Improvement of a City.
► Paris has learned by experience
that city Improvement pays. The
■work of reconstruction and beautify
ing undertaken by Baron Haussmann
"when he became perfect of the Seine
in 1853 cost about $265,000,000, one
* third of which sum was provided by
T the national government, the remain
ing two-thirds ‘being furnished by the
city.
The expenditure was tremendous,
but the wisdom of making it never
has been seriously disputed.
Further costly but valuable bene
fits^for Paris are now planned. Rec
ently the French chamber of depu
ties authorized 'the municipality to
incur an indebtedness of $180,000,000
•for another elaborate scheme of im
provements, including the demolition
of insanitary quarters, the construc
• tion of new streets, gardens and
schools and other public works.
Ajnericans are accustomed to boast
of their enterprise. This boasting I
may be justified as to undertakings
of a private nature. But in the mat
* ter of public improvements American
municipalities lag behind the more
progressive cities of Europe.—Chica

Big Shell Took a Rest.
Oqe of the most remarkable inci
dents on record of the erratic ac
tion of a projectile has just taken
place in connection with the battle
practice of the Ocean on the Medi
terranean station. Firing had taken
place with a G-inch shell at a range
of 8,000 yards, and when the umpires
made an examination of the target
' they were surprised to find a shell
resting on the wooden base. It is
no uncommon occurrence for a
shell to become embedded in the
/structure which carries the target;
. f but in this instance the missile was
* quite free. The only plausible tffe
ory of this is that the shell on be
ing fired fell short; then ricochetted,
and finally managed to reach the tar
get before its energy was completely
exhausted. Naturally the shell is
looked upon as a curiosity, and as
such it is proposed to send it to one
of the gunnery schools. —London

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
It Makes For Health.
A man tried leaving off meat, po
tatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at
once for the reason that a meat eater
will reach a place once in a while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery doesn't
work smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
[up food and drink of the highest
value, already quickly digested and
capable of being quickly changed into
good, rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape-
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
[ ash grown in the grains from which
it is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
soft gray substance which fills brain
and nerve centres.
A few days’ use of Grape-Nuts will
L give one a degree of nervous strength
’ well worth the trial.

NAME THE COUNTRY ROADS.
Increasing Density of Farm Popula
tion Makes Necessary Better Means
of Locating Residents.
By J. A. ANDERSON.
Anent the use of the rural free
mail delivery, telephone, parcel post
and any and all other conveniences
that go to make farm life happier
and better, I thought I would like to
suggest a convenience which could
be carried out by the county commis
sioners of each county at a small
expense, that would do more to in
crease the pride of the rural com
munity than any other that I can
think of.
For the convenience of the public
it ought to be as easy to locate a
farmer’s residence in the country as
a city man’s residence in the city.
Let the country life commission in
clude in its recommendations that a
road that runs from the east to the
west be called a “road” (or some
other name).
A road that runs from north to
south be called an “avenue.”
A road that runs from the north
east to the southwest might be called
a “pike.”
A road that runs from the north
west to the southeast be called a
“highway” and all others called
“lanes.”
In other words, that the public
highways of our country should be
called such names as would indicate
the direction in which they run and
named alphabetically and numbered
numerically. Then the farm houses
could be numbered and the rural de
livery numbers that we now have
changed to the farm number.
This would assist the rural delivery
and the telephone very much to citi
fy the country and our merchant
houses would soon be distributing
country road directories for the ben
efit of all.
Now I believe that if the big pa
pers of the country would take up
this matter there would be created a
sentiment throughout the country
which would bring about a complete
reformation, or rather the establish
ment of a system of naming country
highways which would in time be
come general.
It would probably require enact
ments by the State Legislatures to
bring about a complete system of
this kind, starting with the various
counties. The main expense attached
to it would be guideposts at every
section corner, and this would be so
insignificant as to cut no figure when
compared with the great benefit, not
alone to the farmers, but to the Gov
ernment in the rural route mail deliv
eries and to merchants and travelers
elsewhere.
Wider Wagon Tires.
Necessity for a law requiring the
use of sufficiently wide wagon tires
to prevent the cutting up and rapid
destruction of improved and sur
faced roads is forcibly urged in a let
ter from Hon. Frank Sheffield, chair
man of the board of county commis
sioners of Sumpter County.
Chairman Sheffield writes to thank
The Constitution for the prize
awarded to Sumpter County for the
best roads between Albany and Ma
con, on the Albany-Atlanta good
roads automobile run, and includes
a word of praish for the work The
Constitution has done in the further
ance of this important State move
ment.
One of the things which impresses
Chairman Sheffield most as needed
for the protection and preservation of
the roads is wider wagon tires.
The Constitution has heretofore
.urged the importance of some action
looking to this end, and that it must
soon come cannot be questioned.
.As Chairman Sheffield points out,
when the roads are graded and sur
faced, “the tendency is to increase
the load, and the narrow tire becomes
more destructive than ever.”
By drawing the bill as he suggests,
so that it will apply only to new wag
ons and exempting those in use at
the time of its passage, no hardship
will result to anyone; the narrow
tired wagons will gradually disappear
as they are worn out, and the roads
will be saved from their destructive
effect.
Sumpter County has already
worked wonders in road building,
and although, as Chairman Sheffield
says, she has just begun, “farm lands
along these improved roads imme
diately advance as much as twenty
five per cent, in price, and general
improvement of the farms is notice
able.”
Sumpter is furnishing a splendid
example to her sister counties, and
the work here, as well as throughout
the State, should be furthered and
encouraged by the enactment of wise
and necessary laws for the proper
care and protection of the roads. —

On Women's Rights.
Last year Sir MelviU ‘Eeachcroft,
chairman cf 'the London C«unty Coun- '
ell, made a speech at the Lyceum
Club on what women could do In
that body. He began by saying: "I
take it you all know what your rights
and what your privileges are in’ that
connection.” He was quite mistaken.
In any 200 wymen there is certain to
be a proportion utterly ignorant, not
only of their rights and privileges,
but of their duties. Even in the spe- ;
cialized audience addressed by Sir :
MelviU this was the case. How many
women living in London know that
they can vote for the twenty-eight
borough councils and thirty-one
boards of guardians of the London
■County Council; that they can also
be elected themselves for these, be
members of the Cenitral Unemploy
ed Body or of the twenty-nine Dis
'tress Committees, and also be co
opted to all other bodies like the ,
Local Pension Committees? Women
can be Aidermen of the Council, and
there is nothiniz to prevent any one
of them from holding the office of'
chairman itself. These are the offices
they can hold, but very few of them
do.—London Truth.

How a Doctor Cured Scalp Disease.
“When I was ten or twelve years :

they had a doctor to see me and he
recommended the Cuticura Remedies.
They cured me in a few weeks. I have
used the Cuticura Remedies, also, for
a breaking out on my hands and was
benefited a great deal. I haven’t had
any more trouble with the scalp dis

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach |
A strong man is strong all over. No man can be a
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its M
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach.cnd its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man “doesn’t feel just right,”
when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous,
eat, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood,
invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH AND STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.
