The following from the Ohio Motor¬
ist is too good and practical for anyone
to pass it unnoticed. It refers to The
Appian Way, built by one of the Cae¬
sars 300 years before Christ and runs
from Rome, via Capua, to Brandisi.
This highway made Rome the greatest
city of the world in its time. It is
still bearing the burdens of commerce
and is the wonder and admiration of
tourists.
Wo w ill go you a bet that “Old Cae¬
sar” used lots of Clay Culvert and
Drain Pipe on this road and that much
of it, is in a good state of presesvation
and doing duty today, after the passing
of more than 66 generations from the
earth.
No city, country, section or common
ity, has ever flourished enduringly
without good roads, and never will.
“When Caesar took a westward ride
And grabbed the Gauls for Rome,
What was the first thing that lie did
To make them feel at home?
I>id he increase the people’s loads,
And liberty forbid?
No, he dug in and built good roads—
That’s what old Caesar did.
“Did Caesar put the iron heel
Upon the foeman’s breast,
Or did he try to make them feel
That Rome rule was the best?
What did lie r, '. v to make them glad
II e came their lands amid?
lie built good roads, in place of bad—
That's what old Caesar did.
“He built good roads from hill to hill,
Good roads from vale to vale;
lie ran a good roads movement
Till Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home,
Build roads their ruts to rid,
Tntil all roads led up to Rome—
That’s what old Caesar did.
*
“If any town would make itself
The center of the map,
Where folks will come and settle down
And live in plenty’s lap;
If any town its own abodes
Of poverty would rid,
Let it go out and build good roads—
Just like, old Caesar did.”
What are you going to do about it?—

Mistakes About
Ailments Of Animals
DR. W. M. BURSON, Prof. Vet. Sc.,
Ga. State College Of Agr.
WOLF TEETH—BLIND TEETH!
Occasionally horses and mules are
found to have small supernumerary
teeth just in front of the first molars
—Jaw teeth. There is a populaF su¬
perstition that these extra teeth are
a cause of eye diseases and blindness.
There is no foundation in fact for this
belief. There is nothing to it. It is
ridiculous. The blood supply of the
teeth is entirely distinct and sepa¬
rate from that of the eyes. There is
no direct connection between the
eyes and teeth as far as the nerves
ire concerned. As a matter of fact,
some horses and mules have seven
molar teeth instead of the normal
number of six. The small “wolf
tooth” is simply the evidence that
ihere was a tendency toward the de¬
velopment in that particular animal
of an extra number of teeth. Such
extra teeth have absolutely no con¬
nection with the occurrence of eye
diseases.
Hooks! The horse needs three eye
lids in each eye and has them. All
animals not provided with fingers have
this extra structure in connection with
the eye. It is nature’s method of
providing something for the removal
of foreign particles from the surface
of the eye. In nervous diseases the
“haw,” or third eyelid, is seen to pro¬
trude over the surface of the eye
to a varying extent. In eye troubles
it is also seen to cover a considerable
portion of the eye. If your horse is
unusually nervous and exciteable,
somewhat stiff in the limbs and has
the "hooks,” you had better call your
veterinarian as the disease is likely
“lockjaw.” Lockjaw, of course, is a
very dangerous disease and unless
treatment is prompt is apt to be fa¬
tal.
Grave Damage To Pine
Timber In the South
_
J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
Wherever one travels in the south
there is noticed small groups of dead
or drying pines. Often in midsum¬
mer the leaves turn yellow and fall,
leaving the trees bare. As a rule this
damage is due to the southern pine
beetle (Dendroctonus fontalis), a
small beetle about a quarter of an
inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works in the cambium layer. If
enough beetles are present the tree
is girdled and gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera
ble distances by the odor of the fresh¬
ly cut wood and attack the surround¬
ing trees. The cutting of even one
tree in a group of pine is sufficient to
attract the beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber is
confined to the upper portions of the
stem; on felled timber, it works on
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to the win
ter months when both trees and bee¬
tles are in a dormant state, if cut
ting in the summer is unavoidable,
the slashing should be destroyed by
firing. Beetles in infested timber may
be destroyed by peeling the bark and
burning it or by submerging the logs
in water and destroying the slashing,
The Plow that Sheds where Others Fail
X'..
Because it is lighter draft and sheds soil no other Chilled Plow will.
In a word, it has proved to be a short cut to satisfaction^^
Made in series suitable to all soils, sticky, loamy, and clay, for one
and two horses. Has two bolts in share and an extra long beam.
This plow has “talking points” all its own, and they have stood the
test of time and competition.
Every plow is warranted to give perfect satisfaction.

A PROTESTANT VICTORY.
Sometimes people will tell you that
it is a waste of money to send mission¬
aries to Roman Cathloic countries;
they have the gospel, but without re¬
ligious liberty for which Americans
have shed their blood and given their
lives slowly it has been written in
blood In the constitutions of the Amer¬
ican Republic.
Peru is the last to join her sisters.
Bigotry dies hard. Retreating from
m
trench to trench it made its
last stand in the recesses of the Andies,
and there in Lima, in the very building
from which the .Spanish Inquisition
sent more than one hundred and fifty
victims to the stake, the Peruvian Sen¬
ate gave rligious liberty to Peru, after
a struggle lasting more than twenty
years. I cannot do better than to give
you an account of the birlliant victory
in the words of Bishop Stuntz:
“Enraged at the success of the medi¬
cal missionary near Lake Tilicaca a
Roman Catholic Bishop took the police
out to the mission, had over thirty men
and women arrested, tied to a long
rope, and marched them to jail. This
lit a conflagration. Public sentiment
burned against a law which authorized
such an outrage. Public meetings
were held and petitions were sent to
the capital which set the prisoners
free, and the senator from that district
was ordered to present a bill to repeal
the old law of intolereuce or lose his
scat. Ilis bill passed to his great sur¬
prise within ten days of its first read¬
ing by an overwhelming majority. Be¬
ing an amendment to Constitution, it
needed to be confirmed by a two-thirds
vote in "a subsequent year.”.
In 1914 it. was smothered in a com
mittee, but last November it was tri¬
umphantly passed by both houses of
Congress. Then the President refused
to sign it. After the lapse of the Con¬
stitutional number of days it was again
passed and became effective from Dec.
1, 1915.
Driven to bay, the Romanist lead¬
ers fought desperately. They flooded
the city and nation with misleading
pamphlets. They organized the women
and had them stay for days in the ca¬
thedral and near-by churches ready to
storm the Senate and house of Depu¬
ties when the bill came up for its final
passage. At the signal they rushed to
the hall, sent for their brothers and
husbands who were members, and
shouted "Viva la Iglesia Romana.”
A priest more agile and daring than
the others, leaped over chairs and
seized the bill from the hand of the
member who was reading it for its final
passage, tore it into scraps shouting at
the top of his voice, “Death to the
Masons! Down with the Protestants!”
But the bill was passed. This one vic¬
tory alone is justification for all the
expenditure of money and life in South
America by the Protestant churches
from 1836 to 1916.
1 Thus religious liberty was granted to
the last nation west of the Atlantic
Ocean. Now let us send them the pure
gospel.

Pyorrhea Alveolaris is character¬
ized by an inflammation of the gums.
The disease is chronic in its duration
and results in the ultimate loss of the
teeth, if not treated.
This disease can bo cured by the
proper treatment, which consists of a
local treatment given in connection
with a systemic treatment.. I have
obtained fine results with a large num¬
ber of cases. See me about this dis¬
ease.
