Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind BUILDING FINE ROADS Convicts Are Doing Good Work on Georgia Pikes Atlanta, Ga. —Just how effective the system of working convicts on the public roads is will be definitely as certained acting under definite in structions from the prison commis sion. On April first, last, the new convict law went, into effect and since that time many counties have been vigor ously at work building pikes. It is desirable to have information bear ing on the number of miles of new road built since then, the character and kind of road and the different kind of material used. The inspectors are, therefore, now working on this data, and will submit it to the com mission within the next few weeks. It is believed much general infor mation can be procured in this way, and that data of very great value can be compiled out of the experiences, both good and bad, of the various counties. Up to this time the com mission has been busied with system atizing the work, and getting the camps into working shape. On the wall of the commission aud ience chamber hangs a map, which shows the exact location of every county convict camp in the state. A green dot shows felony camps and red dots misdemeanor camps. There , are now 140 camps in the state, al though only 107 counties work con victs on the road. Thirty-nine coun ties, and the majority of these in I the northern part of the state where I the mountain counties He, are with out convicts, renting their quota to other counties. It is said, however, that the widespread good roads move j inent has Inspired several of these to I emulation, and in a short time they ' will demand their quota. Through the middle second of the state the map shows the camps stud i ded more thickly than anywhere else, some counties maintaining four, three and two camps. Road building is ad vancing very rapidly in this section, and the report from there is expected to be especially good. From the general reports made to the prison commission general results over the state from road building movements are very gratifying. Many counties are bending every resource for fine pikes, in many Instances sup plementing by large sums the orina ry expense of maintaining the con vict labor. It is the opinion of the commission ers that tlie reports to be made by the inspectors will be of groat value, and will make a showing that will bo In the nature of amazing to. many who have not kept posted on the movement. Very little trouble is reported at any of the camps and the general health of the convicts is excellent. CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO From the latest obtainable statis tics it appears that in France the con sumption is 2.2 pounds per capita: in England, 2 pounds; in Austria, 2.1* pounds; in Hungary, 2.4 pounds; in Hally, 1.1 pounds, and in the United States a little over 6 pounds for ev ery man, woman and child, or over 17 pounds for every male citizen over 16 years of ago. in other words, the consumption of tobacco in this coun try is from three to six times what it is in most civilized countries. Since 1870 the increase of per capita con sumption in the United States has been over 250 per cent., compared to’ 25 per cent for France and 56 per cent for England. Equally surprising is the difference in the revenue obtained from tobacco taxes by different countries. For in stance, according to a table prepared by the department of commerce and labor, the average combined Internal revenue and custom taxes on tobacco in the United States is 17 cents a pound; in Great Britain, 74 cents a pound; in Italy, 93 cents a pound; in Austria, 40 cents a pound; in Hun gary. 33 cents a pound; in France, 85 cents a pound. Last year we obtained $87,000,000 of revenue from tobacco. If the French taxes had been applied to our consumption, we would have received over $436,000,000. If the British taxes had been applied we would have re ceived $380,000,000. It is shown that if France had a per capita consumption equal to that of the United States and applied her present tobacco taxes, she would re ceive $200,000,000 a year instead of $75,000,000. The same process in Great Britain would bring $192,000.- 000 a year instead of $64,000,000. Many people delude themselves by saying “‘lf will wear away,” when they notice symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble. This is a mistake. Take Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and stop the drain on the vitality. It cures backache, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble, and makes every trace of pain, weakness, and urinary trouble disappear.

COTTON-SEED OIL AND MEAL Industry Has Become an Important Factor in Development of South Up to 50 years ago cotton seed had little or no commercial value, its pos sibilities not having been fully real ized; even 30 years ago, there were only 40 cotton-seed oil mills in the United States. It is only in the last 20 years, indeed, that the cotton-seed oil industry has become a vitally im portant factor in the economic devel opment of the south, writes Garnauit Agassiz in National Magazine. There are at the present time over 800 cot ton-seed oil mills and refineries in Ihe southern states, representing an investment of over $100,000,000. These mil’s have an annual output of $90,- 000,000, over $30,000,000 of which is shipped to foreign lands. Cotton-seed oil is fast coming to the front as a food for man and beast. In Georgia alone the number of oil mills in creased from 58 in 1901 to 130 in 1908, with a comparative value of $5,000,000 and $17,000,000. GIRL DESIGNS MONUMENT The design for the monument to the women of the ‘‘Lost Cause” has been completed. It is the work of a southern girl, Miss Belle Kin ney, of Nashville, Tenn., and has been accepted by several states. The central finite of the monument is the Goddess of Fame. At her right, a reclining figure, represents the self-sacrificing southern woman of the war time. Fame is represent ed as placing a wreath upon the southern woman’s head, while she supports at her left a dying aiui ema ciated Confederate soldier, to whom the southern woman is extending the Palm of victory in death. Miss Kinney is but 22 years of age and is already a sculptor of more than national fame. She was recent ly awarded the contract for a hero ic statue of the late Senator Edward Ward Carmack, of Tennessee. She received her education in art at the institute at Chicago.

Washington, D, C. —Several years ago it occurred to a practical sci entist of the United States depart ment of agriculture that some of the best managed farms in different sec tions might be made to serve as ob ject lessons. The first fruit of this idea was the published account of “A Model Farm” in Pennsylvania, which attracted wide attention. Since then a number of popular bul letins have been issued describing succesful farms in different sections and outlining their management. The list to date includes “A Suc cessful Hog and Seed-Corn Farm” in Illinois; ’“A Profitable Tenant Dairy I Farm” in Michigan; “A Successful Southern Hay Farm” in South Caro lina; “A Successful Dairy and Poul try Farm” in Washington, and , "Small Farms in the Corn Belt.” | The latest bulletin of this class (Farmers' Bulletin No. 364) gives an acount of a “Profitable Cotton Farm” in South Carolina. The farm in question was in 1902, when its present owner took possession, an old run-down cotton farm. Now it is fertile, well improved with fences and farm buildings, and is producing crops which yield the owner a large income and a handsome profit. All this has been accomplished by deep, and thorough cultivation of the soil, by the use of barnyard manure and some commercial fertilizer, by rota : tion of crops, and by the industry and good judgement of the farmer himself. This farm contains 132 acres, only | i half of which is planted to crops, The farmer has divided his tilled land into three equal fields on which he raises corn, oats and cotton, in j succession. Before he took the farm it was producing only 5 to 8 bushels of corn or 300 pounds of seed cotton ito the acre. The first year he made it produce one and one-half bales of i cotton and 37 bushels of corn to the acre. Now his yields per acre are two and one-half bales of cotton, 85 bushels of corn and 80 bushels of j oats. He keeps about 24 head of native I cattle, mainly for the sake of the manure, although they yield him a small profit besides. These Farmers’ Bulletins are for distribution by sen ators and representatives, as well as by the department. TO RAISE $200,000 IN CENTS Farmer’s Suggestion to Celebrate An niversary of Rural Delivery. A novel suggestion was made to Postmaster-General Hitchcock at Washington the other day for away in which properly to celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of the estab lishment of the rural free delivery. A Missouri farmer wrote Mr. Hitch cock that he had seen in the news papers that the department was at a loss to know what would be a fit ting way to observe the establish ment of the rural service. His plan would be to have every patron of the service give a cent to the rural carriers, the money so collected to constitute a fund for some worthy charity like the estab lishment of a home for children. As there are 20,000,000 rural free de livery patrons the adoption of the Missourian’s plan would yield a fund of $200,000. The Burning Question.

Reaching the North Pole is but one of a series of con quests which has been crowded into a period of hardly a century in length. The Boston Globe presents this list: Americans were the first to dem onstrate the feasibility of relying on a citizen soldiery to defend the land and its institutions against foreign or domestic attack. ‘ | Americans were the first to abol- I ish titular distinctions and to deprive j social eminence of any support save I character or the consencus of those I who choose to consided themselves as socially elect. It was an American who invented the steamship. An American invented the tele graph. An American invented the tele phone. An American invented the electric light. An American invented the reaper, which makes it possible to feed the billion and more people on this plan et. It was an American, too, who in vented the sewing machine. Americans also were the conquerers ct pain when they discovered how, by means of sulphuric ether, the : tenderest of humean nerves be made insensible to the surgeon’s steel. Americans opened the ports of Ja pan to the nations of the world, mads a path into darkest Africa, and now two Americans crown the geographi cal achievements of their country men by discovering the north pole.
