Before Laying Surfacing Materials Roads Ought to Be Perfectly Dry, Bays Connectiout Highway Commit- sioner—Resist Autos’ Bad Effects. The racking of brains to find a road surfacing which will withstand the wear and tear of automobile traffic that has been going on among road- makers in the United States and Eu rope of late is resulting in a return to coal tar, which thirty years ago was thought to be worthless for any pur pose and today furnishes mankind so many different products and byprod ucts, some of them far removed from the building of stone roads. Highway Commissioner Macdonald of Connecti cut, ever among the leaders in these matters, has worked out a specifica tion which has already been adopted by state highway commissioners who have beard of it and have obtained a copy, says a Hartford (Conn.) dispatch. It calls for a combination of coal tar and pitch, and folly as much of the success with which the road laid by means of it resists the action of auto tires is due to the manner in which It is put down as to the medium which hinds the road surface into a solid, perfectly cohesive waterproof whole. Something over a year ago Commis sioner Macdonald chose a very hot day and laid his specification on most of the roads in Bushneil park, about the Connecticut 4tate capitol in Hartford, and the present condition of these roads, which is as good as the day the coal tar combination was put down, tes tifies to the excellence of the specifica tion. Not only that, but these roads are nnusually good ones on which to try out the coal tar, for the reason ( that they are used by autos far more than by any other vehicles. It happens that before be became 1 state highway commissioner a dozer years ago Mr. Macdonald had been for years at the head of a New Haven firm which laid and still lays tar and asphalt pavements, and he was pecul iarly fitted to grapple with the destruc- tlveness of auto tires on macadam roads when it became a question of seeing the fine system of roads in Con necticut which be is building dlslnte- WANTED—To purchase one dollar gold pieces.

Fart of a Transporting Maohino—Thair Noglsct Mara tho Whola. “To appreciate the necessity for good roads in America one should consider the road as part of u transporting ma chine. The machine Is composed by a horse, a wagon and a road. If any one of the three is poor, the machine Is poor and Ineffective. Only a small load can be drawn, and that slowly. We have been spending thousands of dol lars building up the bfeed of horses and improving wagong and have al lowed the roads to run down and offset our costly upbreeding. Is it not time we stopped and considered the common sense course, to build up all three simultaneously?” Tbis unique presentation of tbe ne cessity of good roads was offered by Horatio S.

LATINO COAL TAB AND FITCH ON A BOAD. grate before hia eyea unless he could find a protection for them. There were two things to be done, find a road sur facing material which is finished when laid and solid, so that It makes no dust and needs no dust to maintain Its In tegrity, or find a method of laying the dust. Some roadmakers have not given over trying to find the latter yet, but after various and varied experiments Commissioner Macdonald finds that a mere dust layer, which means oil. Is of little value. It must be frequently re newed and cannot be repaired. Commissioner Macdonald’s specifica tion lays great stress on the necessity for having all parts of tbe road per fectly dry when the coal tar and pitch surfacing is laid. After tbe shoulders and gutters have been formed and shaped tbe contractor must clean off all dirt or accumulations with split rattan brooms or a horse sweeper until tbe No. 2 stone is entirely bare, clean and free from all material except such as is found in the No. 2 course, so that there is no Interruption between the tar and the No. 2 course of stone. This No. 2 course is to be evened up to grade also. Then comes tbe coal tar application About 15 per cent of pitch is to be melted into tbe tar and thoroughly mixed with it, tbe whole to lie heated to a temperature of 22i> degrees. At this temperature the mixture is flood ed on to the road and broomed In with split rattan brooms. When this first application has l«eeome entirely ab sorbed a second application of exactly the same thing is to be applied in just the same wqy. the two making a per fectly solid surface on top in combina tion with the No. 2 course of stone, which is about one inch, longest diame ter, in size. While the second application is still hot and sticky the top dressing of trap rock splinters from one-half to three- quarters of an Inch, longest diameter. Is put on to u uniform depth of not less than an inch. Two inches will be even better. At once a steam road roller of not less than ten tons weight is to be run over the surface of tbis and to be kept running over it until the top dressing is thoroughly Imbedded in the tar and pitch ''omposltlon. Then the road must cool thoroughly l>cfore any use whatever. There are several Important eoudl tlons which must be observed, too. chief among them perhaps being tbe re quirement that the day must lie hot. “No water gas tar will tie allowed to be used nor any adulteration of the coal tar. Nothing but pure coal tar shall be used hi the work.” MANKAtO’S GOOD ROAD. Minnesota City Has Made a Mudless and Dustless Pavement. Mankato, Minn., has solved the prob lem of finding a durable pavement at small expense and one that can l*> used on steep grades as readily ns on a level surface. First the driveway was narrowed to thirty feet, curbed, guttered and boule- vnrded. Then it was excavated to the depth of six inches and surfaced. Five inches of dry crushed limestone one and a half to two inches in diameter was put on and rolled down with a ten ton roller. Roiling tar from the local gas works was applied until the entire surface was covered. Then, says the Cement Age. a layer of broken stone an inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter, mixed with coarse gravel, was applied on the surface in proportion of three parts of stone to one <>f gravel This was first mixed dry on a pi 1.form and thou thoroughly mixed with hot tar and appiiod on the surface two inches thick an I tamped Into place to conform with the surface of the -'reel I try domestic cement was ihtMi up- p.ied lo the surface, and the street was again rolled Then a coating of sand was applied and the roller again used. The pavement was allowed to stand for two weeks lie fore the street was thrown open to travel. The cost was 80 cents a lineal foot to the property owners on each side of tbe street or. rather, would have liecti had the entire cost been assessed against them The street has a prac tically waterproof pavement six inches thick, and it is impossible for the ele ments to attack tbe surface. Tbe pave ment has now stood two winters and shows not tbe slightest wear. It gives off no dust in summer, although it is not sprinkled. Proving Hie Motto. (Strand Magazine.) “Well, sir,” exclaimed tho million aire, “what do you want this morn ing?” “I’ve come again to ask for your daughter,” said the poor but ambi tious young man. "Haven’t I told you six times over on as many different days that it Is out of the question? What do you mean by bothering me In this way? You are making a nuisance of your self!” “If I seem to be more persistent than circumstances warrant, I must insist that you, sir, are to blame.” “Me!” shouted the indignant old man. “I don’t understand you.” “There,” said the man who loved his daughter as he pointed to a mot to over the banker’s desk, “Is my ex cuse for coming here day after day, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.” Do you believe In that sentiment, or have you put it up there simply to deceive people?’’ After he had scratched his head awhile the mean old plutocrat said: “Yes, I believe in that. I haven’t succeeded yet In making you under stand that my daughter shall not be come the wife of a fool, but I am going to keep on trying till I do; Good morning!” And that time be he did it.

Cosmetics fail to improve their thick, muddy complexions or to ban ish the pimples, blackheads and crow’s-feet. No wonder. Their trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They have bad blood, and blood in 90 per cent, of the cases arises from inflammation of the mucous membrane. Their blood is filled with poison which Is certain to break out in unsighly humors and blotches—while pale, drawn faces, deep circled eyes, stoop ing shoulders and weak backs com plete the story of suffering and des pair. Inflammation of the mucous mem brane is certain. Banish catarrh and complexions will clear as If by magic, pain vanish, eyes will brighten, faces oecome plump and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes only with per fect health, and perfect health for women can only be obtained through Rexall Mucu-Tone, the one positive and permanent cure for catarrh. Mme. Swift, 44 W. 26th St., New York City, the most famous beauty specialist in the world and an accept ed authority on all relating thereto, has this to say of Mucu-Tone; “I can strongly endorse the claims made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure for systemic catarrh. Its tonic ef fects are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality. If women who are tired and run down, lacking In energy and vitality, will use Mucu-Tone, they will praise it as I do for its strengthening and heal ing qualities.” Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the blood, and acting directly upon the muco-cells—the congestion and inflammation of which are the sole cause of catarrh—causes them to ex- I pel the poison and to resume their . . ... j « j - . natural functions.
