Engineer Cooley Will Experiment on Road Building In Sandy Soil—Clover Will Be Planted, Cut and Mixed With Sand. George W. Cooley, engineer and sec retary of the state highway commis sion of Minnesota, has secured the co operation of the public road office at Washington and the bureau of plant industry In his plans for experiment ing in the construction of roads in sandy districts, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Experiments along this line were authorized at the last meet ing of the highway commission and will be commenced next spring. Mr. Cooley plans to make^ two or three experiments along this line. One road probably will be constructed near Hreckenridgu and the others in places where similar conditions exist. Local authorities Lave found it practically impossible to build roads In sandy soil where no clay, gravel or broken stone can be obtained except at an expense so great as to make it out of the ques tion, and it is for the purpose of find ing some means of building good roads under such conditious that the experi- meuls will be made. The federal public roads authorities have become interested in the plan and will assist to Ihe extent of paying a part of the expense. The local author ities of the districts in which the roads are to be built will be asked to pro vide a superintendent for the work who will carry out the plans of (he en gineer. Mr. Cooley's plan is to plant clover in the road and along the sides for some distance, and whju the clover attains a good growth and before it begins to dry to cut it and mix it with the sand in the roadway. In thi; way it is expected that the nature of the soil will be so changed in a year or two as to make it excellent mate rial for road building. In a communication from the bu reau of plant industries this question Is discussed, and the opinion is given that it is entirely feasible. Yellow sweet clover is suggested as the kind best adapted for this work. Ou this subject the communication states: “The last named plant has been cred ited with so completely changing the character of the sandy soil on King's island, near Australia, as to make it exceedingly productive, and they are especially adapted to growing in samlv land.” The experiments will be started next spring where the proper conditions are found and the assistance of the local authorities can be secured and will be continued for one or two years as the progress of the experiment shows is necessary. If the first year’s work does not bring the soil to a condition which is satisfactory for roadmaking purposes, the same treatment will be given F e next year and even the third year if it proves necessary. ROAD MAINTENANCE. Value of Patrolling Highways to Keep Them In Good Condition. The utter wastefulness and lack of economy in building roads and making no provision for their repair and main tenance are becoming more and more apparent to taxpayers. The importance of the subject is appreciated in some states, and measures have been adopt ed. There are. however, many com munities where the necessary steps have not yet been taken. The subject Is treated pertinently by W. Pierre- pont White iu a recent article in Out ing Magazine. In this article Mr. White says: “Not one cent of money should be expended in the creation of these ex pensive highways unless at the same time a system of careful maintenance and repair is established. “Steam roads when first built were permitted to run down, ties to rot, the ends of Iron rails to flatten, bolts in the fish plates to become loose, until a general overhauling was ordered, and in excessively expensive amount^of repairs was made owing to the neg lect. Today well managed roads do not permit this. But each road is di vided into sections under engineers, npder assistant engineers, under sec tion bosses, with men passing daily up and down the road, giving it constant repair and attention. This we are fa miliar with. “In Europe highways are patrolled i* the same way. Men, usually old, patrol the roads under their care, each in charge of a section, each responsi ble for its condition, and the slightest hole In the wearing surface is detect ed, repaired and filled in immediately after it commences. Ruts are detected and filled, sluices and ditches kept open and washing of the sides stopped, and only by this constant care are roads kept iu good condition. This same system must come to this coun try and I>e inaugurated at the time that the general improvement is made; otherwise the people’s money will be thrown away.” Signs For Roads. Signboards of blue enamel are to be placed by the state highway depart ment of Pennsylvania on all state roads completed during the present year. The signs will be eighteen inch es long by one foot wide and will con tain the name of the road, the date and “State Highway,” “Keep to tho Right.” S.S.S. FOR BAD BLOOD Reverse Action.

If you would not have afflictlou visit you twice, listen at once to it teaches.—IF _vrs. RHEUMATIC FOLKSI The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very “engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since 80 much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontarainated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddv, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant braise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, elc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a medicine as can be bad; it simply cannot be improved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich the blood and to invigorate and tone up the system. This spring my blood was bad and I was run down in health, and having seen your medicine highly advertised I commenced its use. Today my blood is in fine condition and my general health is of the best.
