As long as people knew no better, they were
oontent to do without the railroad, the telephone,
tfec., but who, U1 thin progressive age,
would dispense with these necessities now?
80 It Is with flour. As lone as you use In ft
y rlor flour and know nothing of "the merits of
ft Bradford's "Clifton," you may be satisfied
CQ with your bread, cake and pastry, but If you
W try one sack of "Clifton," the "cake is dough"

j Mr. A. L. Dearing who came back from
Mexico several weeks ago furnishes evidence
that the world is using him well. He will not
return to Mexico until October. He reports
that Mr. Robert Hutchison is now a conductor
on the Mexican Central Railroad, and
< doing well for blmttelf and the company. air.
, Hutchison has greatly Improved In health
since his sojourn In Mexico, and it Is believed
that be will be again a well man. If anybody
desires to write to him letters should be addressed
to Cardenas, Mexico.
Emphasise Its Superiority.
The best test of the merit of an article is
the way It sells. Bransford Mills, Owensboro,
Ky., where "Clifton" flour Is made, run
r* nlgbtand day, and yet they cannot supply
ttie demand for "Clifton." In this city, as
elsewhere. It is the standard by which other
flours are gauged, and the statement that "it
Is Jast as good as "Clifton" only makes Its superiority
more pronounced. L. T. & T. M.

DAYS GONE BY.
Oh, the dayi gone by t Ob, the days gone by J
The applea in the orchard and the pathway
through the rye,
The chirrup of the robin, and the whistle of
the quail
Aa he piped across the meadow3 ewect as any
nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over is the
days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked feet
were tripped
By the honeysuckle tangles where the water
lilies dipped,
And the ripple of the river lipped the moss
along the brink
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle
came to drink,
And the tilting snipe stood fearless of the truant's
wayward cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer in the days
gone by.
Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the days gone by!
The music of the laughing lip, the luster of
the eye,
The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's
magic ring,
The Bimple, soul reposing, glad belief in everything,
When life was like a story, holding neither
sob nor sigh
Ln the golden, olden glory of the days gone by.

A HEALTHY MAN.
Here Are the Point* That Go to DUke
a Centenarian.
Here are the points of a healthy man.
If you have them all you may, barring
accidents, count on being a centenarian.
If you have most of them, you'll reach a
ripe old age, but even if you have only a
few don't be alarmed, for many apparently
crazy human machines last a surprisingly
long time.
First, your body and limbs should be
plump, but the plumpness should be of
the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type.
Your figure ought to bo erect, and, whether
you are tall or short, well proportioned.
Length without breadth is a very bad
thing in a man, for there is no room for
vital organs largo enough to thoroughlj
perform their duties.
Your step should be springy and elastic,
your ?ait ten and easy. These things in
dicate muscles of good quality and nerve
of good tone. Your eye should be bright
and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright
eyes show that the circulation of blood in
the brain is good.
Your complexion should be clear and
fresh. It is usually not well with you
when your face is pale, sallow, florid 01
subject to sudden flushings. But In this
matter your occupation has great influence,
and you might have the worst possible
complexion and be in perfect health.
But that, of course, is the exception, not
the rule.
Your head should not be very large, 01
at least if it is large your nek, shoulders
and chcst ought to correspond in size. II
you feel your pulse, it ehrtuld bo regular;
if it drops a beat now and again or beats
very fast and exeitedly after the least-exertion
or emotion then the heart is weak.
Your breathing should bo tranquil and inaudible.
Any sounds meia that the passages
are more or less clogged.
You should not; know you have a stomach?that
is to Bay, as a rule. Of course
there are times when that organ gets out
of order in the healthiest individual, and
then it is always suro to make its owner
aware of its existence. You should always,
except when tho weather is bitterly
cold, feel comfortably warm through youi
whole body, even to the tips of the fingers
and toes. Otherwise something is wrong
with the circulation ortho heat producing
apparatus..
You should have sound sleep, without
dreams orw nightmares, and it should not
last too long or too short?say, eight to
eight and a half hours every night.
Your voice should not be hoarse, and
you should be a stranger to 6ore throats.
Your appetite should not be too great 01
too small, while you should not be a sufferer
from headaches, giddiness or neuralgia,
and, of course, you should not have
palpitations or faintings or varicose veins.
If you answer to the above description,
you have neither disease of the brain,
spinal cord, heart, lungs, liver, stomach,
muscles or nerves, and you are in as perfect
health as it is possible for human beings
to be.
But at the same time many a round
shouldered, narrow chested, thin and sallow
man is as tough as steel, works hard
and lives till he is almost tired of the
world, and, of course, even the healthiest
of us must go through a course of colds,
coughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks and
the like.
Still, li your cnest is wiuhji 1x1 pi-upux uiuu
to the rest of your body you are likely tc
have less stamina, and you should not
overdo such thing9 as football, cycling 01
even brain work.?New York World.
He Did His Best.
In an Aberdeen bookshop an old lad;
was inquiring for a copy of the Bible, and
the shopkeeper brought forward one at
half a crown. But the old lady wanted
something cheaper. A copy at 18 pence
was produced containing illustrations.
But the illustrations, the old lady averred,
entailed superfluous expenditure.
"Then, here," 6aid the shopkeeper, "ii
a copy for a shilling which contains a'
that's necessary for salvation." He descended
from the ladder and laid it before
his customer.
"But hae ye no something a wee bit
cheaper?" asked the old lady.

"Can't say when; shake every day. Why
do yon ask?"
"Oh, nothing in particular, 'only I

Tortoise Shell.
What is called tortoise shell 1b not the
bony covering or shield of the turtle, but
only the scales which cover it. These are
13 in number, 8 of them llat and 5 a little

pounds of them, the plates varying from
an inch to a quarter of an inch in thiokness.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS. *
Effect of HiKhTTay Improvement La
\ew Jer?ey.
The importance of good roads and
their value to each district having
them have long been advocated, but
not until recent years has the public
been awakened to their full slgnlfl
cance. After all, it was not by argument
that the public was convinced,
but from necessity in the beginning
and then by example. The state of
New Jersey is wedged In between New
York and/ Pennsylvania, with one of ..
the great cities of the country on its
eastern borders and the second largest
city on its western borders. Its fanners
are mainly engaged In raising truck
for the millions of people living In
those two cities. To do this thousands
of them drive to each city daily with a
load of truck, starting In the morning
anywhere from 12 to 4 o'clock to get to
the markets early enough for the huck
sters.
"Jersey mud," a clay loam, is proverbial
for Its stickiness and disagree
able nature to travel through when
wet, says the Putnam (Conn.) Patriot
The Jersey farmer knows the value of
a dollar and is opposed to taxes, but he
could reckon the difference between
what he lost daily by reason of bad
roads and the tax he would have to
pay for building a smooth rock road.
That having been worked out, one godd
road was built and those near it got to
market regularly and easily, rain or
shine, saving enough each trip to pay
the road tax. "Seeing is believing,"
and farmers in other parts became convinced
of their economy, and the example
was followed, slowly at first but
gradually going on more rapidly.
Last year 100 miles of new roads
were built in that state at a cost of
about $500,000. This year the demand
for them is so great that the state will,
the coming year, venture to put $1,000,000
into 200 miles of macadam. The *,
state commissioner of public roads de-.
1 clares that this movement has Incronsfld
the tnrnhlo nrnnprhr fit thA
state by $27,000,000. Just think of
that!
BAY STATE ROADS.' . ; |
Some Fact* About the Highways of
Maiaachaietti.
It costs on an average $9,000 per
, mile to build a state road in Massai
chusetts, says the Boston Globe, but
1 the actual cost depends on locality and
conditions, hardly two cases being
i alike. One-fourth of the cost of a
state road is borne by the county In
which it is situated, the balance being ,
contributed by the state.
The work of the highway commission
has developed a number of high class
professional roadbuildera. Many of .
the younger and more ambitious have
entered the employ of the national government
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
fhllippines in trie same line or wont. yi
, Most of the state roads are of broken
, stone, but a few are of graveL The
. type of road built is determined by the
' engineer, who makes careful examinatlon
of soils, drainage, gravel, stone,
i grades and traffic.
1 The thickness of stone on state roads
varies from four to sixteen inches, the
lesser being placed over good gravel or
sand, the greater over heavy cl$y. The
broken Atone used on state roads passes
through half inch, Inch and a half and
two and a half inch screens. The largest
size is placed on the bottdm, the
second size on top of this and the
crown is made with half inch material.
All are rolled1 separately and thop,
oughly.
The cost of trap rock for roadbuilding
varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.00
, per ton. The state owns seventeen
steam rollers, which are employed in
state roadbuildlng.' The standard
| width of stone roadwfeys in Massachusetts
built by the commission is fifteen
feet There are gome only ten ana
twelve feet wide, bnt they are not
deemed economical to maintain.
i When a state road Is constructed. It
1 remains tinder the control of the state
highway commission. . The local authorities
are taxed an amount not to
exceed $50 per mile for maintenance.
FOR BETTER ROADS.
Men of Wealth Interested In HighI
wfy Improvement.
Men of wealth are evincing a practical
Interest in road improvement for
! the benefit of their fellow men. George
Gould has offered to bear one-third of
the entire cost of the improvement of
i the public highways In the vicinity of
Lakewood, N. J., and Colonel J. J. As1
tor has spent large sums on the roads
near Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Recently Harley T. Proctor, a sum!
mer resident of Willlamstown, Mass.,
offered to give the town $10,000 for
the improvement of the roads, providing
the latter raises $50,000 for the
i same purpose. Mr. Proctor makes the
gift because he believes that better . '- *
roads would increase the popularity of
Williamstown as a summer resort He
recently had the stone hill road put
in excellent condition at a cost of $500.
The town furnished the drainage pipes
and permitted Mr. Proctor to use the .J.
road scraper. v *8
The Secret of a Good Road.
A hard surface, well rounded bo that
the water will run off quickly, is the
secret of a good road. Attention after
a road is once permanently built is im!
perative so that the washed out places
and depressions where water stands
may be repaired. A little timely work
will keep a road in good shape.
Civilization and Good Roada.
There1 Is perhaps no better test of
the life of a civilization than that to
be found in the extent and character
of its public big&ways. xne aegree 01
perfection of country roads corresponds
closely to the degree of civilization
where the roads are situated.
