VALUE OF CONCERTED ACTION ftnportanc* of Using Drags at the Right Tima Proved by Statement of a Township Supervisor—Features of Neighborhood Organization. [Copyright, 1908, by D. Ward King.] After the public spirited leaders in the movement for better roads have convinced the community the King sys tem is all It is claimed to be there will arise the question of how to get every mile of road dragged, for the less pro gressive men will allow stretches of rough road between the smooth pieces. Now, in times past I used to shy at organization. I was more afraid of the word than the average farmer's family horse is of an automobile. The worst fool over an auto on my farm today is the twenty-year-old standby who has helped to raise the children: not that 1 was foolish about it, but be cause 1 knew the ease with which good people will elect a president and a sec retary. adopt a constitution and quit. I am still opposed to organizing first. Before such an attempt is even sug gested a lively demand for it should be created. When the people are convinc ed by object lessons, then the time is ripe for organization. A paper record and the formal elec tion of officers is not an absolute ne cessity, for when the community has reached the proper frame of mind the desired end may be reached by a sort of common consent, just as villages gradually get rid of the front fences and take better care of the lawns with out the passage of a special ordinance. In thousands of instances long stretch es—twenty miles in some cases—are kept in order by an unspoken under standing. Rut formal organization will do no harm and often will succeed where the spontaneous kind has failed to develop. I am acquainted with four styles of neighborhood organization, three of them developed by unselfish individu als having in view the good of the community solely. The differences in the plans are due partially to local en vironments and partially to the busi ness occupations of the persons who formulated them. The organization of the residents along suburban roads was first ac complished by Mr. Clarence D. Skin ner of Topeka, Kan. Mr. Skinner in terested the people along his own street and used the drag to make a boulevard which became the talk of the city. His success was so great that he was made assistant secretary of the Kansas Good Roads association in which capacity he aided Secretary L. D. Graham to spread the club idea throughout the state, the newspapers of Toi>eka joining heartily In the project. Postmaster Fllson of Cameron, Mo.. w r as the author of a scheme for divid ing each rural route in two parts with a captain for each part He called a mass meeting of all the patrons of al! the rural routes and after explaining to them he divided the audience iuto groups by routes and had captains chosen. It was the business of one captain to manage the outgoing half of the route which passed his houre. and it was the business of the oth r captain to attend to the Incoming end. About two years ago Thomas V,'. Larkin, secretary of the Dennison (Tex.) Commercial dun, made and tested a King drag. He was converted. The roads were very, very bad about Dennison. One of them, known as Carpenters Bluffs road seemed much the worst. The Commercial clnb do nated a sum of money to put this road in order, but dlpulated that the farm ers must pledge a like amount In money or labor, and also must promFe to drag the road carefully after It was repaired. Mr. I.arkin called meetings at a schoolliouse or two out near the end of the road, presented the proposi tion and organized the fanners To- -day the Bluffs road Is known by repu tatlon throughout Texas, and Us ex cellence Is the standard by which other good roads are measured. The fourth form of organization can Ite used only hi localities where the Mb Vi) Vb road officers Join the movement and take the management In ctWse. I can outline the workings of thik plan most quickly and clearly by Treating a, statement made by a township super visor from Clayton county at the Iowa state road convention, Dcs Moines, in January, 1905. The value of t»e King drag and the importance of concerted action In its use were under discussion, and the supervisor said that on a cer tain afternoon, naming a day several weeks past, the roads had thawed and were a little sloppy. The wind got into the north and It was evident a freeze was coming. “So,” said he, “I stepped to the phone and ordered out every drag In the township. The weather turned very cold that night: the ground froze hard and remains frozen till now. The undragged roads were so sharp and rough the next morning they were well nigh Impassa ble, but the dragged roads were as smooth as a floor and as hard as cast Iron and have been so every since.” It seems to me this statement con tains in a nutshell proof of the value of the drag even lu winter, evidence of the importance of using the drag at the right moment, and also points to the necessity for some form of organ ization Pennsylvania State Highways. The state highway department ol Pennsylvania expects to construct this year 208 miles of good roads. Rational Pneumonia Treatment The most successful physicians are now treating pneumonia by the ap plication of counter-irritants. They are learning to resist the temptation to doctor the cough, which, after all, is only nature's effort to relieve her self, and are endeavoring to reach the seat of the congestion without the use of Internal remedies. Some are using preparations about as pleasant to the patient as an ap plication of mud or putty, but the wisest use a pleasant liquid counter- irritant. The Ideal remedy is Noah's Lini ment. Its carefully compounded in gredients possess wonderful powers of penetration and Immediately re duce the Inflammation and congestion. Noah's Liniment is absolutely harmless, and can be used freely without consultation with a physi cian. Apply the liniment freely over the point of pain or congestion. Satu rate a hot flannel and keep It ap plied to that portion of the body. The effect will be almost Immediate, and In many cases the threatened pneu monia will be dispelled before a phy sician can be secured. Best for rheumatism, solatia, lame back, stiff joints and muscles, sore throat, colds, strains, sprains, cuts, bruises, colic, cramps, etc. For In ternal and external aches and pains Noah’s Liniment has no equal.

This is nature’s way ol maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cauM becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin it so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and tha effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, - and skin affections of various These impurities and hnmors get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system; the members whose duty it is to carry off the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work, and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within tfco system, but poisons from without, such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the open pores and glands, and so thor oughly do they become rooted in the blood that they are ever present, or return at certain seasons of each year to torment the sufferer. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin diseases. True, such treatment re lieves some of the itching and dis comfort, and aids in keeping the skin clean, but it does not reach the real cause, aud at best can be only palli ating and soothing. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S.
