THE COST OF BAI) ROADS. d( Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. tics showing the amount of railroad freight traffic moved for the year ended June 30, 1914, as follows: Prod- e< ucts of agriculture, 198,586,840 tons; y products of animals, 46,457,256 tons; si products of mines, 1,065,447,589 tons; \* products of forests, 199,461,226 tons; A products of manufacture, 300,804,202 si tons; products of merchandise, 70,- e< 339, 182 tons; other miscellaneous tl commodities, 70,$93,664 tons?a total a of 1,949,689,959 tons. ir These figures are made by the New York Commercial the text of an edi- r< torial on good roads, which presents ti this highly important subject from a " somewhat new viewpoint. "All of this n freight," says The Commercial, "had ^ to be hauled from mine, forest, field, n warehouse, siding and city street till S it reached the great commercial high- n way, the railroad; and, again, at the o end of the railroad haul, had to reach f< the consumer over warehouse siding, ' city street and country road to the remotest farmer in the community. The t railroad is the intermediate commer- 11 cial highway over which all of the n commercial sap of the nation is haul- v ed. It serves in the distribution of v this commercial sap the same func- a tions as. the arterial blood vessels in the circulation of the blood. Com- n munity roads, feeders to the railroad ^ and local distributers, serve in the ca- t parity of the capillary blood vessels, reaching into the remote tissue and I fibres of the human frame, while the v interborough highways may not in- a aptly be compared to the veins rough which flows the venous blood v slowly, thus completing the circuit, f fn order to have an uninterrupted 11 flow of the commercial sap of the * nation, it is obvious the feeders to ' the railroads, including the inter- a borough highways, should be built so ^ as to bear up under the ever ineras- 11 ing burden of farm freight. It should not be forgotten that the rail luuun fiivseui me greatest object les- " son with regard to the economy of * hard surfaced roads, their strength, * their durability, their smooth, easy grades, all of solid steel, six inches deep from surface to spike. The j products of field, forest and factory totaling 1,949,707,959 tons of freight, a group of figures which staggers the imagination, were hauled over 350,000 miles of United State railroad and added merely a polish to the rail; while the same amount of freight ( rutted and, perhaps, stuck, laboring and lumbering over 2,300,000 miles of roads and highways leading to and from stations on these 350,000 miles of railroad." o The authorities place the average t haul from farm to shipping point at a five and one-half miles. What the s aggregate saving would be if the o farm products of the country could o be handled over hard, smooth and properly graded roads, instead of ovei b the rough and rutted highways bow b more or less generally obtaining, it is it onutuit iu esuniaie, nut it is safo to a assert that it would run up into t;ie c hundreds of millions of dollars a year, f The real question in several States of g this Union is not whether we can af- f ford to pay to own good roads, but t whether we can afford not to pay g whatever they may cost.

PERATION FAILED ter Taking Two Bottles of Tanlac, She Was Strong Enough to Box With Her Son. 5rompted by a feeling of gratitude it apparently was deep and sincere, A. Roberts, of 731 Assembly St., iumbia, one of this city's well >wn plumbers, told a story that will :essarily make a deep impression >n many, for it is a story of human Fering and of the means which lUght a feeling of contentment, ice and "good will toward men." t is another one of the remarkable nlae stories, and, as mankind is heir suffering, Mr. Roberts' statement lost assumes the importance of a fn6n. He said: I shall be glad to tell you how Mrs. t>erts at last regained her health 1 strength, and I shall tell you why vun nun ill DUXlllg muicnes I h our 10-year-old son instead of' ducting herself as one broken in lth. For a number of years Mrs. Rob5 suffered acutely with kidney ubles and chronic appendicitis, with ir accompanying ills. She was lerallv run down in health, and was ced to undergo an operation, which, vever, gave her little relief. She perhaps suffered equally as ch with liver troubles, and, during operation, a surgeon removed sev1 hundred small gall stones. He re me a bottle containing two hund and thirty stones, which were aped from her liver. During the it five years her health has been y unsatisfactory. I spent praetily all I earned paying the hills for dical services for her. She was so sore on her right sicn* t she could not even bear to touch Because all our efforts to find rehad failed, she became discour>d. We saw almost every day in papers a statement by someone 0 had been greatly helped by Tan, and she decided to give it a trial. certainly are thankful we did, and are also thankful we were privied to get it. This is the reason: Mrs. Roberts Is fine now, and from a weight of 1 hundred seventy pounds, when last weighed before taking Tanlac, has increased in weight to more n two hundred pounds. She was ced to increase by four inches the ists of all her clothes. I have seen on several occasions boxing with !ve%-Year"?ld son, and she says she i how~T>Jie as much punching on right V.de as on the left, so comtely wis the soreness in that side noved while she was taking Tanlac. 'Mrs. Roberts has taken just two ;tles of Tanlac, and is now tawing third bottle. She did not want to rt the third bottle because she is ining weight so rapidly. She says i does not need medicine now. Realher recovery has been more than narkahle, and I am more than glad tell the public of the great benefit brought her. We certainly are ong boosters of Tanlac, for it has ne more for Mrs. Roberts than all 5 other medicines. We have urged ite a number of our friends to take nlac for their troubles."
