THE COST OF DENTAL WORK
The cost of dentil work is often given as an excuse
for neglect; but have you ever considered the work done
by your teeth and the relative cost of denistry compared
to food, dothjng, etc.? The teeth are our best friends,
never vatued until lost. If you neglect them you cheat
yourself. There Is no work that costs so little In pro
portion to its imperative essentiality as good dental work.
There Is none that can compare with it in effect upon
good looks and good health. A better appreciation of
conditions has made the public better understand the
beneficent services rendered by dentistry In the prevent
ative and protective work that it has done.

could lie nKaaiilted by calling hlui
llilinea. but battery conalali-d III laying
ou of lunula ami was the more Beriima
of the two crime. He bad Just reach
ed IbU announcement when Mrs. Dol
by Kke again:
"Samuel Ihilby, I leave thla house to
night! I Just walled to tell you that
your reprehensible ceudin t la knowur
The deacon's Inner mind began to
wonder what that reprehensible con
duct waa and his outer to grasp the
fact, na stated In the book, that steal
ing a pig la not legally the an me aa
stealing a bog.
"Yin. it la known to me." said Mrs.
Dolby. "During your alwem Mrs.
Whitman culled. After she tuld me
what her husband fold her I began
packing up. I saw that 1 could not
live with you another dny nud go to
heaven when I died. I shall go to live
with my alster. If yon get n patch on
thMV overalls you will hnve to pin It
on."
During the deep. dark, dank silence
that followed the clock missed two
ticks and the teakettle ou the sieve
uttered a mournful sigh. Mr. Dolby
also read that throwing ashes ou an
other man's bind wna trespass, the
same as If you bad walked on It.
"It happened uliout six weeks ngo."
continued Mrs, Dolby as her tears
enme and ahe used 'a corner of the
shawl ou her eyes. "You bad lind a
boll on your leg. It was getting well,
and you felt ao good about It that you
said you would lie a better man here
after. You went downtown to get a
can of tomntooa. You said they naked
12 cents a can. but ymt thought you
could lieat 'em down to 'leven. You
must retnemlKT. Samuel."
Tarriad to So Caninos Scrap.
Samuel did, but he dldu't give him
self away. He sat there like a mau of
stone and read Hint If a farmer put a
live pound stone at the bottom of a
ten pound crock of butter It was not
arson, but false pretenses. lie was
pretending that there were ten pounds
of butter there when there weren't.
"You had got the tomatoes for 'leven
cents and wns coming home when you
saw Silas Davis' dog pitch into Ren
Steadmnn'a dog. Samuel, did you try
to Hcpurate those dogs? Did you get
between them and wave them away
from ench other? Were you tilled with
sorrow to see two brutes rending each
other? Samuel, I must hnve au an
swer." Itut she dldu't get one. Yes, the dea
con retiieinliered that canine conflict.
They were two big dogs, mul they put
ap a bully scrap. He almost felt his
mouth water when he harked back to
that night.
"No, you didn't." sobbed Mrs. Dol
by. "Some meu came runulng to part
them, and Instead of assisting you
cried out:
" 'Stand back there and let 'em chaw
each other! 1 will punch the head of
the first man who Interferes.' Yes,
that's what you said, and Mr. Whit
man wns there and heard you. He
snld you waved your arms and your
eves looked bloodshot. Think of It.
Samuel think of It! If you were a
wife could you live with such a hus
band as that?"
The deacon thought of It and almost
milled. Prettiest dog fight he ever
saw well matched fr weight and
both full of grit. He'd give SO cents
to see It over again. And the book be
fore him said that la call a mau a
deadbeat because he dldu't pay his
debts was libel.
"And you hollered 'sick 'em' at one
dog and stu boy' at the other, and
you kept 'em fighting for fifteen min
utes. And when Elder Griscom came
along and reproved you you bristled
right up to hjtn nud suld this was a
free country and If dogs , wanted to
fight they had the privilege. Samuel,
can I live with such a man and keep
my respect for hltu? I am weeping.
aa you see, I am not weeping lie
rauae I sin going away, but un n-
count of yonr wickedness. I certnlnly
Mpnet to hear within three months
that yiiu'vn ln-cn hung for murder!"
Conaoianot Novar Touohad Him,
One of thn deacon's eyebrows twlM
ed a very little bit, but as .Mrs. Dolby
eyes were full of teara she didn't ol
serve it. He wasn't a bit conscience;
stricken. Hn rend right along that the
owner of a cow laid himself lliihfc to
the law If he cut her tnll, no matter
If ahe awltrhcd It sixty llrnea a minute.
"If you lind come home, Kniiiilel If
you had t-ome home mul made excuses,
but you didn't. You Jest atrolled In
as placid as If yiu had Irf-i-n out hoe
ing cabling!. You could hnve ex
plained that one dog pitched Into the
other without provocation mid tluit
you didn't Interfere l-nuae you were
afrnld of being bit, but you Just
wound up the clock and said It wns
time to go to Iad. That wna deception
on top of crime. How do I know that
you won't amili) on me and thi-n chop
me up with the ax an hour later?"
Samuel dldu't know hii.v way she
could find out, and he didn't believe
there was a cnae In xilnt In the hook
before him. It did. however, state
that striking a man with a pitchfork
constituted a much graver crime than
batting hltu with a long hnndleil
shovel. Mrs. Dolby aohlied and wept.
Her tears fell on her alpnea dress and
on her satchel, and It waa several min
utes before ahe rose up and snld:
"Well. I must be going. Utile did I
think when I tnarrli-d yon, twenty
eight J curs ago. that tonight I'd have
to leave my own bouse because yoa
hnve' turned pirate. Do you want to
say guodby to me?"
Nothing from the deacon.
Separation and Return.
"Of course I shan't write to you."
The deacon didn't fall off bis chair.
"And If you come to me on your
bended knees" ,
The Idea of bis knees bending work
ed up a new emotion, and ahe leaned
against, the door and sobbed. That
waa fine rending the deacon bad, and
he was deeply Interested.
"It's night, and 1 have got this
satchel to carry, but If I get afraid or
tuckered out I can1 sleep beside aorae
haystack."
'Uie deflcon never cracked a . smile.
She oeiied the dimr. and he never
moved. She went, but be paid no heed.
Even when the door clos-d he took no
notice.
Mrs. Dolby went down the path and
leaued on the gate and looked back at
the house. No one came to the door to
call her back. She put down the satch
el and gave It a kkk. Her tears and
sobs ceased. Had the deacon fainted
away? Had he blown bis head off?
She softly advanced to the dour and
held ber ear to It. No sound. Then
she opeui-d It and looked In. Then she
entered the kitchen. Same deacon,
aume attitude.
"Samuel, I was thinking that If I
went tonight you'd have to get yonr
own breakfast and you wouldn't re
meinlier how milch coffee to put In!"
And she removed her shawl nnd bnt.
put another stick of wood Into the
stove and five minutes later was sing
ing "The Old Oaken Bucket" and tak
ing solid comfort
A Knowing Kid.
One afternoon there entered the shop
of a Trenton butcher a small hoy, who
gave this unusual order:
"Gimme n pound o' steak-rump or
round and let It be good nnd tough."
Naturally the Jmtcber was amazed.
"Why tough?" he asked.
"Ef It's tender." explained the boy
"de old mini will eat It all hlsself. but
ef It's tough us kids will get a whack

The most Important object Id drain
ing a road Is to lower the level of the
ground water. If this Is within a few
feet of the surface It will be absorbed
by the material of the road by capil
lary attraction. The result of this
would be a softening in the road im
mediately below the surface. Wbeu
heavy traffic passes over the road In
this condition It so cuts It up that the
water will not flow off.

ADVICE ON TAR
MACADAM ROADS
Suggestions For Constructing
Highways ot This Material. '
MUCH DEPENDS ON LOCALITY.
Highway Engineer 8houlo Be Con
sulted and Given tha Data Bearing
on tho Problem Topography of
Country 'and' Traffic Should Bo
Studied.
As many Industrious members of
various rural communities are anxious
to receive Information as to what kind
of tar macadam roads to build, an
expert authority on road construction
and maintenance gives the following
valuable advice:
The proer determination of what
kind of tar macadam road to build
in a given locality could ouly be mudo j
by a competeut highway engineer iu
possession of all the data bearing on
the problem and preferably by an ex-1
imlnatloo on the ground.
Leaving for the moment the matter
of cost out of the question, the selec
tion ot a suitable method' of construc
tion and of materials best adapted
thereto depends upoa so many factors
that no choice is possible without thor
ough study of the surrounding condi
tions. This would Include a knowl
edge of the location of the road, its
grades, the topography of the country
through which It runs, the climatic
conditions and especially of the traffic
to which it is subjected.
A construction that would give satis
factory results in one section of the
country might be entirely unsutted to
another section, and In the same man
ner materials used successfully in a
warm climate might fail In one where
extreme cold prevailed during a part
of the year.
When, as Is almost always the case,
low cost Is the controlling considera
tion, still other factors are Introduced
Into the problem, and still more data
are required for its proper solution.
The question then becomes one not of
building the best possible road, but of
building the best possible road that
can be built for the money available.
While it Is not a simple matter to an
swer the first question, yet It Is com-

parntlvely simple as contrasted with
the second, and It Is Just here that the
services of a specialist are Indispensa
ble. It Is-seldom that the available funds
are sufficient to pay for the best pos
sible roud. and It is necessary to sac
rifice lu the construction to keep with
in the limits of the available fuudu.
Such weighing of cost and quality and
the final decision as to what is the best
and most economical procedure re
quire not ouly careful thought, but
also a thorough familiarity with the
whole subject of road building and
maintenance.
There are many road binders com
posed principally of tar, besides the
several tars themselves, that are em
ployed In road building. Their use

tions to be met and the manipulation

as mucb aa any Inherent qualities of
the materials.
As In mimt work of a similar nature,
the best results are to be expected
when a material and method of con
struction areJcbosen which have given
satisfaction In a case similar to the
particular one under discussion: hence
In the last analysis the most reliable
Information Is to be gained from serv-k-e
tests of roads subjected to the same
outside Influences as that which is to
be built.
Remove tho Mud Tax Burdsn.
No plan for spring work is complete
which does not Include dragging the
roads. If this Is attended to at the
proper time It Insures good roads for
the season and removes the larger
share of that -awful burden, the mwl
tax. In this matter the towns and cit
ies are equally Interested with the
farmers, and their co-operation Is no:
generally hard to secure if the matter
is bandied rightly. Itond dragging Is
one of those things that must be se
cured through co-operation If wide-'
spread benefits are to be enjoyed.
Prosperity Follow! Good Roads.
You show me any community In this
or any other state where there are
good roads, said a speaker at a good
roads convention, and 1 will show you
a community where there are no paint
famished buildings or tottering lean
tos, a community where there Is the
air of prosperity, thrift and progression
