GOOD ROADS IN ENGLAND.
KEEPING BRILLIANTS BRIGHT.
W. H. Moore 8aya ths United Statei
Should Follow British Example.
W. II. Moore, president of the Na
tlonrtl Good Kondu nHsoclatlon, writ Inn
to the editor of the Kansas City Star,
says:
The finest examples of perfect, easy
and durable roads I have found in the
Itrltitth isles are the Warwick road
from LennilnRtnn to Warwick castle,
about two and a half miles; the Kenll
worth road from Leamington to Kenll-
worth coh(U live miles, and the Strat
ford road from. Leamington to Slrat-ford-on-Avon,
ten and n half miles.
These roads are nliout four rods wide
between fences. The traveled or im
proved portion Is twenty-two feet wide
between grass edges.
All these roads have horse pnths on
one side. . Some of these are carefully
prepared with stone averaging from
two to three feet deep, the top surfac
ing being enrth. The paths on the
side, which are two or three feet from
tlio mrthi rond. average about five feet
in width. No mntertal has ever been
nor ever will be found more suitable to
horses' feet and to the ln'rsemen thnn
the common enrth surfaced roads. The
ronds referred to receive enreful an;!
constant attention.
In the early season, May or June.
they receive an application of coal tar
product. This Is impervious to rain
nml allays the dust. The verj; best in
terests of the people of the British
Jsles socially nnd commercially are
conserved by the splendid system of
public roads. Tf the great nrmy of pol
iticians in the T'nited States who are
making pyrotechnic speeches and all
candidates for municipal, state and
federal oillces should confine, their cam
paign to the subject of good roads and
when elected no after the auction in
earnest, they would soon accomplish
the greatest pond In their generation.
Every county can afford good roads.
With a little common sense financier
ing by bonding or making a special
levy with an Interest nnd a Blnklug
fund consideration- any community
can possess good roads, with nil their
attendant blessings. The curse of mud
roads in the T'nited States Is a nation
al, monumental fraud. It Is n hideous
evidence of miygoventmont, a reproach
against the advancement of equal
Tights and liberty to all.

How Woman Can Car For Their
Own Jawelry.'
Jewelry demands time and attention
from its owners If It Is to be kept In
good condition. More particularly
docs this apply to the Imitation gems
which are so much worn nowadays.
When new Buch stones often defy de
tection, but when they get soiled their
character is sometimes only too ap
parent. Rhinestones are In great
vogue, and once they lose their luster
nothing will restore It. The woman
who knows, however, can prevent this
from occurring.
One of the I test ways of preserving
the brilliancy is to prepare n warm
water bath, taking care that the liquid
is perfectly free from any gritty sedi
ment before Immersing the articles of
Jewelry. Allow the Jewelry to remain
in the water two minutes, then remove
and scrub with a stiff brush.
Itlnse off the soap by plunging the
pieces Into a bowl of clean water and
then place them In a box filled with
Jewelers' sawdust and allow them to
remain there for half an hour or until
all the water has lwen nltsorbed.
When dry whisk off any line pieces of
woud which may adhere by means of
a soft brush nnd rub with a soft cloth.
This method Is only possible when
the stones are set In silver, platinum
or gold. When not entirely surrounded
by some metal the only way to clean
them is by softly brushing with a cam
el's hairbrush.
Many women destroy rhines tones In
their efforts to clean them simply be
cause they do not understand how
these stones are set. Most imitation
stones are simply pieces of glass and
are really softer and easier to scratch
than the ordinary window panes.
Their brilliancy is obtained by the tips
of lead or the aluminium in which
they are set.
Hence it will bo realized that scrub
bing and liquids, even water Itself,
will have a tendency to loosen these
tips and allow dust and moisture to
find entrance between the stone nnd
the lead foil. Rhinestones of the bet
ter quality, whk-h are made of a com
position, can be cleaned with soop and
water Just the same as diamonds and
may then l)e dried in Jewelers' hot
sawdust.
How to Clean Sewing Machines.
Sewing machlues need to be given
personal attention. If tho machine
works hard or squeaks, then you may
be sure it needs a thorough cleaning.
Remove the needle and shuttle and
give every Joint and bearing in tho ma
chine a generous bath of gasoline.
You must not have a lamp or fire
burning anywhere near this explosive
tluld. With the needle and shuttle still
out, turn the wheels briskly to. allow
tho gasoline to penetrate every part
of the machine nnd to loosen nnd clean
out nil old oil and grime. After the
wheels have been turned for a minute
or so, wipe away nil visible oil. grease
and dirt. Cotton rags are the best for
wiping nwa.v I he oil, for they absorb
the grease readily. It is necessary
that every drop of oil be removed.
Now oil the parts with pure machine
oil nnd run the machine again for a
few minutes before reinserting the
needle nnd shuttle. You will find after
this treatment that your machine Is in
perfect temper and a delight to work
with, so smoothly and easily will It
run.

How to Remove Callous Spots.
Callous spots are most frequently
founil on the soles of the feet They
are due to pressure nntl friction anil
offen are decidedly painful anil annoy
ing. As tnnelt of them as 1r possible
should le rulibcil away In the dally
hntli, and what remains can often ho
removed without any pain whatever
by rubhtns the spot with a piece of
toilet pmnico while the callous Is In a
softened condition from the bath. An
other method of removing a callous Is
to bind the spot up overnight with a
cloth saturated with crude petroleum
after the spot has been bnthed and rul
Iied and scraped. This will often soft
en the callous. Strapping the foot
with an adhesive plaster will often
bring relief. The plaster should be
smoothly put on. Tho spot under the
plaster will perspire freely, and this
will cause the spot to entirely disappear.
Roads and ths R. F. D.
Notice Is being sent out from the
postofflce department to many rural
communities that unless roads ore re
paired nnd placed In condition for un
Interrupted service during tho year
the rural service will Ite discontinued.
This Is work for good roads that will
doubtless have a wide and wholesome
effect, says the Atchison Globe. The
rural mall service has become so
much a part of the farmer's life as to
be regarded as a necessity, and he
Isn't likely to let It lapse for the sake
of n little time and energy needed In
road building.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at band and too much care can
not be UBed to protect the children,
A child is much more likely to con
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy Is the sole re
liance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing
to uso any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher
of Ripley, W. Va., says: "1 have
never used anything other than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my
children and it has always given good
satisfaction." This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For asle by Hamilton
