Me" she has written for the forthcoming number of the Delineator Mrs. McCormick declares she finds motherhood "the fullness of living" and transforms every woman into "a queen." It brings a joy and a eontentedness not obtainable through any other gift and makes life seem a more glorious and cherished possession. She aserts that motherhood instead of hampering or restricting the activities of women, inspires and multiplies the opportunities for accomplishment and extreme happiness. "In the capacity of mother," she writes, the woman of beauty, of talent, of charm, of executive ability, of strong conviction, of artistic temperament, of high ideals, of broad intelligence, of commanding presence, of warm sympathy, of keen perception, ot deep feeling, of noble ambitions, of love of humanity finds her greatest glory. "It is only after we ourselves have felt, have suffered or have enjoyed that we can say 'I know.' Why, then, should we not welcome the unfolding PIE AT BREAKFAST Make the Gastric Glands Get Busy Early in the Day. DOCTORS APPLAUD IDEA Chicago, Aug. 21. Attention, dyspeptics! If you seek relief and long for the culinary propensities ejnjoyed by your epicure neighbor, eat large chunks of juicy pie for breakfast. This cure was prescribed by Dr. Charles McCormick before the third annual convention of the Association of Independent Doctors. The suggestion was applauded by the delegates. Dr. McCormick attacked the teachings of the "regular" medical profession, scored the use of drugs, and thus led up to the subject of that pastry made famous by the New England housewife. "Eat pie, eat all you want of it, and eat it for breakfast if you would have a good stomach," he directed. "Let the gastric glands begin their day's work with a good, big job and you will feel the better for it. Throw away breakfast foods, for they kill more people in one year than does all the alcohol that was ever manufactured into whiskey." "The man with a grouch is a queer specimen of humanity," said Dr. McCormick. "He continually is ill-tempered, goes about with a long face, apparently believing the world has formed a conspiracy against him. "What is the result? His mentality becomes warped, if you please, and by the tiem his 'grouch' reaches an acute state he may properly be classed among the mentally unbalanced. "When he becomes ill his mental conditions tell against him, and it is the experience of physicians who combine . psychology with medicine that the chronic ill-tempered man is a most difficult patient to handle." II. Y. YEARLY GRAFT New York, Aug. 21. George Theodore Bingham, former head of the New York police in an article in Hampton's Magazine for September, makes the assertion that a hundred million grafting blackmailing dollars change hands yearly in the metropolis, and that he could easily have made a million dollars any year he was In office. "The ability of Tammany hall rests and has rested for forty years upon its ability to control the police," . the ex-commissioner adds, "by fair means or foul. A strong, honest, fearless po lice commissioner supported by police magistrates of ability and integrity and a mayor big enough to conduct his - office without fear or favor, can sap and destroy Tammany Influence in ten years or even less, provided that he is empowered to dismiss and transfer his subordinates for cause, without recourse to the courts. "I do not believe I am unfair in estimating that from 1.500 to 2,000 members of the force are unscrupulous grafters whose hands are always out for easy money." BULLETS FLATTEN Hamilton, O., Aug. 21. Clutching a revolver in his right hand and lyin? in a pool of clotted blood, Jonas Strunck, aged 57, a hermit, was found unconscious in a hovel in. East Hamilton today. Although he had shot himself four times in the back of the head to commit suicide, the bullets flattened against his skull, inflicting mere scalp wounds. He is expected to recover. A year ago today Strunck was badly injured by being struck with a street car.

of the wonderful new world that comes to us after marriage and receive the fulness of the Creator's great gift?" Of the happiness of motherhood Mrs. McCormick says: "When we awaken to the realization that the baby in our arms is our own, that we have the right, the privilege the honor to be called mother, we find that something new is within us, a love different from any we have experienced before a pride,1 a Jealous care, a great overwhelming joy. "A little soul is loaned to us to love and care for. What great confidence God has put in our love and our wisdom to make us such a gift! "The child today wno lies in our arms, entirely helpless and dependent. Is going to grow and develop. We must

then bestir ourselves. Are we going to be prepared to meet each phase of development wisely and capably? Is the unfolding of this spirit to be met by an intelligent loving mind, ready to grasp, to guide, to advise? If this is so how wonderful is each moment of each day!" Of the often mentioned "sacrifices of a mother's life," Mrs. McCormick writes: "May I ask what sacrifice is? Is do ing what love prompts us to do ever a hardship or a deprivation? Are not the noblest deeds of life the deeds prompted by love? In our married life it is love which paves each day's path with roses, which makes the thorns in the way not less pointed but hurtless Has any queen a greater chance to make her individuality felt than we, each in her home?" TRY AVOID STRIKE "Peaceful Bill" Mahon Arrives On the Scene of the Trouble. HE CALLS A CONFERENCE (American News Service) Chicago. Aug. 21. W. D. Mahon"Peaceful Bill" international presi dent of the Street Car Employes' union, reached Chicago today and imme diately took charge of the labor side of the controversy, in the hope of averting the threatened strike of 10,000 car men. He declared that his purpose was to promote peace and avert war and refused to even discuss the possibility of a strike. He had not been in the city half an our before he made his first move and called a conference with the leaders of the North and West Side un ions. Later in the day he intended to see the South Side union chiefs and the leaders of the other sides of the controversy. President John M. Roach of the Chicago Railways company and President T. E. Mitten of the Chicago Citv Railway company. Finally he planned a consultation with Walter L. Fisher, the city's special representa tive in the traction controversy. Mr. Mahon's appearance won him the good opinion of those who met him. He appeared to regard the pres ent difficulties as by no means so serious as it appeared on the surface and the brief interviews he gave out confirmed his reputation for prudence and taking thought before action. A TOLEDO CARNIVAL Toledo, O., Aug. 21. The King Wamba Carnival, to be held here August 24 to 2S, is held under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of this city. Preparations have been go ing on for the last twelve months. The idea of the name of the carnival "King Wamba" is taken from the his tory of the city of Toledo in Spain. In the latter part of the seventh century there ruled in that city a monarch called King Wamba, who was the last of the Visi-Gothic Kings to rule in Spain. He it was who organized a great expedition to fight the Moorish hosts in Africa when they were plann ing an invasion of his country. It was during his reign that the fortification now called ' Melilla, where the present battle - is being waged, was erected. This fort was placed there in order to keep the Moors from attempting to cross the sea to Spain. FRITZ! AND HUBBY (American News Service) Lexington, Ky., Aug. 21. The noted actress Frits!

See Us First Get Free Piano Ninth and Main TO BUILD HOSPITAL New York. Aug. 21. Twenty-seven thousand persons scattered in 28 states wil contribute a fraction over 9c per month to build and maintain a tuberculosis sanatorium at Liberty. N. Y.t which is to be established by the Workmen's Circle, a National fraternal insurance organization. The State Charities Aid Association states that application has been made to Health Commissioner Porter to erect this sanatorium and if the application is granted, it is expected that immediate steps will be taken towards the erection of the hospital which will accommodate 40 patients. The yearly assessment of $1.10 for each of the 27,000 members will result in a fund of $29,700.00, flowing into New York State coffers. This scheme of assessing each member of an organization to support a tuberculosis hospital has been successfully tried in Albany where the tuberculosis pavilion, the first of its kind in the country, is supported by the Federation of Labor from one cent a week assessments. Further evidence of the modern tendency among insurance orders to preserve the health of their patrons is contained in the announcement Just made by the Provident Savings Life Assurance Society of the creation of a Health Bureau which aims to help the policy holders by (1) prevention of disease, (2) discovering disease in time to check or cure it. This is done through the medium of (1), Health Bulletins; (2) Correspondence; (3) Free Medical Examination every two years of such policy holders as request It President Rittenhouse says: "Every unnecessary death among policy holders adds to the cost of life insurance."
