ROAD
BUILDING
HIGHWAYS ON PACIFIC COAST
Interesting Figures Secured by Cali
fornia Experts on Pull Required
to Move Wagon.
An energetic and influential organ
ization on the Pacific coast, the Cali
fornia State Automobile association,
has carried on some investigations af
fording definite figures of the value of
good roads. It secured the help of Prol.
J. B. Davidson of the University of
California nnd Austin B. Fletcher,
state highway engineer, In currying on
a large number of tests of the pull re
quired to move a standard farm wagon
loaded to make the gross weight ti.OlKJ
pounds. This wagon was huuled in
some cases by a two-ton truck and in
other cases by a team of good draft
horses, weighing about 1,000 pounds
each.
Tests have shown that a pull of 27
to 30 pounds per ton of gross load was
needed to haul the wagon on unsur-
faced concrete roads. When the con
crete was surfaced with oil and screen
ings the pull was increased to about 50
pounds. About 65 pounds were needed
for hauling on water-bound macadam
and on bituminous concrete laid on top
of cement concrete. On good gravel
roads a pull of 65 to 82 pounds was
needed, while on loose gravel the pull
was 263 pounds, the highest record In
any of the tests. About 80 pounds
were required for hauling on bitumin
ous macadam. On earth roadB 02
pounds were required for hauling over
a good surface covered with lhi Inches

Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.
Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, costing about
50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Se.ce and Sulphur
Compound," thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and at.tr ac: veneas. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because It does it so naturally,
so evenly. You Just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair beoomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. It la
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease. Adv.

Sheep raising offers one of the most

There is a demand for purebred sheep

You corn-pestered men and women

on a tender, aching corn or callous
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callous loosens so It
can be lifted out, root and all, with

A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callous. This should be tried
as It Is Inexpensive and Is said not

Always Tendency Among Pig to Pile
Up In Bed for Purpose of Keeping
Warm In Winter.
During cold weather there Is always
a tendency for pigs to pile up in their
bed for the purpose of keeping warm
Then some of them will become heated
up, and when they are routed out nnd
become exposed to the cold weather
many of them will contract pneumonia
Once this disease attacks a pig It near
ly always causes deuth. If death does
not ensue, there may be a cough, diffi
cult breathing and, what Is of greater
Importance, a stunted condition and
dwarfed size that makes rapid and
profitable growth Impossible.

to the use of skim milk and shows
that it can be used to greater profit

PALATABLE FEED FOR STOCK
Excellent Formula Given for Cow In
Milk and for Brood Sow With
Young Pig.
Corn fodder cut fine, thrown Into a
water-tight feed trough and mixed with
ground com and cob meal, ground oats
and Just enough boiling water to soft
en the stalks will make a most pala
table ration for cows In milk and for
brood sows with young pigs.
Grain-Fed Pigs on Pasture.
Pigs, grain-fed on pasture, will gain
a pound or more a day from weaning
to a weight of 200 to 250 pounds, while
those getting little or no grain will gain
but one-half to three-fourths of a
pound per day.
Uric- acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get

neys cleg you must help then flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery In the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu

Bat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table-
spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is mads from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with llthia,
and has been used for generation to
clean clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity, also te neu
tralize the acids in urine, so it no long
er is a source of irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Baits is Inexpensive, cannot In
jure; makes a delightful effervescent

should take now and then to keep the

Swift & Company
Publicity
At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there
was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of
Swift & Company, which showed that the Company had been con
sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign.
The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev
eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have
recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer
delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business,
relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people.
The feeling against the American packer is based largely on
the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and
consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations,
resulting in unreasonably large profits.
Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents
an insignificant factor in the cost of living.
For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift
& Company were as follows:
$875000,000.
Profits
$34,650,000. I
This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser
would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his
cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per
pound on dressed beef.
